The great positive feedback following the recent India report and the increasing volume of relevant news about LED and other lighting technologies in India have convinced me it is time to have a DVN Workshop in India. The date is set for Tuesday and Wednesday, 9 and 10 February 2016. We’ve set the timing so DVN Workshop attendees will be able to visit the auto show before the Workshop. I’m planning a scouting trip to finalise the location and other logistical details in November. This first-ever India DVN Workshop will focus on the main needs of India:
cost-optimised headlamps, and LED technology to save energy.
After workshops in Germany; France; America; Japan; China; and Korea, a workshop in India is clearly due. Even though today the average price (and technology of headlamps) there is very low, things are changing with the arrival of new technologies including LEDs. Witness the Indian Government’s launch of the world’s largest national LED lighting retrofit push—see this week’s news.
So I ask all the experts interested in giving a lecture, or elsewise participating or attending, to save the date. Watch for more information to be delivered in the coming weeks. We’re excited to continually expand the real internationality of the DVN community!
Sincerely yours
DVN Editor in Chief
