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

Lighting the Way to Better Health Outcomes
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.

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.

Making the Right Connections in Outside Lighting Jobs
Solar-powered exterior lighting has certainly gotten more popular over
the last decade or so, given how inexpensive the fixtures are and how
easy it is to install. But there remains a strong market for the
hardwired variety in shady areas, where more powerful light is required
and when you want to be sure the light works when you need it, even
after a cloudy day.

Courting New Business? Check Out Pickleball
They look a lot like a whiffle ball – and sound like one, too – but that
thwok, thwok, thwok sound now resounding through cities and suburbs,
alike, is probably coming from a pickleball ball, the centerpiece of a
sport soon to be coming to a court near you (in the unlikely case that
it hasn’t already), and possibly even to an Olympic arena, if proponents
have their way.

Humans Love Lumens. But Plants? Something Else.
It took a while, but people finally understand that watts don’t measure visible light output.
Lumens do.
Watts
has to do with energy consumption, not light output. Getting some folks
to understand that was a tough nut to crack, and I’m guessing some
still don’t have a handle on it.
