Thank you to those that joined us for the Lighting as a Conduit for Technological Disruption session we held with Andrew Orkin from Coolon LED Lighting! 

**A Special Thank You**​​

We’d like to thank Andrew for presenting the informative and thought-provoking session, shining a light (quite literally) on the incredible potential hidden in everyday infrastructure.

**Event Recap and Key Takeaways**

Industrial lighting is no longer just about illumination, it's becoming the digital backbone of connected, intelligent sites by delivering real-time insights, automation, and operational efficiency without the need for new cabling or downtime.

In today's session Andrew covered:

- How lighting systems are evolving into self-forming wireless networks capable of supporting IoT connectivity.​

- Real-world examples of asset tracking, machine monitoring, and hazard response enabled through lighting infrastructure.​
- Why the most powerful digital transformation may already be installed above your head.​
