This month’s LEDs Magazine Applications Digest came together with an unplanned theme of environmental stewardship. As we outlined in a late 2023 column, the idea of meaningful action continues to permeate the lighting industry, from careful consideration of materials selection and distribution channels to addressing decarbonization objectives at an operational level. More efficient deployment of horticultural lighting tailored to crop needs will reduce energy demands and allow growers to invest in advanced water and environmental control technology in their facilities. And a deeper dive into the performance of outdoor lighting controls options will enable managers of municipal and public spaces to better balance maintenance, capital investment, and energy cost pressures.
