Advanced Control for Outdoor Lighting
Traditionally, outdoor lighting was automatically turned ON and OFF at the circuit level by an astronomical time switch or photosensor. Energy codes are now promoting power reduction during dusk-to-dawn lighting operation. Coupled with advances in wireless communication and intelligent control, the result is dramatic changes in how outdoor lighting is controlled. New construction Twenty-four states […]
VTTI Tests On-Demand Roadway Lighting
Vehicles are expected to play a big part in the Internet of Things.

NEMA Publishes NEMA SSL 7A-2015 Phase-Cut Dimming for Solid State Lighting—Basic Compatibility
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) published NEMA SSL 7A-2015 Phase-Cut Dimming for Solid State Lighting—Basic Compatibility. This standard provides compatibility requirements when a forward phase-cut dimmer is combined with one or more dimmable light-emitting diode (LED) light engines (LLEs). An LLE, for the purposes of this document, comprises one or more LED modules, LED […]
Seeking Compatibility in the LED Era
ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING recently published an article by Clay Risen, “Seeking Compatibility in the LED Era,” that begins: The transition from conventional to solid-state lighting components is still far from plug-and-play—and the lack of universal standards is not helping. Read it here.
Lutron’s Ethan Biery on Flicker
Ethan Biery, LED Engineering Leader, Lutron Electronics, recently contributed a very good article to LEDs Magazine about the current struggle to establish good metrics to characterize flicker. From the article: The evolution of LEDs in the lighting market has not always been smooth, but the technology has come a long way since the early days. […]
