If anyone thought LED lighting was going to be a short-lived phenomenon, the recent Lightfair International trade show in New York City should have convinced them otherwise. LEDs were everywhere, and more importantly the LED fixtures on display showed a new level of maturity, Writes Tim Whitaker. ![]()

Alternating each year with Las Vegas, the New York venue draws the local lighting design community and makes for an impressive and High-profile show.
