This announcement is long overdue...but we now have offices in Texas AND Colorado!!
Please contact us for any of your Lutron or lighting design needs!

You won't be finding them at Home Depot any time soon...but within the next 10 years, this could hit the market. It wasn't too long from the time blue LEDs were invented (which enabled the ability to create all colors of light) to the time we started seeing white LED fixtures and bulbs in the high-end market.
Anyway...pretty darned cool stuff!!
The world’s first white laser could revolutionize lighting and display tech | ExtremeTech This white laser could signal a new era in lighting technology that's brighter and more efficient than LEDs.
Without this innovation, LEDs would still be limited to nothing more than status indicators (power and charging lights, etc.) sometimes it's the seemingly little breakthroughs that have the most impact.

Nice to see some Lutron at The Franklin Institute Science Museum...

File this under "Nature is often brighter than we are".
Very often nature has already found a solution...it's our job to find nature's way...
Fireflies Inspire Brighter LEDs | DiscoverMagazine.com By mimicking the design of a firefly's light-emitting organ, researchers built an LED that shines 55 percent brighter.
Many, by now, know the differences in color temperatures of lamps(bulbs) even if they don't fully understand the terminology. But there's a new term coming and, judging by all the attention being given to it at ...you'll be seeing a lot of it.
The term is CRI...it stands for Color Rendering Index and it's a measure of how well a lamp makes colors appear compared to an "ideal" source. A lot of this is being driven by a new California law which requires a CRI of at least 90 (out of 100) for use in commercial buildings. In general...cheaper LEDs have lower CRIs but it's not always the case. And...I expect the higher CRI lamps to supplant the lesser ones in short order.
The main benefit here is consistency of color...knowing when you buy something in a store that it will look the same at home. It can also have an affect on the visibility and apparent contrast of signs. I'll describe the science a little more later...for now, here is a display that had two lamps...both the same color temperature but with different CRIs. The first lamp was around 80 and the second was 93.
Heading to in Las Vegas today! More to come...
