Tech Forum

Tech Forum was originated as an IES Philadelphia publication in 1991 and was created in the spirit of advancing knowledge and disseminating information for the improvement of the lighted environment.

Today, Tech Forum becomes a place on the IES Philadelphia web site where our members can share the latest lighting trends concerning product technology, lighting design and application issues and relevant legislation.

We welcome you to contribute articles to Tech Forum by emailing your article to techforum@iesphl.org. The article will be reviewed by the Tech Forum committee before being posted on the Web site.
