Don't take lighting for granted
Since the arrival of lighting controls, it is increasingly true that we take lighting for granted at our own peril. After all, some of us now plan our vacations around lighting trade shows, festivals and installations. In this issue we look at the ability to talk to our lighting. In a context where we often focus on the savings realized with LED lighting, we ignore the benefits of upgrading our lighting control systems. In this issue, we begin a 3-part series on selecting industrial lighting. Good reading!
