The California Lighting Technology Center at ٺƵ has developed new ‘smart’ lighting that gives parking areas better light with less energy. The lights use efficient LED lights and motion sensors. On Tuesday, Michael Siminovitch, director of the lighting technology center and a professor in the design program, demonstrated how the new lights switch from low power to high when they sense that someone is walking or driving nearby.
