Shifting Spectra–How Brands can Navigate the LED Lighting Revolution

A brand’s color can be reproduced perfectly, but all bets are off when that brand color reaches the retail store. The influences of changing spectrums in LED lighting impact the brand color for end-consumers, retailers, and merchandizers. This session will explore the drivers and decision-makers behind those changes, how they impact brands, and what brand managers can do to incorporate these changes into their workflows, supply chains, and decision processes. Learn all about how to integrate workflows with different lighting conditions and the impact that new LED standards will have on your brand’s color!
