Message From The Editor
The lighting and the celebration were with us
Those who braved the cold during the transition to the new year experienced often magical moments thanks to the happy marriage between lighting and public holidays. Light has this power to bring people together and unify them towards a common focus, whether it be a place, a spectacle or an artifact. This is surely one of the reasons why we meet so many passionate people in this environment and in our industry. We present one of these people in this issue, as well as places and technologies that improve the world we're aiming for. Good reading, and a 2018 filled with success. Feel free to share your successes with LDS readers. Write to us!

LED Technology
Too Much of a Good Thing?
By David Nathaniel
There are typically many benefits associated with technology advances. This is certainly the case for LED lighting because the compactness of the light source allows luminaire designers tremendous possibilities. Picture a revolutionary LED recessed downlight. It is very thin and quick to install, even if a ceiling stud is in the way. Users who have concrete ceilings can build a drop ceiling that will accommodate these fixtures without losing much height.
