  BougeRV’s T1 is a telescoping, rechargeable camping lantern that collapses into an 11.5‑inch metal tube, then extends to 5.5 ft to act as a freestanding light post covering up to 100 m² with up to 3,000 lumens output. Three adjustable fold-out light arms and multiple colors/modes let it function as area light, lantern, or [...]

  Vertical GaN is a power semiconductor technology where current flows vertically through a GaN-on-GaN structure rather than laterally across the surface, enabling much higher breakdown voltages, current densities, and switching speeds in a compact device. By using bulk GaN layers on native GaN substrates, it reduces defects, improves thermal handling and avalanche robustness, and [...]

  LinkedIn measured the year-over-year growth of marketing skills based on two criteria: Skill acquisition measures the growth of a given skill being added to member profiles. Hiring success measures the growth of a given skill possessed by members who have been hired in the past year. Here are LinkedIn’s top 10 fastest-growing marketing skills, [...]

  Cities are shifting from scattered AI pilots to “decision-ready intelligence” that reliably shapes public decisions, withstands scrutiny, and builds trust. The real gap is not between data and algorithms, but between insights and the ability of governments to act on them confidently and accountably. Many municipalities have already run impressive AI experiments, such as [...]

  In February 2026, the Oregon Building Codes Division’s Residential and Manufactured Structures Board (RMSB) approved updates for the 2026 Oregon Residential Specialty Code (ORSC). While the headline changes focus on high-efficiency heat pumps, several lighting efficiency and control updates are included in the new standards to align with current LED technology and regional climate goals. These updates [...]

  DMF Lighting’s newly enhanced A Series illuminated room sign is a sleek, ADA-compliant, wall-mounted LED sign engineered to simplify installation, servicing, and project logistics while offering extensive aesthetic customization. It targets healthcare, multifamily, hospitality, higher education, and other commercial environments where clear, code-compliant room identification and visual consistency are critical. The next-generation A Series [...]

  Red-green-blue-amber-lime (RGBAL) light engines are evolving toward higher spectral quality, more channels, and smarter control, with a strong push from pro‑stage, film, and architectural applications. From RGBAL to multi-spectral Manufacturers are extending beyond RGBAL into 6–8 color engines (e.g., adding royal blue, deep red, indigo) to widen gamut and fix “gappy” spectra from older [...]

  The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) will indirectly but materially raise the security bar for IoT products sold in North America, because global manufacturers will tend to converge on CRA‑compliant designs and lifecycle practices rather than maintain separate security baselines for different regions. Why CRA matters outside Europe The CRA applies to any “product [...]

According to rebate experts BriteSwitch, commercial lighting rebates remain widely available and financially attractive in 2026, but programs are shifting toward deeper energy savings, controls, and away from legacy fluorescent technologies. Despite high LED penetration, many utilities still view lighting as a cost‑effective efficiency resource and are increasing many incentive levels to drive next‑generation retrofits [...]
