the primary distribution channels for the new construction

Organized by the American Lighting Association (ALA), the U.S. Department of Energy (represented by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory), and the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE), Lighting for Tomorrow is a design and technology competition organized to increase the market availability of energy-efficient residential lighting fixtures and to increase the marketing, promotion, and sales of such fixtures through retailers and the primary distribution channels for the new construction and renovation markets.

Lighting for Tomorrow will be utilizing the OnSpeX laboratory as a venue to evaluate and judge newly-designed energy-efficient residential lighting fixtures. Such fixtures use advanced energy-efficient fluorescent and LED light sources instead of conventional incandescent bulbs. The OnSpeX facilities were chosen because of the technical instrumentation requirements and the expertise of the OnSpeX staff.This year, the competition is seeking new advanced compact fluorescent lamp CFL dimming systems and leading-edge residential fixtures powered by white-light LED light sources. All fixtures chosen for awards must meet the requirements of the ENERGY STAR Residential Light Fixture program.

Entries receiving Lighting for Tomorrow awards will have been chosen because they address the lighting needs of U.S. and Canadian consumers. "Price, design, quality of light and 'saleability' are important award criteria," according to Terry McGowan, Director of Engineering, American Lighting Association and a LFT organizer. "We know that energy efficiency, by itself, is not enough. Residential lighting fixtures must meet consumer expectations as to appearance, price and function if they are to sell." The LFT judging panel includes lighting designers, showroom owners, home builders and media people as well as energy and technology experts.

although some of the monster screens had relatively narrow viewing angles

Spark new tunnel light series includes 50w, 75w, 100w, 125w, 150w, 175w, 200w, which could meet different project requirements. From the exhibition we know Spark new LED tunnel light will be more and more popular, and illluminate more and more tunnels all around the world. Consumer Reports didn't render a verdict after just a quick look, but noted that Sharp "has definitely taken the lead in larger TV screen sizes." It cited the 60-, 70- and 80-inch sets from the past, saying they had typically done well in TV ratings, although some of the monster screens had relatively narrow viewing angles. Consumer Reports pointed out a question that "not everyone has the room -- or room in the budget -- for a 90-inch set." So, when rolling out the world's biggest TV (in its class, anyway), why bother with subtlety and understatement, right?Sharp Electronics of America President John Herrington said it "offers size, picture quality and smart functionality unlike anyt

you to experience the latest developments in LED lighting technologies

In early 2012, the photometric testing laboratory of Edison Opto became the first LM 80 corporate testing laboratory to be certified by UL, and in September of the same year, the photometric testing laboratory was certified by UL as a product safety testing laboratory. The certifications in product safety and performance will enable Edison Opto to reduce the time spent on R&D and dive into the international market. Additionally, Edison Opto will be able to expand services globally to the various fields of lighting applications. Edison Opto has the advantage of rapid validation of the company’s internal testing laboratory, which allows Edison Opto to maintain its leading position in the global lighting market. Edison Opto will be exhibiting at INTERLIGHT MOSCOW 2012 (from 06 Nov. to 09 Nov., 2012, in IEC Expocentre, Booth F.A109) and Electronica 2012 (from 13 Nov. to 16 Nov., 2012, in Messe München, Hall A5, Booth A5.301).
