One of the most common forms of regulating lighting levels in LED systems is the 1-10V management.

This method is very similar to the direct dimming approach except that the driver uses a 1-10 V analogue signal coming from a multichannel dimmer to define the quantity of light necessary.

Such dimmers have a relay system that interrupts the chain while a multitude of drivers control the brightness of a single light-source.

We live in a world where our food is organic, our coffee is organic, we dress our children in organic cotton … but do we ever stop to think if our lighting is also environmentally friendly?

In our busy daily routines we use artificial light to complete all daily tasks both at home and in the office but how does that affect our planet?

An autumn night, a city park, bright LED flowers, neon benches, music and glowing mirrors – that’s not a magic dream but part of abstract art installations at the traditional Lights Festival held in Oakland, California. The event started 6 years ago as a lantern fest but now it gives us the latest and most innovative lighting technology.

The 23rd Sofia Motor Show was held from 14 to 22 October at Inter Expo Centre. The event, which was held onto an area of 14 000 square metres, aimed to show the best that the automobile industry has to offer this year. More than 65 participants and over 40 global car brands displayed their 300+ specimens.
