Welcome to LEDs Magazine’s Connected SSL & Controls newsletter for May 8, 2023. Our featured article in this issue is a bit different for us, but nonetheless intriguing. Power management in controlled environment agriculture can be tricky, says VoltServer’s James Eaves. Think about the amount of equipment that needs to be managed safely and reliably in order to run a thriving indoor growing operation. Add temperature variability, water for hydrating plants, and washdown capability to prevent crop-damaging microorganisms. Eaves explains how a centralized DC power architecture supports indoor grows, improves safety, reduces wasted energy, and minimizes the amount of electrical wiring and equipment needed to run such facilities.

Also in this issue: MHT Technologies leaders emphasize the company’s building automation expertise with its name change; Acuity looks to deliver a low-voltage DC platform for schools; and Craig DiLouie delivers key points on lighting and controls rebates for 2023.
