Message From The Editor
Lighting once again at the heart of celebrations
We know it is with the utmost privilege that lighting finds itself in technical, technological and artistic categories. Installation design and technological innovation bring together immense talents from all disciplines. See in this issue Canadians whose talent once again has been recognized and emphasized for a lighting fixture that can restore fluorescents and an iconic lighting installation. In a time of new technologies and new technological and technical solutions, we invite you to participate in a debate on "or equivalent products." Climate change is affecting the environment in many documented ways. Lighting can also be involved; studies are exploring its effect and we report on one here. Good reading!
