1. Lighting Equipment Shipments
Improved during the Fourth Quarter of 2012 - NEMA’s Lighting Systems
Index increased in the fourth quarter of 2012 after a decline in the third
quarter, growing 1.9 percent on a quarter-to-quarter basis and by 3.3 percent
on a year-over-year basis. Lighting equipment demand has struggled to gain
traction since the recovery began and remains well below the levels observed
during the previous economic expansion. http://www.nema.org/News/Pages/Lighting-Equipment-Shipments-Improved-during-the-Fourth-Quarter-of-2012.aspx

LED
Lighting to Grow 40% in 2013, Philips Executive Says - Royal Philips Electronics NV LED
business will grow about 40
percent this year, Greg Sebasky, chief executive officer of it North America
unit, said today in an interview. The company sees a “growth tipping point”
with the debut this year of its 60-watt equivalent LED light bulb that will
retail for about $10, Sebasky said. That will help the energy-efficient
technology make up about 50 percent of Philips’ lighting sales by 2015, up from
25 percent last year, he said. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-04/led-lighting-to-grow-40-in-2013-philips-executive-says.html

Bay Bridge Light Display Dazzles
San Francisco - Thousands of people crowded the
waterfront and connected online to watch Tuesday's 3/5 formal debut of
"The Bay Lights," the massive 25,000-light display on the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The 1.8-mile long, 500-foot-tall piece—billed
as the "world's largest LED light sculpture"—will glimmer nightly
until 2015. The project is the brainchild of Ben Davis, chairman of the
nonprofit group Illuminate the Arts. Davis admitted a fondness for San
Francisco's often-overlooked bridge—which opened six months earlier than its
famous sister, the Golden Gate—and said the span's 75th anniversary provided
a good opportunity to do something special. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2013/03/bay-bridge-light-display-dazzles-san-francisco-.html
