From Theory to Application: Understanding and Implementing Color Temperature and CRI in Lighting Design
Maintaining proper lighting levels, color temperature, and Color Rendering Index (CRI) is crucial for various applications. Color temperature affects the ambiance, while CRI determines color accuracy. LEDs offer flexibility in color temperature, have a high CRI, produce less heat, and are energy-efficient compared to incandescent lamps.

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

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.
