s we finally leave the dark days of winter behind, we’ve seen another bumper season for the lighting industry – arguably the busiest to date if what we’re hearing is correct.

It certainly seems that way here at TL, with a non-stop flow of new product technology and projects arriving at our offices.

The International Year of Light 2015 appears to have had a galvanising effect on a sector already in the ascendancy, which we all agree is fantastic news, and its importance to our energy efficient future has begun to filter through to Government circles too. As Tony Howells, senior policy advisor to the Department of Business Innovation and Skills recently pointed out at the opening of Integral’s LED lighting laboratory: ‘Lighting is everywhere, and combined with the cost savings available of 60 to 80 per cent that LED can offer, it is a total no brainer. Couple this with a requirement to become less reliant on coal-fired power stations, and in our critical need to match Government environmental targets - the LED lighting industry becomes one of the strategically important industrial sectors.’

Now I have a question: what’s happened to bayonet fittings?

I recently bought replacement LED bulbs at great expense for a specific room in my house, only to discover that each of the fittings they were earmarked for were bayonet-type, and I’d bought screw-in bulbs (should have checked – I know, I know).

I returned them to the store to exchange them, only to discover that they’re not made for bayonet fittings by the (insert global name here) brand I’d chosen – and neither were any of the other big names on display.

Has there been a seismic shift in the UK that I missed? I admit I did go away for a week or two last year, but I didn’t hear anything about an uprising from the masses who are now faced with changing all of the fittings in their homes. Or is it a ploy to get the great unwashed to buy new ones, I wonder?

Enjoy the month – I shall be spending my extra 2.6 minutes of daylight each day changing fittings….

Underwater highlight success

GM demonstrated the waterproof capabilities of its P-5 wash lights at the International Festival of Light in Moscow.

Fountain specialist, Aqua-Show was tasked with installing two lines of fountains and creating a 3D world of water for laser projection, and selected the powerful RGBW P-5s for the task.

Water show lighting designer and design engineer of the fountain system, Korzakov Anton, explained: ‘This is our first experience in using LED light for creating a wash effect on the water. Previously, we have not found such a fixture in our rental market, with this huge light output. All our previous attempts have been unsuccessful, and for many years we have only used conventional lights.’

The first of the fountain complexes was 18m long, equipped with 16 P-5s, and was installed on the stage, while the other was 52m long, used 26 P-5s, and was installed on a lake 30m behind the stage.

‘The lightweight P-5 influenced our decision, as well as the huge light output, but the main, and favourite feature is the IP65 rating, as they are exposed to water from the fountains and the fixtures had to work a full week in these conditions,’ explained Anton.

Lighting designer, Yury Krasilnikov undertook the entire grandiose event, comprising water, laser, and pyrotechnic shows, as well as artists and water performances, culminating in a beautiful fireworks display.

Durham does it again Lumiere, the UK’s largest outdoor light festival, is returning to Durham for the fourth time from 12-15 November 2015.

It brings together innovative artists and lighting designers in a programme that is as thought provoking as it is spectacular. Artists are invited to respond to Durham’s urban architecture with site-specific work that will transform the nocturnal landscape and challenge perceptions of what can be achieved through the

medium of light.

Created by Artichoke, Lumiere is commissioned by Durham County Council and receives additional support from Arts Council England and its sponsors.

Since its inception in 2009, Lumiere has become a landmark event in the North East cultural calendar, attracting more than 175,000 visitors in 2013. It is much more than a four-day biennial: in the months leading up to each festival, Lumiere

engages with hundreds of school children and community groups, working on projects in preparation for the event. In 2013, these included sessions in schools about the charity campaign, Litre of Light, a Philippinesbased project bringing light into homes without electricity.

The Other Side of the Wall, a project with all four prisons in County Durham, involved 100 prisoners whose work was exhibited at Durham Cathedral.

Exporting success Chelsom has been selected as one of the 2015-16 Export Champions for UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) North West.

The programme, now in its third successful year, involves recruiting successful international firms to help new companies on their export journey, offering peer-to-peer support and individually tailored professional services available from the UKTI team.

Export manager, Jon Shaw said: ‘Being appointed as 2015 Export Champion for UKTI is undoubtedly a huge honour, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to start the New Year.

‘As a company we have put a lot of effort in to bolstering our export division in recent years, and have worked closely with UKTI to help maximise our international trading capabilities. Their advice, coupled with the tools they have provided, has been invaluable, so this is a great opportunity to give something back, and to hopefully inspire non-exporters to get started, and encourage new exporters to do more by promoting the benefits of export via our own successes, along with sharing our knowledge and experience.’

A China comes to Brent? an opportunity exists to build a Shenzhen-style technology hub in London’

t its 25th anniversary event, Integral Memory has called for increased support for energy saving products, which are researched, developed, and manufactured in the UK. According to MD, Sunil Kotecha: ‘An opportunity exists to build a Shenzhen-style technology hub in Brent, North West London, based on the demand for innovative energy saving lamps that are replacing other forms of lighting in homes and throughout industry.’

The event was supported by the Rt Hon Greg Clark MP, Minister for Universities, Science, and Cities, who opened a new LED lighting laboratory facility, part of a package of new investment planned by the company to meet growing demand.

He acknowledged Integral’s achievement of staying at the top of a fast moving technology market, saying: ‘The future demand for energy saving lighting is a key growth sector that both rewards the customer with lower energy bills, whilst providing energy savings and helping our ability to achieve lower carbon emission targets.’

Speakers called for more investment to provide the essential training and skills required to meet the challenge of the global green technology market.‘As a Government, we have a responsibility to companies like Integral, to ensure that the skills are

Our strength as a country is in our ability to innovate. Hence the key to our future lies in nurturing the talent within our universities, and attracting them to fast growing market sectors like LED lighting,’ he concluded.

WP has announced plans to distribute Philips’ Imaginative Lighting range as well as the 3DLightFX brand in the UK & Ireland.

The unusual designs of 3DLightFX’s wall deco lights have taken the US by storm, and JWP hopes to do the same here.

New within the Philips range are the Marvel Hulk Fist, Thor Hammer, Captain America Shield, Spiderman Mask, and Iron Man Mask - all now available in the UK. In addition to the Marvel characters, JWP will also be distributing Wild Walls wall lights, and Frozen string light vines, with eight designs featuring Frozen characters and colour fading snowflakes.

The wall lights, which include Little Mermaid, Cars, Iron Man, and Spiderman characters, project light onto the wall that

gently fades in and out, with sound effects and synchronised lights to really bring the scene to life.

Steve Clarke, UK & Ireland sales manager, 3DLightFX commented: ‘We are delighted to be able to bring these great products over to the UK. They really are fantastic lights, and different to anything out there on the market. With the recent Frozen, Spiderman,

Avengers Assemble, and Thor movies all proving to be a success, we think the wall lights will fly off the shelves. ‘Who wouldn’t want Iron Man protecting them whilst they sleep?’

According to the company, all of the products are tested by the company’s most discerning critics - its designers and children.

Holograms for lighting

Bespoke lighting – bespoke site Atrium has updated its online portal, to offer a comprehensive resource and interactive destination for specifiers.

The new site presents a contemporary showcase for Atrium’s case studies, and its collection of products. It was developed to deliver a more visual user experience, highlighting the portfolio of lighting brands, which include Flos, LTS, Modular, Buschfeld, and most recently, Grupo MCI and Sattler.

The site showcases Atrium’s case studies, which demonstrate bespoke lighting solutions across retail, residential, and commercial sectors.

It also offers a platform for Atrium’s industry accreditations and awards, cementing the company’s presence within the industry.

A key element to the new site was to ensure that social media was clearly

visible, encouraging visitors to engage and interact with the various online channels. This component supports Atrium’s desire to harness digital content alongside its physical presence, allowing the website to evolve in tandem with the company’s growth.

Managing director, Ulysse Dormoy said: ‘One of the main priorities for Atrium was to develop a website that offered our clients a fully functional specification/ resource platform, and the new site has allowed us to achieve this.

‘We are fortunate to be working with some of the most innovative brands in the European lighting sector, as well as working on truly inspirational projects.

The website allows us to demonstrate our very close relationship and commitment to the architecture and design community.’

The hologram industry is expected to see substantial growth in the production of holographic optical elements (HOEs) for use in lighting, as well as for general lighting control.

Ian Lancaster, general secretary of the International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA), says his industry is meeting end-user needs, due to the technology’s adaptability, and capacity to push the boundaries of innovation, and add value.

Turning to HOEs, which take advantage of holograms’ ability to control light, the growth of LEDs is stimulating the adoption of holograms to provide better control of their emitted light.

They are being used to diffuse and ‘smooth’ the light from arrays of LEDs, which are now being used in display and domestic environments, while they are also being used to focus and shape the light.

Similarly, with LEDs in use as rear vehicle lights and brake lights, HOEs are also being used to enhance the emitted light. They also have an important role in vehicle instrumentation, and improving the image on small and large format LCD and OLED displays.

obe Lighting has launched a wholly owned subsidiary, Robe Lighting France.

The company will be headed by MD, Bruno Garros, a familiar face in the French professional entertainment lighting market, alongside Elie Battah, who, as business development manager for France, will spearhead the parent company’s business plan.

Garros said: ‘I am extremely excited to be joining Robe. The brand’s success in recent years has been truly impressive together with Robe’s reputation for innovation and zeal for the future. I see great potential for success in this proactive, client-centric business model and look forward to being part of the team.’

Also on the team will be Ingo Dombrowski, key account manager, Europe, who has already been active in the territory for several years, and international sales director, Harry von den Stemmen, co-ordinator of Robe’s global sales operation, who commented: ‘We are delighted to

have someone of Bruno’s calibre onboard. He is a great communicator with extensive knowledge and experience in the world of moving lights.

With a dedicated sales and support operation now fully focused on France, we look forward to growing our business and visibility in this key European market.’

The subsidiary is part of Robe’s planned medium-term expansion strategy, and follows robust trading worldwide in recent years.

Robe Lighting France joins four other highly successful fully Robe-owned operations worldwide - in the UK, US, UAE, and Singapore.

Josef Valchar, CEO of Robe Lighting said: ‘We welcome Bruno to the Robe family, and look forward to a long and successful working relationship based on a combination of personality and reputation, plus a full range of highly versatile, quality, next-generation products suitable for the large and dynamic range of entertainment industry sectors in France.’

Sound advice The new Professional Lighting Guide 05 (PLG 05): Brightness of Illuminated Advertisements, has just been launched by the ILP. It incorporates all recent changes in Planning regulations, and now covers media screens and facades, a new development since the last guide.

An indispensable reference for people working with all illuminated signs, other than traffic signs, it incorporates revisions introduced with the 2007 Planning regulations – Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England), which introduced a new set of definitions for advertisements, as well as new luminance limits.

PLG 05 focuses on advice for the consequences of changing technology, namely that self-luminous signs require high

16 • M A R C H 2 0 1 5 • www.tlmagazine.co.uk

luminance levels for visibility in daylight.

Although higher levels are required the daytime luminance limit is now set at 5000cd/ sqm. Overall, the procedure for measuring luminance has been updated and there are now recommendations for the number and location of points to be measured based on the formula used in several European Lighting Standards.

The guide also makes recommendations to control the use of video and rapid image changing, where there could be a potential hazard, for example near moving traffic.

In summary, the guide provides up-to-date advice on issues related to planning, testing and maintenance of illuminated advertisements and is a must-have document for anyone who is responsible for any aspect of work in this area.

Friends across the pond Megaman has announced a partnership with Contech Lighting as the exclusive distributor of its branded products and lighting solutions throughout the US and Canada.

Contech has a strong, and well-established distribution network, and is recognised by designers for providing reliable, high performance products, and market expertise.

As Megaman’s official distribution partner, the company will be responsible for increasing sales for the full range of branded energy efficient LED technology.

Fred Bass, MD of Neonlite International, brand owner of Megaman commented: ‘We’re delighted to be expanding in America. Contech Lighting is seen as an ideal partner for us, because our technology is developed with designers in mind.

‘With a strong heritage in applications such as grocery, fashion, hospitality, interior design, jewellery, and car showrooms, our partnership will be key in developing the business in these exciting sectors still further.’

John Ranshaw, President and CEO of Contech Lighting added: ‘There is a tremendous opportunity for growth of a high performance LED lamp family, with our unique customer-centric distribution model in North America. Our customer base of designers and specifiers is looking for LED lamps that offer peace of mind, that the technology they specify is going to look good, be simple to install, and is reliable.

They also want a guarantee that the end user will receive the benefits they expect in terms of aesthetics, efficiency, sustainability and colour rendition. Megaman technology delivers in all these areas.’

The distribution agreement is effective immediately.

Eventually I got involved in the creative side, and I was hooked.

You work across different genres – interior and exterior, private residences as well as commercial projects. Do you have to approach them differently, and what are the main challenges of working in so many diverse areas?

ORSMAN: Residential clients quite often have seen what we can create, so we can be left to our own devices.

But the successful project is one where a lot of interaction between client and design team occurs. On the commercial and retail side, we really try to understand each client, and help them create the best environment that, at the same time, is aligned with their brand, and the message they are trying to convey.

Landscape lighting varies between geographies – different species of trees and plants – and requires subtle differences in approach.

Can you explain how you approach each commission?

Y

ou were born and grew up in Australia – can you share a little of your background, and whether your decision to study lighting design was influenced by your family/childhood?

NATHAN ORSMAN: I have always been mechanically minded. I really enjoy breaking things down with a mathematical focus. I do believe there is a correlation of my thought process then to how I think now.

Where, and what did you study?

ORSMAN: My areas of study were from a typical ‘large corporation’ perspective – finance and computer oriented. Far less creative from what I eventually evolved my career into…

When did you know that a career in lighting design was for you? Was your career pre-planned or, as is sometimes the case, a happy accident?

20 • M A R C H 2 0 1 5 • www.tlmagazine.co.uk

ORSMAN: With as much information as possible before commencing work on a design!

The primary components are plans, RCPs, elevations, furniture plans, art locations, fixture programs (retail), and renderings - if we are lucky. The initial client meeting is crucial to understand intent, what is needed, and what further value we can add operationally and aesthetically.

Do you work essentially alone, or with a team of designers?

ORSMAN: I work with a team of supertalented individuals, but the primary design comes from me. It is always a group effort, but I am always heavily involved.

A particular feature of your work is your ability to sculpt with light. Can you explain how you do that?

ORSMAN: Well I can’t give all of the secrets away!

The best way to describe this is understanding the use of the negative; the subtle interplay between light and dark.

Concerning the retail projects you’ve worked on, what do you think is the most important part of designing a lighting scheme for a retail interior? And is that always the same, regardless of the client?

PEOPLE ORSMAN: Give them the flexibility to alter and adjust for change.

Is it more challenging to light a small store, or a giant? Why? ORSMAN: A small store is more challenging, because they are far more intricate environments, and more difficult to compose a lighting design with layers and visual interest.

It is always difficult to operate within a small box.

What is your favourite project to date?

And which one got away that you would have most liked to work on?

ORSMAN: Favourite: a private client who I adored working with, who appreciates and enjoys the work we did. We created truly magical environments at their properties in Millbrook, NY, and St. Barths.

There is one that got away at the beginning of my career, that still resonates with me. I think about it often. It was an institutional project in Chicago….

When did you launch Orsman Design, and what was your first job after graduating?

ORSMAN: Six years ago. My first job was for the Australian Stock Exchange in the IT department!

What is the most fascinating aspect of designing with light for you?

ORSMAN: I get to constantly see the results of my work.

This type of lighting is permanent, whether in a landmarked building, a retail space, or a private residence.

dim to warm. The replication of those technologies is something that I am interested in seeing developed.

What’s your feeling on LED adoption in the retail sector? In the UK at least, take up seems slower than we may have expected, given the potential benefits. Is it the same in the US, and what can be done to push the technology through in order to save energy?

ORSMAN: In the US, there is much more pressure to use LED and high efficiency, high efficacy products, which tends to be driven by the energy code compliance. It is very well adopted here and we are not doing any projects without their use.

Are you always commissioned early enough in a project in your opinion, and do you ever find yourself having to compromise more than you’d like, because a project has advanced too far before lighting has been considered?

ORSMAN: I feel that we are brought on at the correct time, more and more. People in general are changing the way they understand its importance at the early stages of design. We often compromise on certain things, but if the compromise is too great, I do not feel satisfied with what will be created, and the project is not in alignment with the firm, then we will turn away that type of business.

What upcoming lighting technology excites you?

ORSMAN: Dim-to-warm lighting technology – especially in residential applications. LEDs dim, but at the

ORSMAN: I am more partial to stronger, more abstract and contemporary pieces; Julian Opie comes to mind.

What’s on the agenda for the first half of 2015?

ORSMAN: We have a lot going on this year: highlights include a retail store for a French company on Madison Avenue in Manhattan; two large compounds in Jupiter, FL; a six-storey apartment in Manhattan; a double combined townhouse; a private family compound in Maine and Montecito; an old-school Greenwich, CT estate on the water; and a full-floor apartment in Miami!

Without the aid of a crystal ball, where do you see yourself in ten years’ time?

ORSMAN: Running an even stronger practice that is creative, yet frees up some of my time, so I can have my own study studio that will give me the ability to create and play with light.

When are you happiest?

ORSMAN: In a design meeting on the creative end, and on site at night.

What do you do for fun?

ORSMAN: A little escape here and there to the country; a crazy Soul Cycle workout with my husband; time in the Hamptons by the pool with friends… .

The initial client meeting is crucial to understand intent, what is needed, and what further value we can add operationally and aesthetically’ What is your favourite light source, and why?

ORSMAN: Although I do not use them that often, the AR1LL, with a very tight beam spread, is my favourite. I love the softness and the poignancy it can create.

The LED has become hugely popular in a relatively short timescale. While we all accept there are still occasional bugs to be ironed out, do you believe it is now the light source of choice for all applications, or is there still room in the world for less efficient but maybe more suitable technologies?

ORSMAN: I agree with this. Colour is everything in this business. We still recognise the innate attraction we have to filament bulbs and halogen as they

same colour. Dim-to-warm changes colour and mimics traditional technology.

Is there such a thing as an average day for you, and can you provide an insight into your day-to-day working life?

ORSMAN: [Laughs] My days start early, but in lighting, it ends late…

Do you have a one-to-watch from the next generation of lighting design talent?

ORSMAN: I’m damn there right now! Or at least I am hoping. Call me in 20 years…

Pushing the boundaries The industry’s industry specialist, Brendon Airey looks at the evolution of the 600 x 600 lay-in module

24 • M A R C H 2 0 1 5 • www.tlmagazine.co.uk

ood luminaires stand the test of time. And the 600 x 600 lay-in module is one of the highest selling products for commercial lighting.

We have all been into buildings where they are extensively used, and wouldn’t even notice, as they are an integral part of the building.

As time has moved on, we have progressed from T12 to T8, then from switch start to electronic start. And we have since gone down the route of T5. However we’ve never abolished the Cat2 diffuser that has been specified in office buildings, since forever and a day.

Now we have the introduction of low glare LED panels: they have upset the lighting market to such an extent that the traditional fluorescent lights have stopped selling. And got rid of those nasty, dusty old Cat2 diffusers too.

But it doesn’t stop there. When LED panels were first introduced, Philips’ Coreview was successful with 50 watts worth of LEDs. At LightSense, we are pushing the boundaries of efficacy; currently at 32 watts of LEDs (and the nearest competitor currently at 34 watts).

We are definitely improving the efficacy, so do we need to take things still further? I believe we do! We should be looking at power factor, trimming and dimming.

Smart lighting is only smart if the client knows how to implement the ‘smart’ bit. But costs need to be considered. I have seen 600 x 600 modules, with in-built sensors, and control systems that link to your mobile phone to give you a humancentric experience (whatever that is these days). So let’s just look at the fundamental reason why we need lighting in our offices: most offices cannot rely on daylight, as the walls and ceilings block out the light.

We need to utilise artificial light to ensure we can work, and move around buildings safely. For example, in an open office, the desks need to be lit to approximately 300-500lx - depending on the task being undertaken. However, do the open walkways need to be lit to the same level?

According to LG7, we need 150 lux in our walkways. This is difficult, as some clients want the ceiling to look symmetrical and have equal spacing throughout, plus they might decide to change the layout of the desks in the future.

Therefore having smart lighting is a pre-requisite. But implementing change can be trickier than you think, for the price you’re prepared to pay. Electrical contractors cannot always commission a Dali system to dim specific lights up and down. There are also other things to consider when carrying out electrical installations, such as how constant dimming will affect the power factor. So to eliminate the issue, some companies use a variable driver.

These drivers can be dimmed, but also trimmed according to the maximum light levels required, meaning they no longer cause problems with the power factor, or with future adjustment; and it can be carried out easily by the installing electrician, or maintenance engineer.

So 600 x 600 lighting products have evolved. They will remain in our ceilings for years to come, and the new wave of LED panels have reset the precedence.

What will the next phase of LED lighting do to the 600 x 600 module?

Smart lighting is only smart if the client knows how to implement the ‘smart’ bit’

Turning heads The Delight in Light finalists’ work takes centre stage

A

helping hand has been extended to five finalists in the national student lighting competition, Delight in Light, by Holloways of Ludlow.

The company has agreed to showcase the five finalists’ lighting designs in its contemporary lighting showroom during the month of March 2015.

The display of the student’s designs will form part of a series of events for Holloways of Ludlow’s thirtieth anniversary celebrations.

Support of the finalists reflects owner, Mark Holloway’s personal passion and commitment to supporting talented young British designers, as each of the finalist designs will be also profiled on the company website, and selected lights will be available to buy in store, during the period of display.

Alison Smith, a BA (Hons) Decorative Arts student from Nottingham Trent University succeeded in becoming one of the finalist designers with her Geometric Pendants design.

Her striking pendants have been designed for bespoke city

interiors, supporting the current geometric trends.

The lights have been inspired by the concept of perspective, from exterior architecture, and how structure and form play an extremely important role through city buildings.

They are ideally displayed in clusters of five fittings, and are a focal piece to be admired throughout public spaces portraying beauty, power and strength within the design.

Contemporary Crafts graduate, Becky Creed, from Falmouth University, turned the judge’s heads with her hand-made Turned Paper Lighting collection made from paper and cardboard.

Creed used hundreds of sheets of recycled and handdyed paper, which is layered and laminated resulting in a solid material that could be shaped and turned into colourful pendant lights or lamp bases.

Her use of recycled materials replaces what would commonly be wood, metal, plastic or ceramic in the lighting industry.

Kate Caven’s striking design also caught the eye of the on-line voters and judging panel, with her aesthetically pleasing mood light Fortryllet.

A BA (Hons) Product Design student from Edinburgh Napier University, Caven created the design using sand blasted acrylic components, and

arranged them in a 360-degree traditional lamp form.

Fortryllet provides the user with a positive experience through the use of the colours, and the hidden story seen within the eight beautifully intricate scenes that are linked with three easy assembly clips.

Andrea Vargas an MA Art and Design Practice student from Bucks New University will present her Corde chandelier within the showroom window.

The design is a playful spin on a traditional chandelier. The sustainable, bold-coloured fitting, made from an up-cycled climbing rope that has been cut, and had wire inserted in it, before being hardened to a chandelier-inspired shape, would suit an indoor space that needs a statement fitting with a warm personality.

The eye-catching design features five LED lamps.

Finally, Oliver Hammond, a BA Furniture and Product Design student from Nottingham Trent University, will display his contemporary table lamp design Mantis, which uses a clever tie-off system on the cord to provide variable angles of light, dependent on the task or atmosphere.

Inspired by modern architecture, Mantis has a textured surface with a contrasting walnut and brass structure.

One for the professionals Elena Filatova, director of development at Moscow-based AtomSvet, explains the payout calculation used for specifying LED luminaires

O

ne of the current trends with the most promising prospects is the use of LED technologies.

Although the initial cost of a LED luminaire is higher than the initial cost of similar products (incandescent, fluorescent, or other gas-discharge light sources), its usage is advantageous, and results in considerable reduction of costs for energy, and maintenance of equipment.

Let’s consider the advantages of luminaires based on LED technology, over the regular ones in greater detail:

Advantages of LED lighting • Energy efficiency. Power consumption of LED luminaires is several times lower than the power consumption of luminaires with traditional lamps, thus they allow significant cost reductions

Advantages of LED lighting As we can see, the advantages of luminaires based on LED technology fully justify their high cost. But every owner of a business enterprise can, and should, find out if the use of LEDs suits their business.

To accomplish this, manufacturers can render the service on payout calculation of LED luminaires, free for their customers.

Payout calculation services You can do this calculation yourself, using DIALux software, but to do so, you must possess certain technical information. It’s preferable to order the accurate calculation of LED lighting from the professionals.

Within the framework of industrial lighting, our specialists will calculate total capacity, and individual capacity of each LED luminaire, norms for exterior and interior lighting, technical qualities of the luminaires, their specifications, and choose the optimal lighting system.

The requirements for quality illumination of the premises are directly dependent on the specificity of the client’s object; that’s why it is not unreasonable to carry out lighting calculations and feasibility studies for each specific case.

• Short payback period. Depending on the operating mode, it ranges from one to three years • High degree of protection. Provides excellent protection of luminaires from the aggressive action of the environment • High efficiency. LED luminaires are able to work, even in unstable electrical networks • Power factor of at least 0.98 per cent. The higher this index, the lower the energy loss • Ability to light instantaneously • Perfect luminous efficiency • High CRI, and absence of flicker • Protection of LEDs from vibration • Long service life (minimum 50,000 hours)

FIG.1 Fictional light spread using luminaires with mercury arc lamps

FIG.2 Fictional light spread using LED luminaires

Let’s consider the economic benefit of transition to LED luminaires for illuminating the shop floor of a manufacturing plant with the illumination intensity of 400lx, and dimensions: L 70m x W 30m x H10m. 100 luminaires with 400W mercury arc lamps were used for illumination of the shop floor.

(Figure 1. Fictional light spread using luminaires with mercury arc lamps).

The same illumination intensity indexes, and indexes of uniformity of illumination, may be reached with the use of 100 AtomSvet Plant 02-100-13600-140 (30) LED luminaires.

The payout calculation of the transition to LED lighting of the manufacturing plant shop floor is provided in the table (right): (Figure 3. Comparison of cost of ownership of LED luminaires, vs luminaires with mercury arc lamps).

Additionally, labour and financial resources will be saved during the replacement of the lamps, as well as costs related to storage and disposal of the waste lamps.

In summary, the transition to LED illumination is really advantageous. To receive a numerical representation of these advantages, you can always apply to the professionals for help, and order the payout calculation service.

he design hotel, IZB Residence Campus at Home, with its incisive design, forms the striking centerpiece of the Martinsried Life Science Campus in Munich.

The tower residence, which houses a faculty club, serving as a meeting place for scientists from the surrounding research facilities and their international guests, was designed by Stark Architekten, Munich, and the entire project has been comprehensively lit by Occhio.

The concept of the IZB Residence is unparalleled: the Campus Tower forms the communicative focus of the Martinsried Campus, and its special architecture makes it an unmistakable landmark.

The solitary 27-metre high building stands above the functional campus buildings – an elegant seven-story building, its glass front embraced by white aluminum strips, as it rises from a triangular floor plan.

Inside, the central theme is flowing space too: the diverse areas of usable space flow into each other on all levels. The lighting concept

by Occhio pursues this principle of connection: architecture, interior design, and lighting blend, thanks to the comprehensive design.

Munich’s new IZB Residence Campus at Home welcomes the scientific community Once inside…

In the reception area and restaurant on the ground floor, the visitor experiences the skilled continuation of the dynamics of the facade: the dark suspended and decorative ceiling wells, playfully mirror the curved design. They also assume the function of a chain, onto which the surface-mounted Più alto spotlights are threaded. The rhythmic arrangement of the spotlights and luminaires enables targeted lighting of the individual zones, and at the same time guides the visitor through the rooms.

Guest rooms are sited on the first to sixth floors: six suites, twelve junior suites, and 24 rooms, in which the diverse areas of usable space are seamlessly interconnected, and equipped with universal lighting. The

workspaces are lit by a Sento tavolo table luminaire, the sitting area by a Sento lettura floor luminaire, and the headboard by a Sento letto wall fitting, and a Sento filo suspended low – all utilising LED technology.

In the corridors, Duna shape spotlights mark access to the lift. At the same time they form a symbolic ‘tree trunk’ through the entire building, up to the top story where the centerpiece is to be found: the Faculty Club G2B (Gateway to Biotech), a 170 squaremetre club room with modern furnishings and a view of the Alps. It is meant to serve as a place of communication, and for the interdisciplinary interlocking of people and their ideas.

The open plan design of the club, which covers the entire level, is divided into different function areas: the spacious bar area creates an inviting atmosphere for discussion, with high seating elements providing a private framework for gatherings; a separate private dining area is available for business meals.

Duna shape spotlights trail across the ceiling – apparently randomly arranged – providing functional lighting for the diverse areas, and echoing the principle of the melding of architecture and lighting. www.tlmagazine.co.uk • M A R C H 2 0 1 5 • 35

EasiLume gives Balfour Beatty’s warehouse a new lease of life In September Balfour Beatty completed the Fit-out of its 1800 square metre warehouse and attached office, in derby. EasiLume provided the LED lighting design and products for the project.

EasiLume’s High Bay LED lighting was used for the bulk of the warehouse lighting, along with a series of LED strip lights. The strip lights were used to compliment the LED high bay lighting in the main warehouse, and provide full coverage in the lower ceiling areas. For the office EasiLume’s LED panels were used, a like-for-like replacement of the previous fixtures.

The warehouse and office now look bright and modern. They’ve been given a new lease of life by the refurbishment. As EasiLume Sales Manager Stuart Dixon explains: “Before the refurb the warehouse was gloomy and dull. Making the relatively small change of upgrading to LED lighting has made a huge difference.

“Not only does the lighting look great, it also saves money on energy and maintenance bills. EasiLume’s LED is more energy efficient than their halogen and fluorescent equivalents saving up to 60% on electricity bills throughout their 60,000 hour lifetime. This makes the investing in LED a great strategic choice.”

Winter T wonderland

In celebration of lighting, winter, and talent...

his winter has seen a glut of light festivals around the world, with many here in the UK. The designers who’ve worked so hard to create these events have gone to extraordinary lengths to bring a taste of the magic of light to a wide, and very appreciative, audience.

If you haven’t had the chance to experience one or more personally during the winter, this is for you….

Winter Sun

King’s Cross, London Winter Sun, described as a hearth-like installation, was inspired by the need for light in the darkness of winter: gathering people together in a temporary structure of ever-changing light.

Commissioned by King’s Cross, the collaboration between artists, James Bowthorpe and Kim Coleman, with architect Andrew Lock, has produced a circular structure that stands among the trees in Granary Square.

The endlessly dimming and brightening social space is encircled by twelve glowing ‘suns’, emulating natural light. Some approximate daylight, while others continuously simulate daybreak, and those in darkened corridors – like moons – are illuminated using recorded light from around the structure projected, back into the space.

Lyon Light Festival France

Lyon wowed the French crowds with Incandescence, a temporary installation created using giant inflatable LED light bulbs of all shapes and sizes.

The 140m-long display marked the starting point for visitors to the festival. Incandesv cence is the combination of an industrial and artistic creation between lighting balloon manufacturer, Airstar and local artist, Séverine Fontaine of Compagnie IKB, in collaboration with Philips and SEET Europole. Nine giant bulbs were installed in a pond, including a colossal 10m high incandescent replica. The inflatable envelope (cap included) was made of technical polymer to mimic glass, and to show the 2,000 RGBW LED light sources inside.

Marburg Germany

Marburg b(u)y Night is a city initiative intended to bring a special holiday atmosphere to the town centre throughout December. Now in its ninth year, the event highlights, with colour and light, the distinctive character of modern and traditional buildings, of squares and bridges. There is also an interactive aspect to the project, as visitors can participate in lighting activities organised in front of the lecture hall, and in local playgrounds.

St Elizabeth’s Church, one of the earliest Gothic edifices in Germany, featured saturated colours to bring a magical dimension to the interior, while gobo projections flooded the ceiling above the altar.

South Wales Residents and visitors enjoyed a specially commissioned visual spectacle created by The Projection Studio across the front of the municipal library building in King Square in the run up to Christmas.

Creative director Ross Ashton designed the projection system to cover the front of the library with impressive 50m-wide images.

Ashton introduced plenty of humour, attitude, and entertainment to the show, including a splendid fire-breathing red dragon, sledging penguins, dancing gingerbread figures, and an ice fairy, in the lively, colourful and action-packed show.

The

ONE An LED lighting scheme for Hong Kong’s tallest retail complex

P

erched on the 18th floor of Hong Kong’s highest shopping mall, The One is a three-in-one dining experience, created by Chinese actress, Carina Lau, together with Aedas Interior’s award-winning designer, Ira Imerlishvili, whose signature resort and hotel projects span five continents.

Taking inspiration from as far afield as Kyoto and Barcelona, two of the three restaurants offer fine dining experiences, while the third is a glamorous tapas and sangria bar.

Each of the venues has been designed to relect the country they represent; the lighting, designed by Peter Veale and his team at UK consultancy, Firefly Lighting

Design, creates an individual look and feel to each of the three spaces, yet uses only two types of LED lamp in the various fittings.

Peter Veale commented: ‘It was extremely important to use lighting to create three very different dining experiences, and yet have a consistency to the scheme that tied them together.

‘As all three restaurants have floorto-ceiling glazed expanses, that deliver dramatic views across Victoria Harbour, in common, we chose to unify them with concealed lines of light along the blinds, and by using only two types of Megaman LEDs throughout, were able to keep the colour temperature consistent as well.’

Spotlight on fine dining Zurriola, the Spanish-inspired fine dining experience uses large-scale works of art to create drama, and bring the vitality of Barcelona to its diners.

As well as accenting these pieces, Firefly decided to make a feature of Zurriola’s floor-to-ceiling wine display.

Using Megaman’s 10W LED AR111 lamp technology to light the artwork, Firefly selected the company’s 8W MR16 28° and 36° narrow beamed LED reflector lamps to highlight the bottle labels in the wine racks.

The end result is a sophisticated lighting scheme that brings drama to Zurriola, without causing residual glare for the seated diners.

A taste of the Orient Kyo-Shun, the Japanese restaurant specialises in Kaiseki cuisine - a traditional multi-course Japanese meal.

The space has been designed to include a main dining area, that overlooks an outdoor Japanese garden, as well as a sushi bar and teppanyaki tables.

The lighting within the space is a mix of functional and dramatic. Using the same 10W AR111 and 8W MR16 lamps, Firefly has incorporated integral lighting through edge-lit glass walls. Additionally, the technique of wall grazing - dispersing light across vertical surfaces - has been used throughout, creating particular drama on the lowered ceiling in the teppanyaki dining area.

From siesta to sunrise The Tapagria tapas and sangria bar is used as a dining destination during the week, and then transformed into a nightclub at weekends.

Designed using tailored timber interiors to complement the Spanish chef’s authentic cooking style, this dramatic scheme is all about contrast. The feature walls have been lit using AR111 lamps, to create the illusion of an animated water effect, for a vibrant nightclub vibe.

52 • M A R C H 2 0 1 5 • www.tlmagazine.co.uk

Making connections Indirect lighting has been used to connect the three restaurants: concealed lines of AR111 lamps have been run along the wall and ceiling panels throughout the corridor that connects the three restaurants and restrooms to the main lift.

The only direct lighting in this space is used to highlight the names of each restaurant.

The AR111 and MR16 LED reflectors are ideal for use in locations that have long operating hours, as incorporated technology uses a heat drain design across the reflectors, to allow efficient dissipation of heat and prevent deterioration of the LED and other components. In addition, with their linear dimming function, the reflectors allow designers to maximise savings, by incorporating them into a lighting control solution that manages artificial and natural light, as well as creating a variety of preprogrammed scenes.

With its creative approach to lighting, Firefly has created a stunningly lit range of eating experiences that maximise drama, yet minimise maintenance and energy costs. As well as being one of the places to eat in Hong Kong, by choosing Megaman LED lamp technology, The One’s three restaurants are set to deliver estimated savings of £4,040 (€5100) in electricity costs, and 37,827kg in CO2 emissions per year.

A change in ceiling height at the rear delineates the ‘dining’ area. Here leather banquette seating and Frome inset wall lights from Tinsmiths add warmth.

At night, lighting is dimmed right down, and candles added to further change the mood for relaxed dining.

Innovative LED shoe displays at Covent Garden’s Galeria Melissa retail store

M

J Lighting has created an inventive lighting scheme using Applelec’s LED Light Sheet for the Galeria Melissa store in Covent Garden, London.

Reknowned for its sweet fragranced plastic shoes, the Brazilian Melissa brand began in 1979, with creative director, and head of research and development, Edson Matsuo, and has now sold more than 50 million pairs of shoes worldwide.

With flagship stores in New York and Sao Paolo, Galeria Melissa London becomes the third galeria to open worldwide; each shop revolutionises store design by creating a cultural space, which is a platform for exciting art installations – and of course for selling Melissa merchandise.

The imaginative store concept was devised

by Brazilian designer, Muti Randolph, and brought to life by architectural and retail design practice, IDL. MJ Lighting was tasked with providing lighting solutions for the ambitious in-store art installations.

The Covent Garden outlet features a number of art installations inspired by light, movement and colour. As shoppers enter the store, they are greeted with a kinetic installation formed of 21 illuminated acrylic shoeboxes. In each box sits one of the iconic plastic shoes, illuminated by Applelec’s LED Light Sheet, which is built into the roof of the box. The shoeboxes hang from the ceiling, each moving independently, through an integrated Rako solution, to an eclectic soundtrack.

In the largest space is an impressive U-shaped sculpture, the tunnel wall. This wall features a rigid formation of 64 apertures covered in a layer of mirrored glass. Behind the glass are 64 display cases housing a range of Melissa shoes, each box clad with Corian, and illuminated from inside using LED Light Sheet, once again built into the roof of each box. MJ Lighting’s newly launched Flex Wave was used to depict the clean line of each aperture.

Discussing the project, Mathew Inett of MJ Lighting said: ‘LED Light Sheet gave us the flexibility, effect, and uniformity we needed for such a forward thinking brand’.

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 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.

Future-gazing Peter van der Kolk, newly installed CEO at John Cullen Lighting, and a widely respected figure at the forefront of lighting technology, explains how he believes advances in LED lighting and technology will affect our everyday lives Energy efficiency will continue to increase

Lighting our homes in a different way

Over the last few years LEDs have already gone from producing 90 lumens per Watt (lm/W) to 140 lm/W and the future will see that trend continuing.

Traditionally, people have placed lights uniformly around their home – often in symmetrical grids – without really thinking about where light is actually needed. With the tremendous flexibility that LEDs offer, coupled with them becoming smaller, people will increasingly choose different lights for different tasks, and position them exactly where they are needed.

is more standardisation and greater economies of scale. However, improved efficiency and a longer lamp lifetime will help to offset any rise in the cost of lighting. As LEDs have got smaller, they have also become easier and cheaper to install, so it is important to consider the overall cost of lighting – not just energy efficiency.

Within five years, improved reliability and making lights easy to install and control will also reduce costs.

Greater standardisation and compatibility

Improved quality of light and new opportunities for design

SMART lighting is already on the way The demand for SMART lighting (lighting which can be easily controlled wirelessly) is growing very quickly. In five years’ time, intuitive SMART control systems will ‘know’ who is in a room, by recognising their smartphone for example, and automatically adapt the room’s lighting.

The system will already have learnt what that person’s lighting preferences are for that time of day.

Improving our health and well-being A lot of research is being done on something known as ‘human-centric lighting’, exploring how the quality of light can increase productivity at work or in schools and also make people feel more relaxed at home. By mixing a warm white light with a cooler white light, humancentric lighting can help us cope with our natural circadian rhythms, reducing drowsiness at certain times of day.

C O N TA C T

LED technology is still developing fast, and standardisation remains a challenge for the lighting industry. Progress is being made in terms of standardising the quality, safety, mechanics, performance and driver compatibility of LEDs, and improved efficiency and thermal management is already resulting in lights lasting longer.

Because technology is still advancing so fast, it will be at least a couple of years before a significantly greater level of standardisation can be achieved.

Costs may rise before they fall The emerging trend of intelligent lighting could well mean that some costs will rise in the short term – at least until new technologies settle down and there

Advances in technology, such as waferthin OLED lights and Nano LED, are opening up new possibilities for lighting design as well as improving the quality of light. Lighting is increasingly becoming a work or art in its own right.

Ease of control Your lighting will become much easier to control – whether you are four or ninety-four.

The whole industry is striving to make the user-interface – or controls – as easy as possible and big advances are now being made. We will soon be seeing a lot of new intuitive and SMART lighting solutions controlled via easy-to-use Apps on mobile phones and tablets.

A SEA

CHANGE iLumTech’s Marek Mácha discusses the technology utilising opto-mechanical nanostructures for overcoming fundamentals in optics design

Transmissive optical parts Transparent optical parts with special 3D geometrical structures, which are used to control the light, are called refractors. In this case, light is modified with respect to the law of refraction. Refractors in luminaires are used to distribute the light uniformly with required light intensity distribution curve.

For better light control, the dimensions of the geometrical structure should be in relation to the light emitting area of a light source. Prismatic diffusers [fig. 1] were made of clear plastic material (mostly polycarbonate or PMMA), with the dimensions of the structures set at 5mm.

This type of structure works perfectly with light sources, which have bigger light emitting surfaces, for example FD (T8-diameter 26mm) lamps. Primary functions of the prismatic diffuser were optimal light intensity distribution curve, and glare control.

For smaller dimensions of light emitting area, these structures with bigger dimensions do not work correctly. For this reason, structures with smaller dimensions were developed to control the light from FDH (T5-diameter 16mm). Dimensions of these structures are between 1mm and 3mm [fig. 2].

If we think about LED technology, which is the future of lighting, then we need to think about dimensions of light emitting areas, which often have a surface of 1mm2. For this light source, classic micro prismatic diffusers do not work properly, and we can see many disadvantages, such as a non-homogenous light emitting area or imprecise glare control.

In luminaire design optical parts are often visible and dominating.

L

ighting technology is going to become digital.

New efficient LEDs, drivers, and control systems give us a freedom and show new possibilities, which can be used in the lighting area.

Classical light sources, such as filament bulbs, T8 fluorescent lamps, and HID lamps will be consigned to the past. Lighting manufacturers are changing luminaire designs, production technologies, and components. Only one part of the luminaire is not changing hand-in-hand with new technologies: it is one of the most important parts of a luminaire, which shapes the light. It creates the basic attribute of the luminaire – light intensity distribution curve.

Optical parts have not changed since 1994. We are still using reflectors to reflect the light, and refractors based on geometrical structures to control a light by transmission.

The digital age makes us think about using a new approach and new technologies, not only for production, but also for calculation and design. Daily life is connected with ‘nano technology’ in ways we don’t even realise.

We believe that the new way of optical design will be key to the future of luminaires. Optomechanical nanostructures are the base for this new approach. These structures are able to split the light, direct it, and finally, combine it for the best performance; optimal light intensity distribution curve with minimum losses. Measurements on real samples show us that this is the right way to minimise optical systems while achieving the best performance, throwing away the old principles.

Reflectors especially, are large in comparison with rest of the luminaire. And it’s the same with prismatic or micro-prismatic diffusers.

Of course, for ‘active’ parts, which redirect light from a light source to a required distribution curve, they need space to allow them to work. With the new approach, knowhow, and technology, we can make optical parts and complete luminaires smaller, with higher performance. Nowadays, performance is a key point of lighting technology.

Luminaires should be optimised for dimension, weight, efficiency, and of course, visual appearance.

These are the criteria, which make products successful.

Classic prismatic diffusers or micro-prismatic diffusers, made of clear plastic materials, have transmissions of between 70–90 per cent. In fact these values are at the edge of production techniques, which are used to produce optical parts.

Prismatic and micro-prismatic technology has been well known for many years, but it is limited by the precision of mechanical tool production.

FIG.4 Opto-mechanical structures – diffractive Fresnel lens

FIG.5

Opto-mechanical structures – diffractive Fresnel lens- detail

A new approach The technology to produce opto-mechanical nanostructures cannot be compared with standard production of prismatic or micro-prismatic diffusers. To control light with such high precision, we need exact structures. Special calculation methods are followed by recording of calculated structures and testing. Structures are produced with dimensions of just a few microns, with substructures with dimensions of 100nm.

No practical tool exists to do the calculation in one go, so a combination of several tools is necessary, to get a bitmap of the structure. The bitmap file represents structures on a surface, which are practically Fresnel lenses.

Fresnel lenses are generally known as an approximation of conventional lenses, but of much lower weight and volume in comparison. They can focus, collimate, partially collimate, and diverge an incoming light beam in the same way as a conventional lens. If a lens is sliced into zones in such a way that the width of the zones becomes comparable with the wavelength of light, then the Fresnel lens acts as a diffractive, rather than a refractive, element, and is referred to as a diffractive Fresnel lens. A diffractive Fresnel lens can be constructed in the same way as a standard Fresnel lens.

However, its optical function is driven more by the principle of diffraction than of refraction. Despite the diffraction approach, a diffractive Fresnel lens can also focus, collimate, partially collimate and diverge an incoming light beam in the same way as a conventional lens.

These functions are a result of the planar geometry of the zones, rather than a result of their relief profile. By modifying the zone geometry, the diffractive Fresnel lens may become a more generalised diffractive lens, which may act as an offaxis or multi-focal lens. The zone structure of a zonal optical element based on diffraction and/or refraction principles, can be overlaid with another diffractive structure, for example a diffractive diffuser. Such a lens can then combine focusing and scattering functions on the basis of the planar geometry of the included features. Such ‘hybrid’ optical elements can also homogenise an incident light beam in its intensity or angular irradiation spectrum, and redistribute an incident beam into a specific illumination pattern.

A common feature of known zonal optical elements [figs.

4, 5] is chromatic aberration. A typical zonal optical element, such as a diffractive Fresnel lens, exhibits quite a significant chromatic aberration, and its focusing and/or imaging properties are strongly dependent on the wavelength of light interacting with the zonal structure of the element. This becomes a problem when a beam of white light, interacting with the zonal optical element, is required to create a desired illumination pattern. When the incoming white light reaches the diffracting and/or refracting zones, it is dispersed because the diffraction angle depends, inter alia, on the wavelength of the incident light.

If a zonal optical element is required to interact with white light so the outgoing light is perceived as white, then the chromatic aberration needs to be suppressed or reduced.

Various techniques have been proposed including the ‘RGB method’ or ‘multi-wavelength approach’. In this method, the zone structure is designed for three or more wavelengths. Groups of zones designed for each wavelength alternate within the entire zone pattern of the lens. Each wavelength diffracts into a different direction on a specific group of zones, and at the end, all wavelengths propagate at mutually mixed directions.The resulting light appears, to the observer, as white.

Special structures

Diffusers were designed according to ideal distribution curves, which are needed for specific applications.

The first application where we want to use opto-mechanical nanostructures was supermarkets and warehouses.

These require a double asymmetrical distribution curve, which is the most difficult for the calculation of structures. The requirement for very high light quality in supermarkets means there can be no colour defects on the illuminated area.

First samples were produced in silicon; it was necessary to produce a prototype for verification and the next steps. The results were not as expected; the shape of the distribution curve needed to be altered. New structures were re-calculated and produced in eight weeks.

Because it is possible to produce opto-mechanical nanostructures by two different technologies, with different resolution, we tested both. Results this time were as expected: no colour defects, high transmission, and exact control of light. Photometric measurements were done by near field goniophotometer RiGO 801, according to EN 13 032-1. According this standard measurement steps were 2.5 degrees in vertical and horizontal axes. Transmission of diffuser with special opto-mechanical nanostructures was measured in integration sphere. Thanks to precise calculation methods and production possibilities results to high transmission of diffuser.

Transmission of diffuser with structures is 96 per cent.

With new technology, which is able to record and produce opto-mechanical structures with such a high precision, it is possible to achieve high efficiency, exact light control, and suitable mass production.

Luminaires can be smaller and more effective, with optimal light intensity distribution curves. And the performance of systems with structures is much higher than existing solutions.

Nigel Harvey Nigel Harvey became CEO of Recolight in 2009, and was charged with leading the compliance scheme in achieving its recycling targets, and ensuring the industry complies with WEEE regulations.

A natural sciences graduate of Cambridge University, he has almost 20 years’ experience in the electrical sector, operating product compliance schemes, including management of CE marking schemes for electrical equipment, and the Kitemark.

In 2012, Recolight won ‘Recycling and Waste Management Business of the Year’ at the National Recycling Awards, and Nigel Harvey was recognised as LUX Man of the Year.

What is your favourite light source, and why?

This month’s 10-minute tea break comes courtesy of Recolight chief executive, Nigel Harvey

I was a fairly early adopter of LED in our house, and some were lousy!

We now have good LED GU10 and MR16 wherever possible. I still get a thrill switching them on, knowing they are only 4-6W… Yes, I know, it’s a bit sad.

Building facades lit with colour – for or against – and why?

A uniform monochromatic nightscape would be bland. Colour - used judiciously - can add an extra dimension.

Who is your favourite designer of anything that’s not lighting?

It has to Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

Where he was given free rein, his buildings, furniture, and decor are wonderfully unified.

Which lighting project would you like to have worked on?

The lighting of the Millennium footbridge in Newcastle. Very simple, very effective.

The real impact of LED change is still to come, but watch out for synthetic biology in the long term’

After the huge changes LED has brought to the industry, what do you think will be the next big advance?

Sustainable is very easy to say, but very hard to implement.

We will get close when lighting is sufficiently low energy to be 100 per cent powered by renewables, made in factories powered by renewables, using 100 per cent recycled raw materials, and with a fully effective collection and recycling of all end-oflife products.

We are still some way off.

What trends do you forecast in domestic lighting?

Many of us are quite conservative at home – so perhaps less change than we, in the lighting industry, might expect.

Why do you think lighting is bucking the general trend and showing such strong growth?

Investments in LED are often a no-brainer, but are also sometimes seen as a must-have for organisations that want to appear to be doing the right thing…

Chandelier or candle?

Wax candles anytime please.

Is there one declining light source that you’ll miss above all others? If so, which is it, and why?

It’s too early. The real impact of LED change is still to come, but watch out for synthetic biology in the long term.

Do you see a time when all lighting is sustainable? If so, how can we achieve it?

None at all!

It still warms my heart to see energy saving lamps of all kinds – and sends shivers down my spine when I see incandescent needlessly burning up the planet.

B.E.G. LAUNCH OCCUPANCY SENSOR THAT IS IDEAL FOR SCHOOL CLASSROOMS

A

new independent light management system has been brought to the market by building controls specialist B.E.G. which can divide the lighting into four light groups via DALI bus cable.

The B.E.G. Luxomat® PD4 is the latest occupancy sensor to be launched by the German manufacturer which is ideal for school classrooms as it provides a simple way of offsetting the lights output to take into account natural daylight all through one sensor.

B.E.G.’s latest innovative lighting solution can control 64 electronic ballasts which can then be divided into four separate groups - and an additional integrated 16V bystable relay means that it can meet even more local demands if required, such as for the HVAC. The PD4 can be programmed by using a smartphone with B.E.G.’s free downloadable remote control app which makes installing the groups simple and easy. The B.E.G. app is available from Apple and Android app stores so the occupancy sensor does

not need to be programmed using a PC. Depending on the brightness in the room, groups one to three can control the light and ensure the right quality of light is provided using the latest Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) technology. The three groups of the Luxomat® device can be adapted to the requirements by the light sensor and even be manually activated by a common pushbutton.

Group four can be used for permanent illumination and is either controlled depending on the brightness or by using the pushbuttton. The relay channel is connected from group five and has a dry contact.

This means it cannot affect the primary current being controlled by the relay because it is connected to a secondary set of contacts. The large detection range of the master device can additionally be extended by means of slave devices. The PD4 is compatible with virtually all lighting loads including LED lamps.

The B.E.G. Luxomat® does offer the possibility to be able to

control a further constant light including heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems depending on the presence. It can also be used for completely switching off the electronic ballast meaning the standby consumption of the electricity balancing (EB) is reduced to zero.

B.E.G. Director for UK & Ireland Paul Jones said: “The new B.E.G. Luxomat® PD4 is a fantastic product for schools looking to reduce their energy costs. Not only can it divide up to four light groups but there is also the option of an extra relay. This is an ideal product for school classrooms, where this one product can control all the lighting, providing simple set up and control.

“The fact we are now able to offer our customers the technology to be able to install these lighting groups using a Smartphone demonstrates B.E.G’s continuing commitment to developing new and innovative products that can make lighting controls even simpler to use and manage.”

Luxomat® Adapter, which is charged via a USB cable, is simply plugged into the phone connector of the smartphone and a userfriendly navigation allows users to search by product name or by remote control name.

The infrared connection to the sensor is established once the adapter is plugged into the headphone socket of the smartphone.

B.E.G. Director for UK & Ireland Paul Jones said: “The new B.E.G smartphone remote control app means all remote-controllable Luxomat® occupancy sensors are even easier to install and operate.

It also allows more screens to simplify set up, whereas before we offered only one.

“The app is totally free to download, is simple to use, and gives installers and end users the convenience and flexibility to set up the occupancy sensor to their needs which can result in a substantial reduction in an organisation’s energy costs.”
