Researchers at the University of Strathclyde in the UK have developed a process to use dynamically controlled LEDs for 3D imaging.

Due to continuing disruption to operations for both DesignLights Consortium (DLC) members and stakeholders as a result of COVID-19, the DLC is extending the deadline to update and the delisting date for products qualified under SSL V4.4 by two months.

I recently had the opportunity to interview Rahul Shira, Senior Product Marketing Manager, Signify US, for an article about tunable-white lighting I developed for tED Magazine. This is the transcript.

White-light color tuning is one of the most exciting advantages of LED lighting, providing the ability to adjust luminaire color output across the white light spectrum. As the timed spectral emission of light plays a part in circadian lighting—the application of light to promote circadian health—this developing trend offers the potential to take tunable white more mainstream.

“The technology exists to not only greatly increase the efficacy of commercial lighting, but to capitalize on its largely untapped potential to reduce peak demand. It’s time for regulation and practice to catch up with technology.”

The DesignLights Consortium (DLC) has released the final version of its Technical Requirements for LED-based Horticultural Lighting: Version 2.0, an update that will continue the industry transition from traditional lighting data and metrics to horticultural-specific lighting data and metrics that best represent horticultural lighting performance. The changes have an effective date of March 31, 2021.

My contribution to the July 2020 issue of ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR analyzes the major lighting requirements and what’s new in the 2019 version of the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1 energy standard.

My contribution to the August issue of tED Magazine, the official publication of the NAED, covers what’s new in connected lighting.

The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) has announced the relaunch of its online Career Center to facilitate connections between employers and great talent.
