  There is a shortage in AI memory chip supply, due to the explosive growth in AI server memory demand. DRAM and NAND prices have surge up to 70%. This memory shortage will not directly constrain basic lighting components (LEDs, drivers, optics), but it is likely to slow availability and raise costs for “smart” and [...]

  DALS Power Stems are patent-pending, quick-connect stems that simplify pendant installation by delivering both electrical power and structural support without any wiring required. Each stem screws directly into the canopy, no cutting, no splicing, no guesswork. Installers simply select the lengths they need, combining 6”, 12”, and 24” increments to achieve heights from 6 inches [...]

  Quantum sensing uses uniquely quantum properties of light and matter—such as superposition, entanglement, and squeezed states—to measure physical quantities (like phase, displacement, fields, or photon number) with sensitivities that can surpass classical sensors. In photonics, new interferometry-based schemes with quantum light can simultaneously estimate multiple parameters of an optical network (e.g., phase shifts and [...]

  Zaneen’s Lum is a customizable magnetic design system with two types of components: panels with no light, and panels with LED light (all panels must be installed horizontally). The panels are interchangeable and can be configured into multiple designs. There are many finishes available to choose from for Lum, including copper and leather options. [...]

Typical solar lighting is completely off-grid, relying entirely on solar panels and a battery to power the street or area light. A more recent variation that is gaining traction is hybrid solar street and area lights. These lights contain the solar panels and battery, but also have a grid hook up for backup power, when [...]

  Flying cars have been a sci-fi staple for almost a century. There is a type of small flying vehicle that is now very close to commercial production. An eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) is a new type of aircraft that uses electric power for vertical flight, allowing it to take off, hover, and land [...]

Stacko Aim is a constant current miniature display lighting product. It has four beam distributions and is a part of the modular Stacko Collection allowing users to ‘stack’ products together to create unique lighting arrangements that comes standard in white, black and brushed aluminium. There is a 1 light engine providing 102lm and 1.12W. This [...]

  UV LEDs are increasing being used in manufacturing to replace mercury lamps for applications like UV curing and lithography. UV-A/B LED curing is production‑ready in many industrial segments, while deep UV‑C LED curing is still emerging and application‑specific rather than a drop‑in replacement for mercury sources, across the board. For UV‑A/UV‑B curing (inks, coatings, [...]

  A recent article in SmartCitiesWorld.net argues that smart streetlighting should be valued not just for illumination but as a strategic digital platform that can drive safety, sustainability, operational savings across many municipal departments, as well as new revenue for cities. Streetlighting is one of the most pervasive, upgrade-ready assets that cities own, capable of [...]
