As energy saving alternatives to incandescent light bulbs, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) have become widely accepted. In addition to CFLs, other types of lighting are available that can greatly reduce the impact on our environment: LED [light emitting diode] energy saving luminaires and bulbs, Cold Cathode dimmable, energy saving light bulbs and EIFL (electrodeless induction fluorescent lighting). These and other sustainable lighting products, in addition to saving energy should strive to make a positive impact on the worker and tasks.  The use of these products in the office and work spaces will be discussed as to their particular merits with no one technology championed. Products will be on hand for demonstration purposes, giving attendees the opportunity to see and experience firsthand what the products look like and the light they produce.

Bio – With a background in electrical and electronics technology in the medical and scientific field, Don researches appropriate technologies and products for those who are intent on reducing the impact on our environment, regardless of the market or application. He is responsible for Business Development at Specialty Bulb Products Inc., a specialized lighting company in business since 1985, based in Langley, British Columbia.
