The lighting community met at LEDucation last week

Interoperability, small form factor, wireless, were important buzz words on the product floor at LEDucation. I’ve also seen products aesthetically amazing. The possibility to play with the lumens, the CRI, suspended, wall washed, bollards, all forms, with or without cables, with or without the sun, but using natural light was almost infinite.

Numerous Canadians were part of the show as attendees or as exhibitors. It was my first experience at LEDucation, it’s a rendez-vous for next year. Good reading!
