LEDs go residential and they’re pretty cool

Since its start nine years ago, the annual LEDucation expo has grown dramatically, as has the popularity of LEDs. The show, intended mostly for lighting and design professionals, has been a mecca for cutting-edge commercial lights such as replacements for linear fluorescents, strip lights (the kind that you’d put under kitchen cabinets), and recessed lights. As an architect who also designs light fixtures, I’ve always been a bit disappointed by the lack of decorative offerings.
