We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Lighting Systems",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Recorder tracks down power problems from
Fluke (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "The Fluke VR1710 can help users pinpoint the root causes of voltage problems by recording data specified by a user-selected average period on voltage trends, dropouts and power quality
parameters".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release LED lights are easy to apply on the rails from
CML Innovative Technologies: "LED lighting units can cope easily with extreme temperatures and are highly suited to impact resistance and vibrations, making them ideal for railway applications".
In August 2007, we covered the news from UK Industrial Vision Association
- take a look at Free seminars host machine vision discussion
which says: "Industrial seminars will be given by UKIVA members Alrad Imaging , Firstsight Vision , FLIR Systems, Framos Electronics, Multipix Imaging and MVD".
Take a look also at the news release from Echelon, McDonalds chooses networking technology,
as well as Waterproof probes illuminate cavities from Moritex Europe,
and High-power LED lamp lights machinery from Waldmann Lighting.
