Recently, new lights were installed in the Brooks Center’s Wood Engineering Lab! They’ve switched from high-pressure sodium lights to more sustainable LED type lighting. There are many benefits with this change-over, including better photo taking opportunities! Take a look at these before and after pictures – Mary Paz Alvarez conducted her research last year, on the MTS equipment, in the yellow sodium lights, while Jordan Wells and Cameron Fischi worked in the lab, on the same testing machine, last week with the new, bright, white LED lighting!
