Post Magazines question
When you are at the newsstand, are there ever magazines for lighting technology or similar industries?

Of course, being English, I just have no idea what the popular magazines, if any, are in the US..

Not really, thats more the kind of thing you may find a leaflet at a hardware store.

Not really popular enough to warrant it's own magazine. maybe a section, but that's it. Still you'd still probably need a book or magazine store. Typical news stands have newspapers and current magazines.

Perhaps. But I was thinking maybe there was a magazine for technology (which would feature lighting) or a magazine for home/garden (which would feature lighting). When I say "lighting" I don't mean light bulbs, I mean proper fixtures (spotlights etc) for lighting up exhibitions, theater, events etc.

Alternatively, there are many specialist magazines for lighting, for example mondo*arc magazine, so I just wondered if there was this type of magazine in the USA for decorative/event/DJ lighting and/or sound systems. Seen anything like that?

If there are and you already know the answer, why did you ask?

Again, they exist, but not on news stands. Thread Closed! No where else to go.

The best you'll get in a tech magazine is when something new comes along, like when remote Dimmers first came out.

I have never seen this on a newsstand alongside USA Today and People, but I found it online: http://www.professional-lighting.com/

Once in college we had a presentation of some company that makes various light solutions. They had their own magazine which they print every once in a while. They gave us a couple of them. I'm pretty sure you should be looking for something like that - a company magazine.
