Heard at the Street and Area Lighting Conference; John Bono to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award

Over the weekend your humble editor attended the IES SALC Winter meeting in Phoenix.  Of the various meetings I attend, SALC is one of the best run.  Ed Smalley of Seattle City Light is the chairman. Here is what we learned:

  • Rick Kauffman conducted an informative presentaion on the Mesopic Effect of Lighting.  I have participated in a few of these presentations, but Rick’s talk was easy to follow.  He also discussed TM-12.
  • John Bono will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Conference.
  • Conference to be held 8-11 SEP 2013 at the Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Hotel.  It is a wonderful hotel and will be perfect for the SALC.  You’ll want to make your reservations early.
  • We saw a preliminary agenda and a spectacular conference is planned.  I attended the meeting as a member, not as a reporter, so I cannot discuss what the committee is working on until it is public.   The agenda should be firmed up within the next month or two.
