 UV LEDs & Sustainable Design
This issue looks at UV-C lighting, sustainable design, and lighting control narratives. The latter is an article courtesy Craig DiLouie who discusses the importance of documenting the intent and settings of lighting control systems. We also have a couple articles from Light+Building, the first looking at the role of lighting in smart cities and the second is a preview of their autumn show. |

UV LEDs
IES and IUVA Collaborate on UV Optical and Electrical Measurement Standard
 This new Lighting Measurement (LM) standard, developed by subject matter experts from IES and the International Ultraviolet Association (IUVA), provides guidance for the measurement of UV-emitting LEDs, normally available in the form of an LED package, array, or module. Due to the optical characteristics of UV LEDs and their dependence on junction temperature, the only way to obtain reproducible results universally for all types of UV LEDs is by setting them to a specified junction temperature.

Best Practices for Lighting Control Narratives
By Craig DiLouie
 As lighting controls become more sophisticated in application and capabilities, properly documenting the system’s intent and settings becomes critical.

Smart Cities
More Safety Through Connected Lighting Technology
 Innovative lighting concepts can make a decisive contribution to safety in both urban and rural areas. After all, illuminated streets and squares ensure that pedestrians or cyclists have good visibility and - just as important - are seen by others. Of course, road traffic also requires illumination that is adapted to the local situation and the respective traffic volume in order to enable drivers to arrive safely after dark. Read More |
