Field Trip


On Thursday, October 6th, Tina's Materials and Methods class took a field trip to R.L. Vanstory Lighting Company. There we met with a couple of lighting specialists that discussed and showcased many lamps that are in the competitive market today. I learned lots of valuable information about a variety of lighting sources and types of bulbs like the ever so known fluorescents and the new technology of the competing LEDS. Perhaps what I found most interesting from the lecture was the information on LEDS, and more specifically the VT Led. The company had on display several types of these products, and I found them much more visually pleasing than the standard ceiling mounted square fluorescent lights. I enjoyed the covering used to inclose the LEDs and I appreciated the even diffuse of light. I would definitely specify this source of lighting in a designed space in the future.
