Indian researchers claim that commercial buildings with LED lighting could gain energy independence by installing standalone solar-plus-storage systems. They said a 914.4 kW PV system linked to ...

The LED industry is in the midst of a rapid development cycle. In an effort to lengthen bulb lifetime, intensify colors, and create higher energy efficiencies, manufacturers are developing LEDs at an ...

The DesignLights Consortium (DLC) this month finalized a policy aimed at promoting installation of commercial lighting products that advance energy efficiency, drive adoption of controls, support ...

Energy efficiency often translates directly into financial benefits. Lighting systems that consume less electricity can substantially reduce monthly utility expenses. Over time, these savings ...

A revolution in illumination was underway a decade or so ago, as companies, universities, and retailers began swapping out energy-wasting fluorescent and incandescent lamps for super-efficient ...

Lighting plays a crucial role in architecture: to allow users to see, safely inhabit spaces, and carry out their daily activities. But its power has long exceeded these basic functions, primarily ...

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics was recently awarded to three scientists (Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano, and Shuji Nakamura) for inventing the blue light-emitting diode (LED) roughly 20 years ago.

University engineers upgraded lightbulbs to LED lighting and improved ventilation in buildings like Pillsbury Hall and Mondale Library over the past year. These updates will reduce future maintenance ...

Why digitizing lighting is important. How PoE-based lighting will improve smart buildings. Designers of smart homes, offices, and factories constantly seek new ways to improve the efficiency of the ...
