"New Ideas in LED Lighting" by Dale Potter of Tresco Lighting (approved by NKBA for 0.2 CEU) One hour presentation
While the choice to specify Light-emitting Diodes (LEDs) is becoming more common, the improvements to the design, variety of types, and styles of LED fixtures is developing so quickly that it can be a challenge for designers to stay abreast of the latest market-ready innovations. Dale will discuss the benefits of LED lighting when compared to other traditional bulb types and will provide a general overview of how new technologies allow for greater control of LED fixtures, light quality, and lumens. We will also explore the next generation of LED fixtures made possible by innovative contemporary designs, improved secondary optics, wireless technology, and OLEDs. Finally, we will glimpse into the future, exploring developing technologies such as laser diodes and battery free sensors.
