This event is all about ensuring a positive LED lighting user experience

PlugFests are a mainstay of high tech industries, and Lighting PlugFest at Control This! is destined to revolutionize the way lighting practitioners and OEM vendors of LED lamps, fixtures, transformers, and dimmers test the interoperability between products from different manufacturers and accelerate the growth of the entire industry," said Control This! 2012 Co-Chair Meg Smith, LC, IES, LED high bay light, co-chair of the IESNYC education committee, and senior project manager, Philips Lighting Solutions and Services. "This is a 'must attend' industry event."

Soraa will manage and run the testing using a custom-built testing panel comprised of an array of commonly used transformers and dimmers and Soraa's 12VAC LED MR16 lamps and also accommodates participating companies' transformers, dimmers, and 12VAC LED lamps or fixtures.

"Manufacturers benefit because Lighting PlugFest addresses compatibility--an obstacle to widespread LED lamp adoption; designers benefit because they can specify with confidence; and end users benefit because they will know that product combinations work," said Eric Kim, CEO of Soraa. "This event is all about ensuring a positive LED lighting user experience."
