"Our mission is to help our audience acquire the knowledge and skills they need to create and use the LED-based products that are transforming the global lighting industry. In addition to providing information on the latest technologies, products, and design practices, the site will serve as a forum where engineers and industry professionals are encouraged to interact with our industry experts and share their own knowledge with other community members."
