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.

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.

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.

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.
