Let’s Talk About Light Light is a fascinating subject. One of the reasons it is so interesting is because we are still learning so much about it.
Happy reading!•
It is all fodder for important discussions about the use of light in our day-to-day world and this issue of Architectural SSL is filled with stories that keep the dialogue going. Have you heard the term ‘Human Centric Lighting’ lately? It’s one of the hottest topics in the lighting industry right now. The White Pages article, “Tuning into Human Centric Lighting,” (pg. 34) takes a deeper dive into the basic metrics now being used to describe the performance of human centric lighting and compares a few of the products now on the market that are touted as being able to reproduce that all-important range of color temperatures contained within a daily dose of daylight.
Light and lighting can have a profound impact on the identity and usability of a space. For evidence of this, look no further than the story about fast casual restaurants (pg. 20)—the megagrowth market segment that depends upon the differentiation of its space for survival. Lighting was an important consideration for each of the projects profiled here—from an interior with medieval ties to an upscale burger joint and a fast casual food court. Then there are the new products, like the Ripple luminaire captured on the cover, introduced in Advances (pg. 36). Many of these innovations fall into the category of acoustic luminaires, offering designers illumination plus a surface to help manage sound. Some of the products included here are the latest and greatest designs from the style-makers Palecek, Matthew McCormack, and Larose Guyon. Of course, it is impossible to have a discus sion about light without the stars of the lighting world—the lighting designers, architects, engineers, and lighting agents who are actively engaged in the application of lighting indoors and out. Architectural SSL sat down with lighting design innovator Randy Burkett (pg. 16), to talk about projects and professional next steps. As you can see, there’s a lot to talk about.

For straightforward lighting schemes, lighting designers typically have the wherewithal to specify and source their own solutions. But sometimes they have a creative or atypical vision and can’t find the right product to bring their design to life. This is where Chicago Lightworks, CLW, comes in. Representing more than 110 lighting product lines, the company has the latest products and technologies at its fingertips to help designers find that unicorn they’re looking for. Building and nurturing relationships with both manufacturers and lighting specifiers, the group often goes that extra mile to bring a successful project to the finish line.
THE BENEFITS OF A LIGHTING ADVOCATE: MEET CHICAGO LIGHTWORKS
For example, on a recent pair of high-profile projects for a high-profile specifier, the designer discovered some shadowing and LED diode imaging in the lens of the linear fixtures on the first project. Managing Principal Julie Blankenheim explains that her team was able to facilitate the factory changing the design flaw in the fixture for the second project and replace some of the installations on the first project.
A great example of a successful two-way street, the lighting manufacturer was very re sponsive to Chicago Lightworks’ request and the lighting designer trusted CLW to fix the situation, in lieu of pulling the product out of the second project. In a similar vein, the company can find the right person at the manufacturers they rep to help push an order through.
“With these supply chain challenges, you need to partner with your reps,” says Blankenheim. “We can help drill down to find the right people at the factories to make your project a priority, if possible, or suggest an alternative. We are truly gratified when we can save a project in the midst of the current climate.”

Fast Growing Since opening its doors in 2017, the company has rapidly grown from 19 to 54 people, working on high-profile projects like the O’Hare Terminal 5 Extension and relighting the Willis Tower spires with Color Kinetics technology.
To stay abreast of advancements and changes in the products they represent, team members are assigned as champions for the different companies on their line card. As a successful company with many connections in the industry, CLW is approached by manufacturers asking to rep their lines on a weekly basis. But the firm agency will only take on a line that they believe they can actively and enthusiastically sell.
• Visit www chicagolightworks.com CONTINUED FROM PAGE 07
www.architecturalssl.com08 • 09.22 • ARCHITECTURAL SSL
In addition, Chicago Lightworks’ dance card is already quite full and will only consider a new manufacturer if they have a product that provides a solution that CLW customers need and that the agency doesn’t already have. If the product passes that filter, an evaluation is made regarding whether the product’s addition will enhance their line card. Finally, the lighting manufacturer is vetted to determine if they are a company Chicago Lightworks is interested in working with and if they will be a true partner.
For O’Hare’s T5 extension, more than 300,000 sq. ft. of new space was added. The gently raised ceiling creates a signature vaulted space that welcomes natural light and offers views across the airfield toward the Chicago skyline. Lighting design firm Schuler Shook worked closely with the design team at HOK and Muller and Muller to design a timeless, functional and clean aesthetic with small aperture downlights and hidden sources. Schuler Shook trusted Chicago Lightworks and their brands to help provide the products to achieve this. Prior to the Wills Tower spires upgrade, the process of changing out the antenna light color involved a four-hour process of manually placing color filters over every light on the 109th and 110th floors. The Willis Tower spires, which are actually HD TV antennas, are 294 ft., 5 in. and 290 ft., 7 in. in height with 12in.-diameter cylindrical bases. With the Color Kinetics’ fixtures, there are now 102 individually adjustable optics mounted on the 109th and 110th floor roofs. The lighting can easily be controlled wirelessly via the Willis website with a smart phone or tablet, or by computer on “Drivingsite.east on Interstate 290, the Willis Tower appears in the middle of your view. At night, the spires are lit and you can see them from miles away,” relates Blankenheim. “To know that our team played a part in that lighting experience—and in connecting people to the bigger picture of Chicago and how people experience light—is extremely gratifying.”
How did the city of Manchester communicate its desire for cleaner energy? They created a pristine white Tower of Light and a Wall of Energy with an inspired team of designers and technical artists led by London-based architectural firm Tonkin Liu. In function, the tower is a 131-ft-tall chimney for the power station that provides more sus tainable heat and power to several of the city’s landmarks—town hall, central library, convention centre, and others. The exterior form of the tower demonstrates a “shell lace structure”, which makes a building as strong as possible with minimum materials—the basic tenant of sustainable design. Integrated LED lights, programmed in collaboration with lighting specialist SEAM Design, change the appearance of the tower every 15 minutes creating Manchester’s eye-catching statement for sustainability.

WHEN THE LIGHTS GO ON AT LAMBEAU FIELD www.architecturalssl.com12 • 09.22 • ARCHITECTURAL SSL
Yikes. What then? When the Lambeau facilities team evaluated this primary system for repair, they discovered that the product, which had neared the end of its lifecycle, had been sunsetted by its manufacturer. This meant that repair components were no longer available, and the team needed a wholesale replacement of the Lookingsystem.first for inspiration to the other systems they had on-site, the facilities team realized many of those were failing as well. The decision to standardize on a single control system flowed logically from there. What were some of the features and functionalities that were
The Challenge: Much has changed at home games for the NFL’s storied Green Bay Packers since the team first kicked off in 1919—they no longer dress at a nearby high school, for instance. Instead, Wisconsin’s proud pro-football franchise plays at Lambeau Field. The stadium’s capacity—approxi mately 80,000—has more than doubled since the team began occupying the hallowed gridiron back in 1957. More than likely, most Packers fans—also known as “Cheeseheads”—are hyper-focused on the players and their on-field exploits and not the stadium’s lighting system, but for the people who work at Crestron Electronics, the lights at Lambeau Field are seri ous business. Bill Schafer is one such person. Crestron’s Executive Vice Presi dent, Commercial Lighting was kind enough to take time from his busy schedule and converse with Architectural SSL magazine about how the company helped get the Green Bay Packers ready for some football.
What was the issue at Lambeau when the team called Crestron?
To keep up with the times, Lambeau began a series of renovations, starting in 2001, that left its facilities team to contend with over a dozen separate lighting control systems from different manufacturers that were not fully integrated. On game days, this meant the facilities teams were responsible for navigating nearly 10 miles of combined steps across over 2 million sq. ft. of stadium space just to turn on all the lights, which, of course, needed to be turned off afterwards as well. This already tiresome exercise became even more complex as the stadium’s primary control system began to fail.

The Lambeau team was looking for a new lighting system that covered a few key priorities: future-proofing, security, interoperability, and scalability. What was delivered? Crestron delivered a system that satisfied each of these conditions; The system is standards-based, so if the product sunsets or the manufacturer goes under, replacement components will be easy to find and administer.Anopenprotocol
The system is able to integrate all across the stadium, including into AV control room systems, so that after touchdowns or other significant events the facilities team can sync lighting scenes in the seating bowl with lighting elsewhere in the stadium. Flexibility for future growth was a final mandate. The overhaul of existing lighting control was only Phase 1 of Lambeau’s plan; the team needed lighting control to scale alongside future renovations, too.
The single, unified system has unlocked savings in time, energy consumption, and cost of owner ship. Stadiums that standardize on a single system have also recouped considerable energy consumption costs, as lights are now in use only for the exact amount of time they need to be. How much has Lambeau saved since the installation of the new system? Though Lambeau is still gathering a full year’s worth of data to pin down their true savings relative to past years, a comparable stadium, Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena— home of the Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings—shaved nearly 20% off their annual energy cost when they switched from a dispa rate matrix of systems to a single solution. A switch to more efficient LED bulbs accounts for a share of these savings, but that’s just further proof the more you look at stadium commercial lighting, the more areas for improvement you will find. Does the fan experience improve?
14 • 09.22 • ARCHITECTURAL SSL
How does the facility and its staff benefit from the system?
According to a Deloitte study on stadium experience, fans have four core experiential concerns: a safe, comfortable and clean environment, a satisfactory view from their seat, a high-quality game, and an exciting stadium atmosphere.Whilegameplay is the respon sibility of the teams themselves, the remaining three concerns are far more dependent on the facili ties team. Onboarding Lambeau’s commercial lighting onto a single system should help the facilities WHEN IT IS TIME TO TURN OUT THE LIGHTS, THE FACILITIES TEAM NO LONGER NEEDS TO NAVIGATE NEARLY 10 MILES OF COMBINED STEPS ACROSS THE STADIUM’S SPACE TO DO SO.

team improve on each of these three fronts. How so? Instead of assigning two unlucky team members the job of traversing the concourse to turn on the stadium’s lighting, facilities managers can simply press a few buttons on a single panel to engage a building-wide lighting scene. Released from their miles-long lighting control traipse, staff can focus on improving other elements of fans’ four core concerns. A welllit space always makes spectators feel safer and is easier to keep clean. Although commercial light ing will not have much impact on gameplay, the fans’ process of getting to those seats is improved through better lighting. Dynamic lighting control in stadium concession areas, bars, and pro shop spaces improve fan experience as well—and can drive additional retail spending.

Lighting designer Randy Burkett shares insights from some of his latest and greatest projects and looks into the future of RBLD.
What’s Next for RBLD? Introducing RBLD “I’ve been considering how to transition over the next few years,” says Burkett. In July, Randy Burkett and Lisa Reed of Envision Lighting Design announced the merger of their two St. Louis-based firms into ReedBurkett Lighting Design. The new firm is certified as a Women Business Enterprise in Missouri and Illinois and has similar national certifications. The merged team includes LEED and WELL accredited professionals. “With environmentally responsible design as a pillar of our team, the merger means a combined portfolio of design expertise,” states Randy. Projects on the boards: Tower of the Americas, San Antonio; National Ornamental Metals Museum, Memphis; Powell Symphony Hall Expansion, St. Louis; 1000 M, Chicago; Cathedral Basilica interior lighting, St. Louis.

FISHER CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS Belmont University, Nashville, Tenn. In September 2021, the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Belmont University in Nashville opened to resounding applause. Designed by the architectural team at ESa, led by David Minnigan, the building was fashioned after a traditional European opera house but is considered to be one of the best performing arts centers on a university campus. The lighting design, provided by RBLD, 5' 0" 9"0'
LIGHTING A CONCERT HALL also successfully balanced the traditional aesthetic with the top-tier performance expectations. For proof, look no further than the lobby, where three stunning chandeliers, constructed by Crenshaw Lighting, are both classic in profile to blend with the Corinthian capitals and contemporary in their overall effect.
Randy Burkett is a charter member of the group of North American lighting design innovators who initiated their careers in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Over the last 33 years, he has grown Randy Burkett Lighting Design (RBLD) into a major specialty lighting consulting practice based in St. Louis. His incredibly diverse portfolio is filled with extraordinary and distinguished projects including the world-renowned Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C. Now, he is talking with Architectural SSL about some of the latest and greatest projects he’s been involved with over his illustrious career in illumination.
These custom multi-tiered brass ring chandeliers contain decorative ele ments inspired by other architectural details found elsewhere in the building.
“I would say that this was one of the more challenging commissions we have had over the years,” says Randy, “both technically and from the perspective of needing to please such a wide range of stakeholders, including the King Foundation, National Park Service, National Capital Planning Commission, Commission of Fine Arts, and architect McKissack & McKissack, among others.
“The nighttime revelation of the face and upper body of Dr. King’s likeness was very important to the client team. The mock-ups for illuminating this work were done using a pair of personnel lifts. This allowed us to study several possible pole locations and heights, as well as the nuances of color and textures. Distributions, intensities, and glare control were all very important. David Mintz and I spent hours on the site considering every facial feature, hand wrinkle, and jacket fold as each lighting position was studied,” Randy Ultimatelyexplains.,Bega’s 77 869 large scale floodlights (150W) with narrow beam light distribution were selected to illuminate the silhouette of Dr. King. The fixtures were mounted on two 45-ft.-tall poles, one on each side of the sculpture. Deep, custom-designed, gale control “snoots” greatly minimized stray lights and off-axis glare. In order to render the kind of facial expressions and definition of shadows that the team wanted; the lights were set at a higher perch than the statue itself.

For those who may not have had the opportunity to see this first-hand, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, located on the National Mall, features a 30-ft.-high sculpture that captures the image of Martin Luther King, Jr. emerging from a stone with a thoughtful and resolute expression. David Mintz, who was responsible for the lighting of the Jefferson Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial, was offered the commission to light Dr. King’s memorial as well. Because he was nearing retirement, he asked Randy Burkett to team up with him to complete the project.

25W LED medium base fila ment lamps were used to best mimic a historic look. To determine exact positioning of the fixtures, RBLD worked with the artists who designed and provided the full-height arch-top windows. The faceted glass creates color reflections during the daytime. The choice of the faux filament LED sources also created nighttime refractive effects when the glass is viewed from outdoors by passersby. The contemporary ceil ing of the Fisher Center lobby stands in contrast to the classic grandeur designed throughout the rest of the building. The ceiling surface was constructed from a 40-mm BHASWA Phon plaster sys tem with a post-consumer marble finish that manages sound. Measuring approxi mately 40 ft. × 75 ft., with curved side wall returns, the clean, crisp lines in the ceiling were part of the architect’s vision for the volume. Linear, soft-faced LED sources, 3000K, with a 0-10V control system were integrated into the acousti cal surface too. “Light’s role was to emphasize the linear aspects of the coffer delineation,” says Burkett.
LIGHT’S ROLE WAS TO EMPHASIZE THE LINEAR ASPECTS OF THE COFFER DELINEATION IN THE LOBBY AT THE CONCERT HALL.
The elliptipar Style F164s from The Lighting Quotient were modified with internal cross-baffles and located within recessed troughs. The lighting shines through laminated glass panels that were mounted flush with the surrounding pavement. 3500K T5HO lamps were selected to complement both the color and scale of the granite wall panels.
The team was also tasked with illuminating the crescentshaped Inscription Wall that flanks the Stone of Hope. Mintz and RBLD prepared numerous mock-ups, both in-studio and on-site to evaluate lighting strategies. The goal of the lighting on this element was to reveal and make legible the Wall’s carved text, 14 hand-carved quotations chosen from several of Dr. King’s speeches, while creating drama and a sense of place.
The final design featured below-grade luminaires that were installed near the base of the wall at an angle, which succeeded in visually pulling the text out of the background.
“In the evening, the in-ground fixtures resemble theatrical footlights that heighten the experience of Dr. King’s words,” says Burkett. •

Fast-Casual Emphasizes Ambience
The exploding fast-casual segment of the dining market exists as an upgrade from the timefocused, fast-food experience, while stopping short of fabric napkins and fine dining. One quality helping to carve out success in these spaces—unique and appealing interiors, where lighting plays a pivotal role.

In a fast casual restaurant, the ambience must accomplish more than just looking good. These restaurants differentiate themselves by creating a real sense of place. This means making the most of the nuances that the footprint of the space may have and drawing attention to the various nooks and coves that have been designed as spots to enjoy a meal. In terms of the visual environment, with the proliferation of social media and photo-centric sites, like Instagram, the interior has to help the food visually trans late online because people are taking pictures of their main courses and posting them onto their feeds before they eat. Here is a closer look at how some fast-casual spaces are using lighting and illumination to craft a brand identity that meets the needs of a fast, casual diner.

Bun lifts the traditional fast-food burger joint to a colorful, inviting fast-casual destination that opened in September 2021. For the Brera facility, pink, purple, green and yellow fill the restaurant’s interior in color-blocked pat terns. Gold accents were selected to provide the hint of luxury that diners in this area may expect or appreciate. Other hues in the palette create both contrast and continuity in the space.
In Milan, an Italian hamburger chain, Bun Burger, had to appeal to a clientele that included patrons from the upscale Brera art and retail district and well as college students from the adja cent university. Spanish interior design studio Masquespacio gave the space a visual identity that is both mature and sophisticated and fun and vibrant. Design elements distinct to Bun’s identity are incorporated into this space, includ ing arches, elevated benches, and signature furniture pieces like round stools, tables, seating pads, and light fixtures.

for the project, The Architectural Team, (TAT) based in Chelsea, Mass., took full advantage of The Mercantile’s open plan and 16.6-ft. tall ceiling height to give the vendors their own identifiable areas, rather than simply a counter in front of the food preparation activities as is the multi-vendor format found in most interior food courts. Two local restau rants; Rufus and RoCoCo Coffee Co., adopted a fast-casual approach to the dining operations.
A Fast-Casual Food Court Once the home of the 1.1 million-sq.-ft. Sibley’s, Lindsay and Curr department store in Rochester, N.Y., a massive renovation has turned the c. 1907 building into offices, apartments, labs, retail, and a first floor food court, the Mercantile. The decade-long adaptive reuse project led by Winn Development became known as Sibley Square and is a prominent anchor for Rochester’s ongoing downtown revitalization. Touted as Rochester’s new urban eatery, the restaurants inside the Mercantile on Main are described as providing a “curated collection of some of the best food and drink this town has to offer.” Vendors offer options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour, and late-night eats, so, whatever it may be called, it certainly is not a typical foodArchitectscourt.

Idaho temple follows classic architecture, but also introduces modernity, including in the lighting. gardens spaces for moments of reflection, and there are spaces that accommodate gatherings of up to 100 people for moments of celebration. “Every planning decision we made considered how the important moments happening here could be captured in both memories and photographs. We thought about where people gather and how we frame the temple, surroundings, and moment. Everyone is looking for that beautiful family photo in front of the temple.”
Nielsen selected Ashbery area and path lights, Melville benches, and Poe litters for the site. Finding site elements that not only related to each other but also to the temple architecture was important. “It’s nice to design with a cohesive family of furnishings,” says Nielsen. “All site elements have the same aesthetic and finish and come from one manufacturer.” Ashbery’s modern take on a traditional gas lantern fit perfectly with the temple’s hybrid architecture of classic and modern form. Path lights highlight the plantings and guide people around the site. Poe litters and Melville benches, like Ashbery lights, are a modern take on a traditional style. And Nielsen’s placement of the benches offers people perfect vantage points to take in the spectacular views of the valley and sunsets.

ENGLISH CATHEDRAL SHINES BRIGHTLY ON DEMAND ELY CATHEDRAL Ely in East Cambridgeshire, England
Light Perceptions selected Pharos Architec tural Controls to provide the control of the exterior lighting system. This flexible solution allows lighting levels, colors, and playbacks to gracefully transition between scenes, timelines, effects, and pixel-mapped media. With the previous system, it was only possible to use a single color at a time, and the light source was changed manually, which was time-consuming and expensive. Equipped with this new level of lighting control technology, the Cathedral can use multiple colors and dynamic lighting to mark special occasions, such as red, white, and blue for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, or draw attention to important dates on the liturgical calendar.
Solution: As a specialist lighting consultant for historic buildings in the U.K., Light Perceptions’ assignment was to remove existing flood lighting, design flexible, controllable lighting while offering higher levels of energy efficiency, and abiding the Church of England’s regulatory system for Grade I listed buildings.
CONTROLS: A Pharos TPC (Touch Panel Controller) is now used at Ely Cathedral, a 4.3-in. touch screen with a Power-over-Ethernet connection. Pharos EXT has also been used. The fixture manufacturer is Studio Due.
Challenge: Ely Cathedral began its life as an abbey church built by St. Etheldreda in 763. The current building dates from 1083, and was raised to cathe dral status in 1109. Now, part of the Church of England, Ely Cathedral is committed to being carbon neutral by 2030. To help achieve this, the lighting is currently being upgraded to a more energy-efficient and sustainable system. “The outdated lighting was no longer fit for purpose, using high levels of energy and therefore costing far too much. The new lighting system gives the Cathedral the ability to control the lighting easily, and embrace its full potential,” said Bruce Kirk, Director of Light Perceptions. While the cathedral is primarily a place of wor ship, it is an important heritage attraction, venue for music and events, and occasional location for filming. It was key to ensure that any new lighting concept was capable of showing the architecture to its full potential, while supporting a range of uses, and enhancing daily worship. The work has been split into phases, with phase one focusing on the exterior of the Cathedral’s Octagon Tower.
“It is wonderful that the exterior of the Cathe dral can now mark occasions and events through more flexible and controllable lighting. Using the lighting to show support for the people of Ukraine was a poignant moment for us.” Circle 222
The new system will reveal more architectural detail while being less visually obtrusive.
The Very Reverend Mark Bonney, Dean of Ely, added, “The effect of the new lighting on the exterior at Ely Cathedral is superb. Not only are we reducing our energy use, the beauty of the fourteenth-century Octagon Tower is more fully revealed at night.

“The stair was very unique because it wasn’t your typical interconnecting stair, where the runs and landing were at right angles to each other; it was very much a puzzle,” Nolan recalls, noting that each level goes up, then turns at an angle. “It was really like a piece of sculpture.”
Solution: To maintain the space’s sophisticated aesthetic while navigating the stairway’s unique shapes, Nolan used linear lighting on the under side of the stair. She chose the A-Light Accolade D5, a 3.5-in.-wide linear fixture with high-perfor mance direct lighting and HE Tech lens. Making it seamless, however, wasn’t easy due to the obscure angles and because the fixtures only ship in sizes up to 12 ft. A-Light used 3D mod eling and five to six iterations of factory drawings for each floor. Each fixture was cut to precise custom lengths, with joiner hardware and aligner pins at each intersection. The final drawings showed each connection precisely, and each part was labeled for exact end-to-end matching.
SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING STAIRCASE
“I think SFO as an employer wanted to have state-of-the-art office spaces and conference spaces that would compete with any other office building,” says Nolan. “They care about the quality of the light in the spaces for the people who are working there … We specified lighting and controls that are commensurate with that.”
Challenge: Many office stairwells are hidden away, solely for function and void of form, and their staid, industrial lighting often reflects that role. That wasn’t the case at the San Francisco Airport Consolidated Administration Campus— Phase 1 where, despite its utilitarian name, light and modernity abound. The central stairway is open and sculptural, providing a visual allure as much as a means for getting from place to place. Its unique vibe required an equally unique lighting approach, one that would emulate the overall aes thetic without sacrificing safety and functionality.
“It is a very standard linear light, but it is the way we manufacture it,” explains Monica Sanchez Diaz, manager of regional applications support for the Design Assist Team at A-Light. “We create those corners and those welds to achieve things like you see in this project. There are very few limits to what you can do with it.”
One area that presented a particular challenge was a three-level stairway. Modern, angular, and airy, the space beckoned for something more than typical sconces or recessed downlights.
Influence: When you think about an office building for an airport, elegance and art may not be the first things that come to mind. But that is exactly the feeling the interior exudes, inspired in part by the fact that the airport’s accredited SFO Museum has its offices in the building. Lighting designer Janet Nolan, president of JSN+ALD in San Francisco, kept this in mind as she designed lighting throughout the project, focusing on a range of functional needs while respecting or enhancing the desired aesthetic.
A GUIDING LIGHT FIT FOR A STAIRCASE
The result looks like one continuous, unbro ken light fixture from the ground level to the top. “It enhanced the stairs’ unique shape and illuminated the stairs below,” without having to put in a lot of ceiling fixtures, Nolan says.

“In office environments, we have seen boosts in productivity, alertness, mood and nighttime sleep just from changing the lighting in the office to be biologically focused,” adds Robert Soler, vice president of biological research and technology, BIOS Lighting, San Marcos, Calif. “And in elderly care, we have seen reductions in falls and nighttime wandering by switching to circadian lighting.”
Circadian Basics
Another key metric is Equivalent Melanopic Lux (EML), which quantifies light effects on the human circadian cycle and assesses the response of the non-visual photo-receptors (ipRGCs) in the human eye.
Another metric is the melanopic daylight efficacy ratio (m-DER) which quantifies the biological effect of an artificial light source as compared to 6500K of daylight. These calibrated metrics are also used to evaluate if a building qualifies for WELL Building standard circadian lighting level“Whilecredits.these are key attributes for HCL, we cannot simply forget about everything else we’ve valued and accomplished in SSL such as Tuning into Human Centric Lighting
In addition to the science proving the boosted productivity, better night’s sleep and enhanced health benefits created by circadian lighting, Craig Casey, building science leader, Lutron Electronics, Coopersburg, Pa., states, “when the lighting is aligned with our mood and/or the task at hand, we feel more comfortable. That sense of wellbeing and comfort is what building owners and developers are looking to invest in. People want to spend time in places that make them feel good—and lighting is a big contributor to cultivating those feelings.”
To enable this advanced level of light tuning, circadian LEDs are built based on a number of key principles. Spectrally optimized LED solutions tune to 490nm, which is the peak sensitivity of Melanopsin—the photo pigment that predominantly drives the human circadian system.

Today’s solid state marketplace offers an array of tunable LEDs, enabling harness different colors, and color temperatures, of light from one source. However, there is a significant difference between tunable lighting and circadian LED technology that realistically mimics changing wavelengths of sunlight throughout the day to optimally stimulate the body’s natural release of serotonin in the morning and melatonin at night. While the technology required to produce a product capable of tun ing wavelengths to produce a bright white morning light and evolve into a soft, yellow light toward the day’s end is more complex, health and wellness-oriented lighting manufacturers, lighting designers and progressive building owners are embracing the benefits of human centric lighting (HCL).
Replicating the sun’s changing wavelengths throughout the day, Circadian LED systems help stimulate bodies’ natural rhythms.
A mural by hometown artist Aaron Darling at Ketra’s headquarters in Austin depicts skylines across the world where Lutron has offices. The colors change visually as the Ketra lighting changes in CCT and intensity.

In a recent Lutron survey of New York-based lighting designers, 82% had already designed a tunable white project. However, it’s going to take more effort to make circadian and wellness lighting more accessible to building occupants. The continued application of new technologies and research and development are important, but the development of industry standards is key.
By incorporating a green LED, this supports a highly accurate replication in tuning a large range of less than 2400K to over 6000K.
“These light engines are designed specifically to meet the peak sensitivity of the circadian system while balancing color quality and source efficacy. This means users get the highest melanopic ratios, with brilliant color quality, at standard architectural CCTs,” explains Soler.
At the same time, simply tuning the correlated color temperature (CCT) can be misleading, says Swenson. For each CCT, designers still need to ensure that the light source provides a color rendering index (CRI) greater than 80 and a high R9 value, ideally greater than 90, according to Soler. The R9 value represents how accurately a light source reproduces strong red colors. Product Innovations
To date, 36 different lighting manufacturers have partnered with BIOS to produce circadian luminaires and fixtures.
“This advanced tuning solution gently shifts in color temperature and intensity throughout the day to help people feel more connected to nature when working, living and playing indoors,” explains Casey.
Offering some general guidance in selecting high quality tunable LED products, Soler instructs, “when looking at daytime melanopic ratios (MR), look for 3000K LEDs with an m-DER greater than 0.70, for 3500K look for an m-DER greater than 0.80, and for 4000K, look for an m-DER greater than 0.90.”
On the R&D side, just as Nichia developed its Dynasolis 2-in-1 color tuning technology out of a single light-emitting surface, Swenson antic ipates the development of a similar technology with both color tuning and spectral tuning out of a single LED. “I hope the SSL market enables it to continue to evolve. There is a lot more that can be accomplished to improve the implementation of the technology,” concludes Swenson.
Another technology is Nichia’s Dynasolis, which is a tunable LED pairing developed to enhance the regulation of body clock by combining Nichia’s non-visual, energizing Azure color (480nm) and a calming warm white LED, in addition to the visual color tuning element of human centric lighting.
“As standards organizations like the Illuminating Engineering Soci ety develop recommended practices for specifiers to design around circadian lighting, it is likely that we will see adoption increase,” projects Casey.

While other products are capable of emitting this uniform light at wide angles for ambient lighting, when it comes to narrow beams for task or accent lighting, there is a risk of color breakup. Resolving this issue, Ketra’s TrueBeam Optics maintain homogenized light, delivering color uniformity across any beam.

Also patterning the black body locus is PERFEKTLight from Prolume.
“Throughout the day, sunlight varies from amber at sunrise to blue in midday and amber at sunset,” explains Zachary Teamer, senior director of marketing, Prolume. “PERFEKTLight’s output is exceptionally close to sunlight throughout the day and can be adapted to any location.“
Another innovation is BIOS’ SkyBlue technology with its ability to pinpoint the 490nm peak sensitivity of the melanopic ratio weighting cur ve. This then produces a very high melanopic ratio of 4000K (0.92 MR), 3500K (0.83 MR), and 3000K (0.74 MR). In pairing this with a nighttime spectrum as warm as 1800K, BIOS’ bio-dimming technology enables users to transition between the two spectrums using a single non-proprietary dimming interface.
Amongst the different advanced technologies on the market, The Ketra Natural Light product mimics what’s known as the black body locus curve which are the exact color temperatures found in nature.
Moving Forward

“The Azure LED stimulates the secretion of serotonin and leads to the normalization of the circadian rhythm,” explains Swensen. “During daytime activity hours, the color temperature can be increased to a refreshing, higher CCT, which is more equivalent to natural daylight, improving alertness and maintaining concentration levels. From the late afternoon, the light is gradually changed to a warmer CCT, allowing people to relax, feel more comfortable and sleep more peacefully.”
“The task was to design a luminaire that can respond to two different needs of users in workspaces from both an acoustic and lighting perspective.”
Responsive Ripple Light Ali Berkman designed the Ripple acoustic light fixture for Feltouch with many objectives in mind. First, the fixture emits glare-free, dimmable light that turns on or off by the presence or absence of the user. It also dims up or down in response to daylight levels, without intervention. Ripple can also switch between direct and indirect light distribution so that reflections and hot spots on screens can be avoided.

For “About Time,” Suzan Tillotson and her team used fixtures from Q-Tran, Ecosense, and Flos as their illuminated paint-like brushes. They worked with stage and exhibit designer Es Devlin as lighting artists to interpret the beauty of vintage and contemporary apparel displayed on mannequins and forms by adding dimension to the silhouettes, fabrics, and accessories shown in two galleries. A swinging pendulum in the center of the first gallery space was inconspicuously illuminated from above with small framing projectors, keep ing time with the ticking audio in the background as part of the “time” theme. Discreet surfacemounted accent lights highlighted each exhibi tion piece from above. In the second gallery, a lowprofile recessed track system with shielded point sources allowed viewers to feel the presence of the infinite reflections surrounding them.
• CLOCK FACES Designed to resemble enormous clock faces, two adjacent galleries display the history of fashion with both a linear and disruptor narrative.
“About Time: Fashion and Duration” is all about drama. Lighting Time, Fashionably “The whole concept of the fashion timeline and the way the story was told with lighting was a perfect match” explained a juror for the 2022 AL awards citation to Tillotson Design Associates for the lighting of “About Time: Fashion and Duration,” the dynamic exhibit presented by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Tillotson Design Associates, recognized for creatively illuminating large-scale workplace lighting projects such as Comcast Innovation and Technology Center, Bloomberg European Headquarters, and The Roy and Diana Vagelos Education Center turned a different set of its creative sights to the 9,800-sq.-ft. exhibit at The Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibition “About Time: Fashion and Duration” ran for over three months on view through early 2021, commemorating the last 150 years of fashion.
