New Research Finds LEDs Favorable in Videoconferencing

11/15/2016 by Lighting Controls Association Leave a Comment

According to new research by Lutron Electronics, lighting for video conferencing (VTC) applications must accommodate the visual requirements of the people and the camera, and provide visibility of any display materials, especially to remote participants. Achieving the proper lighting balance requires the right combination of fixtures and the right combination of control strategies. While linear […]

Market Research Suggests High Degree of Confidence with LED Lighting and Controls

11/19/2014 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Given current adoption of commercial building energy codes, conventional wisdom indicates that LED lighting is frequently specified with automatic lighting controls. However, there is little public data available concerning market penetration of LED lighting, how often it is specified as controllable and with lighting controls, owner preferences, and how satisfied specifiers and installers are with […]

Controlling Plasma Lighting: A Short Conversation With Randy Reid Of LUXIM

09/06/2011 by Lighting Controls Association Leave a Comment

Plasma lighting is a new generation of efficient lighting suitable for high-intensity applications such as parking lot, high-bay warehouse, streetlights, billboard and garage applications. The basic technology consists of a driver that emits radio waves to create an electric field around the source, which converts its contents into a plasma state that generates intense white light. The result is a light source about the size of a tic-tac that produces up to 23,000 initial lumens.

Craig DiLouie of the Lighting Controls Association recently talked to Randy Reid, VP marketing for Luxim, about the control aspects of this interesting and novel lighting technology. Click the below link to see the interview.
