2. Lilac City accident topples streetlight, causes injury
A downtown Spokane, Washington streetlight fell onto the pavement late Monday in a two-car crash that sent one person to a hospital. A Volkswagen Bug crashed into the streetlight along Monroe Street.
3. "You can see every chisel mark"
CNN reports on how lighting has positively impacted an iconic Michelangelo sculpture. “The color of the light changes imperceptibly during the day, while the spotlights are of varying warmth, allowing visitors to get a new perspective with every step around the statue.”
4. Light + Building 2024 Date: No schedule conflict this time
With numerous trade show dates being moved, postponed and cancelled during recent years, some North American lighting people were disappointed that the world’s largest lighting trade show, Light + Building, had – at various points in time – scheduled date conflicts with two popular U.S. lighting events, LEDucation and IALD Enlighten Americas.
As Light + Building wrapped up earlier this month, the new 2024 dates were announced and appear to be free and clear of any major schedule conflicts:
Light + Building, Frankfurt, Germany
March 3-8, 2024
LEDucation 2024, New York
March 19 - 20, 2024
