The Long Island section of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES) has announced a brand new trade show event that will be debuting on April 18.  The new show, called Long Island Control-LED, will be geared specifically to lighting technologies related to LED products and lighting controls.

Long Island Control-LED 2012 will be the largest lighting-only event this year on Long Island specifically devoted to LED product and controls.  Over two dozen companies will be prominently displaying their most innovative product and energy saving solutions that:

- Reduce energy consumption
- Reduce operating costs
- Provide labor-saving benefits
- Foster healthy, safe environments
- Enhance the quality of life experiences in the home, at work, and in public spaces
