Over the last 10 years LED technology has come to dominate every lighting application. This is a technology shift perhaps as big as the jump from gas lighting to incandescent 100 years ago that has taken place within a massive, well established industry. LED technology can outperform previous lighting technologies by every metric, but they don&#39;t always, and LEDs bring new features and opportunities. So we ask the questions - why and how has this happened, what are the implications, and what does the future hold for lighting technology and lighting professionals. In particular, we will cover the dominant LED lighting technologies for general illumination; newly enabled lighting applications in horticulture, health, and manufacturing; sky glow and ecological impacts; and future prospects for the technology. <p fr-original-style='font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3);-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;margin:0px 0px 8px;line-height:1.44;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:"Aptos Display";text-align:left;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;' style='font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3);-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;margin:0px 0px 8px;line-height:1.44;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:"Aptos Display";text-align:left;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;'><span fr-original-style='line-height: 19.200001px; font-size: 16px; font-family: "Aptos Display"; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);' style='line-height: 19.2px; font-size: 16px; font-family: "Aptos Display"; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: inherit;'>About the Speaker<p fr-original-style='font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3);-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;margin:0px 0px 8px;line-height:1.44;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:"Aptos Display";text-align:left;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;' style='font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3);-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;margin:0px 0px 8px;line-height:1.44;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:"Aptos Display";text-align:left;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;'><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1770424843/wysiwyg/nrmsfr4ctk6t7zczdi4l.jpg" style="width: 218px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; position: relative; max-width: 100%; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 218px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">Dr. Morgan Pattison has spent the last 20 years managing R&amp;D and consulting within the topic of LED and lighting technology and applications.
