Lighting Science to highlight human-centric lighting at LightFair
Adding to the expertise in the Lighting Science booth, NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria, commander of the International Space Station Expedition 14, will be present to discuss the impact of artificial light on space missions and the value of biologically-corrected lighting to regulate sleep and increase performance.
Soraa releases SNAP System of LED lamp accessories for PAR and AR111 lamps at LightFair
Soraa will launch and display large lamp versions of its innovative SNAP System along with new accessories at LFI. With the addition of PAR30, PAR38 and AR111 LED lamps to the SNAP System line, customers now have a choice of lamps as well as accessories to tailor light in restaurant, retail, hospitality, museum, and residential applications.
AFX 12W ORA LED pendant with 3000K CCT on display at LightFair
The new ORA LED fixture features a 12-in. circular powder coated ring pendant with a matching powder coated ceiling canopy. With an integrated LED engine, the ORA pendant uses 12W of energy to deliver 900 lm with a 3000K CCT.
HessAmerica features LED wall luminaires and bollard lights at LightFair
AVANGARDO 2 luminaires accent interiors and outdoor areas with simple architectural styling and crisp LED illumination. Suitable applications include buildings, exterior pathways, and outdoor patios found on corporate campuses, universities, malls, and venues for retail, hospitality, and entertainment.
Aeon Lighting will feature ATLED Uniqube square downlight at LightFair

Solatube International to preview SkyVault Collector tubular daylighting device at LightFair
The Solatube SkyVault Collector captures significantly more daylight than traditional skylights without heating the building interior. It maximizes daylight delivery by capturing and redirecting low-angle light downward into the system and minimizes solar heat gain by preventing heat-carrying infrared rays from entering the system.
