Fagerhult has taken an important step towards sustainability by announcing that its extruded aluminum profiles for several high-volume product lines will now consist of 75% recycled material. This change marks a significant move in the company’s ongoing commitment to reducing its environmental impact, particularly its carbon footprint.  The transition to recycled aluminum affects some of [...]

Amber LED light fixtures are used in cleanrooms to minimize the impact on photochemically sensitive materials and processes, such as photoresists used in semiconductor manufacturing. The 590nm amber light filters out shorter, potentially damaging wavelengths (like blue and UV), preventing premature reactions or exposure. Why Amber Lighting is Used in Cleanrooms: Protection of Photoresists: In semiconductor manufacturing, [...]

T1L (10BASE-T1L) Ethernet technology has significant potential to accellerate building automation, by enabling the reuse of existing wiring to upgrade network infrastructure without costly running of new wiring. Building management systems (BMS) can been run on T1L and this can have implications for lighting systems. T1L Ethernet is a long-distance networking solution that leverages a [...]

The Crestron SolarSync Outdoor Daylight and Color Temperature Sensor (GLS-LCCT) enables the ability to regulate indoor lighting to match the intensity and color temperature of actual daylight outdoors. A single SolarSync sensor installed on a building’s rooftop measures the exact correlated color temperature (CCT) and illuminance (lux) of the natural daylight, and reports it to [...]

Govee has introduced its latest home lighting innovation, the Strip Light with Skyline Kit, designed to transform ordinary living spaces into dynamic, visually engaging environments. The standout feature of the Skyline Kit is its floating wall-washing effect. Unlike standard strip lights that simply illuminate a surface, this system projects a broad, upward glow that washes [...]

InventWood, a Maryland-based company, is pioneering a revolutionary building material called SUPERWOOD that promises to transform the construction industry by combining exceptional strength with sustainability. Patented in 2018 by Dr. Liangbing Hu, SUPERWOOD is produced by removing certain components of wood’s cellular structure and compressing it, resulting in a material that is up to 12 [...]
