Welcome to LEDs Magazine’s News & Insights for Dec. 13, 2023. Keep an eye out for our annual “Top 20 stories” next week, when we will reveal the most-read articles of 2023. In the lead-up to that report, we have been including the top 3 articles in specific topics in our monthly hot-topic newsletters for horticultural lighting technology, connected lighting and controls, and the upcoming lighting for health and wellbeing. As always, I’m intrigued by what has generated the most interest among our readers and am looking forward to sharing that with you.
In this week’s edition, we feature an unusual quality-control test by Glamox, complete with a video demonstrating the extremes of abuse some luminaires are designed to withstand. We also have an update on Signify’s corporate suite and how changes relate to recent restructuring news, courtesy of Mark Halper.
Finally, we have a tribute to WAC Lighting veteran Leonard Schwartz, and an announcement from the Lighting Research Center regarding its next graduate lighting program opportunity. The highly respected program leverages the collective knowledge of architectural, engineering, lighting, and physics staff to deliver a multidisciplinary master’s degree.
