Lighting Notes

From the Desk of your Section President

Greetings Capital Section Members:

Welcome to the Illuminating Engineering Society District of Columbia Capital Section. The Officers and Board of Managers have been planning for the upcoming year and things are evolving. Feel free to contact any of the officers or board of managers with your topics of lighting interest as we fill out the calendar of events.

Illumination Awards opens on January 12th. Christine Brazill is our IA Chair this year, you can contact her via email, ChristineB @ Pegroup.net. So get those images in order and start the write-ups, it is time to get some recognition for those projects that took the time and effort to make it right. We look forward to featuring your stellar projects!

In February we have a Tabletop Sponsored Meeting on New Lighting Technologies. Our speakers, Eric Haugard from Ruud Lighting and Randy Reid from Luxim Lighting will be discussing the New Technologies for LED's and Light Emitting Plasma Lighting. This will be a very informtive meeting and you will be able to see what's new - before Lightfair!

In March we are planning another visit to the NIST Laboratories. If you missed the tour a couple of years ago, here is your opportunity to see where and how these new technologies are tested.

Check back for further information on April and the annual Awards Event.

Happy 2012, may it be more prosperous for us all!
