UK - After some 34 years in the lighting controls industry, David H Kerr will be retiring from Polaron Controls at the end of May. Kerr began his career with Electrosonic and over a tenure of some 20 years led the company into being a world leader in lighting controls and architectural dimming systems. During that time he was credited with instigating the global standard of 'Scene Setting', which is now in use in most lighting controls applications in Architectural and Residential buildings around the world.

Kerr is also credited with founding Dynalite Ltd in the UK in 1993, which went onto be the brand leader in the UK with projects such as Bluewater, Windsor Castle and Millennium Dome. In 2001, Kerr was the driving force behind the launch of the iLight Group, which embraced the Zero 88 Lighting and iLight brands.

Due to health and family considerations, Kerr sold the iLight Group to Polaron Plc in August 2004, and was retained as a consultant to the group. He now intends to write a book about his experiences in the world of lighting controls and to focus his energy into his passion for sailing, with a three-year circumnavigation commencing from Dartmouth in June 2007.
