RETAIL: BULGARI
Jade Jewel in Shanghai
When one of the most luxurious jewelry brands on the planet, Bulgari, chose to open a new 3,000-sq.-ft. store in Shanghai, one of the most fashion-conscious cities in the world, people expected a stunning retail result. What they may not have foreseen, was how eco-conscious the store’s exterior would be as well.
Designed by MVRDV, the store’s façade became a statement piece, taking on a jewel-like quality that resembles Jade, one of China’s most precious stones. Although the material appears to have great value, it is, in fact, trash, or it would have been. The green panels are made from compressed recycled sintered green glass, a unique material effect that creates a translucent finish.
“The glass is completely recycled, produced at the Magna factory in Teutschenthal, Germany, which specializes in glass treatment and developed the chemical process that gives the Bulgari façade its jade look,” said project architect Jacob van Rijs, founding partner of MVRDV.
The layered panels form an Art-Deco-inspired pattern enhanced with gold-colored brass trim. The LED backlight, provided by LUCE5, was specially engineered to minimize the façade’s energy footprint, while creating a stunning glow that highlights the unique textural quality of the glass.
“The project demonstrates the potential of recycled materials, even in luxury context, with integrated energy-efficient LED lighting, that advances MVRDV and Bulgari’s goal of store designs that are built using 100% circular economy materials,” said van Rijs. “Here is an example, that given the right treatment and detailing, leftover champagne and beer bottles, which would otherwise be thrown away, become a glowing jewel for the city.”•

LIGHTING TWO-DIMENSIONAL AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL STORES
Lighting designer Archit Jain makes interiors and products communicate online and in-store.

“E-commerce is booming, but physical stores remain important. Forward-thinking companies have been using their stores to educate consumers, reinforce their brands’ positioning and support e-commerce sales,” said Archit Jain, principal and partner of Oculus Light Studio. Creating interior environments that are social media-ready and fl attering are two cornerstones to achieving success in this dual in-person/online retail strategy—and both require special consideration where the lighting is concerned. Jain is exceptionally well-versed in what retailers want. His award-winning architectural lighting design fi rm has completed several impressive retail projects including the AT&T Store of the Future, and fl agship locations for both Nike and Athletic Propulsion Labs in Tokyo and Los Angeles, respectively. Retail clients are putting high priority on the “Instagrammable Moment.” This phenomenon connects consumers’ digital and physical worlds and enables retailers a greater reach than their carefully honed marketing plans could imagine. According to a VidMob study, The State of Social Video, “25% of Gen Z and millennials actively seek videos of products and services they may buy.” But creating an Instagram-worthy moment is no small task. It requires both a beautiful setting that will translate when snapped and an event that inspires the customer to capture it in the fi rst place. Lighting can certainly help set the mood. “In all cases, the lighting has to be soft and fl attering for selfi es that the guests are taking in the store environment. In some instances, we have recommended backlit fabric ceilings and wall surfaces which provide that kind of light,” said Jain. “Coupled with picturesque backgrounds that are illuminated with ambient light or accent light, the in-store moments are shared on social media, increasing hype and online discussions.” The lighting in dressing rooms is also critical in creating a comfortable and positive in-person shopping experience. “The lighting in any fi tting room needs to be soft and minimize any harsh shadows,” Jain said. “Verticals on either side of the mirror (think of versions of green room mirror marquee lights) work the best. Fully illuminated globe-like luminaires, located close the mirror also provide soft light.” Downlights, as the only source, are not recommended. Retailers understand the longer a customer remains in a store, the longer they continue to shop and add to their purchases. Including restaurants and cafes have long been a tradition in department and specialty retail stores. “The F&B (food and beverage) spaces are hospitality spaces and depending on the character of the space may be designed as fi ne dining or fast-food locations,” Jain points out. “The lighting design is complementary to the function of the space. If the locations are multi-functional, they may have fl exible lighting systems, for instance, color changing or moving lights for events and fi xed or adjustable architectural lighting for everyday use,” he added. Here is a quick look at the way that Jain and his team brought lighting into some of retail’s greatest brickand-mortar stores.

DESIGNING A RETAIL SPACE
Archit Jain, principal and partner of Oculus Light Studio, shares key rules his firm follows when designing a retail space:
ATHLETIC PROPULSION LABS
Location: Los Angeles
For APL’s retail flagship store at The Grove, Bernard Dubois Architects created an interior where examples of the footwear line were displayed as if they were in an art gallery. Square display enclosures recessed into the wall are outlined with light to create a visual rhythm with the products. Overall illumination is provided by di used backlit surfaces and concealed integral niche lighting without the use of spotlights.
FINISH LINE
Location: Chicago
The lighting design for the prototype Finish Line store in Chicago was inspired by racing lanes. Oculus interpreted the outlined spaces directing competitive athletes to their goal at race’s end with narrow LED pendants in contrast to the dark-painted ceiling. Floor and wall displays are illuminated by track heads fitted with LEDs. Architects were CallisonRTKL.
NIKE ABC-MART GRAND STAGE
Location: Tokyo
The glowing transparent grid glass façade of Nike’s Tokyo flagship is a major street presence. CallisonRTKL and Oculus worked to dramatize the store to appeal to young, style-driven customers, showing a variety of athleticspecialty brands and innovative products. Assuming architectural importance is a ceiling-hung spray of extended, whiteenclosed strip LEDs that fan out over the main ground-level sales space. Track lights call attention to the multi-shelf built-in display cases presenting footwear and rod-hung apparel.

AT&T STORE OF THE FUTURE
Location: San Francisco
In Union Square, the AT&T Store of the Future is located in a building of the past. Constructed in 1921, the building was restored by CallisonRTKL architects, with lighting by Oculus, to create fl exible display locations. A custom chandelier based on AT&T’s logo is the focal feature in the doublestory atrium. Existing HID downlights were replaced with 3000K, 4,000 lm. LED versions, located in fi ll-in panels, illuminating the area below to 50fc. Under the mezzanine, 3500K 80+CRI linear recessed LED fi xtures provide ambient light, while 2700K 90+CRI multi-head LED accents draw attention to tech products and accessories and bring out the warm exposed wood surfaces. Decorative pendants are illuminated by 85+ CRI LEDs.

With the convenience and unparalleled product selection available to online shoppers, companies are rethinking their approach to retail, seeking ways they can entice customers to visit their physical stores.
By Vilma Barr, contributing editor
This repurposing is causing a shift in retail store design and the way lighting is used in these spaces is changing. The approach once well-executed by major department stores—where merchandising displays drove buying decisions—is being replaced by retailing that reflects consumer lifestyles, interaction, a feeling of community and visually stimulating environments. The three stores featured here each demonstrate this shift to solution-based lighting. ThirdLove, a Direct-to-Consumer disruptor in the lingerie industry, has adapted a salon image for their pop-up shop and sought to use lighting that would flatter customers in the fitting rooms. In Shanghai, the By Experimental Store was specifically designed to appeal to the sensibilities of Gen Z. In Target stores around the country, illuminated elements are being used to define a special Ulta Beauty shop-in-shop area designed to elevate the beauty buying experience.
BY EXPERIMENTAL STORE, SHANGHAI, CHINA
A lesson in melding retail and art, the experiential space—part retail, part art gallery—can display menswear one day, and then change it out completely to exhibit pop art, such as collectible Be@rbrick figurines, seen here, the very next day.

Illumination that Connects to Gen Z Sensibilities
When the design firm, Spacemen, was awarded the contract to design the By Experimental Store in Shanghai’s Soho Fusing Plaza, lead designer Edward Tan knew it was a good fit. “We welcome opportunities to transform brand ideologies into one-of-a-kind spatial experiences that tell stories.” Their challenge for the 8,800-sq.-ft. store was to create a space that would be constantly shifting and evolving, part retail, part gallery. By is targeted directly at Gen Z, which refers to people born between 1997 and 2012. “The owners understood the culture their audience wanted to be associated with, and the job for us was to create a store to match,” said Tan. China’s Gen Z consumers have cultivated unique consumption habits, which create opportunities for new start-ups. Recent estimates identify this group as accounting for 27% of the Chinese population. In Shanghai alone, there is a potential local urban market of approximately two million Gen Zs. Tan and his team researched the psychology of Gen Z. “They want something that is different from the previous generations and also want something that is an expression of their values,” he said. “Creating a community is all-important. People get together within shops and want to find venues where they feel comfortable. Exhibitions are already a core driver. In this new aggregation format, retail is one part of the business to attract young consumers,” explained Tan. The interior design is playful and eclectic. Spaces could be used for displaying menswear one day and on the next showing a collection of stand-alone character toy figurines. Flexibility of the lighting program was a critical factor to support the architecture and the space’s dual role as trend product merchandiser and art display environment. Triangular tiles in the flooring details are echoed in the overhead lighting. The triangular

shape is repeated by a floating, illuminated Barrisol-covered frame. Black display risers are outlined with light, while above, the same units are fitted with a rim of small luminaries. Angled freestanding footwear and accessories display units are backlit. Suspended strip fixtures illuminate floor-mounted reflective displays and rack-hung garments. A single chandelier hangs in the bar area. In a post authored by Tan, and published on Retail Design Blog, he describes the experimental space in this way. “The chameleon-like angular display alcove that seemingly disappears as it is camouflaged by reflections of its surroundings and an ever-changing installation of 600 recycled pallets anchor the space. Deconstructed fitting rooms have light installations inside and mirrors on the outside to encourage the selfie generation to capture the perfect outfit-of-the-day (OOTD) snaps while they are changing.”

Defining New Spaces Within a Superstore
STEP RIGHT UP
Ulta Beauty’s signature orange pop canopies with integrated lighting were a key design element used to help distinguish the area as a special beauty area.
The retail powerhouses Ulta Beauty and Target have combined their vast knowledge of beauty and merchandising to offer customers next-level, in-store beauty merchandising. “Our collective brands and expertise will raise the bar for the beauty shopping experience,” said Cassandra Jones, Target’s vice president of beauty. The result of this collaborative venture will be a 1,000-sq.-ft. island, inside 100 Target stores, that represent a creative and updated version of the traditional “shop-in-shop” concept. The goal was to make guests feel truly immersed in the worlds of both Target and Ulta Beauty. Design of this ultimate beauty shopping space was a collaboration of in-house merchandising and design staffs to establish the materials and color palettes. Ulta Beauty’s signature orange pop canopies with integrated lighting are one of the key design elements being used to visually distinguish this as a special beauty area. Shielded strip LEDs are placed within the rectangular canopy slats, mounted so they are out of customer’s sight lines. Overhead is the store’s ceiling with ambient illumination from shielded surface-mounted square and strip fixtures. Jones credits Target’s “strength in visual merchandising” and lighting design expertise for establishing the section’s dynamic merchandise presentation style. The standing and hanging canopies are identifiable from distances throughout the store to pique interest and invite shoppers into the space.
Lighting That Flatters in a Fitting Room
When the management of ThirdLove, the online lingerie retailer, sought to open a pop-up store in New York’s SoHo district, they presented architect Aida Ly Architecture and Focus Lighting with their design brief. It had four important objectives: fast-track design and construction; make it open, comfortable and inviting; create an outstanding retail store on a limited budget; and use colors and lighting to flatter the customer and the products. “Sure, we can do that,” responded Brett Andersen, partner and studio director for Focus Lighting. San Francisco-based ThirdLove had in six years become a public company with an annual sales volume approaching $95 million. Founded by former Google executive Gloria Zak, the company became a disruptor in an industry where marketing changes come few and far between. For the dressing rooms, Andersen and his team decided to concentrate on the Philips Hue line of wirelessly controlled color-changing fixtures and lamps. In their large studio space, Focus built a mock-up of a dressing room and experimented with different color output from the lamps and placement. “Many ordinary dressing rooms have a single overhead light that causes shadows and does nothing to flatter skin tones,” he points out. The performance of the Philips Hue lamps met their design intent. “These are widely available products used primarily for residential purposes, but for us they were fine, considering the constraints on the project,” Anderson explained. “We visited local stores and bought what we needed to avoid any delays in out-of-stock wholesale inventories or shipping.” In the showroom, existing track fixtures for PAR 30 and PAR 38 were used with new screwin LEDs. Unlike most retail underwear displays, with crowded shelving and free-standing tables and pedestals, sample products at ThirdLove are displayed on a single wall on hang bars. Associates use back storage to obtain selections for customer try-on. Above each fitting room, Focus adapted a
color-changing signal to bend into a boob-shaped outline. Customers in the fitting room can change the color of the fixture to signal a sales associate to assist with changing size or styles. A chandelier with a cluster of circular white opaque fixtures introduces a residential lighting feel to the waiting areas furnished with stylish chairs grouped around a low cocktail table.•

CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
IS DESIGNED TO DELIGHT AND HEAL
MEDICAL AND RESEARCH TRANSLATION BUILDING AT STONY BROOK MEDICINE AND STONY BROOK CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, Stony Brook, N.Y.
Animated LEDs in the lobby ceiling, a brilliantly colored mosaic wall, and color-changing light fi xtures in the children’s patient rooms are just a few of the details that make the 8-story, 465,000-sq.-ft., Medical and Research Translation (MART) Building at Stony Brook Medicine and Stony Brook Children’s Hospital a welcoming, comfortable, and whimsical place for children to heal. Winning a global LIT Award in healthcare lighting and an Illuminating Engineering Society Illumination Award of Merit in interior lighting for this project, New York-based Cline Bettridge Bernstein (CBB) Lighting Design delivered multiple notable features on a tight budget. In lieu of a custom fi xture in the main lobby leading to the auditorium, “we chose to have simple (Winona Lighting) glass pendants and (Bruck) metal pendants creating a cascading play of light and shadows at the center of the room, to fi ll in the oval ceiling pop-up,” explains CBB Principal Francesca Bettridge, FIES, IALD, LC. “In addition, (Gotham Lighting) recessed downlights with drop glass trims are located right next to the ceiling stepping detail, echoing the central elliptical opening.”

LOBBY: Hanging Winona Lighting custom glass pendants and Bruck Titan M metal pendants, together with Gotham Lighting PDRGL recessed downlights, create a majestic entrance to the auditorium.
ANIMATED CEILING: LED fixtures on circular metal plates are connected to a DMX controller to produce an animated water effect in the MART lobby.
In the MART lobby, CBB worked with the architect Pelli Clarke & Partners to design a dynamic, water-themed ceiling. “Working within a limited budget, inexpensive fl exible LED fi xtures are mounted to circular metal plates specifi cally to create rippling water patterns,” explains CBB Associate Principal Michael Hennes, MIES, LEED AP BD+C. “We went through multiple in-house mock-ups to determine the best LED color and worked within the limited dimensions between the fi xtures and the ceiling to create the effect and pattern we wanted to achieve.” The fl exible linear LED fi xtures are mounted at different heights within the plenum to further simulate a sense of depth and movement. The LEDs are programmed by an Acuity DMX control system to produce the animated lighting feature.
Colorful Children’s Wing In the children’s lobby, visitors, staff and passersby are treated to an elaborate curved mosaic feature wall with aquatic “bubbles.” To optimally illuminate the wall, CBB specifi ed narrow beam lamps with linear spread lenses. A Starfi re surface mounted linear wall grazer with black baffl es is placed between each LED PAR20 lamp. “It is extremely important that this wall is highlighted without seeing fi xture brightness, and this fi xture did a great job,” reports CBB Senior Associate Nira Wattanachote, MIES, WELL AP. Inside the children’s patient rooms is a wonderfully popular feature: a handheld remote with DMX programmed colors, enabling the children to select and change the color of the lighting. “It gives the children and their families a sense of being in control of their environment to a certain level,” explains Wattanachote. “These rooms are visible from outside, so it becomes part of night imagery and makes the building come alive every night.”•

CREATING A NIGHT-
TIME PRESENCE THAT IS EASY TO SEE
SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE Montreal, Canada
Challenge: Create a lighting design that would transform a colossal engineering and architectural wonder into an iconic emblem of Montreal, while keeping light pollution and glare at bay.
Infl uence: The Samuel De Champlain Bridge—one of North America’s busiest pieces of infrastructure, with more than 50 million vehicles crossing it each year—is one of the most signifi cant infrastructure projects in North America. The lighting designers from Horton Lees Brogden (HLB) Lighting used illumination to craft a powerful visual identity for the bridge, while minimizing its environmental impact.
Solution: Working with the engineering team of T.Y. Lin International, and Lumenpulse on the product side, HLB specifi ed more than 5,800 Lumenbeam luminaires to create a continuous and dynamic ribbon of light along the structure’s entire length, and even up the inner faces of the cable stay tower. According to HLB, “These two elements provide Montreal with a bridge that has a night-time presence capable of both subtle and dynamic lighting scenes. With lighting content that celebrates the country of Canada, the Provence of Quebec, as well as the diversity of Montreal, the bridge’s lighting system can provide displays that are meaningful to many aspects of the community.” Light pollution and glare were also key concerns of the project team, according to Kenneth Douglas, a principal at HLB. “We wanted to make sure as much of the light as possible stayed on the structure and didn’t spill into the sky or surroundings, including the eyes of motorists.” Several extensive light pollution studies were conducted, and HLB worked directly with the manufacturer, both onsite and during mock-ups. “We ended up with the perfect balance of light on the structure, lessening the environmental RIBBON OF LIGHT: HLB Lighting specified Lumenbeam luminaires to create a ribbon of dynamic light along the structure’s entire length, and even up the cable stay tower.
impact,” said Elizabeth Johnson, Senior Associate at HLB. “Part of what helped us achieve this balance was using the Lumenpulse Linear Spread Lenses on the inner face of the tower. We wanted to make sure light stayed where it needed to be.” Limiting disruptions to the seasonal bird migration was another important consideration. Based on studies that showed that blue and green hues prove the least distracting wavelengths to migrating birds, HLB designed special scenes to help protect the creatures. The luminaires, themselves are made of architectural-grade materials and have lifetimes up to 370,000 hours (L70 at 25°C). To ensure their dependability, these fi xtures are IP66-rated, and went through vigorous factory acceptance testing before being installed. The structural vibrations facing the bridge are substantial, therefore the luminaires also had to meet the 3G ANSI C136.31 vibration standard for bridge applications. The project won an IES New York Chapter Award of Merit.•

TRANSFORMING
A BASEMENT INTO A VIBRANT WORKSPACE
WHITE COLLAR FACTORY London
Challenge: White Collar Factory may be one of London’s most pioneering new offi ce developments, but its basement was never intended to become a workspace. However, when plans to turn this underground area into a restaurant failed to materialize, the building’s architects, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM), saw an opportunity. The space, after all, had some unique features, such as a 26-ft.-fl oorto-ceiling height, which created the feeling of a grand hall. This was enough to convince AHMM principal Simon Allford that the space could become an extra studio for the practice’s growing team. There was one problem—too little daylight. Luckily, there were lighting solutions available to bring the feeling of natural light beyond the natural reach of the sun.
Solution: ERCO’s human-centric lighting system plays an important role in bringing natural variation to the workspace over the course of a day. In fact, its Atrium Double Focus pendants help support the circadian rhythm, with dimming capability, tunable white light and glare control. These can-shaped pendants bring the high ceilings into the lighting scheme, casting illumination both up and down. They are supported by Jilly track downlights in the single-story spaces, which use wide and oval beam distributions to place light directly where it is needed, increasing visual comfort in the work environment. Pantrac track lights illuminate walls to make the space feel more open. This increases the perceived brightness of rooms, since humans’ perception is stimulated more by illumination on vertical surfaces rather than by light on a horizontal plane. “It is this idea that you are not looking at holes in the ceiling, you are looking at sources of light landing on surfaces,” Allford explains.
A Flexible Work Environment The changing nature of today’s workplace, particularly in light of COVID-19, meant that fl exibility had to be built into the interior from the outset. One way AHMM achieved this, was via “Jack,” a modular system consisting of box-like plywood cassettes. The Jack system makes it possible to create meeting rooms that can be taken down and reconfi gured in a matter of hours. Here, this means that the offi ce can be adapted as the size of the team grows or shrinks. The lighting design supports this need for fl exibility. On the one hand, with the Casambi Bluetooth control system, luminaires can be easily programmed to suit new layouts. Additionally, the track downlights can be physically rearranged with ease. Each desk is also equipped with its own Lucy task light, giving employees more control over their immediate environment. “It is about personality and character,” says Allford. “You can move a wall; move a light, or you can change your light source, so people can remake their environment depending on their mood.”•

LIGHTING CONTRIBUTES
TO A UNIQUE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE
COLUMBIA DISTRIBUTING HEADQUARTERS Wilsonville, Ore.
Challenge: Illuminate a 60,000-sq.-ft. former manufacturing facility that has been adapted into a hybrid offi ce/distribution center with high, open, jet-black industrial ceilings.
Infl uence: One of the largest distributors of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, servicing more 22,000 retail customers throughout the West Coast, Columbia Distributing simply outgrew its Portland, Ore. location. Its headquarters were moved to a former manufacturing plant near the city. The company wanted to transform the space into an environment that refl ected company culture and increased employee collaboration and connectivity. LRS Architects worked with various materials and textures—contrasting the elements of wood and terracotta with metal and stone. Beer bottle glass also played a role, in recognition of Columbia’s core business. Spread over two fl oors, the offi ce features a variety of open and enclosed collaboration areas, employee-centered neighborhoods, auxiliary workspaces and open offi ce workstations. Employee break areas are a hallmark of the experience and include two pubs for after-hour activities and events.
Solution: To offset the black ceilings and dramatic, dark accent wall colors, Luminis’ Prisma PR1282 luminaires—more than 200—were selected to illuminate the hallways, corridors, stairwells and pub areas. The luminaires feature a diffused acrylic prismatic refractor. The refractor ensures comfortable, general illumination in the corridors and down to the counters and tables in the pubs. The distinct, 12-in. diameter fi xtures, provide wayfi nding for employees as they transition through the offi ce. Side struts on the fi xtures serve to defi ne the luminaires further and complement the industrial-look decor. The luminaires offer a life beyond 125,000 hours, providing effi cient, reliable lighting over the long term. Through a combination of distinctive spaces, graphics and lighting, Columbia Distributing has created a headquarters that is uniquely its own and a work environment of which its employees can be proud.•

WELCOME TO THE
ELEGANT PAST OF PHILADELPHIA
HYATT CENTRIC PHILADELPHIA HOTEL Project Philadelphia
The newly constructed, upscale lifestyle Hyatt Centric Philadelphia hotel, located in Philadelphia’s trendy Rittenhouse Square, has a sophisticated simplicity with an airy, muted palette and abundance of raw wood that references the region’s past as a lumber capital.
Challenge: Transforming a 1960s parking garage into an upscale hotel is a feat in and of itself, but the new Hyatt Centric Philadelphia’s interior infuses local history and minimalist design. Inspired by the area’s Shaker community, which preferred a simple, clean aesthetic, the predominantly wood interior is beautifully fi nished and exhibits restrained elegance through muted tones and handcrafted details. Creating a design that expressed a boutique feel while remaining affordable was another aspect of the project. “In hospitality, we are trying to create something that’s unique and different, full of memorable visual moments, while also balancing a

budget,” says A. Pomme Lee, LEED AP, project manager, The Lighting Practice.
Infl uence: Working closely with interior designer CRÈME Architecture and Design and project architect DAS Architects, the Lighting Practice used discreet light sources—concealed in the architectural details and incorporated into millwork—to highlight the natural materials, wrought iron details and artwork on display.
Solution: Decorative pendants, suspended above seating areas, utilize LED replacement lamps providing an incandescent aesthetic with fewer maintenance concerns. The restaurant and lounge spaces feature layers of light from recessed downlights, wall sconces and tabletop task lighting. Concealed LED luminaires and tape light highlight the modern spindle staircase as it opens up into the lobby, which includes the restaurant, bar and lounge, and functions as the main casual meeting space of the hotel. The design team specifi ed a warm correlated color temperature of 2700K for all guest-facing interior light fi xtures to create comfortable and inviting environments in the open and modestly decorated hospitality spaces. Designed to LEED Silver standards, the hotel’s lighting system uses only 0.49W/sq. ft., better than the ASHRAE 90.12007 requirements. The design team also tested all LED lighting fi xtures for dimming capabilities, ensuring they met the desired low dimming levels to create an intimate atmosphere in the hotel. “On Hyatt Centric, we did our due diligence, coordinating with multiple lighting vendors to make sure the specifi ed fi xtures were appropriately priced, met performance expectations, and achieved the design vision of simple, yet elegant design,” says Lee.•

LED Light and Indoor Ornamental Plant Growth
With biophilia’s positive impact on people’s well-being, what is the effect of LED light illumination on indoor vegetation?
Have you ever noticed that indoor ornamental plants don’t last very long? Biophilic design trends have fl ooded interior spaces with greenery due to the positive impact that vegetation has been shown to have on people’s well-being and productivity, but the plants’ short life spans make it expensive to keep bringing in the green. Could LED lighting make a difference? The folks at the Zurich-based lighting design fi rm lightsphere teamed up with a Gdansk University of Technology professor to test out the biological effects of LED-specifi c wavelengths in a research paper, “LED Light Sources and Their Complex Set-Up for Visually and Biologically Effective Illumination for Ornamental Indoor Plants.” “This new research addresses a necessity in lighting design practice, in which there are no regulations and guidelines so far to help lighting designers, architects and landscape architects understand how plants can thrive indoors with LED light,” explains co-author Julia Hartmann, IALD, CLD, lightsphere principal and founder. In addition, co-author Dr. Karolina M. Zielinska-Dabkowska, IALD, IES, CIE, MSLL, assistant professor, Gdansk Faculty of Architecture and co-founder of the GUT LightLab in Poland, laments the disconnect between academia/research, lighting practice and the lighting industry. “With very little research and no established standards regarding this important topic, it is often left to individual lighting design practices to do their own research for individual projects,” she explains. So, when Hartmann and lightsphere colleague Carla Sigillo approached her with the idea of a study to help determine the optimal action spectrum of LEDs for the visually and biologically effective illumination for plants and humans, she joined as a full partner in the research. Lightsphere became interested in the subject in 2016 when asked to develop a lighting solution to optimize indoor plant growth for the Zurich Innovation Center Givaudan project. It was then that the designers discovered almost no useful information on the lighting spectrum and its impact on plant growth. “Within the project planning for Givaudan, we decided to undertake our own study of different full-spectrum LEDs used in architecture,” relates Hartmann. “The fi rst fi ndings showed that the spectral composition of the lighting plays a decisive role in how plants develop.” To further this initial research, they embarked upon this study, ultimately published in MDPI’s Sustainability journal.
The Research Because LED lighting levels for simulating the sun’s natural plantinducing growth properties are not the same as people’s circadianbased, glare-free needs, this has often torpedoed traditional attempts to grow healthy indoor gardens.

To test LEDs’ optimal action spectrum for promoting ornamental plant growth, researchers set up seven di erent models with a plant specimen, LED linear luminaire, spectrometer and camera. Exposed to di erent spectral power distribution curves, the researchers photographed the assorted samples to determine which scenarios produced the healthiest plants with the most natural appearance.
Focusing on four variables—the light spectrum, light energy intensity, timing and duration of light—the study analyzed a variety of dynamic circadian light patterns. They recorded key light properties including correlated color temperature (CCT), color rendering index (CRI), spectral power distribution (SPD), peak light wavelength, photosynthetic photon fl ux density (PPFD) and daily light integrals (DLI). The researchers were then able to determine which SPD curve— combined with duration and dimming—yielded the healthiest plants by providing the most appealing and natural look. This is essential because when ornamental plants are part of a design, their natural appearance is vital for humans to interact on a biological and psychological level.
Industry Response Judging from the fact that the paper has been viewed and downloaded more than 6,000 times, the researchers really hit a chord. “We are now seeing manufacturers publishing articles referencing our research and lighting designers writing blogs and articles that reference our publication,” reports Hartmann. “Furthermore, I was invited to talk about the topic at the international IALD Enlighten conference.” For example, lighting manufacturer Xicato performed a study, “Optimum Lighting of Plant Walls” and Erco produced a “Green Wall Lighting” white paper. “Our study defi nitely started a ball rolling and a push for manufacturers and designers to realize the complexity of the issue,” confi rms Hartmann. “However, more research and especially education is needed to advance optimal lighting and lighting solutions for ornamental plant lighting.”•

2022 Industry Predictions
With the unprecedented disruptions of the past two years, many are on the edge of their seats in anticipation of what 2022 may bring. Here are a few insights from industry insiders.
Want to know what the industry bigwigs have to say about the industry this coming year? A recent Get a Grip On Lighting podcast on “13 Lighting Predictions for 2022” with hosts Michael Colligan, Greg Ehrich LC, and Al Oszynski delve into the future of the lighting industry. From the new normals coming out of COVID to supply chain disruptions and more, this panel of professionals discusses where the market is heading and shares the predictions industry thought leaders are making for 2022.
The New Normal According to Trevor Palmer, President, Acuity Brands and Controls, supply chain challenges will continue but its the use of technology that will enable better information fl ow and product alternatives that will be critical to success. John Palk, President and CEO, SESCO Lighting, also believes that the companies that can continue to adapt to COVIDera challenges will be on the leading edge of growth and stabilization in the recovery. Unpredictability is the new normal, says Christy Tilton, Vice President, U.S. Professionals Trade Sales, Signify, intimating that the effects of the pandemic are here to stay and companies will continue to change how they do business to avoid obsolescence. Similarly, David Gordon, President, Channel Market Group, says that from an electrical distribution standpoint, expect a repeat of 2021, but brand names will outperform and take share through the channel and distribution.
New Lessons With lessons learned over the past two years, Daniel Salinas, Interim Executive Director of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), suggests the construction industry is awakening and while people will seek to reconnect one on one, there is hope in renewed growth with project start-ups. Dan Darby, Lightfair Show Director, agrees and says that the ability to experience new design innovations in person will be imperative. Françoise-Xavier Souvay, Lumenpulse founder, president and CEO, expects that as the industry moves forward, optimal innovation will be key instead of a quantitative lumen approach. The clear and fresh focus will be on the quality of light. On that same tangent, Matthew Tirschwell, founder, Tirschwell & Co. believes that manufacturers will discontinue the fabrication of LED chips that are less than 90 CRI. Dr. Mark Rea, PhD, Professor at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine, offers a stark outlook. Illumination is not where the new, exciting ideas can be found and not where investments are being made, he says. If we follow the money, there will be more soul searching among colleagues. Yet, the hope is that our knowledge, past experiences and technology can further lighting and help reimagine design. IALD President-Elect Monica Lobo says that we have the knowledge and creativity to imagine and design a new and better world. Andrea Wilkerson, researcher, Pacifi c Northwest National Laboratory, concurs as she says that there will be more opportunities to increase the appreciation of lighting technology in research, and we will all engage with new communities to learn and share our passion for lighting. Perhaps the simplest approach, Andrea Hartranft, FIALD, Principal of Hartranft Lighting Design, offers, “The sun will rise and set every day, lighting designers will continue to prove their value, sometimes noticeably, sometimes in a vacuum.”•
