LEDs Have Things Looking Up for Downlights
Look up in most U.S. kitchens and you’ll likely see recessed downlights
shining back at you. These fixtures have been the go-to option for
decades – not just in kitchens, but throughout the house – for providing
area lighting that doesn’t interrupt a ceiling’s clean lines

Keeping hospital balance sheets profitable is a challenging proposition
for healthcare organizations. That’s certainly one reason why so many
have undertaken lighting upgrades over the last decade to move to more
efficient LED lamps and fixtures.

Sensing Opportunities: Pros and Cons of PIR and Microwave Approaches
Lighting the great outdoors requires a bit more thought now than it did a
couple decades ago. The goal used to be simply packing as many lumens
as possible into a landscape fixture. That was the entire point.
Photocell sensors might have been used to ensure lights didn’t stay on
during daylight hours, but keeping outdoor space fully illuminated –
even when no humans were around – was seen as a key safety measure.

The Bright Future of 3-D Printed Light Fixtures
The concept of 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing,
initially surfaced in the 1980s, thanks largely to the innovative work
of engineer Chuck Hull. Hull invented a process called
'stereolithography', or SLA, a method that allowed for the creation of
3D models layer by layer, literally bringing ideas to life. It was a
revolutionary breakthrough that sparked the beginning of the 3D printing
era.

Downlights Go on a Diet with LED Technology
The beauty of recessed can downlights is their seeming sleekness. They
barely interrupt the ceiling plane, which can be an especially big bonus
in homes with lower ceiling heights and in clean-lined contemporary
room plans.
