BriteSwitch recently published a post on its website analyzing the best and worst regions of the United States for lighting rebates. While the firm found no clear winner due to the wide variation in rebates by territory, they concluded: • The three states with the highest population have the worstrebates
• Rebates in the Northeast are generous, but there’s a catch • The Midwest and Southwest offer strong incentives but with widevariation
BriteSwitch also evaluated areas in which rebate funding is drained more quickly than anticipated, and how the type of product selected makes a big difference in the rebate.Check it out here .

No Comments on Product Monday: LED Downlights by Espen Espen Technology offers a line of commercial LED downlights with field-adjustable light output and correlated color temperature (CCT). This switchable output and CCT reduces the inventory carrying requirements for distributors and electrical contractors. Espen Technology offers a line of commercial LED downlights with field-adjustable light output and correlated color temperature (CCT). This switchable output and CCT reduces the inventory carrying requirements for distributors and electrical contractors. A single model for 4”, 6”, 8”, and 9.5” diameter replaces nine models of varying output and CCTs. As an example, the 8” diameter downlight can be selected for any combination of 1100, 1650, or 2200 lumens with 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K CCT. That combines nine conventional models in one switchable model. All of the new commercial downlights are 90+ CRI for exceptional color rendering, 0-10V dimmable, and universal voltage (120-277V). The downlights come with a 25” flexible conduit for quick and easy installation. The units come UL-listed with a 5 year warranty. The product recently won a Vision Award sponsored by Facilities.net.

Originally conceived as a scholarship program and later opened to young persons working in lighting in North America, the Grant is administered by the New York Section under the auspices of the IES. Anyone 35 years or under, studying or working in the art and/or science of illumination, in the United States, Canada or Mexico can apply. Jessica Collier, MFA, LC, is currently working at Pacific Northwest Labs in Portland, OR, where she serves as an Associate Lighting Research Engineer. She received a grant for her work examining the relationship between objective color metrics and subjective color preferences. In 2018, she earned her Master of Fine Art, Lighting Design from Parsons School of Design, The New School. Her Thesis Title was The Intersection of Color Metrics and Qualities Guided by Perception for which she received an IESNYC Thesis Award. Tony Esposito, PhD, working at Lighting Research Solutions has received a grant for his scholarly work on color discrimination, defining the limitations of current metrics and developing a computational tool to aid in the establishment of accurate predictors for applied lighting. Currently, he is the Head Research Scientist at Lighting Research Solutions LLC in Somerville, MA, a company he founded. He earned his PhD in 2016 from Penn State University in Architectural Engineering.Continue Reading __
