These tutorials were in addition to pre-conference workshops on designing for LED luminaire reliability, intellectual property, quality of light for LEDs, and selecting drivers for LEDs.
    A new Solid-State Lighting Investor Forum for venture capitalists and investment bankers, which was added to the pre-conference schedule, debuted to a sold-out, standing-room-only audience. This afforded a unique opportunity for investors to hear presentations from 12 by-invitation-only start-up companies that represent broad sectors of the SSL space. It also included a panel discussion of leading VCs well experienced in the SSL sector. Christine Shaw, Senior Vice President of PennWells LED & Lighting Media Group including LEDs Magazine, Strategies in Light Events, and Strategies Unlimited Market Research attributed the events explosive growth due to the consistent quality of the content as well as leveraging the unique strength of the LED & Lighting Media Groups print and digital magazines, online communities, market research and related events within the LED and lighting industry. We anticipate this positive momentum to continue and look forward to our next Strategies in Light HB LED and lighting events in Japan and Europe in September 2010 as well as next years 2011 event when we return to Santa Clara.

 Sports fans who attend a West Yorkshire stadium can now view the progress of games on a newly-installed LED screen.
  Richard Alan Engineering was given a tight schedule in which it had to erect a frame to support a new
LED screen at Galpharm Stadium, Huddersfield.
  The company completed the work needed in just four weeks which allowed the screen to be unveiled on time.
  Philip Armitage, operations manager for Kirklees Stadium Development, reported that it was a challenge to construct support for the LED screen between football and rugby matches.
  Mr Armitage told the engineering company: "We had an extremely short time span in which to design, construct and install both the framework and the screen,
  "Richard Alan Engineering rose to the challenge and installed the bespoke framework on schedule, which enabled us to install the screen on time."
  The stadium seats 24,500 and in 1995 won the Royal Institute of British Architects Building of the year award.
