Welcome to LEDs Magazine’s News & Insights for June 14, 2023. Our June magazine issue went live recently, celebrating the 2023 BrightStar Awards Honorees in more detail; covering lessons lighting companies can take away from others’ experiences with remanufacturing; comparing metrics for horticultural lighting; and more. If you haven’t subscribed to get issue alerts delivered straight to your inbox, there’s no time like the present.

In this issue:

• Wanda Lau reminds the lighting community not to lose sight of vulnerable populations, both stakeholders in the built environment and industry colleagues who need our support.

• OEM sales agency Bill Brown Sales brings LED light engine developer MetroSpec Technology onto its line card.

• Big names Signify and Siemens are joining forces for vertical farm data management.

Also, notice I’ve included a link to a podcast on EV charging infrastructure by Smart Buildings Technology senior editor Matt Vincent. As we’re seeing more lighting entities gaining entry to this market, I want to know: Where do you think this falls in terms of our coverage? What do you want to know? How do we make connections between lighting and EV technology, or do we leave this to the operational/informational technology integrators in the SBT sector? I’m still trying to make sense of it, so I would love to hear from our audience.
