On July 15, 2021, from 12 – 1:30 PM ET, the Illuminating Engineering Society will host a special webinar providing updates on light and health research from three leading institutions.

LSI Industries’ Opulence is a new series of outdoor luminaires available with five mounting styles and aesthetics including a curved luminaire, clean housing, and a nearly seamless mounting assembly.

LD+A’s Katie Nale recently interviewed a roundtable of lighting experts about changes they see coming in buildings and lighting in a post-COVID world.

Anca D. Galasiu, National Research Council Canada and C. F. Reinhart, Massachusetts Institute of Technology have co-authored a report, Current Daylighting Design Practice: A Survey, which attempts to create a snapshot of current daylight design practices.

LD+A recently published an Illuminating Engineering Society survey about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lighting industry. The survey was conducted among the IES membership with 1,083 responses from across the industry.

The New York City Section of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IESNYC) honored Daniel Reinhard, MS in Lighting, at the Lighting Research Center (LRC), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI); Hsin-Ying Huan, MFA Lighting Design from Parsons the School of Design; and Bobby Bradley, Master of Professional Studies in Lighting Design at the New York School of Interior Design (NYSID), on June 23, 2021 when they presented their winning theses to a virtual audience of educators, students, and lighting professionals. The IESNYC awarded each recipient $2,000.

Featuring a built-in LED light engine and compatible with Interact controls, Signify’s 3D Printed Low Bay BA L Series is fully customizable with light output 1000 to 7500 lumens, CCT 2700K to 4000K, 90 CRI, 18 colors, six textures, and a choice of an opaque, metallic, or translucent finish. The light engine is available with 0-10V dimming.

The consensus method ANSI/IES TM-30 has been used increasingly since its introduction in 2015, offering superior accuracy and expanded scope of included information compared to predecessor tools for assessing color rendition. A new tutorial article authored by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and published in LEUKOS consolidates a range of updated information to assist with best practices.

The New York City Section of the IES (IESNYC) has announced the 14 winners of the 53rd Annual Lumen Awards. Three projects received a Lumen Award of Excellence, seven received Awards of Merit, and four received Citations.
