Welcome to LEDs Magazine’s News & Insights for June 28, 2023. As we head closer to July, it’s planning season for us – media kits, editorial calendar, content strategy, and more. There is a lot happening behind the scenes, and I am happy to say that also means we have an opportunity in our Lighting Group for an associate editor to work with LEDs and our colleagues on Architectural SSL. If you’ve thought about getting involved on the content side of LED and lighting technology and applications, or know someone who would be a great candidate, please check out the listing and applicant portal.

In this issue:

  • LHRC scientists explain the causes of headlight glare and propose paths to eliminate it.

Please stay in touch about content we publish and to propose contributed articles.
