Message From The Editor

Managing Editor, Line Goyette The breakdown of borders and markets

Health, science, and technological developments at the forefront and projects that make our creators shine are just two aspects of lighting discussed in this issue. Competitions are multiplying, trade shows are not only more and more numerous, but are reaching unimaginable dimensions compared to the time when lamps and ballasts were the main components of lighting systems. Industry players have changed the manufacturing side with the multiplication of mergers and sales, and are even sometimes difficult to recognize by the extent of the technologies involved, the Internet of Things being one. Good reading!

But a few issues must be resolved. One is… Read More
