The Illuminating Engineering Society has announced it is now accepting submissions for the 2020 Illumination Awards.

The DesignLights Consortium (DLC) recently launched an online Qualified Products List (QPL) for networked lighting controls, making it easier and faster to find products. The new tool is the DLC’s latest effort to broaden adoption of energy-saving and smart building-enabling networked lighting control technologies.

Signify recently unveiled its facilities to 3D print light shades and luminaires in the Netherlands, and plans to establish 3D printing factories in the US, India and Indonesia.

eos Light’s LightPaper LED sheets are thin, lightweight, flexible, and field-cuttable light sources, designed for backlighting curved surfaces, walls, ceilings, columns and virtually any acrylic, stone or textured material that may require very low setback between the illuminated surface and the light source itself.

Austrian sensor manufacturer AMS has announced its November 7, 2019 all-cash takeover offer for OSRAM Licht AG has crossed the acceptance threshold among OSRAM’s shareholders, and has been accepted.

Zhaga and MD-SIG recently announced that they have agreed to align their efforts and to proceed as a single organization under the Zhaga Consortium. Zhaga members have access to the former MD-SIG specifications as part of their Zhaga membership.

Rensselaer’s Lighting Research Center has partnered with Eaton Corporation on a project to develop a complete additively manufactured, LED-integrated luminaire. Under funding from the United States Department of Energy, the project will address the main barriers to widespread adoption of additive manufacturing technology (also known as 3D printing) as applied to solid-state lighting.

LSI Industries has launched a new version of its edge-lit flat LED panel to enhance its versatility.

Observation data produced by the Planck Satellite Mission suggests the universe may not be flat, as popularly believed by scientists, but a sphere.
