Members of the Optical Society of America and other subscribers to ‘Optics and Photonics News’ Magazine (print and online editions) should look for a feature written by our own Carissa Say (Applications Engineering) and Richard Young (Vice-President of Science and Technology) on The New CIE 127 Standard for LED Measurement in this month’s issue. Recently, the CIE has published an updated version of its lighting measurement standard, CIE 127 which refines the technique for measuring total radiant flux and introduces a concept called partial LED flux. It’s a very a very worthwhile read and just might help you avoid a costly mistake!

We are now admidst the busy storm season in Florida, which will last until November. Did you know that Tampa, FL, only an hour or two from our offices, is known as the lightning capital of the United States? As with the weather, there are constant warnings regarding current economic situations. It is my belief that in both cases, there is room not only for caution but also for opportunity. One needs to be prepared, watch the signs and indicators, and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. And like stormy weather, turbulent periods in our economy also come to an end. With the return of optomism to the market, those preparations soon bear fruit. I urge you to take the time to learn about our exciting new products, and plan ahead for the coming year.
- “The Chinese use two brush stroke to write the word “crisis.” One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, beware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity”. John F. Kennedy
