History

Born in London in 1914, at the outbreak of World War I, Strand was famous for his lighting in the 1920s, pioneered controls in the 1930s, grew internationally in the 1940s and moved into television lighting in the 1950s. By the 1970s, Strand was making great leaps in technology, moving to automation and rewriting the rules for consoles, while the 1980s saw major advances in regulation and controls. The computer revolution of the 1990s saw rapid technological growth. Strand created its first digital consoles and software-based control systems, direct descendants of those that control today’s highly evolved, energy-efficient LED luminaires.
