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.

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.

Harnessing the Germ-Fighting Power of Light We Can’t See
It’s hard to believe that it was just three years ago that much of the
country was on red alert status thanks to Covid. Researchers were still
learning more about the new virus, but one thing they were sure of was
that it spread through the air, which made air purification systems a
new priority for any place people gathered in large numbers.

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.

Today’s Sensors Bring New Savings to Light
Occupancy sensors are quickly becoming a regulatory requirement in many
commercial spaces, thanks to evolving energy codes seeking to wring out
kilowatt-hours of energy savings anywhere it’s possible.
