Welcome to the Focus On LEDs in Lighting newsletter by LEDs Magazine for April 28, 2022. Despite the "LEDs" moniker, we recognize the value natural daylight brings to interior projects. The key is to balance the light entering and shifting during different parts of the day with thoughtful placement of supplemental LED luminaires and — even better — carefully considered controls that manage energy consumption and occupant experience for comfort, visual acuity, and wellbeing. Editorial director Wanda Lau profiled several such projects in our April/May issue, along with design tips for harmonizing daylight and electric light.

Also in this issue:

- A lighting heavyweight describes important steps for a mercury-free transition through policy and industry collaboration.

- Business leaders say supply-chain difficulties have required strategic cost-offsetting measures.

- Recent chip-on-board LED releases up the color quality and efficacy for optimal performance in demanding applications such as retail and hospitality, where quality of experience can greatly impact business.
