Message From The Editor
The importance of staying in sync with demographic trends
In this issue we invite you to meet Serge Le Myre, the founding president of Éclairage Dimension Plus. The course of his career and his company illustrate very well the connection between the different industry segments that exist at the core of lighting projects that can be industrial or minimalist. It reminds us of the importance of combining market trends with demographic changes to better reflect and meet contemporary demands. A new vision for illuminating the City of London offers important lessons for urban lighting. Read more about it here. Also, understand the link between the Internet of Things and intelligent lighting. Are they inseparable? Good reading!

Light and Darkness: A Lighting Vision for the City of London
Public consultation has just closed on a dramatic and ambitious proposal to re-light the City of London, described as a "once in a generation" opportunity afforded by the upgrading of the street, amenity and architectural lighting owned and operated by the City of London. The need for a comprehensive lighting strategy arises from the need to replace the majority of the public lighting systems, which are now coming to the end of their life.
