Lighting is changing rapidly, with new light sources emerging in the market and traditional sources changing to become more efficient. Join us to learn about lighting technology, from improvements to the incandescent lamps we have known to the newest LED lamps. Learn which lamps are being phased out and what replacements will be available, or just come to learn more about the future of lighting.

This class is held in conjunction with the Illuminating Engineering Society. There is no charge for this presentation.
