Message From The Editor
End of a year full of excitement
If we were to summarize the year ending, I would gladly say that the highlight has been new uses of LED technology and lighting controls. The industry has also been involved in the issue of blue light and its health effects. Lighting projects are increasingly grandiose, but sometimes the low cost of using LEDs masks some of the human costs, and a starry sky is increasingly scarce in some reaches of the planet. We have the privilege to be part of a rapidly changing and booming industry. Technology is being refined, and people in the industry have no hesitation meeting the technical challenges and responsibilities that accompany such a deployment. You can read here what established leaders of our industry are saying. Wishing you a good end of the year, and a new year full of discoveries and success. Good reading!
