SESSION 3
LEDs: The Move to a Digital World. Presented by:
The adoption of LED lighting is expected to accelerate dramatically over the next several years. The basics of this are well understood: lower energy consumption, lower maintenance costs, longer life. The industry’s drive over the last several years has been to improve light output and efficacy and most would agree that we are at least at a “good enough” point for many illumination applications. But the true definition of an LED solution that delivers “Illumination Grade” performance. For conventional light sources there is a wealth of experience and metrics to help determine this. With LEDs there are few to choose from. Attendees will gain an understanding and clear impression of how to consider and evaluate illumination grade LEDs:
