Linmore’s LifeTime LED Simplifies Maintenance and Renewal

William Attardi on May 19, 2026

Linmore’s LifeTime LED is a series of lighting fixtures featuring plug-and-play ReLuma Modules, which reduce the material, labor, and landfill costs associated with replacing whole fixtures. This renewable and sustainable solution enables fixture maintenance for the entire lifespan of a building, simplifying routine renewal and maintenance complexity. Used ReLuma modules can be repurposed or recycled, further reducing landfill waste. The fixtures’ modular design integrates LED diodes and the driver into a single removal unit, allowing the module to be replaced whenever renewal is required while the fixture remains in place. In many applications, the modules can be replaced in under a minute.

Remembering the Solemn Purpose of Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday in May to honor and mourn U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces. The holiday traces its roots to the years immediately following the American Civil War (1861–1865), which caused massive casualties—roughly 620,000 soldiers dead, about 2% of the U.S. population at the time. Communities across the North and South began spontaneously decorating the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers, wreaths, and flags, a practice that gave rise to the original name: Decoration Day. On May 5, 1868, Major General John A. Logan, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR)—a powerful Union veterans’ organization—issued General Order No. 11. This proclaimed May 30, 1868, as a nationwide “Decoration Day” to honor those who died in the Civil War. After World War I, the holiday expanded to honor all American service members who died in any war, not just the Civil War.  In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act to create more three-day weekends for federal employees. This moved Memorial Day to the last Monday in May, effective in 1971, when it was also officially named “Memorial Day.” As one 1868 quote put it: “That Nation which respects and honors its dead, shall ever be respected and honored itself.”
