The global phototherapy equipment/device market size was valued at US$481.5 million in 2016 and is anticipated to witness an attractive growth over the forecast period. Huge prevalence of skin diseases is leading to extensive growth of phototherapy equipment market. Skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne related problems are rising to a great extent…
A relatively recent trend in the industry is to embed “luminaire-integrated” (embedded) controls into each fixture. This can be done in different ways, with different types of components, and with different types of control systems. The most basic version of “luminaire-integrated” controls consists of on-board sensors that tell the fixture what to do…
You will often hear manufacturers tout that their LED fixtures or lighting controls are “now DLC qualified!”, so what does it really mean to be DLC qualified, and — as an electrical contractor, lighting specifier or designer — why should you care? Used by many utilities to determine which products are eligible for energy rebates, the DLC Qualified Products List is also a useful reference tool for comparing and selecting fixtures and control systems for your lighting project.
Generally, we all know what is entailed in a product recall, namely that there was something unsafe about the product or in some instances it has already resulted in injury or situations where an injury could have occurred. But what is the formal process for identifying a product that should be recalled, and what role does Health Canada and a firm recalling a product truly play?
So where does photonics fit in? Perhaps it would be easier to ask where doesn’t photonics fit in…
Darren Fisher, the MP of Dartmouth-Cole Harbour in Nova Scotia, proposed the private member’s bill after recognizing the dangers and lack of regulation surrounding mercury containing lamps.
Sometimes it makes sense to go “Back to the Future,” so to speak, in order to have a better perspective. In this case, to Tucson, Arizona in 1998, where Wendell Strong attended a meeting that foresaw much of what has come to bear in the lighting market.
Technological change has often been the cause for major market disruption. Consumers tend to benefit from these kinds of disruptions through improved service levels or radically lower prices. Wholesalers and distributors, however, have fewer means to drive changes themselves.

Technological change has often been the cause of major market disruption. Manufacturers have the potential and often the resources to lead the transition towards a completely different market environment. Wholesalers and distributors, however, have fewer means to drive changes themselves and face the risk of being squeezed on multiple sides by digital customers, changing value chains and strong manufacturer brands. This paper focuses on electrical wholesalers facing disruptive change and how they can successfully meet their customers’ needs.
Daylight management is an emerging term referring to strategies and technologies for controlling daylight penetration in interior spaces through windows, clerestories, skylights, tubular daylighting devices, and building core sun-lighting systems to maximize daylight benefits. This article presents key performance aspects affected by daylight penetration in interior spaces, along with strategies and technologies used to effectively manage its dispersion to address the daily and seasonal changes in outdoor and indoor conditions…
ANSI C78.377-2015 American National Standard for Electric Lamps — Specifications for the Chromaticity of Solid-State Lighting (SSL) Products provides the range of chromaticity (colour) for general SSL products. It applies to LED products (SSL that uses light-emitting diodes) for general indoor lighting applications…
