he vagaries of deadlines means that, as I write this, the winter in our little corner of the UK, is still to fully arrive (maybe it won’t bother this year, who knows?). While we count ourselves lucky not to have been forced to dig our way out of snowdrifts day after day, I must admit it does seem a long while since we enjoyed a stroll in the evening without the aid of a torch, and my personal mission to become the female version of Rory McIlroy has taken quite a beating during the long dark winter days.

So, in an effort to hasten the advent of spring, we decided to invest in some ‘proper’ outside lighting. It’s not that we’ve stumbled about in the dark ever since we moved here – although when I think about it, the retina-searing searchlights that we hoped originally would pierce the darkest recesses of ‘chez nous’ did little more than create grotesque and terrifying shadows, and stun any passing wildlife into immobility - no, it’s more a desire to improve and enrich our lives using light.

To cut a long, and somewhat tedious story of cables, trenches, electricians, and mud, short, the installation has been going on since the back end of last year, with numerous breaks for holidays, man-flu - and mugs of tea of course. Finally, yesterday we were informed that it was complete – the lighting installation was finished, the damage to the garden repaired (ahem!) more or less, the newly-disturbed pathways repaired … it was time for switch on.

Managing director

Oh my! What a difference it makes employing a professional.

We now have a garden we can use at any time of the day or night, the planting looks lush rather than threatening, and the local wildlife appear to be totally undisturbed by our nighttime illuminations, which, thanks to the efficiency of LED, stays on throughout the dark hours.

Colour-coded Christmas

O

ne of the big sellers of Christmas 2014 was Osram’s Lightify light chain.

By downloading an app for their smartphone, users were able to dress their festive trees in whatever colour took their fancy, from a choice of approximately16 million shades.

Thanks to modern LED technology, Christmas utility bills were also lower – the German Energy Agency calculated that upgrading a single Christmas tree from standard incandescent lamps to LED, during the Christmas season saved more than 30 euros (approx. £20) in electricity.

Once installed, brightness and colour tones of the controllable light chains can be modified with the smartphone app to achieve a traditional Christmas atmosphere or something much more contemporary.

Bigger and better PR Lighting has extended its XLED series, with the release of the XLED 3007.

Containing seven LEDs (4 in 1 RGBW), each rated at 20W, this is a larger version of the XLED 2007 and features a 6:1 zoom — one of many similar functions it shares with the successful XLED 3019. And crucially, each LED is individually controllable.

Aside from its impressive zoom ratio (7°-42°) the fixture has endless pan and tilt rotation, with Swap and Invert function, auto position correction and magnet positioning function.

Other notable features include optional wireless control, touch keys on the panel, and over-temperature protection, as well as 0-100 per cent linearly adjustable dimmer; RGBW linear colour mixing (with macro), linear colour temperature correction (2700K-10000K), electronic strobe (0-25 fps), and DMX wireless control support.

Zhaga’s new book The Zhaga Consortium, which develops specifications for interchangeable LED light sources, is working on a new book to include Chip-on-Board (COB) LED arrays.

COB arrays are already in widespread use throughout the LED lighting industry, but different manufacturers offer a widerange of alternative sizes, creating problems for manufacturers and suppliers.

‘We consulted many luminaire makers, and received broad support for our plans to standardise this type of LED light source,’ said Musa Unmehopa, Secretary General of the Zhaga Consortium.

‘These companies asked us to standardise properties, such as the mechanical dimensions of the module, the position of electrodes, and the diameter of the light-emitting surface.’

Zhaga standardisation removes arbitrary variations in a small number of parameters, in order to enable interchangeability of LED light sources. For customers, this simplifies the comparison and selection of products. For COBarray makers, it allows a focus on areas where they can offer value-added differentiation

to customers, such as thermal properties, quality of light, or luminous efficacy.

‘For Zhaga Books to be successful, they need to reflect the wishes of the market,’ added Unmehopa. ‘We welcome any input from COB makers or other companies, who are invited to join Zhaga and contribute to the ongoing discussions.’

The new book will define LED light engines, comprising rectangular and square LED modules with a circular light-emitting surface (LES) and a separate LED driver, and will define a family of modules with different dimensions. In the majority of cases, modules that are compliant with the new book will employ COB technology for the light-emitting section. However, the Zhaga specification will not prevent the use of alternative technology approaches. In common with other Zhaga specifications, the new book will only restrict the parameters necessary to enable interchangeability. In addition to PCB dimensions and thickness, such parameters are likely to include the location of the LES centre point, the position and size of the electrode positions, and the location of the thermal measurement point.

he award-winning Beacon family from Concord is being continuously updated, and now the company is pushing the boundaries of technology with Beacon XL, a spotlight with the power to provide up to 3000 fixture lumens at 40W. ‘Concord is renowned for its innovative and forward-thinking luminaires, and Beacon XL fits this mould perfectly,’ comments Fay Berry, SBU manager for Concord at Havells-Sylvania.

‘With its extraordinary lumen output and stylish design, it is easy to see why the Beacon XL is ideal for retail applications.

‘Retailers will benefit from the energy savings that LED technology provides, whilst also incorporating the flexibility of dimming and lowering maintenance costs compared to traditional CMI technology.’

Available in black or white versions to complement the rest of the Beacon range, the Beacon XL can replace existing 35W CMI-T (HID) luminaires to provide significant energy savings.

With a CRI figure of up to 97, Beacon XL offers a high-powered LED luminaire with great colour rendering for retail and display environments. The 40W luminaire has three different beam angles - a narrow beam of 12˚, a medium beam of 24˚, and a wide beam of 50˚ - to provide end-users with the right effect for individual environments.

With additional accessories in the form of elongation lens, snoot and barn doors, the luminaire can be tailored to suit almost all requirements.

arvard Engineering has commenced construction of its new 80,000 sq ft custom built facility in Wakefield.

Councillor Box, leader of Wakefield Council, attended the site of the new facility for a ground breaking ceremony, alongside MD, John McDonnell, and Andrew Winter, operations director at Harvard.

The new facility, which is based less than a mile from the company’s current site, will comprise two buildings, one to house the office and laboratory for the R&D team, and the other for the factory and warehouse.

Due for completion in July 2015, Harvard’s new facility is due to its rapid growth over the past three years. The company has outgrown its current site on Tyler Close, and recently received a Regional Growth Fund grant of £2.7m to expand the research and development department, as well as the manufacturing facility. John McDonnell, managing director at Harvard, commented: ‘We are really excited about the construction of our new facility getting underway. It will give us the room that we need to expand the business now - and in the future.’

All change, State-side SGM announced the restructuring of its sales and service operations in the Americas during LDI in Las Vegas.

This was highlighted by the opening last month of its operation in Orlando, Florida.

At the same time, the respected Spanish lighting designer, Ben Díaz has been appointed as the company’s area manager for South America; he will also be handling product training.

One for the traditionalists Novah has developed Lumi, an LED lamp designed to replicate the traditional GLS bulb.

Lumi looks and feels like a traditional GLS bulb, but with no compromise on quality, the lamp consumes six watts instead of 50 watts, making it highly energy efficient, cost effective, and environmentally friendly for the consumer.

Craig Lewis, chief executive of Novah, said: ‘We’re incredibly excited about our new Lumi products, as well as the ground-breaking technology that we’ve developed solely in house.

‘We believe this new style of GLS lamp will be very popular with our customers as it will fill a gap in the market, which has been left

redundant for a while.

‘Since the EU-wide ban on manufacturing and importing GLS light sources came into effect, retailers have been offering a somewhat lower grade alternative, which has to meet the legal requirements.

We hope that our new lamp will bridge the gap in what the domestic consumers are looking for, and what big retailers want to offer, to replace bulbs for traditional light fittings.’

ILP’s Light List

T

he Institution of Lighting Professionals launched Light List – 100 thoroughly researched and thought-provoking publications about light – to an audience of more than 40 lighting designers at a special event held at BDP’s London offices.

It is the brainchild of lighting designers, Mark Ridler, vice president architectural of the ILP, and ILP member, Mark Major, principal of Speirs and Major, who both saw the value to lighting designers of having access to this type of literary database. ‘The list shows both the theoretic rigour and the artistic creativity behind lighting,’ said Major.

As part of ‘An Evening of Light and Inspiration’, the audience also enjoyed a thought-provoking presentation by Matthew Clark, founder of United Visual Artists.

Clark explored themes such as the

perception of time in UVA’s work, and explained the highly complex efforts behind some of its recent installations, such as Momentum at the Barbican.

The ILP is committed to the development of a carefully crafted programme of events, resources and education support for independent lighting designers, a rapidly growing part of its membership. Feedback from this event was extremely positive, with several new members signing up on the night.

Richard Frost, chief executive, sees the growth of this part of the membership as key to the continued development and diversity of the organization. He commented: ‘We are delighted with the increased membership from the architectural lighting sector and welcome the innovation and creativity this brings to the institution.’

T

erence Woodgate is an industrial designer, specialising in furniture and lighting.

He became a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI) in 2003, and has received international recognition in the form of the Red Dot ‘Best of the Best’, and the IF ecology award.

Examples of his work are held in private collections, and in the permanent collections of the Museu d’Arts Decoratives, Barcelona and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Woodgate launched a new lighting brand in 2014, which designs and manufactures collections that fully optimise the formidable benefits of LED technology.

The Terence Woodgate brand calls on his 25 years’ lighting design experience, extensive knowledge of LED technology, and a partnership with Megaman, one of the most innovative and competitive LED lamp manufacturers, to produce accessible, design-led lighting, optimised for high performance, low-energy LEDs. We caught up with Woodgate to find out what the new lighting brand is all about.

A man for all seasons Give him a sheet of paper and Terence Woodgate will create – simple as that.

Where did you train, and was it specifically in industrial design?

TW: I trained as a design engineer originally. I actually served a five-year engineering apprenticeship, studying at Westminster & Middlesex. I then went back to college in my 30’s to study furniture design and production at LCF (London College of Furniture, now The Cass).

Were you always interested in design, or did you start out down a different path and get drawn into the field?

I start with that intimidating white sheet of paper and start to scribble ideas down’

TW: I have always loved design and making. I grew up with Airfix kits, Lego, and Meccano.

I originally thought that pure engineering was my path, but I constantly saw fault in certain products, and learnt that

www.tlmagazine.co.uk • F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 5 • 19

PEOPLE the only way to resolve things was to design, to create it myself. Having a solid background in engineering has served me well.

Can you explain a little about your role as a Royal Designer for Industry – how it came about, and what is involved?

TW: Royal Designers for Industry is a faculty of the Royal Society of Arts, formed in 1937 to recognise sustained excellence in design. What is cool about it is that there is no commercial influence at all. Your work is simply judged by other RDI’s that feel that your work should be recognised.

Among other accolades, you have received a ‘red dot’ award for your work.

Was it the most special/prestigious?

TW: Becoming a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI) was the most special, for the reasons I’ve already given, and because many of my design heroes were RDI’s. People like Sir Alec Issigonis, designer of the Mini; Colin Chapman, F1 designer; Mary

TW: I haven’t really branched out into lighting design; I have been designing lighting for over 25 years. However, I have branched out into manufacture, and being in total control of both design and production.

I wanted to be able to produce my own work to the standards that I set, and to be able to react and refine, to create a company with a design culture and a focus on excellence.

How large is your product range, and who is it aimed at?

TW: We wanted to start with a totally resolved collection of pendants and surface-mounted downlights, using materials such as wood and marble.

It is aimed at the residential and the contract markets, in particular the hospitality sector, such as bars and restaurants.

What light sources do you design for?

TW: All fittings produced by my lighting brand will be optimised | for LED.

‘This is the fun part, like a child with crayons’

Quant, designer of the other mini.

And so on….

If you had to choose one, what is your absolute favourite product that you designed yourself?

TW: I am very proud of my designs for Concord Lighting. Furniture-wise, the Surface Table for Established & Sons, with John Barnard RDI. John Barnard is one of the greatest Formula One designers, and to collaborate with him was a joy.

And what about something created by one of your contemporaries? Do you have a favourite among the designers you’ve mentioned or possibly someone else entirely?

TW: There are so many great designers. Jasper Morrison is one whose work I am particularly fond of. It does not shout, is subtle and yet modern.

In the past 12 months, you’ve branched out specifically into lighting design. Can you explain the rationale behind Terence Woodgate Lighting?

20 • F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 5 • www.tlmagazine.co.uk

In the past, I have designed light fittings in just about every possible light source; SON high-pressure sodium, metal halide, tungsten, halogen and compact fluorescents….

Where do you stand on the LED debate?

Do you believe it has come far enough to be taken up for general/all uses?

TW: It most definitely has arrived, and I see no downsides with the current generation of LEDs. They are now full spectrum and are available in all colour temperatures.

The fact that they are now around 90 per cent efficient is amazing. With 20 per cent of the world’s energy used in lighting, LEDs can make a real, positive difference.

Did you undertake specific training in lighting with LED, or does your early training work across the divide?

TW: I have always designed with all constraints in mind, and there certainly are special constraints to be considered when designing with LED. I do believe that my experience helps enormously, as I still consider factors

PEOPLE such as glare, and how to optimise performance. It seems daft to have this new, incredibly efficient light source and to waste it.

I apply the same attention to detail to domestic residential lighting, as I would to technical lighting, for say, a museum.

We believe you’ve formed a partnership with Megaman. Can you tell us a little about the benefits to both sides, and how it will work?

TW: It is simply a design collaboration.

shape at every turn. You never stop, and are always working. When I am lying on the sofa with my eyes closed, I am still working!

Then it is the mock up, then the first prototype, then refinements, and sleepless nights. Finally the off-tool samples, and assembly of the finished product, by which time you are already thinking about the next design!

Where are your fittings manufactured?

TW: All over: Germany for the machined wood parts; cables sets in China; new parts soon from Stoke-onTrent and Birmingham. But everything starts here, and is boxed here.

Who else’s light fittings do you particularly admire?

You use a wide variety of materials for the latest designs. Which are most successful? And have you tried any materials that simply didn’t work?

TW: I still think Concord Lighting make great products, which are well designed and engineered.

I love the engineering of Erco products, and Flos and

a choice. I have tried other materials, but none that did not work as such; we just didn’t proceed with them due to production concerns.

Do you believe in using the services of a lighting designer in the same way you might commission an interior designer?

TW: Yes, I do certainly do.

Lighting designers can bring something totally new to the project, in the same way that interior designers can. Lighting is so important to the way the space is perceived.

How do you begin the design process – can you take us through it from concept to boxed product?

TW: I start with that intimidating white sheet of paper, and start to scribble ideas down. It is a design conversation I am having with myself - not really knowing where it will go. This is the fun part, like a child with crayons.

Then something stands out, some essence, some form, and then I work it to create the basis of the design.

Getting from there to the threedimensional product is the hard and painful part.

Sometimes the design fits perfectly, and other times you have to beat it into

‘What is cool about it is that there is no commercial influence at all.

Your work is simply judged by other RDI’s that feel that your work should be recognised’

Do you undertake commissions for bespoke fittings?

TW: Yes, I think we would if the project was large enough to invest the time and effort. We can certainly offer iterations of Solid, either in another shape or material.

As LED adoption grows, is there one light source that you’ll be sad to see fade into history?

TW: No, not really.

I do love the golden yellow of sodium lighting for architecture, but LED can also achieve it now too.

What’s next for Terence Woodgate?

TW: The launch of further lighting collections; growing into new markets.

e aren’t usually concerned with how the lighting in a building has been installed, taking it for granted that our lights will work. As an electrician once told me, “we

are the chosen tradespeople - God didn’t say let there be drains for our toilets, or paint on our walls”.

So let’s take a look at what constitutes good practice. Lighting crews have many products available to help with the task of installing luminaires. Once the client has selected a fitting, the electrician should be asking a number of questions: • Where do I put them? Check the lighting design.

• Where do I purchase them? Some manufacturers don’t sell wholesale.

• How should they be installed? Some manufacturers specify how the luminaires should be installed, and which ancillary products should be used.

• What is the lead time from order date? This can vary from next day to 12 weeks.

• What is the load per switch, and per circuit? This determines the size of cable and circuit protection required.

• Is the system DALI/SwitchDim/1-10V/Switched? Determines the switches and number of cables required for each fitting.

• What inrush current should I expect? Cheaper LED luminaires have a high inrush current, limiting simultaneous switching on.

• What is the total load/running current of the circuit? Size of cable required.

• What connection system is compatible with the luminaires?

Single feed, loop in, solid cable,

of a mess of the installation, as the lighting is generally the only part the client is going to see, day to day. But the wiring and connection system can be crucial to the operation, functionality, and maintenance of the system.

If a cable connection works loose, then all lighting products downstream will be classed as faulty; whereas a continuous line of cable for the electricity to flow down. This allows a light fitting to be safely unplugged from a live system, changed or moved, without the need to turn off the lighting circuit. A competent electrical contractor should ensure that minimal maintenance is required, because, as we know, electrical products will eventually need to be replaced.

The last thing you want is for the client to be forced to send home all their employees due to the failure of a single light fitting - the cost of the downtime could be huge to the client - and to your reputation! Get it right, and the client may think the designer and installer could be almost God like - let there be light indeed! Get it wrong and you may be classed as the devil himself!

mong the usual mix of e-Christmas cards doing the rounds, the one that stood out for me was the emergency lighting industry’s friend, the running man - in this instance sporting a festive Santa hat. Which is a long-winded way of introducing Lyco’s Glen Harper, who’s been looking at the do’s and don’ts when specifying emergency lighting: ‘The role of emergency lighting is to provide light during a loss of mains power. This is achieved with either batterypowered independent fittings, or emergency lighting circuits and a generator.

‘Generators have some advantages in larger buildings, but are expensive, and complicated to install. Independent emergency fittings are favoured in most instances, for their relatively low cost and straightforward installation. Being self-sufficient, they also eliminate the risk of multiple lights being disabled by a circuit failure.’

Emergency lighting: making an escape

Emergency lighting is divided into two main categories:

1

STANDBY LIGHTING

Standby lighting allows everyday work to continue after a power failure, but is not part of a building’s fire protection, and may not be required by the building occupier.

2 ESCAPE LIGHTING For the lighting specifier or installer, escape lighting carries a greater burden of responsibility. In the event of a fire, it saves lives.

Escape lighting is further categorised in three ways:

Escape route lighting is designed

LED leads the way

to function using battery power.

Fluorescent lamps have been the main source of emergency lighting for many years however, LED emergency lights are taking over.

LED technology is often 30 to 50 per cent more energy efficient than fluorescent, and offers a long lifespan of up to 50,000 hours. A fluorescent lamp might only last 6,000 hours before it abruptly expires, which weighs heavily on maintenance costs.

LED longevity is particularly beneficial to maintained emergency lights, since they are kept switched on for many hours each day. The compact size of an LED is especially useful in some non-maintained emergency lights, which can be made small enough for discreet installation among ‘regular’ fittings.

Emergency lighting also benefits from the inherently directional output of LEDs. Because an LED sends light in a single direction, it achieves the necessary lux levels in escape route lighting, with minimal light loss and modest use of battery power.

Other LED advantages include instant full power lighting without any warm-up time, resistance to vibration and shock, and reliable cold temperature performance down to about -20°C.

Maintained exit signs are mandatory in public buildings and entertainment venues, where occupants are unlikely to be familiar with escape routes.

At least 10 per cent of normal lux levels must be provided by emergency lighting in these areas, or a 15-lux minimum if this value is higher FURTHER READING

Look for the signs Carry out a risk assessment If you have five or more employees, companies are required by law, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, to carry out a fire safety risk assessment, and must keep a written record of the assessment.

This legislation exists to ensure that the correct emergency lighting is installed to cover any identifiable risks, and that it will correctly operate in the event of a failure of the mains lighting supply. BS5266 is the code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises, which provides information on the correct emergency lighting for the safety of people. Additionally, the BS5266 code, along with the BSEN1838 code, provides specifiers with information regarding areas that need emergency lighting, such as: the minimum levels of illumination, duration, maximum brightness to prevent glare, and any points of emphasis, which require particular consideration. Failure to comply with these stipulations not only puts lives at risk, and raises the possibility of prosecution, but can also invalidate insurance policies.

Eight ways to ensure compliance with emergency lighting regulations

E

mergency lighting can be a lifeline for people trying to find their way out of a building if mains lighting fails, and this is particularly important in the event of a fire.

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which brings all aspects of fire safety under one roof, recommends that the emergency lighting used is covered by the BSI Kite mark scheme. So how can you be sure your emergency lighting is compliant? Eaton’s Graham White outlines eight key considerations

Look for third-party certification The most reliable way to ensure your emergency lighting is fit for purpose is to buy products approved by third-party certification schemes, such as BSI Kite marking, and the Industry Committee for Emergency Lighting (ICEL) registration.

The BSI governs the implementation of strict European standards on the design and manufacture of emergency luminaires, under regulations including EN60598-1 and EN60598-2-22.

Meanwhile, the manufacturers’ trade organisation, ICEL provides a product auditing and approval process. If ICEL-approved luminaires are installed at the correct location, according to the recommendations of BS5266, using verified spacing data, the emergency lighting system will meet the minimum emergency lighting levels for the safety of people. However, this may need enhancement if specific risks are identified during the risk assessment.

Upon meeting these conditions, the installation would then be considered sufficiently safe to protect users of the building, and reduce the likelihood of any legal action relating to non-compliance with the Regulatory Reform Order.

COMMERCIAL

Know what you are buying Given that emergency lighting will never be used on an everyday basis, it can be tempting to opt for cheaper luminaires. These are often supplied from distant sources, and will pass through numerous intermediaries before installation. This can lead to confusion over the precise specifications, and the claims made by manufacturers and sellers, which may not be independently verified.

Buying cheaply may also turn out to be a false economy, since lower quality components can shorten the lifespan of batteries and lamps; they may also have inferior optics, resulting in an increased number of fittings being required to meet the minimum emergency lighting levels. As this is a life safety product, you do need to consider whether a cheaper option might be more vulnerable to failure.

Location, location, location The positioning of emergency lighting is crucial.

Some of the key locations where emergency luminaires should be installed are: along escape routes, at every change in direction, adjacent to any step or trip hazard, over every flight of stairs, so that each tread receives direct light, close to fire fighting equipment, call points and first aid points, outside every final exit to a place of safety, or any other location identified by the risk assessment.

Under the regulations, a minimum luminance of one lux is required on the centre line of an escape route, with a uniformity of at least 40:1. In open areas however, a minimum of 0.5 lux is required.

To achieve these minimum levels, refer to the spacing tables that should be provided by your chosen manufacturer.

Higher levels of luminance will also be required for areas identified as having a higher risk.

Examples of these areas are described within the BS5266 guidance, along with the recommended higher lux level values.

Think about maintenance and servicing Minimum routine testing schedules are one of the requirements of the regulations and standards. The time this takes can become a significant demand on facilities managers and maintenance teams. One way to avoid the on-going costs associated with maintenance, servicing, repairs, and replacements is to specify quality emergency luminaires in the first place.

Another tip is to consider self-testing systems, which reduce the expense, time demands, and disruption associated with manual testing regimes on individual luminaires. With automatic test systems, results from an entire network are collected and fed back to a central point, where the exact location of a fault can be pinpointed.

The system will also identify the cause of the fault, which might be a failed lamp or module, so that the necessary spare part can be selected and taken to the location to speed up the repair process.

Consider the long term costs Buying high quality, industry-approved emergency lighting may initially seem more costly, but consider the bigger picture. Good quality products may have a higher output and better spacing performance, meaning fewer units are needed to achieve the required level of illumination, which may not only reduce the outlay on products, but also the installation cost. It is also worth bearing in mind the total cost of ownership, as long-term energy costs may be reduced.

Additionally, it’s worth considering LED-based emergency luminaires. They use less power, therefore reduce running costs, and require less maintenance.

LED-based emergency luminaires have a working life often greater than 50,000 hours, which is up to 10 times longer than a conventional fluorescent lamp.

Furthermore, the latest generation incorporate optic lenses to direct light into a specific pattern. This ensures the light is correctly distributed to maximise the coverage for emergency lighting from the luminaire, which may be needed to cover a larger open area or a specific distribution to maximise the spacing along an escape route.

Pay attention to the exit What if a failure of supply occurs in the hours of darkness? Regulation BS5266-1:2011 requires that external lighting must be provided to guide evacuees from the point where they exit a building, to a place of safety. This means that many applications will need a weatherproof luminaire operating in maintained or switched maintained mode, controlled by daylight sensors. LED luminaires can be used for this purpose to reduce maintenance and running costs.

Don’t ignore the signs In addition to emergency lighting, it’s important to consider signage at the earliest stage. The obligation is to ensure that escape routes are clearly defined and identified with the correct exit signage. When selecting a product, be aware that the viewing distance for an internally illuminated exit sign is calculated by multiplying the height of the illuminated element by a factor of 200. This information will normally be available from reputable manufacturers. For externally illuminated signs, the multiplication factor is only 100, but it must have at least five lux at any point of the sign in emergency conditions.

An alternative option is the photo-luminescent exit sign. However, it is important to remember that these rely on ambient light to charge their photo-luminescent membrane. Additionally, EN1838 states that under emergency lighting conditions, the sign shall be sufficiently illuminated to be visible.

The safety colour must remain green and the contrast colour must remain white within the colour boundaries specified in ISO3864-4. This usually means that general lighting must be permanently switched on in order for the exit light to self-illuminate in the event of a power failure.

The lighting’s controlled permeability draws the eye through the space, and illuminates the building’s distinctive shape.

Throughout the offices, the lighting is driven by the strong, sloped elevation of the building.

Daniel Blaker, senior lighting designer at PNLD, said: ‘The lighting solution was designed to be warm and welcoming, while possessing an authenticity true to the ethos of the practice. We are thrilled that SOM asked us to develop and deliver a concept for their headquarters, and first self-designed and occupied space.

Vorsprung durck technik Façade lighting with a difference for Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg development

T

he latest collaborative project from Udo Krollman Corporate Centre and Wolf architectural practice has brought Berlin one of the most unconventional and daring architectural ventures seen to date in the city.

Following its tradition of acquisition and transformation of commercial and residential properties, to meet the demands of a part of the market thirsty for exclusivity, Udo Krollman has created The Prenzlauer Berg, a residential development unlike any other.

Every aspect of its design has been carefully created, and its façade is one of the prime examples. The development features the first light transmitting concrete façade in Berlin.

Huge developments in light transmitting concrete have been achieved during the last decade, and, although the magical glowing, eyecatching effect continues to be one of its trademarks, the dynamism achievable with the current light technology allows for versatile, changing on demand architectural surfaces, such as the Prenslauer Berg façade.

Lucem’s revolutionary architectural concrete combines a mineral aggregate and translucent optical fibres to transmit light. It is typically supplied in panel format, and installed with a lightsource of choice at the rear of the panel. The light travels to the surface of the panel, allowing a colourful wash of light, literally glowing from the inside of the concrete.

Current technology now allows for RGB LEDs to be activated and controlled through a computer or smartphone - the possibilities range from static shades to colours that can change on demand, and the light intensity is also controllable.

Lighting Philosophy, Outreach, and Rock & Roll L

ighting wasn’t always Scott Oldner’s passion. Like many of us, he wound his way through various creative and not so creative career paths until finding lighting. Rock musician, booking agent, live music club owner, electrical engineer. It was the electrical engineering path that re-aquainted him with lighting from the rock-n-roll days and from then on, it was all about architectural lighting design. With a mother as a concert level pianist and a father as an electrical engineer, he found lighting a “perfect combination of left and right brain excitement”, Scott says. “I have several pseudo-mantras”, he says,”we are vertical beings so we see vertical surface first. So when you want the most bang for the buck, light the verticals first and the horizontals will take care of themselves. Also, we are designers of darkness as well as designers of light. Be mindful of the darkness for lightness and darkness two sides of the same coin”.

Scott Oldner Lighting Design’s projects

40 • F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 5 • www.tlmagazine.co.uk

are varied and may seem eclectic and lacking his own unique style, but as you look at the whole breadth of work, it becomes evident that he is a fan of all lighting and doesn’t follow anyone’s prescription. Most notably, the Phoenix Children’s Hospital and Park 17 projects show a bold use of color while at the same time a sensitivity to architecture, while Hilton Anatole and The Place exhibit solid work in custom fixtures and large volumes. Scott believes that everyone should have access to quality design including middle American homes such as the Froelich Residence. Scott is developing a series of fixtures called the Scott Oldner Collection along with Lights Fantastic Pro to bring better design and a higher quality of fixtures and techniques to those who can’t afford lighting designer fees. “It’s important to give back, volunteer at the local food bank, or get involved in your church outreach effort.

Me, I like to volunteer (at local colleges) to raise the consciousness of lighting and health issues”. Scott is a vegan and loves to talk about cleansing and juicing almost as much as lighting, having lost almost 3 stone on his plant based regimen. “I want everyone to be in a state of wonder at how beautiful the world is and feel as good as I do”, he says.

His latest growth has been in his partnership with Jez Blacker’s firm Illum Lighting Design. They have joined forces to better serve the architects and designers that need that extra level of detail and visual impact. Jez designs lighting out of California and Scott from Texas and both have projects that span the globe, most are hospitality projects from Dubai to San Francisco and from New York to London. Jez grew up and worked in London for 45 years before making the move with his wife and four boys to California. “I love London

and miss it very much, miss my work at Harrod’s”, Jez says, “and wish I had all my family and friends with me in California”. but the move has made it possible to support their mission on the Island of Laganave in Haiti, where Jez and his wife Lynzi spearheaded a purely volunteer effort to build the first hospital on the deathly poor

island. Also on their team is Andrew Gauld from Edinburgh, Scotland who brings even more international experience to the firm. They call this partnership Blacker Oldner Lighting Design, BOLD. Currently, the Scott and Jez combined teams are working on hi-end residential projects, retail development projects and a resort in Cancun for the Breathless brand. We asked Scott about the highlights of his most recent trip to the UK. “This trip was more of a personal trip visiting family in Maidstone so it was low key on the business side”. Turns out his favorite architectural discovery on this trip was the Lloyd’s of London building. “I sure would love to get my lighting hands on that one and play a new song on it”. Maybe someday he and Jez will get that chance.

We can eco-build it Join 4,500 lighting design professionals making the switch to energy efficient lighting at Ecobuild 2015

L

ighting designers, architects, energy and facilities managers driving long-term cost efficiencies for client projects of all sizes, should schedule their trip to Ecobuild 2015 (3-5 March 2015, ExCeL London), to source the industry’s most sustainable, energy efficient, lighting solutions, says the event’s organiser.

Despite recent news that measures to phase out energy-guzzling halogen bulbs have been delayed, more than 4,500 forward-thinking buyers attend the world’s marketplace for green building each year, to procure sustainable lighting technologies and solutions*.

Join 44,000 professionals from across the sustainable built environment, including architects, engineers, lighting designers, energy managers, specifiers, and developers, for Ecobuild’s world-class conference and seminar programme, and spectacular showcase of the latest innovations from across the lighting sector.

As high profile projects, such as the Vatican’s recent installation of 7,000 diodes in the Sistine Chapel to cut energy bills by more than 80 per cent, hit the headlines, the spotlight is firmly on the architectural and design community to utilise the most energy efficient lighting solutions available for their clients.

Here’s a snapshot of organisations you could join to source lighting at the 2014 event: Aedas, Atkins, AECOM, Amey, Waterman Group, Tesco, The Co-Operative, Atelier, Briggs & Forrester, Waitrose, Babcock International, Foster & Partners, John Lewis, British Council for Shopping Centres, Transport for London, Carillion, Odeon Cinemas, Marks and Spencer, Lloyds Banking Group, Ministry of Justice, Network Rail, MITIE, Balfour Beatty, BBC, SIG plc, Skanska, and more than 50 local authorities.

From LED-based products and automated controls, to lamps and shades, Ecobuild is the place to go for sustainable lighting solutions. Here’s a sneak preview of just some of the innovations you’ll get to see:

To see …

iGuzzini’s (stand S5022) award-winning family of LED products; Trick has redefined optical design and luminaire development, and the entire range will be on show at Ecobuild. Trick is capable of generating spectacular geometrical effects, with well-defined and punctual shapes, namely circles and concentrated blades of light. The range also includes a grazing effect for more conventional needs.

The fitting is capable of defining and personalising space, giving rhythm and creating design sets. Three bodies are available: small 45mm, medium 90mm, and large 160mm.

The complete Trick range is capable of providing eight luminous effects, but particularly noteworthy are the blades of light, which come in three variations; 180 degrees, 360 degrees and light blade. The first two are particularly inspired creations, as they emit sharp blades of light that effortlessly travel across the space they are installed in. The 180-degree version is particularly magical as it emits blades of light on to every side, besides the one it is installed on. To paint this image in words, imagine blades of light in a U-shape down two walls and across the floor, with the ceiling completely dark; this is where the product would be installed.

Lighting professionals should also check out Ecobuild’s world-class conference and seminar programme. Of particular note to Total Lighting’s readers are the Green Energy, Designing Better Buildings, and Refurb & Retrofit seminar streams.

Green energy covers the specification and delivery of low and zero carbon energy technologies to homes and other buildings. It also looks at energy supply at the community level. Topics will include determining the most cost effective technology for specific applications, meeting regulations, leveraging the Feed-in Tariff and renewable heat incentive. This stream examines the different energy technologies and how to specify them, and the latest technical developments, including energy storage.

A top seminar session to check out in the Design stream is ‘Lighting design: promoting health and wellbeing’.

Beyond energy saving and life cycle costs, how we light our buildings, both naturally and artificially, can have a significant effect on occupier wellbeing, and quality of life.

This session will ask; what is the effect of the quantity and colour of internal light, and how can these influence people, in terms of performance and wellbeing?

Experts from BRE, Arup, UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering, and Philips Lighting University will present the latest research and innovation in this important area of design.

Right Light, Right Place, Right Time CU Phosco Lighting has provided Transport for London with over 5000 LED luminaires to the TfL network since January 2014.

TfL’s overriding objective was to improve the energy efficiency of its street lighting. A combination of CMS technology with LED lighting offered flexibility in lighting control in terms of profiling, flexible lighting levels during public events or planned works, providing a safer white light solution for driving/pedestrian experiences and also reducing maintenance costs across the network.

CU Phosco Lighting is very proud to be part of this program to support our Capital in reducing energy and improving London’s experience with quality lighting solutions.

A Soho nightclub benefits from lighting and video technology

Out of the shadows K aleidovision and Northern Light have pushed the boundaries of converged LED lighting and HD video technology by delivering a tapestry of moving imagery for Novus Leisure’s exclusive venue, Shadow Lounge.

The ultimate goal was to create an immersive environment using video and lighting, but with the lines blurred as to where one medium ended and the other begun. As the lighting products would be ceilingsuspended and integrated into a larger feature of video tiles in the basement venue, the relative light output and compact nature of the Chauvet DJ fittings served well.

Secreted amongst the ceiling’s abstract arrangement of video tiling, are six DJ Intimidator Scan LED 300 fixtures, and four DJ Intimidator Barrel LED 300 units instigating mid air effects, six DJ Intimidator Spot LED 350 moving head’s, and a single DJ Hurricane 1800 Flex fog machine.

Working alongside Martin Tarpy, Greg McLenahan of Worldwide Lighting Design, provided creative input for the lighting design and programming.

He recommended the DJ LED range for its reliability and build-quality.

‘Chauvet fixtures consistently meet

The old venue was very invasive to all senses, with a flashing disco floor and low mirrored ceiling’

very high build standards: they do exactly as they say they do. I can’t rate them highly enough, and would recommend them for any installation or project because I know they will work and keep working as I expect,’ he enthused.

Dani Gibbison, general manager of the 280-capacity basement venue in London’s Soho, admits Shadow Lounge had been sorely in need of a total conversion.

‘The old venue had been patched up on numerous occasions, but was very invasive to all senses, with a flashing disco floor and low mirrored ceiling. It was out of date and I was fiercely keen to push ahead with a completely new concept and make it future-proof,’ he explained.

Novus Leisure marketing director, Helen Cook, said that the company had identified a need for a fully immersive experience conceived by a ‘collaboration of agencies sharing best practice’.

Getting the most out of new and retrofit in-store LED schemes

Changing times B

efore leaping aboard the LED bandwagon, specifiers in the retail sector need to be aware of what works, and what doesn’t quite yet.

Fred Bass, managing director of Neonlite International believes the opportunities to improve all aspects of the retail experience by making the change outweigh any difficulties.

He enthused: ‘There is such an opportunity when it comes to using LEDs in an existing, or new, retail display area.

‘Due to the technical properties of LEDs, their low heat emission and colour rendering qualities, they can be used in ways that were never possible with legacy halogen lamps.

‘A case in point,’ he added, ‘is a retail lighting scheme we were involved in for an exclusive goldsmith and jeweller in The Netherlands; Michgelsen in Soest.

‘Thanks to the thermal management on our

LEDs, the lamps could be used in close proximity to the valuable jewellery and watches. In addition, lamps with different colour properties were used to bring out the sparkle of the jewels in some display cases, and the richness and warmth of watchstraps in others.

‘Thanks to developments in directional beam LED technology, this was not only possible, but very straightforward.’

In the pipeline

Although uptake from retailers generally has been slower than anticipated, possibly because of a lack of understanding or concerns about upfront costs, the larger stores are pushing the trend towards an LED-lit shopping experience.

High street retailer, Debenhams has spearheaded the charge with the news that two of its new stores, in Borehamwood and Scunthorpe, are to be fully lit using LED. Promising to be the retailer’s greenest outlets to date, they have both been fitted with energy efficient heating/cooling plant, and enhanced automatic building management controls systems. The stores are expected to act as a blueprint for future locations.

‘Retail lighting plays a very important part in the customer experience,’ commented John Gray director of store development. ‘It helps to draw attention to the colours and

material of our products, and allows us to highlight particular offers and brands across our store’.

Lighting makes up approximately 35 per cent of a store’s typical energy use, and is therefore an opportune area for energy reductions. With the new LED solution introduced in Borehamwood and Scunthorpe, energy savings of 50 per cent, versus conventional fluorescent lighting, are anticipated. The stores clearly demonstrate that LED lighting not only provides considerable energy and maintenance savings but can also deliver the ideal lit effect to showcase merchandise at its best.

Energy manager, Jaz Rabadia added: ‘Implementing a lighting solution that enhances the customers’ shopping experience, and at the same time can help minimise our environmental impact, is key to us achieving our carbon reduction targets. Working closely with Philips, a manufacturer who is at the forefront of innovations in LED technology, we were able to achieve significant reductions in energy use, and improved illumination levels across the store.’

The Debenhams’ solution incorporates lighting controls to maximise energy savings. Control features, such as daylight sensors on window display lighting, occupancy sensors in the back of house areas, and the linking of sales area lighting to the intruder alarm panel and store’s BMS system, ensures staged operation meaning the lighting is only activated when required.

In the past, Debenhams has trialled

54 • F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 5 • www.tlmagazine.co.uk

LEDs in non-customer facing areas. The retailer now feels the technology has been sufficiently developed to give comparable colour rendition, commercial viability, and illumination to be used across the sales area.

A seismic shift?

Debenhams isn’t alone in its LED adoption programme. Award-winning retail development, WestQuay recently specified LED luminaires for the retail and dining areas, resulting in a much

more modern appearance. WestQuay required a solution that met key requirements; the fixtures had to be modern to match the existing interior design, and they had to save energy, without the need for constant maintenance and bulb changes. The lighting design team at Hoare Lea selected PhotonStar products from the Lorem and Nemesis LED ranges, after research proved them the most suitable solution.

WestQuay now benefits from energy efficiency of around 70 per cent with the newly installed luminaires, which also provide higher light output and superior performance.

Because of this, the operational costs are dramatically reduced.

Importantly, the fittings accurately highlight the colours and textures of goods, representing displays in a dynamic and attractive way to enhance the customer experience.

A warm colour temperature option of 3000K was chosen in order to create a relaxed and inviting environment.

WestQuay is a prime example of how good quality lighting can satisfy even the most diverse of design briefs. Costs and maintenance have been substantially reduced.

Breaking the halogen habit

he demand for LED lighting is constrained by a number of barriers. For most consumers, up-front costs and the reluctance to adopt unknown technology present real obstacles for a technology that offers so much in terms of cost savings.

It is true that LED is slowly overhauling a 100-year-old industry, and its roots lie in the alien world of semiconductors, rather than the more familiar realm of simple physics.

However there is another factor that acts as a real ‘brake’ to LED market share; it is an aesthetic rather than a rational prejudice, and it has all to do with customer expectation.

Many customers don’t want to think about their lighting schemes beyond the functional.

However, when one is drawn into the world of designed interiors, another logic takes hold.

Retail environments are highly tuned marketing spaces that have the specific purpose of presenting merchandise in the most positive and attractive light.

LED faces a number of issues, some of which are problems of its own making. ‘The first generations of LED lamps were often unfocussed lights that were cold, and many had a noticeable blue hue’, explained lighting designer, Andrew Orange. ‘LED did itself considerable damage in those pioneering days, and the reputation for harsh light has endured.’

In reality, today’s lighting infrastructure was designed for halogen; down light fixtures were created for the ubiquitous halogen lamp. Although top end commercial lighting schemes commission face lifts utilising new, and highly-engineered LED luminaires, the majority of small- to medium-sized retailers are taking the retro-fit route to seize the cost advantages of LED in the short term.

So it is among the majority of retail businesses that products like the new generation of LED GU10s need to convince the high street shop owner.

Essentially, these consumers demand the familiar. Halogen provides a warm light that exhibits a red hue, which is strong enough to be functional, yet suitable for relaxed environments when dimmed. Similarly many remark that halogen lights had a sparkle that was not harsh, and not prone to cause discomfort for the user of a retail space – the allimportant customer.

The race is on to develop an LED lamp that will meet the expectations of those who love halogen.

An early entrant into this market, our intention from the outset was to design a product that is aesthetically familiar, a lamp that customers can use to retro-fit interiors, whilst retaining the same lighting effect as halogen, but without the ‘in your face’ LED brightness as you walk in a room.

The cost saving benefits of switching to LED are substantial: retailers are heavy users of lighting to illuminate window displays, and have high occupancy levels, often seven days a week. In comparison to the most common form of lighting used in retail – fluorescent - LED will provide savings of 75 per cent or more, and 90 per cent or more, when compared to incandescent or halogen lighting.

As a semiconductor-based technology, the future of LED lighting in the retail sector far exceeds the scope of conventional light sources. Colour changing, intelligent, and automatic lighting schemes beckon. However, it is in the small- and medium-sized store sector that the large-scale battle for LED supremacy will be fought - and won.

Success – boxed Amazon’s new London offices make work a breeze

S

ixty London is the new home to online retailer, Amazon’s office staff in the UK. The curved 14-storey glass and steel structure, has achieved BREEAM Excellent standard, a reflection of its focus on sustainability. The building, designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), features an expanse of curtain walling across the façade, which allows it to be illuminated at night.

Luxonic provided 2,500 bespoke fittings throughout the space. The

luminaires, designed specifically for the project, were selected for the excellent energy ratings they are able to achieve.

The incorporation of DALI technology enables effective energy management, and provides the building with the tools for reducing its energy costs. Luxonic also provided DALI-addressable emergency inverters to integrate with the system.

The sleek form of the recessed

luminaires is in keeping with the contemporary, flexible, and open-plan office design, which allows them to be seamlessly integrated into the ceiling. Each fitting was supplied for direct installation, complete with lamps and cables. They provide a uniform, evenly distributed light throughout the space, ensuring appropriate illuminance levels for the working environment. A logarithmic dimming behaviour matches the response of the human eye, making the user’s comfort paramount.

Senior associate principal at KPF, Luuc Schutte commented, saying: ‘Luxonic were recommended as alternative suppliers for the general office lighting of Sixty London. They did not disappoint. We found them to be very receptive to our design ideas, and keen to demonstrate that our high expectations for built quality could be met.

‘The final installation was very well received and we are now considering the use of the same luminaires for a number of UK developments.’

Art lovers Spreading the LED word to the global art community

S

o many great artworks, installations and galleries are reaping the benefits of LED adoption, both in terms of cost savings, but so much more importantly, in terms of saving our precious heritage from potentially damaging light sources. And it can be a pretty big crowd puller too.

Take, for instance, the Sistine Chapel. After 500 years of being viewed in the gloom, Osram has supplied an LED-based lighting system that really brings the stunning artworks to life, making them so much more accessible for visitors.

He loves them because it’s the first time you can really see the colours. It’s a different way to show the paintings But why now – is it just about saving money? Prof. Antonio Paolucci, director of the Vatican Museums explained: ‘The Sistine Chapel contains the most extraordinary works ever conceived by the human mind, and is Michelangelo’s masterpiece. We want to honour the 450th anniversary of Michelangelo’s death by providing new lighting for his work.’

Re-lighting the Sistine Chapel is a pilot project supported by the European Funding Program for Information and Communication Technology, within the Framework Program

for Competitiveness and Innovation (PSPCIP). The aim was to demonstrate new possibilities for LED technology with regard to energy efficiency and improved quality of light, helping to achieve more rapid market penetration for the technology.

So if you want to get the word out, it seems art talks. And for High Technology’s LED solutions, it not only talks, it prays aloud. The congregation of a Russian church has now literally seen the light, since the company supplied 120 of its Quartet Uno fittings, incorporating LED technology from Xicato’s

Artist range.

Discussing the installation, Thomas Holgeth, joint managing director of High Technology Lighting, said: ‘The installation of our technology in the church in Russia was a particular high, and the new lighting looks fantastic.’

Lighting art is more usually undertaken in gallery conditions, which arguably makes the task simpler than the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. However, challenges a-plenty still faced lighting director, Franck Evin when he worked on Jonas Burgert’s latest show.

GALLERIES

These fixtures are a great investment for the gallery’

Berlin-based artist, Burgert likes to paint big, in bold colours, so to make the colours really stand out, Evin needed something to produce bright, vibrant, but well-balanced light, without the heat, which would typically be generated by traditional light sources.

After various tests with different fixtures, he decided on ETC Desire D22 Lustr+ arrays to create really full colour.

Evin pointed out that with traditional LED fixtures however, it would be difficult to achieve a balanced white. He explained: ‘Jonas is a specialist in mixing colours,

making them appear very dreamy. He is working with a new technique, with several different layers; that’s why they look so good with these lamps.

He loves them because it’s the first time you can really see the colours. It’s a different way to show the paintings.

‘These fixtures are a great investment for the gallery,’ he added. ‘We did a test with Selador D22s and traditional Source Four fixtures. But the D22s were smaller and lighter, and the light they produced was ideal for our needs.’

A

n LED lighting solution at Stroud’s Museum in the Park, has created a more vivid experience for visitors to the installation.

A combination of Xicato Artist Series LEDs installed in High Technology Lighting’s Quartet fittings have been specifically designed for gallery and museum settings, offering consistent levels of light while reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions and maintenance costs.

The Museum in the Park is situated in the grounds of Stratford Park, Gloucestershire, and its 4,000 paintings and exhibits, housed in a Grade II listed, 17th Century merchant’s mansion, tell the story of the area’s rich and diverse history. The site also boasts a purposebuilt art gallery, which offers a varied programme of exhibitions.

Kevin Ward, Museum development manager, explained the unexpected benefits of the new lighting: ‘We have a wonderful, large painting at the top of the mansion main stairs, of a view across Stroud from Rodborough, painted in around 1848. The new lighting means the sky now looks blue, and the clouds white, without any orange tinge.’

The project uses Quartet UNO fittings and accessories from High Technology Lighting, with Xicato LED technology to deliver superior aesthetics, economics and durability.

The Artist Series offers additional benefits for galleries and museums, through the development of two critical specifications. To minimise potential damage to pigments, the lamps have a limited output, of between 400 and 500nm, and to maximise visual 74 • F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 5 • www.tlmagazine.co.uk

appreciation, they feature a high Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of above 95, across all 15 CIE test colours.

When the museum received funding for the next stage in its upgrade programme, to build a Community Learning Pavilion in the Walled Garden, High Technology’s UNO170 Track Spots were the fitting of choice. The building offers a practical, flexible, space catering for a wide range of uses and activities, so the lighting selected need to reflect this.

As the Museum in the Park

continues to expand, so do its lighting requirements; a situation fully appreciated by High Technology Lighting’s agent, Rob Baldwin, of Total Lighting Control, who has helped to facilitate the projects by working closely with Stroud District Council.

The result: a specialised lighting solution that delivers on energy efficiency targets and visitor enjoyment, as well as offering a safe lit environment for precious works of art.

Taking Control of Lighting

By Jason Ng, Marketing Communications Specialist at Ex-Or

W

hat do caffeine, noise and lighting all have in common? Each one has a significant impact on how focused and productive we are in the office.

However, while the vast majority of companies take steps to ensure workers are not distracted by a noisy environment; lighting is one part of the office environment that is frequently overlooked.

First, the science bit. Data shows harsh or dim lighting, or workspaces solely lit by artificial means can stunt productivity levels in the workplace. A study by the American Psychological Association found poor lighting conditions can lead to worker cortisol levels significantly dropping, leading to higher levels of stress and feelings of being sleepy1. Furthermore, a study from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, showed participants with access to daylight were significantly more alert after a full day than those who were exposed to artificial light over the same period2.

82 • F E B R U A R Y 2 0 1 5 • www.tlmagazine.co.uk

Although many companies look to comply with regulations and align themselves with the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) LG series of lighting design guides, seen as a benchmark in the UK, others are shooting themselves in the foot – and potentially losing valuable hours every day – if they fail to optimise light levels for their staff.

The solution lies in leveraging modern technology and lighting design to create the best possible learning environment.

DAY L I G H T H A R V E S T I N G In an ideal world we would be able to get all work done during daylight hours, with ample natural light coming in through the window. Of course, there are a thousand reasons why this is a challenge; building layout, shift workers and, short winter days to name a few. Daylight harvesting is a solution that is used to offset the amount of artificial lighting needed to properly light a space.

By investing in lighting controls, which often involve the use of sensors, companies can dim or switch off artificial lighting automatically in response to daylight availability. This allows companies to ensure their employees aren’t exposed to high levels of artificial lighting throughout the day with the added bonus of reducing energy consumption.

Daylight harvesting systems need to be correctly designed for best results versus user comfort and ensuring the correct minimum illumination levels are met. Currently the best way to address this is to base daylight harvesting design and outcomes on Climate Based Daylight Modelling (CBDM) and Daylight Indexing (DI).

LIGHTING CONTROLS Lighting controls with features such as lens tilting, allow for installation and commissioning flexibility as the detection zone can be adjusted to accommodate location and pre-existing structures, such as HVAC vents or pipes. Additionally, high definition lenses with micro and

macro detection capabilities guarantee lighting is always on when required and more importantly, off when not. The sensors employed are sensitive enough to detect very small movements such as typing, thus allowing facility managers to set shorter time delays, further maximising energy savings.

Additionally, performance optics and corresponding software, which can help companies to adjust and tune lighting levels throughout a space or duplicate it throughout a building, help to quell worker unproductiveness by providing

the dual benefits of a comfortable and well lit environment as well as energy efficiency and cost savings. Moreover, it’s important that no work lighting environment is completely automated.

These solutions allow employees to further adjust lighting conditions to meet their need, for example if there is a presentation and lighting needs to be dimmed so participants can see the screen.

LO O K I N G A H E A D As a next step companies need to look to schools as an example of how they can help address and standardise lighting, ensuring the right lighting levels are implemented to ensure optimal worker productivity. The ATL, the union for education professionals across the United Kingdom, stipulates that any room used for teaching must be lit by natural and/or artificial light with 300 lux or more at any point on the work surface, usually appropriate in classrooms, libraries and halls. Additionally, the ATL also notes that Illumination must not be less than 500 lux where visually demanding tasks are carried out, for example, in laboratories.

Flex7 system installed in innovative new motorway services Flex7 lighting connection and control products were recently installed in unique new motorway services on the M5. Gloucester Services, operated by the Westmorland family is a £40m project, situated between junction 11a and 12, has no franchises, and focuses on sourcing everything locally.

Food is prepared by skilled chef’s onsite, with a farm shop selling local produce also on site.

The pre-fabricated, plug and play philosophy of the flex7 System allowed for quick and simple installation. Single Socket Outlets and eZeBox Extender Units were connected with pre-wired plugs to save time on site. flex7 eZeBox Units are 16A rated, 7-pole and are available in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 ways. The modular nature of the system means that changes can be made at any time, as and when user needs change.

Occupancy lighting controls were included in the WC areas. These ensure that lights will only remain on when needed.

Westmorland, the company behind the services place a great emphasis on connecting with the local community. Produce is sourced from 130 suppliers within a 30 mile radius of the site.

Warehouses DANLERS Batten Mount PIR Occupancy controls are the low cost and easy to fit energy saving solution for organisations demanding a reduction in their rising energy costs. They are ideal for switching lights off when not required and with energy savings of up to 50% the payback period is kept to a minimum. These UK manufactured, IP53 rated controls switch lighting loads of up to 10 amps (6A fluorescent) and are simply fixed to the end of a lighting batten.

New to the range are the ‘Batten Mount Spot Detection’ controls featuring a narrow (1.5m) zone of detection ideal for access points into storage aisles.

Additionally, the new ‘Batten Mount Reduced Height Detection’ controls are designed for areas with open grid flooring - where false triggering can occur through other levels. Variants for both controls are available offering either a ‘passive’ photocell or DANLERS radical ‘Intelligent’ photocell.

DANLERS ‘Intelligent’ photocell features a one touch calibration process that distinguishes the difference between the artificial light and the ambient light delivered to the photocell, resulting in further energy savings and minimising the risk of false triggering or ‘hunting.’

High quality ADC12 black aluminium housing with 4mm tempered glass ensures excellent outdoor performance with an IP65 rating. PIRs are IP54 rated and offer a sensing range of 8m.
