Welcome to the March 2026 issue of LM&M, where we examine how lighting performance, maintainability, and real-world application are reshaping the industry.
On the cover is a 24/7 forge facility, a demanding environment that highlights the importance of durability, thermal management, and long-term reliability.
Also in this issue: Expanded coverage of the NALMCO Spring Seminar, with insights from Learning Labs on LED-to-LED conversions, lighting controls, circular economy strategies, and system performance. We explore modular lighting design with Linmore LED Labs, showing how serviceability is becoming essential in today’s labor-constrained market.
Plus, a coastal case study on balancing lighting needs with sea turtle protection, a practical guide to troubleshooting controls in The Controls Tune-Up, and an Up Close profile of Ben Grothe.
All that and more. Enjoy this issue!
