editor’s note
Dear Readers,
Welcome to this issue of Lighting Today. I hope that 2015 has
been a pleasant year for you so far; and I thought I’d share a bit
of my personal thoughts on architectural lighting.
Prior to this role as Editor of this magazine, my knowledge of
lighting design had been rather minimal; lights were just a basic
necessity for use indoors and at night, powered by simple on-off
switches. Sure, I knew about street lighting and façade lighting,
but their importance and creative elements hardly crossed my
mind. Now, one and a half years later and after putting together
six issues of Lighting Today, I find myself having what I’d call an
“occupational habit”; my eyes often wandering up to ceilings and
walls, evaluating how the lighting design affects me consciously
and subconsciously.
It is really incredible though, how technology has given lighting
designers countless design possibilities which are unique yet
relevant to the overall concept. Gracing this issue is the splendid
lighting design of the Tua Pek Kong Temple here in Bukit Timah,
Singapore, by lighting designers from Light Collab. As with any
cultural building or place of worship, the right ambience within
the compound and from the exterior creates an air of reverence
and respect for culture and tradition. Read on to find out how
Light Collab gave the temple’s lighting design a facelift.
Also in this issue, check out a range of specially selected interior
and exterior lighting design projects and products, as well as
comprehensive previews and reviews of international exhibitions
within the lighting industry.
Happy reading!

CLDA
or how the Chinese Lighting Designers Association is taking off where PLDA left…
Through my frequent travel in the region and China specifically,
as well as my years of being “around” in the business of lighting
design in this part of the world, it is not a surprise that I have
developed close ties with the lighting enthusiasts, designers
and manufacturers, certainly when it comes to promoting
the benefits of better lighting design, for most of us a daily
passion. With the unfortunate demise of the Professional
Lighting Design Association last year, a void was created with
many of the former PLDA members left feeling abandoned by
their association. Most of us switched over to the IALD (the
International Association of Lighting Designers) headquartered
in the USA, but with still this need for a complementary
association more engrained with the ways of working in the
Asia Pacific.
The Chinese Lighting Design Association (CLDA) was set up
several years ago in consultation and with the blessing of the
PLDA at the time, with MOU’s signed between the organisations
for cooperation, exchange of programs and joined activities. A
similar cooperation agreement was signed with the IALD. The
void that was created with the demise of the PLDA now seems
to be gradually filled in by the CLDA who is spreading its wings
more actively over the last year or so supported by some of the
former PLDA members.
The CLDA is an exclusive membership limited in numbers
and open to Chinese lighting designers only, with the
members under scrutiny to perform and deliver quality work
throughout the year, failing which their membership maybe
revoked. In other words, membership to the CLDA is subject to
performance and continued delivery of quality work. In order
to help assess and maintain these levels of quality the CLDA is
assisted by an International Advisory Council (IAC) of which I
am a member. The role of the IAC members (most of whom are
previously PLDA members) is to safeguard the integrity and
the professionalism of our profession by its members.
The CLDA further promotes the role of the lighting designer and
the importance of good lighting design through a platform it
calls the Declaration of Green (DOG). Yes, a lot of abbreviations,
I know. The DOG focuses on the sustainability of lighting
(green) and the benefits of better lighting design. Till recently,
DOG’s had been held on a nearly monthly basis in various key
cities throughout China, but since November last year the
CLDA is exploring overseas opportunities as well with its first
DOG event held in Hong Kong during the Autumn Light Fair.
The objectives are two-fold; first it wants to promote lighting
design in China and as such the CLDA offers to be a portal into
the Chinese market for overseas designers potentially through
cooperation with local Chinese lighting designers. Secondly,
it also wants to export the Chinese lighting design brand
overseas. Chinese lighting designers are coming of age (as
do many of the in China manufactured lighting products) and
with the ever expanding reach of multi-national property and
infra-structure developers the outreach of Chinese lighting
designers becoming active overseas is rapidly growing. This
offers in turn opportunities for cooperation with overseas
8
lighting designers. It is this international bilateral cooperation
that will help grow the Chinese lighting design industry as an
accepted force not only in China but also abroad.
This year’s DOG event schedule is already pretty much lined up
with a mix of events in China and abroad. Based on last year’s
DOG success in Hong Kong the fair organisation has asked
the CLDA back for its spring edition. Other overseas events
are being planned in Milano (during Euroluce at the Salone di
Mobile) and Singapore. Each of the events will have a mix of
International and Chinese lighting designers as guest speakers
sharing their experiences. I have been invited to a few of them
and look forward to contribute my little piece of mind.
My vested interest is of course my continued project activities
in Asia Pacific and China specifically where I have now been
active for more than 20 years. Through the CLDA and the DOG
platforms we have excellent ways to educate and reach out to
the public and project related stakeholders. It is noteworthy to
mention that the CLDA now also facilitates the first certified
lighting designer’s course at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute
in Chongqing. I had the pleasure to visit and address the
students last year as part of their curriculum (English language
proficiency is mandatory!) and was impressed by their level
and quality of work.
The CLDA is clearly moving ahead and providing new horizons
to the lighting design fraternity in this part of the world,
gradually filling part of the void left behind by the PLDA.
Elsewhere in this issue you will find an interview with the
president of the CLDA and its plans for the future.

ZHAGA CONSORTIUM STARTS WORK ON NEW SPECIFICATION FOR
COB LED ARRAYS
In response to feedback from a broad range of stakeholders, the new
Zhaga Book will specify a family of six rectangular or square LED
modules with different dimensions.
T
he Zhaga Consortium, which develops specifications
for interchangeable LED light sources, is now working
on a new Book that will include Chip-on-Board (COB) LED
arrays.
COB arrays are already in widespread use throughout the
LED lighting industry, but different manufacturers offer a
wide range of alternative sizes. This creates problems for
luminaire makers and other stakeholders such as COB
holder suppliers, and limits their options to use alternative
products from different suppliers without changing their
luminaire or holder designs.
“We consulted many luminaire makers, and received broad
support for our plans to standardize this type of LED
light source,” said Musa Unmehopa, Secretary General
of the Zhaga Consortium. “These companies asked us to
standardize properties such as the mechanical dimensions
of the module, the position of electrodes, and the diameter
of the light-emitting surface.”
Zhaga standardization 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 COB-array
makers, this will allow 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,” said Unmehopa. “We welcome any
input from COB makers or other companies, who are invited
to join Zhaga and contribute to the ongoing discussions.”
Specification details
The new Zhaga Book will define LED light engines comprising
rectangular and square LED modules with a circular lightemitting surface (LES) and a separate LED driver. The Book
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 lightemitting section. However, the Zhaga specification will not
prevent the use of alternative technology approaches.
To lay the groundwork for the new Book, Zhaga analysed the
main COB-array products on the market, and checked the
requirements of luminaire makers. After extensive discussion
it was decided to specify a family of six rectangular or
square modules, with the following PCB dimensions: 12 x
15 mm, 16 x 19 mm, 19 x 19 mm, 20 x 24 mm, 24 x 24 mm,
and 28 x 28 mm.
The circular LES sizes defined in the new Book will
correspond to the LES categories specified in several
current Zhaga Books that cover spotlight modules (Books
3, 5, 10 and 11).
The circular LES sizes defined in the new Book will
correspond to the LES categories specified in several
current Zhaga Books that cover spotlight modules (Books
3, 5, 10 and 11).
COB LED arrays are used both with and without holders,
depending on the luminaire type and application. It is likely
that the new Zhaga Book will also include specifications for
these holders.
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.
Screw holes will be optional, since many COB arrays
are mounted directly using a thermal interface material.
However, if screw holes are used then their position and
size should conform to the Zhaga specification.
As part of the Book-writing process, Zhaga will discuss
whether other features should be part of the specification.
This may include the addition of a current-setting resistor
to the board, for example, or the addition of a temperature
sensor to prevent over-temperature operation.
(footnote)
* Chip-on-board or COB is a manufacturing technology in which the
LED chips are mounted directly onto a PCB or printed circuit board.
The phosphor coating necessary to produce white light is either
applied to each individual chip, or applied across the entire array.

Zhaga is a global lighting-industry consortium that is
developing specifications to enable the interchange of
LED light engines, modules and drivers made by different
manufacturers.
CONTACT LENS MERGES PLASTICS AND ACTIVE ELECTRONICS
VIA 3-D PRINTING
A
s part of a project demonstrating new 3-D printing
techniques, Princeton researchers have embedded tiny
light-emitting diodes into a standard contact lens, allowing
the device to project beams of colored light.
Michael McAlpine, the lead researcher, cautioned that the
lens is not designed for actual use — for one, it requires an
external power supply. Instead, he said the team created the
10
device to demonstrate the ability to “3-D print” electronics
into complex shapes and materials.
“This shows that we can use 3-D printing to create complex
electronics including semiconductors,” said McAlpine,
an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace
engineering. “We were able to 3-D print an entire device, in
this case an LED.”
lighting in the news |top stories
To conduct the research,
the team built a new type
of 3-D printer that McAlpine
described
as
“somewhere
between
off-the-shelf
and
really fancy.” Dan Steingart,
an assistant professor of
mechanical and aerospace
engineering and the Andlinger
Center, helped design and
build the new printer, which
McAlpine estimated cost in the
neighborhood of $20,000.

leading a research team that uses 3-D printing to create complex electronics devices such as this
light-emitting diode, shown here printed on curved glass. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)
The hard contact lens is made of plastic. The researchers used tiny crystals, called
quantum dots, to create the LEDs that generated the colored light. Different size dots
can be used to generate various colors.
“We used the quantum dots [also known as nanoparticles] as an ink,” McAlpine said. “We
were able to generate two different colors, orange and green.”
The contact lens is also part of an ongoing effort to use 3-D printing to assemble diverse,
and often hard-to-combine, materials into functioning devices. In the recent past, a team
of Princeton professors including McAlpine created a bionic ear out of living cells with an
embedded antenna that could receive radio signals.
Yong Lin Kong, a researcher on both projects, said the bionic ear presented a different
type of challenge.
“The main focus of the bionic ear project was to demonstrate the merger of electronics
and biological materials,” said Kong, a graduate student in mechanical and aerospace
engineering.
Kong, the lead author of a Oct. 31 article describing the current work in the journal
Nano Letters, said that the contact lens project, on the other hand, involved the printing
of active electronics using diverse materials. The materials were often mechanically,
chemically or thermally incompatible — for example, using heat to shape one material
could inadvertently destroy another material in close proximity. The team had to find
ways to handle these incompatibilities and also had to develop new methods to print
electronics, rather than use the techniques commonly used in the electronics industry.
“For example, it is not trivial to pattern a thin and uniform coating of nanoparticles
and polymers without the involvement of conventional microfabrication techniques, yet
the thickness and uniformity of the printed films are two of the critical parameters that
determine the performance and yield of the printed active device,” Kong said.
To solve these interdisciplinary challenges, the researchers collaborated with Ian
Tamargo, who graduated this year with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry; Hyoungsoo
Kim, a postdoctoral research associate and fluid dynamics expert in the mechanical and
aerospace engineering department; and Barry Rand, an assistant professor of electrical
engineering and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment.
McAlpine said that one of 3-D printing’s greatest strengths is its ability to create
electronics in complex forms. Unlike traditional electronics manufacturing, which builds
circuits in flat assemblies and then stacks them into three dimensions, 3-D printers can
create vertical structures as easily as horizontal ones.
“In this case, we had a cube of LEDs,” he said. “Some of the wiring was vertical and
some was horizontal.”
12
McAlpine said that he does not
envision 3-D printing replacing
traditional
manufacturing
in
electronics
any
time
soon;
instead,
they
are
complementary
technologies
with very different strengths.
Traditional
manufacturing,
which uses lithography to
create electronic components,
is a fast and efficient way
to
make
multiple
copies
with a very high reliability.
Manufacturers are using 3-D
printing, which is slow but easy
to change and customize, to
create molds and patterns for
rapid prototyping.
Prime uses for 3-D printing
are situations that demand
flexibility and that need to
be tailored to a specific use.
For
example,
conventional
manufacturing
techniques
are not practical for medical
devices that need to be fit to
a patient’s particular shape
or devices that require the
blending of unusual materials
in customized ways.
“Trying to print a cellphone
is probably not the way to
go,” McAlpine said. “It is
customization that gives the
power to 3-D printing.” In this
case, the researchers were able
to custom 3-D print electronics
on a contact lens by first
scanning the lens, and feeding
the geometric information back
into the printer. This allowed
for conformal 3-D printing of
an LED on the contact lens.
Besides
McAlpine,
Kong,
Tamargo, Kim, Rand and
Steingart,
the
researchers
involved in the project included
postdoctoral researchers Blake
Johnson, Maneesh Gupta and
Tae-Wook Koh, and graduate
student Huai-An Chin.
Support for the project was
provided by the Air Force Office
of Scientific Research and the
Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency.

LIGHTING DESIGN FORUM: THE NEW SUMMIT FOR LIGHTING
EXPERTS AND DESIGNERS
T
he Lighting Design Forum
was held on Tuesday,
25 November 2014 at the
National Design Centre in
Singapore. The main aim of
the Lighting Design Forum
is to congregate experts,
designers
and
students
involved in the study of
architecture,
design
and
lighting design every year.
Sponsored by Reggiani,
Performance
in
Lighting
and
Eye
Lighting
Asia
Pacific, this inaugural event
was promoted by Roberto
Baggio, General Manager
of Performance in Lighting
Singapore and supported
by the Italian Chamber of
Commerce
in
Singapore
(ICCS),
DesignSingapore
Council and the Professional
Lighting Design Convention
(PLDC).
ICCS
President
Federico
Donato introduced the Guest
of
Honour,
Dr
Gianluca
Rubagotti,
Deputy
Head
of Mission of the Embassy
of Italy in Singapore who
delivered
the
welcome
speech. After presenting the
programme and objective of
the Lighting Design Forum,
Baggio welcomed Jean Wee,
Director of the National
Heritage Board, who spoke
about the importance of light
and the significance of the
year 2015 which has been
announced by UNESCO as
the International Year of Light.
The great idea of a lighting
design forum sparked from
an ambition to create a
place for professionals in
the lighting business where
ideas and best practices
can be unveiled and shared.
“We wanted to create a new
meeting point for designers,
students and lecturers to
meet and exchange ideas,
goals and aims about past
experiences and future ones.
2015 will be the International
Year of Light and I thought it
was the perfect moment to
drive this new initiative.” said
Baggio.
With the participation of
prestigious speakers, experts
in lighting, the theme of the
conference’s first edition was
the lighting of historic art
and monuments. Louis and
Emmanuel Clair from Light
Cibles explained creative architectural lighting approaches of world heritage sites when
design is governed by conservation restrictions on drilling and using screws, from Mont
Saint-Michel in France to the lighting concept of Indonesia’s Borobudur.
Serena Tellini and Francesco Iannone from Consuline presented their discovery named the
Monza Method – a new technique for lighting historic art, giving a practical demonstration
on how the correct approach can lead to a deeper understanding of the artist’s work.
Earlier on Monday, 24 November, Tellini and Iannone conducted a student workshop and
training for the Lighting Design Forum staff with a focus on their Monza Method.
Baggio added: “People in Asia, from China to Indonesia, are discovering the importance
of their origins and finding a cause for preserving prestigious monuments and retrieving
pieces of art. We think that 100 museums will open next year in China. The key role and
great opportunities of heritage lighting are so huge that we could not ignore them.”

STG AEROSPACE INSTALLS LITEMOOD® IN LATIN AMERICA
L
eading aircraft cabin lighting company STG Aerospace
is delighted to announce that Copa Airlines has become
the latest airline to install its liTeMood® retrofit LED lighting
system representing the first airline in Latin America to
complete a 737-800 liTeMood® installation.
With many of their 737NG fleet installed with Boeing Sky
Interior, Copa Airlines looked for a cost effective solution to
upgrade and harmonise the look and feel of cabin interiors
of the older aircraft installed with fluorescent lighting. The
liTeMood® installation followed an on-wing demonstration
in Panama during 2014. Founded in 1947, Copa Airlines
serves as Panama’s flag carrier flying more than 11 million
passengers a year to destinations in 30 countries in North,
Central and South America and the Caribbean.
liTeMood® is a versatile, programmable, fully plug-andplay system which can be installed quickly and easily and
offers a highly cost-effective upgrade for airlines seeking
to improve passenger experience and increase yields. It
features significantly increased reliability over traditional
lighting systems, thereby reducing ongoing maintenance
and operational costs, and also delivers important
environmental benefits. Not only is liTeMood® up to 40kg
lighter than original-fit fluorescent lighting, it also consumes
70% less power, increasing both the aircraft’s fuel and
electrical efficiency.
Despite the simplicity of its design, liTeMood® incorporates
the latest research into the effects of ambient lighting on
individual passenger comfort and wellbeing and, as a result
of its versatility, can also be applied to achieve impactful
brand differentiation.
Marcus Williams, Director of Sales & Marketing added: “As
the first ever liTeMood® installation in Latin America, this
is an important win for STG Aerospace and we’re looking
forward to the opportunity to work closely with Copa Airlines
going forward. With the Latin American aviation industry
continuing to exhibit strong growth and representing a
strategically important market for us, we’re keen to promote
liTeMood®’s many benefits across the region”.

recommendation received from his university made him the
worthy winner of the £10,000 scholarship. The funding will
be used to support his ongoing education and investigation
into the relationship between light and architecture.
lighting in the news |america
Chairman of the JSSF John Roake spoke on behalf of the Trustees
of the Jonathan Speirs Scholarship Fund: “We are delighted to have
made this second award. Whilst the selection process was every bit
as demanding as our inaugural award in 2013, it was a unanimous
decision to offer a scholarship to Cashel Brown. As a graduate
architect who is now engaged in a postgraduate course in lighting
design, Cashel absolutely represents the quality and type of student
this award was originally aimed at. We have no doubt that the financial
support will help him immensely as he makes his way in his chosen
profession as a Lighting Designer.”
Cashel Brown commented:
“I feel extremely privileged to have received the second Jonathan
Speirs Scholarship, and intend to use the opportunity to fuel my
passion for lighting design.”
John Roake concluded with a plea for ongoing support:
“Once again this award has only been made possible as a result of
the incredible generosity of a number of companies and individuals
who came forward with donations. It is our stated intention that we
will make a minimum of one award each year
until 2023. To that end we still need further
financial help. We would therefore like to
use this opportunity to appeal to companies,
professional practices and individuals who
both knew Jonathan or benefitted from his
incredible insight into light and architecture to
give generously going into the future.”

THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION (LIA) SECURES £1.3M
FUNDING FROM THE REGIONAL GROWTH FUND (ROUND 6)
T
he UK’s Lighting Industry received a huge boost this
week as the Lighting Industry Association received a
share of the Government’s Regional Growth Fund to further
develop its laboratory services (LIA Laboratories) and new
Lighting Training Academy.
The funds will help the Lighting Industry Association create
a new Lighting Testing Laboratory to cope with increased
demand, which will house a unique R&D centre that will
be available for UK manufacturers to use and develop new
lighting products.
Alongside the new laboratory, the Lighting Industry
Association will also build a Lighting Academy that will
provide education, learning and awareness services for
the whole lighting supply chain. Being sited at the Lighting
Industry Association’s HQ in Telford, means that the courses
will have a distinctly ‘hand-on’ feel and will help drive the
introduction of new lighting technology and low energy
initiatives.
“These new facilities will be a fantastic asset for the
industry,” said Steve Davies, CEO. “It will shorten lead times
for the introduction of new products especially for the UK
SME market as well as raising awareness of the potential
of such products – consequently jobs will be secured and
16
created both within the Lighting Industry Association itself
but also across the Lighting Industry as a whole”.
The Lighting Academy will be a unique proposition for
the industry. Whilst the Lighting Industry Association will
continue to deliver and develop its well-respected technical
content for the lighting industry, the scope will increase to
include the retail and wholesale aspects of the market. It is
envisaged that specifiers and designers will also benefit as
courses are developed over the next 12 months.
Already the UK’s largest independent lighting test laboratory,
the new facility will house new ‘state-of-the-art’ testing
equipment that ordinarily would be out of reach of many of
the Lighting SME’s.
The LIA Laboratories is already accredited by the United
Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) to ISO/IEC 17065,
“General requirements for the competence for product
certification”, the main ISO standard used for certifying a
products safety and performance and has plans to extend
its capability for European and world-wide accreditation
services.
The award is subject to the clearance of satisfactory due
diligence.

STUDENTS PASS WITH FLYING COLORS ASSISTED BY HARMAN’S
MARTIN PROFESSIONAL AT 2014 SINGAPORE NIGHT FESTIVAL
Photo Credit: Martin Professional Pte Ltd.
T
aking inspiration from a swarm of butterflies in midflight, a group of students from Singapore University
of Technology and Design (SUTD) developed the unique
‘Flights of Fancy’ display for the 2014 Singapore Night
Festival. The installation, which was the culmination of
the University’s 10-week Urban Lighting course, used the
Singapore National Design Centre’s expansive space to
bring a true on-of-a-kind experience to life with help from
HARMAN’s Martin Professional Exterior 400 LED lighting
fixtures.
Throughout the University’s Urban Lighting course, students
learned about the effects of both natural and artificial light
on space as well as fundamental design concepts. The
students then had the opportunity to develop an installation
for the Singapore Night Festival as part of their final course
project and according to the SUTD student team leader,
Kenickie Cher Jia Jun, Martin Professional fixtures were
crucial in bringing the team’s vision for ’Flights of Fancy’
to life.
Created by the careful positioning of lights and shadows,
‘Flights of Fancy’ offered unique effects depending on the
time of day to ensure no experience was the same—not
even for two people standing beside each other. The display
featured a large floating sculpture made of hanging dichroic
films, a reflective material the team used to mimic butterflies
ascending into the sky. To do this the SUTD student team
needed a large, tall space with white walls and used eight
Marin Exterior 400s, a MAC 700 Profile, and a MAC 250
Krypton to produce a powerful light for reflections.
“One of the things we liked about the Martin fixtures was
our ability to program a dynamic design,” said Kenickie.
“The installation became ever-changing, and that made the
experience unique for each visitor. The strong light source
amplified the colors of the reflections and refractions
created by the dichroic film, creating the full effect that our
team had envisioned from the beginning.”
The Martin fixtures were concealed in two floor boxes below
the floating sculpture and programmed to gradually change
intensity and direction. Each box contained four Exterior
400 fixtures that provided color washes that were slowly
dimmed and then brighten constantly over time. “The Martin
fixtures were extremely powerful and effective,” said Lighting
Designer Shigeki Fujii, the students’ course instructor.
“The dimming and movement of the lighting fixtures truly
amplified the colors and the effects of the display. Most
observers did not even notice the lights were changing
intensity and direction, they thought the effect was simply
due to the wind.”
The SUTD team also programmed Martin’s MAC 700 Profile
and MAC 250 Krypton moving head fixtures slowly move
across the sculpture. Additionally, the lightweight of the
dichroic films and the subtle movement of air throughout
the space paired with the lighting effects helped animate the
color reflections into a sea of shimmering lights.
“Space, material and light source were the three most
important components of the design,” said Fujii. “The space
had to be white because it need to receive reflected light
as a canvas and we also wanted daylight in the space to
allow for dramatic effect changes from day to night. The
light source had to be powerful and sharp to create crisp
reflections on the space as well as programmable to allow
us to amplify the dynamic effects.”
According to Fujii, the fixtures were instrumental in helping
the student team develop one of the most powerful pieces
in the festival, “the students would not have been able to
complete their final project without the support of Martin’s
team and the outstanding quality of their products!”

EDISON OPTO INTRODUCES THE INDUSTRY’S BRIGHTEST FLASH
ES03
W
ith the increasing demand for smartphones, the
market request for mobile phone pixel has been
rising. To provide the best photography effects for
customers, mobile phone manufacturers require the
specification of phone flash should be upgraded. At
present, the brightness range of Flash LEDs is between
180~280lm, with each smartphone using 1-2 LED pieces.
Benefitting from the booming up smartphone market,
the usage volume of Flash LED has continued to grow.
Aiming for the business opportunity, the Taiwanese LED
packaging manufacturer, Edison Opto, has invested in
the R&D and production of Flash LED, and introduced the
industry’s brightest Flash ES03 which breaks through the
technology threshold to obtain the exclusive phosphor film
patent. The package size of Flash ES03 is 2.0x1.6mm (2016)
which is the mainstream dimension in Flash LED market.
Flash ES03 gives off high brightness (320lm which is driven
by 1A) within ultra small emitting area (only 1.1x1.1mm).
18
Compared with the traditional spray coating process,
phosphor film features high color uniformity and can achieve
the optimum brightness performance with second optical
design (the efficiency is higher than spray process by 10%).
Furthermore, the small package dimension makes design
more flexible especially suitable for closely packed LED
array module. In the aspect of color temperature control,
the CCT range of ES03 is much narrower than spray process
which demonstrates that Edison Opto can control the color
consistency effectively and provide stable quality products.
Flash ES03 has been introduced into mobile phone flash
market and successfully entered the supply chain of leading
cell phone manufacturers. Besides, Flash ES03 can be
applied in automotive lighting and medical applications
(such as endoscope). In addition to the white ES03, Edison
Opto has also launched full-color Flash LED products which
can be widely used in warning lights, stage lights, mood
lighting and decorative lighting.

LG CHEM LEADS WORLD’S BIGGEST BUILDING INSTALLATION OF
OLED LIGHTING AT SNU
Photo Credits: LG Chem
Top Korean university library selects OLED lighting because it offers
eye comfort with no glare.
L
G Chem., Ltd., the world’s largest OLED light panel
manufacturer has unveiled the world’s biggest
building installation of OLED lighting at the inauguration
ceremony for Seoul National University’s new main library.
LG Chem supplied 1,100 OLED light panels for reading
lights at the KwanJeong Library at Korea’s premier
university.
Seoul National University (SNU) adopted OLED lighting for
the library’s reading lights because it is energy efficient and
is extremely comfortable to the eyes. OLED lighting comes
closest of any lighting source to natural sunlight and does
not emit UV, which increases eye fatigue, or produces blue
light, which can cause eye damage.
University officials also selected the OLED light panels
because their slim and modern design conforms with the
library’s cutting-edge architecture. OLED light panels are
only the surface light source that is currently available,
which makes them ideal for various design applications.
“Lighting is the most important factor for a library facility
since we want to avoid eye fatigue for our students,” said
an administrator of the Seoul National University Library.
“OLED lighting is the best lighting option for the library’s
study areas since it protects the eyes while offering a
soothing and simple design, and we selected LG Chem’s
lighting products because of the company’s technology
leadership in the sector.”
“The adoption of OLED light panels at Seoul National
University Library is a recognition of OLED lighting’s
superiority,” said Park Sung-Soo, Vice President of the
OLED Light Business at LG Chem. “LG Chem plans to
commercially market in March the OLED reading lights
installed at the Seoul National University Library, in addition
to its ‘Frame’, OLED lighting lamp, which is already being
sold online. This is part of LG Chem’s efforts to create new
consumer experiences with OLED lighting products,” he
added.
The OLED light panels used at the SNU Library measure
320mm x 110mm, with a light efficacy of 60lm/W and a
lifetime of 40,000 hours. The brightness of the lighting is
easily adjusted with a dimming control between 300lx and
850lx. The standard brightness for a reading light ranges
from 300lx to 600lx, according to the Korean standard
illumination index.
The thickness of the OLED light panel is 0.88mm, and even
with an aluminum housing, it is still just 2.2mm, offering an
ultra slim design.
Mr. Park said the SNU Library OLED lighting project marks
a significant milestone in the worldwide adoption of OLED
lighting. Sales of the OLED lighting industry are set to
grow rapidly to reach an estimated $4.7 billion by 2020,
according to UBI Research, a consultancy.

A
Closer
Look
As the President of the CLDA, what are your roles and responsibilities?
Lear Hsieh (LH): I am responsible of taking care of CLDA’s missions;
to ensure that the members have good education about lighting
design and that they follow the code of ethics during their lighting
design practices. My role is also to develop educational programs and
activities around the world for the members, and to communicate with
all the consultants or members of the International Advisory Council
(IAC).
How is the CLDA making a difference to the lighting design industry
in Asia?
LH: Currently, out of 60 members of the CLDA, 35 are independent
lighting designers. We believe that lighting designers lead the trends
in the lighting industry, and that we need to have professional ethics
and apply international quality standards in what we do. International
lighting designers have been helping us to become more professional,
and at the same time, we have been helping manufacturers to
understand that there is a professional lighting design association in
China which only accepts certain standards and product qualities to
move the lighting industry forward. That is one of the major missions
of the CLDA – to let manufacturers know that they need to raise the
quality levels of their products.
How receptive have lighting professionals been to the CLDA since
it’s inception in 2008?
LH: The two Memorandum of Understanding (MOUs) that were
signed between us and the PLDA and IALD is proof that we have
been receptive in the professional lighting industry. Many local and
international lighting designers have been actively trying to apply to be
members of the CLDA, even though the current maximum number of
members is maintained at 60.
How has the CLDA helped to connect lighting professionals?
LH: The CLDA has helped to bring professionals in industry closer to
one another by keeping each other updated about new trends, helping
to solve problems and communicating regularly.
What are some significant milestones reached by the CLDA?
LH: In the 5th year of operation in 2013, we become more international
and well-known, thanks to the PLDA and IALD, who helped us and
walked with us. Last year, we started the IAC, which consists of
advisors and members from around the world. The Declaration of
Green (DOG) lighting design was launched in 2010 and we started to
branch out internationally in 2014 at the Hong Kong Lighting Fair. By
the 10th year, we hope to have at least one or two Chinese lighting
designers taking up projects internationally. We have a target to
become a “surviving association” after the first 10 years.
Lighting design has always played a role in the built
environment and architectural industries and as the demand
for good and professional lighting design increases, it is
important to have qualified and trusted lighting designers
and manufacturers. With China being a powerhouse of
designers and manufacturers, it is important to strive
for quality services and products. The Chinese Lighting
Designer Association (CLDA) was formed voluntarily in 2008
by the industry’s independent designers and professionals.
Their goal is to follow the rules of international lighting
design associations closely to define strict guidelines for
designers and manufacturers, ensuring high standards of
lighting design practices and products.
Any challenges faced so far? How has the CLDA overcome such
hurdles?
Lighting Today sat down with Mr Lear Hsieh, the President
of the CLDA, to find out more about what they do.
LH: We hope that the DOG will be a success and that our members
can enjoy the International Year of Light. Many members have already
been asking how they can get involved! This year is the 7 th year the
CLDA has been around and our goal is to continue on the road to
reach 10 years of operation.
38
LH: There are challenges all the time. The lighting industry, technology
and economy is changing all the time, so we have to keep up to date
with new trends. We are stabilizing our and education programs by
trying to make them regular events. Also, we try to cooperate with
institutes and international communities to share information and
insights.
Are there any goals or plans for 2015, which is the International Year
of Light?

A
irstar, a world leader in lighting balloon technology
for the event and staging industry, has been at
the centre of the Val d’Isère Airstar Night Light
since 2012. Every Thursday evening, between December
and March, the manufacturer showcases various lighting
technologies, and all its savoir-faire, to illuminate the
French ski resort.
This year, over 30 Airstar lighting balloons of various
shapes, sizes and colours were deployed: The Tourism
Office square boasted a magnificent Star shaped balloon
as well as four hanging Crystals of various sizes (130cm
to 160cm), covered by a printed « planet » cover, while
the main road hosted six Crystal Diamond 130, three air
inflated Stars 160 on a pole and 12x DMX controllable
standalone Towair Evo Flame. A further four red Airstar
Towairs (four metres high) lit up a live show.
During the ski holiday season, the Airstar Night Light
proves to be a great point of differentiation for Val d’Isère.
David Hemelsdael, Events and Entertainment Manager at
the Val d’Isère Tourism Office, explains: « We were looking
for a unique identity in order to stand out as a resort, and
so sought an innovative lighting solution that would have a
wow effect while being easy to deploy. »
In less than 10 minutes, the Tourism Office technical team
can stop the traffic on the main road, cover it entirely with
snow, and set up the entertainment activities as well as
the lighting balloons with the help of an Airstar team. The

other. Various animations brighten
up the public as they wander about,
using Airstar lighting solutions: ice
sculpting, DJ sets, live performances,
percussionists; all these animations
create a magical and festive ambiance
for all ages.
The Airstar Night Light also allows
the lighting manufacturer to test and
validate new lighting solutions such
as the new « mobile » made of three
Ball and Rock Delices attached under
each Diamond and Star balloons, as
well as the purposed built 160cm wide
Crystal cover on a pole.
« We are simply delighted with the
results. As far as I know, Airstar is the
only company capable of offering cost
effective solutions that are capable
of lighting up a street so quickly.
No wonder they are the undisputed
leader in their field», comments David
Hemelsdael. « Our main challenge is
to reinvent ourselves each year : last

T
he transformation of an existing open courtyard into a
semi-enclosed prayer space is at the heart of SPORES_
Studio’s additions and alterations to the Bukit Timah
Tua Pek Kong Temple in Singapore. In this project, SPORES_
Studio innovatively fulfilled the client’s brief of providing
additional prayer space through fundamental rethinking and
reconfiguring of the existing congested circulation routes.
By introducing a frameless glazed canopy over an existing
open courtyard, SPORES_Studio’s inspired approach
introduced a new all-weather prayer space spanning from
the main building to the temple’s front entrance archway. The
existing courtyard’s floor level is further raised to allow direct
45
cover story
46
cover story
access to the rest of the temple. This
decision removed previous awkward
and jarring changes in level and allows
for the first time easy wheelchair access
across the entire temple premise.
The glazed canopy, which is the
highlight of the project, is an intricately
detailed roof designed jointly by
SPORES_Studio, structural engineer
KKC Consultancy Services and the
main contractor. To ensure devotees
retain visual connectivity between the
new prayer area and the sky, SPORES_
Studio proposed for the new canopy
to be conceived entirely out of glazed
structural system. Using Low-E self
-cleaning glass for both the canopies
and structural beams, high level of
transparency is achieved while reducing
solar gain and maintenance. The new
canopy is also designed as a two-tiered
system to encourage natural ventilation
while negotiating complex interfacing
between the new and old roof.
As part of the refurbishment, SPORES_
Studio also collaborated with lighting
design firm Light Collab to design and
improve the overall lighting system of
the temple. Prior to the improvement
works, there was no façade lighting
and the temple disappeared into
darkness in the night time. Existing
luminaires had poor optics and using
compact fluorescent lamps made
the architecture and spaces rather
flat. The internal prayer hall was also
very dim and did not really highlight
the double volume space of the inner
prayer hall. Careful selections of good
luminaires with efficient LED and optics
established the temple as a night time
47

landmark in the midst of the urban bustle
in Upper Bukit Timah Road. Although more
fittings were introduced, the overall energy
consumption did not increase significantly.
Further introduction of sensitive and subtle
lighting systems help to enhance the
architectural spatial quality of the temple;
celebrating and revealing the forms,
textures, colours and motifs of the temple.
Tiered roof forms are carefully lit up with
asymmetric LED linear uplighters from
LUCI so that the architectural roof form
can be seen from street level and from
afar. To enhance the vividness of the red
columns, double-emission LED uplighters
from LAMP Lighting with 2700K and good
colour rendering were used and further
enhances the warmth of the temple.
Some of the challenges faced include
convincing the client to mount the fittings
on high level which would not be accessible
easily unless scaffolding is used. As it is
rather expensive to erect scaffolding to
maintain fittings, it is important that the
lighting system invested is durable and will
be lasting. As it is an existing building, it
is rather challenging to run wiring and to
conceal them neatly so that the beautiful
architecture would not be ruined by
unsightly cables and remote LED drivers.
The overall result was very satisfactory and
the investment for good lighting design
not just brings out the aesthetics of the
architecture, but also provides effective
use of energy. It is definitely worth doing it
right the first time.

“I had to determine a way to
use coloured light that was

critically, not over whelming
for wear y travellers.

facades & landscapes
“You cannot light a tree in the
same manner in which you light a
bridge. Existing lighting was not to
be changed, so my creative design
had to work around the existing
structures and lighting and not
impinge on the safety of travellers.
Colour programs and change are
carefully structured to ensure that
the lighting is not distracting, yet
still has enough movement to be
beautiful and provide a joyous
environment for those waiting for a
ride,” Ms Locke said.
“Each lighting site had its own
challenge, some could be lit
according to Adele’s wishes using
standard products, others required a
custom engineered solution, utilising
ENT TEC’s technology framework and
R&D team to design and manufacture
a luminaire.”
Airport management were major
stakeholders in the project, looking
to create a ‘Sense of Arrival’ through
the visual impact of light.
The roadside linear site was the
largest site of them all and was a
major challenge.
“By using light to tell a stor y across the
site, as well as improving pedestrian
navigation, such as blue lights over
entrance doors and colour-coded
light for bus shelters, travellers and
those people who work tirelessly in
the forecourt providing information
and support to travellers have more
useful cues for giving directions.
The sequence of colour change also
provides them with a more playful
work environment.”
“Not only was a significant amount
of light needed to light the
roadway structure, a pixel pitch
of 160 millimetres was required of
full RGBW over the 300-metre run.
Installation considerations were
taken into account as access on the
Melbourne Airport site is difficult,
therefore, the products had to be
designed so 450 of them could be
installed and commissioned in a few
days,” Mr Moreau said.
The heart of the project is the iconic
‘Melbourne’ sign. In support, are

Mr Moreau said the associated control network is among
the most sophisticated ENT TEC has built in its 15 years of
worldwide installations.
“It comprises five different technologies: wired DMX,
Ethernet, fibre optic, wireless Ethernet PtP link and
wireless DMX links. The sheer scale of the site and the
number of control channels needed (over 40,000) meant
that we had to use ever y tool in the box,” Mr Moreau said.
Specialised programming across the integrated sites

Day, Diwali, Chinese New Year and Christmas. The
installation can also be re-programmed to mark other
events and significant milestones as required.
Programming the content to satisfy the design brief took
Mr Moreau and his team, comprising Juan Ramirez and
Manmeet Singh, hundreds of hours of meticulous work.
Mr Ramirez explained, “ We needed numerous shows

and technical requirements were
vigorously coordinated and lighting
was marked as a key design element
to get right. Mr. Terence Tay, Design
Director from ADP was ver y handson to ensure that his interior designs
are correctly executed.
N
estled within the hilly regions of Xi’an lies the Angsana Xi’an Lintong
Resort – a cluster of hospitality developments consisting of a hot spring,
state guest houses and the Angsana Resort.
Xi’an is the ancient capital of China that flourished under the rule of the Qin
Dynasty. The city ’s illustrious past is still evident in its layout and architecture.
Indeed the amount of museums, places of interests and archaeological sites
is more than enough to substantiate its former glor y.
Within a 10 km radius of the resort lie the mausoleum of the first emperor,
Qin Shi Huang and his Terracotta Army, thus giving the resort the locality
and potential to be popular among visitors. Notwithstanding these world
class UNESCO World Heritage archaeological sites, the city also prides itself
in their culture and food.
With the intent of setting this project as the benchmark for their future
resort development in China, the Banyan Tree team was meticulously
involved throughout the design and construction period. Design details
Lighting Images was engaged to
the project in 2012 to provide
lighting consultancy to the entire
development. By then construction
was well under way with the state
guest houses due to be completed
within a few months and we had to
quickly immerse ourselves in getting
familiar with the architecture and
interior designs while concurrently
researching on essences of Xi’an that
we can infuse and express through
light. The lighting system also had
to be energy efficient without any
compromise to the ambience and
user experience.
A ver y strong sense of arrival can be
experienced as guests first step into
the entrance lobby. The grandness of
the space, colonnaded to direct one’s
focus into the central courtyard and
the opera theater beyond it gives
a feeling of respite. Lighting was
kept at a low and dramatic level to
preser ve that view.
The two wings on the left and right
of the entrance lobby leads to the
reception, and group check-in area
with the ballroom, all day dining and
Theater lounge slightly beyond.

The all day dining décor consists
hints of Chinese influences
but with a contemporar y twist.
Lighting was designed to focus
on the food counters and tables
with a second layer highlighting
the décor and artwork.
The signature Angsana Spa is
housed in the basement of the
hotel and is fitted with individual
room lighting controls that
allows the user to be in full
control of the ambience.

facades & landscapes
The hotel landscape consists of
a large peripheral area, which
was treated with simple lighting
equipment
like
the
humble
spike light and wall light custom
lanterns. The central courtyard,
which is flanked with buildings
all around is treated more lavishly
with an assortment of techniques.
The façade lighting within the
central courtyard contributed to
the ambient lighting of the whole
courtyard, which allowed us to
concentrate the landscape lighting
onto the landscape features without
the need to cater for functional areal
lighting of the courtyard.
The façade lighting was minimal
with the use of double beamed wall
lights to accentuate columns and
glow roof eaves. The wall lights were
regimentally used despite changes
in the column geometr y to retain the
colonnaded feel when guests are in
the central courtyard.
The project met with a fair bit of
challenges by way of budget and
coordination but we believe it was
executed with most of the design
intent still intact and Banyan Tree’s
aspiration of making this project
the quality benchmark ver y much
realized. ■

with a landscape architect
and

design expert to bring the
backyard to life at night.
The challenge posed to the
designers was to meet these
requirements with the home
situated in a thickly settled
suburban area with abutting
residences.
The lighting
designer and the landscape
architect worked together
to develop creative ways to
complete the homeowner ’s
request.
The landscape
architect understood the
importance of nighttime
lighting and gave extensive
consideration to this point
during the plant selection
process.
T
his project involved transforming a sprawling, partly wooded backyard of a private
residence into a space that would be an extension of the homeowner ’s indoor/
outdoor living area. The goal was to create an outdoor oasis for the homeowner and
their guests that would allow them to enjoy this part of their home long after sunset
to mingle on the patio or relax in the pool and hot tub. They wanted the design of
the outside lighting to create a visual extension of the indoor/outdoor living area that
included safe, comfortable transitioning throughout the property. The homeowners
wanted privacy and an outdoor environment that welcomed you as much at night
as it did during the day. Over a period of twelve months, the homeowners worked
The lighting installation
began
with
dimmable
recessed LED fixtures in
the indoor/outdoor room
creating a feeling of warmth
and tranquility. The recessed
LED fixtures in this living
space would not create glare
or inter fere with the exterior
lights. The dimming ability
also provided the per fect
amount of light for casual
conversation or viewing
television in this indoor/
61
facades & landscapes
outdoor space. The outdoor areas
required the use of directional LED
luminaries with multiple illumination
levels and varying beam spreads
strategically
placed
throughout
the yard. Our vision was to bring
the landscape alive at night using
the technique of light layering.
Installing tree canopy down lighting
in conjunction with up lighting at
tree bases helped create this layering
effect with the mature deciduous
trees.
The thick, dark green canopies of
the conifers required LED frontal
lights to showcase the shapes and
textures of these trees. The final
lighting composition of the property
perimeter was a visual delight from
the indoor/outdoor living area as
well as the patio and pool area.
This was created with little or no
objectionable light trespassing to
neighboring properties. The project
had a secondary challenge; the
homeowner installed an enormous
white screen to view projected
media for entertainment at the far
62
end of the pool. The challenge was to light the pool area without inter fering
with nighttime viewing of the outside screen. All lighting in this area had
to be subtle, paying special attention to avoid glare. This was accomplished
using the science of photometrics with creative positioning and focusing of
directional luminar y fixtures to assure aesthetically pleasing lighting effects.
This lighting project met the expectations of the homeowner and had a
minimal impact to the abutting residential properties. ■

T
he creative director of Mitrra
Media, a firm dealing with movies,
media and art direction wanted a
career makeover into experience
design. This desire to achieve similar
illusionar y experiences of movies
into interior spaces resulted in the
inception of “Pencil & Monk” (P&M):
a 1000 sq.ft. swanky office space. The
aim was to design a work atmosphere
that provides multiple experiences
and enhances creativity while being
energy conscious. Therefore, both
daylight and electric light played
a key role. Basic daylight design
principles and 100% SSL technology
enabled an overall lighting load of
only 0.4W/sq.ft.
This experience begins with a face
of the Buddha at the entrance wall
that greets visitors. However, only
after entering the main studio is one
able to realise that the Buddha’s face
at the entrance in fact is an optical
illusion. The real face is depicted
on the other side of the same wall,
while the one at the entrance is only
a figure-ground impression. Both
the figure-ground impression of the
Buddha and P&M corporate logo on
the adjacent wall are illuminated
with ceiling-mounted LED spotlights.
The studio has a north facing picture
window that provides a visual link
between the inside and outside
along with ample natural light
during daytime. Although electric
light is not required during daytime,
the studio staffs sometimes tend
to work late and therefore require
adequate nighttime electric lighting.
As the studio was primarily meant to
be an experience centre to educate
clients about the importance of
good design, it was initially decided
to use only a warm and welcoming
colour
temperature
of
3000K.
However, working with different
colours for materials and interior
finishes is a key aspect of experience
design. Therefore, it was decided to
create a neutral colour temperature
island of 4000K in the main work
area that enables better selection of
colours. Ceiling-recessed low-depth
circular LED panels in 4000K are used
to provide glare-free soft lighting
for the main work area. A circular
LED pendant in 3000K is used to
illuminate the meeting cum multigraphic display area. Rigid LED strips
in 3000K integrated into the display
65
spatial envelopes
shelves highlight the interesting
collection of artefacts and books.
Different colour temperatures and
types of light fixtures are used
to create a subtle differentiation
between the activities within the
space.
Two types of LED pendants also
define the two activities in main
cabin. A circular LED pendant similar
to the multi-graphic display area
in 3000K warm-white is used to
illuminate the revolving easy chairs
for video presentation. The cabin
is visually connected to the multigraphic display area in case clients
want to enjoy the display of larger
graphics, from their easy chairs.
However, for private meetings the
main cabin can be visually isolated
from the rest of the office by floorto-ceiling retractable blinds. An
elongated LED pendant in 3000K
warm-white is used to illuminate the
main desk. Similar rigid LED strips
in 3000K integrated into the display
shelves highlight the interesting
collection of artefacts and books in
the main cabin as well. The harsh
evening sun from the west-facing
window of the main cabin can be
completely blocked by means of fully
retractable floor-to-ceiling blinds in
the evenings yet allow some amount
of natural light.

Sometimes a makeover in career requires a makeover in the working
atmosphere. And when the makeover is as swanky as this one, why is anyone
complaining? ■

Striking a balance between energy
efficient lighting and the opulent
glow that a hotel deserves is a
challenge that needs creative
solutions. Light Cibles, the lighting
designer for Sofitel So Singapore,
shares how design constraints can
encourage inventiveness.
B
outique luxur y hotel Sofitel
So is located in Singapore’s
Central Business District area at
Robinson Road. Its façade, which
envelopes the taller, modern
structure, is an iconic heritage
building following the conser vation
principles established by the Urban
Redevelopment Authority. With the
restoration project set to achieve
the BCA Green Mark Platinum
certification,
lighting
design
appropriate for the fashion-centric
hotel must not bust the energy
budget.
Light for the building façade, from
base to crown, is a warm to cool
white gradation to retain timeless
elegance. Timers power off 50
percent of the façade lighting from
9 PM onwards to save electricity.
To prevent unoccupied guestrooms
from being dark, LEDs were
sandwiched between the curtains
and the windows.
As the focal point of the hotel’s
façade, its entrance has to be
grand, warm and welcoming. The
initial plan to highlight the arch
of the entrance facing the busy
junction with a pair of pendant
lights – like pearl drop earrings
framing a woman’s face – had to
be reworked when a glass canopy
was installed. To create the illusion
of pendant lights, metal rods were
fixed to look like they are “piercing
through” the canopy while the
lamps were installed on the
underside.
To retain the original structure of
light fixtures were not permitted
to be inserted into the walls so
compact mount lighting was
used instead with cables running
discreetly along the wall grooves.
Hemispheric
lights
stretching
the path of the walkway too have
concealed cables without drilling
the ceiling.

Behind the traditional façade is an interior with urban chic. Each of the hotel’s
134 guestrooms features a Lightboys roof top light — a square Barrisol lightbox
which gives the viewer a three-dimensional experience of looking up to an
old-world glass dome. The original piece had several light tubes lined vertically
inside the lightbox which had to be reduced to meet the energy budget but
doing so made the gaps dark and obvious, so the lighting designer lit according
to the curves and bars of the print’s geometr y.
Befitting the playful luxur y of the Hi-So rooftop bar which commands a stunning
360-degree view of the city ’s skyline, spotlights give the gold-tiled infinity pool
a glowing splendour, accompanied by complementing points of light on the
steel beams and trees. ■

our giant chandeliers dance to the sounds
of music in the Opera. No, that’s not
a fantastic dream, but the new look of the
old Opera café in Sofia, Bulgaria. Another
successful project of interior design company
IDEA International.
The company known for both its commercial
and residential projects all around Europe
changed the nightclub scene on the
continent once again, this time on home
ground.
Opera café is located in the center of the
Bulgarian capital, in the historic Opera house.
It’s a venue that makes visitors feel like they
are in an art galler y.
IDEA managed to create a unique subtle
contemporar y environment with an open bar
which essentially has no bar sur face but is
rather a series of stone cubes around which
the guests gather.
The biggest reason for pride for the company
is the one of kind kinetic chandeliers. “ The
venue being basically a former hallway – it
is as high as it is wide. To fill this square we
decided we need peculiar chandeliers, but as
the clients wanted to have live entertainment,
the chandeliers would pose a visual obstacle.
So we asked “ What if we could move the
chandeliers out of the way when we need to,
and put them back in when we are done?”
so the idea of the kinetic chandelier came to
life”, said the IDEA’s CEO Alexander Kovachev.
The clients wanted to bring back to life
this former restaurant in the Opera house
by turning it into a venue for the hip afterwork crowd. With the one of a kind bespoke
kinetic chandeliers, an open bar and custom
lighting fixtures IDEA International achieved
a striking result, adding yet another unique
venue to its successful projects. ■

fter our work on the French
Salon, Drawing Room and Ball
Room at Claridge’s, Lighting Design
International’s design skills were
again requested for the new Fera
Restaurant. The main objective was
to create an elegant, young and fresh
restaurant within the double height
space, respecting the Art Deco
glamour of Claridge’s with minimum
obvious intervention.
We worked closely with the interior
designer Guy Oliver of Oliver Laws
to celebrate the Art Deco styling in
new and exciting ways by concealing
the latest technology seamlessly into
all the details for maximum visual
impact that could subtly change
throughout the day.
The joinery into the restaurant starts
through a small door way in a corridor
from Claridge’s. The first impact
is a tiny space surrounded by red
velvet curtain and this leads into the
glamorous rotunda with the gilded
historic ceiling. This was lit using a
perimeter of custom back lit finials
and the marble floor emphasised by
a narrow beam spot set deep within
the ceiling rose.

The Rotunda’s ribbed glass entrance to the main
restaurant is backlit using tuneable white LED strip so
that the colour of light can be from 3000K at lunch time
when daylight comes through the windows to 2200K
at night almost candle like in quality. The drama of the
double height volume was emphasised with the backlit
impressive sunburst laylights. These used the same LED
tuneable strips, again cooler during the day and warmer
at night.
What was essential was to control the sunburst separately
to create contrast and life to the skylight. Detailed within
the beams what appears as dark grilles for ventilation
are the remote controlled pinspots that focus on each
and every table creating an intimate feeling within the
restaurant and are totally concealed.

The whole project was completed in five months, almost
an impossible task, but the team worked closely to

missing when relying on back lit sources alone. This was
a wonder ful collaboration between the owner, interior

L
UCIS Technologies unveiled a cloud-based smart
home lighting and safety console, NuBryte, for all
of a household’s connected needs such as automated
lighting, home safety, and energy management. Users
simply need a screw driver and basic wiring skills to
replace any light switch with the NuBryte console,
immediately transforming their home into a smart home.
When installed, people can control and protect their home
82
via a touch screen control pad, or the free NuBryte iPhone
app. The standalone system also provides easy-tounderstand energy reporting, which helps people reduce
energy usage and save money.
Based on a recent U.S. Department of Labor report on
annual home energy costs, Business Insider estimates
that Americans spend $146 billion on wasted energy
every year. W ith NuBryte, consumers can set their
lighting controls for each room based on their activities
in it, which can reduce excess lighting and cut down
overall energy costs. Over time, the device recognizes
behavioral patter ns based on information gathered from
its sensors, so that specific rooms are lit to the preferred
settings at certain times. Users are also able to adjust
a room’s brightness from any unit or directly from their
smartphones.

NuBryte’s integrated home security system – quickly
becoming one of the central components of a smart home
or building – interrupts intruders with flashing lights, and
alerts users via their phones, allowing them to also activate
the system’s built-in camera to quickly take action.
NuBryte currently provides a family calendar, intercom
communications, gives weather updates and alerts, and
features an open API to support complementary features
from other sources.
“Although there are other solutions contributing to the
energy conversation, we saw a large void for a complete

ridonic unveils connecDIM, an easy-to-integrate
light management system solution for industry and
commerce. The system, comprising connecDIM Gateway
and connecDIM Cloud, combines cost efficiency and
user-friendly design with decentralised light monitoring
and control options from anywhere in the world. Small
applications with only a few DALI devices can benefit just
as much as complex lighting systems in large properties.
A long-term study conducted by Zumtobel in cooperation
with the Fraunhofer IAO has confirmed that the present
lighting situation in offices often does not meet the
requirements of the various groups of users. Lighting
that is tailored to the needs of users has been shown
to improve their well-being and make workplaces more
attractive. More than 50 percent of all employees would
like individually adjustable lighting that they can tailor to
their specific needs and to the requirements of changing
work situations. connecDIM makes this possible. This
light management solution not only enables the lighting
to be monitored at any time and from anywhere in the
84
world, it also allows employees to adjust the lighting to
suit their own individual needs quickly and easily via a
PC or smartphone app. Both the intensity and the light
colour (Tunable White) can be adjusted, thereby making
employees feel more comfortable at work, as those who
took part in the study can testify.

Building operators, facility managers and
operation and maintenance personnel all benefit
from the central monitoring functions. Not only
do they receive an overview of the connected
DALI devices, they can also see any lamp faults,
hardware faults and dimming values at a glance
so they can immediately take appropriate
action. It is also possible to change the energy
consumption without having to be present on
site.
If the luminaire installation is expanded additional
DALI devices can be easily integrated via a PC
or Mac inter net connection or wirelessly via a
tablet or smartphone. This involves addressing
the devices, defining test routines (for example
for emergency lighting operation), setting up
predefined lighting scenes and controlling the
light colour in the case of tunable white.
Four DALI lines each with up to 256 DALI devices
can be connected per gateway. It is immaterial
whether conventional T5/T8 luminaires or the
latest LED luminaires are connected to the DALI
lines.

I
n recent years with LED lighting technology advancement, intelligent
(smart) lighting control systems have become a major growth segment in
the illumination market space. It further extends LED lighting energy saving
and green environment benefits with the advantages of being easy to use,
convenient and providing leverage on the pervasiveness of the Inter net of
Things. StrongLED started the development of intelligent lighting control
system since 2012. Contrary to centralized architecture with the inherent
upfront high cost investment and system option limitations, the J-Link
Smart Lighting System adopts a distributed architecture. Besides a low
up-front cost investment, it is scalable and future-proof as users could
easily add extensions and capabilities with expanded needs. Its design
fits perfectly into contemporary deco too.

lighting controls
J-Link System uses the latest high sensitive capacitive
touch panel control, and wireless communication
technology for the interaction between people and system.
It has taken the user experience into consideration by
intuitive control operation, a simple interface, robust
electronics and low maintenance. A basic J-Link system
can have 1 to 16 lighting control circuits, which are
expandable to a maximum of 1024 control circuits. It can
control almost all kinds of LED lights and conventional
lightings including incandescent lamps, fluorescents and
CFLs. Furthermore, it allows the user to remotely control
all these via the Inter net.
There are a wide variety of touch panels, controllers and
sensors for the customers to choose from, according
to different kind of functions including smart sensors
[motion, voice and photo sensing], Bluetooth receivers,
W i-Fi receivers, RGB controls, circuit controls and lighting
scene/mood controls, DC, AC and RF controllers and
many others. The panels are of industry standard form
factors that are easy to install and the touch interface
icons can be DIY personalized to enhance the uniqueness
and fun by each of the customers.
J-Link Smart Lighting Control System can be used in
residential, hospitality, commercial, office and institution
industries for wide array of controls for dimming, tunable
whites for mood lighting and lighting scenes.
J-Link System is an extremely simple and powerful
system in the world. Simply a touch panel and a small
controller with a set of lamps would be all it takes to build
an intelligent lighting environment.

Kingspan Launches ZerO Energy
Lighting Solution to Cut Business
Energy Costs
» » System combines rooflights, LED lighting
with smart controls and photovoltaic
technology in a single package for the
first time
» » Study suggests solution could offer
annual electricity cost savings of £3.7bn
to UK businesses
» » System typically pays for itself in under
three years; within the ROI threshold for
most businesses
K
ingspan Insulated Panels, a global
leader in the design, development
and delivery of advanced building
envelopes, has launched its ZerO
Energy Lighting solution, helping
businesses to eliminate their lighting
electricity bills.
Kingspan
ZerO
Energy
Lighting
combines the latest in polycarbonate
rooflight products, LED lighting
with smart dimming controls and
photovoltaic (PV) technology to
create a bespoke package offering
optimal lighting all year round. It is the
most cost-effective lighting solution
available to businesses, taking into
account capital and lifetime costs,
while also improving the wellbeing,
safety and productivity of building
occupants.
“This solution is yet another example
of Kingspan fulfilling its promise to
bring cost optimal net-zero energy
solutions to businesses” said Liam
McDaniel, Business Unit Director
– Fabrications, Safety & Lighting
Solutions, Kingspan Insulated Panels.
To
coincide
with
the
launch,
Kingspan has released a report
quantifying the potential electricity
cost savings to businesses in the UK.
Adopting improved lighting systems
alone results in a potential annual
electricity cost saving for businesses
of £3.7bn. The average business
lighting electricity cost would fall from
£25,583 to just £3,837. The report
examines the impact of improved
lighting and controls only; it does not
include the additional potential cost
savings and benefits of the rooftop
solar PV element of the package.
The ZerO Energy Lighting system
blends several of Kingspan Insulated
Panels’ proprietary technologies to
achieve maximum efficiency:

• Kingspan Day-Lite polycarbonate rooflights allow natural sunlight into the
building – up to twice as much as traditional rooflights;
• This natural light is then topped up by new Kingspan Smart-Lite LED
luminaires, which replicate the colour temperature and vibrancy of the
midday sun. Kingspan Smart-Lite luminaires achieve optimum inter nal
lighting with far fewer units than traditional High Intensity Discharge
(HID) fittings, and last far longer, reducing the costs of maintenance and
expensive re-lamping;
• Smart dimming controls can be installed with the new LED lights,
which allow for precise zoning. This typically reduces lighting energy
consumption by 85 – 90%;
• The final part of the ZerO Energy Lighting solution involves the installation
of Kingspan Energy Rooftop Solar PV. This system generates more than
enough electricity to cover the residual lighting energy demand, with the
surplus produced used to reduce other electricity costs for the building,
or sold back to the National Grid.
“For every project we undertake, we aim to deliver an ROI of under three years
based entirely on capital cost versus energy and maintenance cost” explained
Jonathan Dore, Commercial Director, Fabrications, Safety and Lighting
Solutions, Kingspan Limited. “We have achieved this figure for every project
we have worked on to date, and these numbers don’t even take into account
the additional benefits of improved productivity, retail sales etc associated
with better ambient lighting.
“We can also help future-proof building owners against upcoming changes to
legislation. From 2018 it will be mandatory for all buildings with an F or G EPC
rating to be upgraded to a minimum of E. The ZerO Energy Lighting solution
alone will improve a typical G grade building to a D grade, with the same ROI
of under three years. Using other Kingspan products, it’s easy to improve
the rating further all the way up to an A grade, reducing energy bills, gaining
BREEAM credits and increasing asset value.”
Recognising that some sectors stand to gain even more than others from the
Kingspan ZerO Energy Lighting solution, the report finds that lighting makes
up 43% of total electricity consumption in the Warehouse sector; compared
with 22.6% for businesses as a whole. The Warehouse sector could save
£430m in annual electricity lighting bills, while the Retail sector could save
£1.21bn.

LG Chem OLED Light Panel
By LG Chem
www.lgoledlight.com
LG Chem’s largest panel in its
product portfolio and also one of
the world’s largest commercially
available OLED light panels, the
320x320mm Panel is now being
mass produced in Seoul, South
Korea. LG Chem has developed
a number of new applications
to showcase easy integration of
OLED panels such as Mounting
Solutions
and
Transparent
Electrode.
Mounting Solutions demonstrate
easy OLED panel integration
on metal plates by magnetic
connections.
Transparent
Electrode provides a floating
effect of the panel with transparent
mesh conductive film and glass.
The applications are suitable for
fur niture integration, wall lighting,
shelf lighting and more. LG Chem
is currently discussing further codevelopments of the products
with numerous companies and is
still seeking for more collaboration
opportunities.
320x320mm Panel:
The Bigger the Better
The 320x320mm OLED light panel
in LG Chem’s product portfolio
is one of the world’s largest
commercially available panels.
The panel has an efficacy of
60 lm/W, a high CRI (90) and is
only 0.88mm thick. The output is
800lm with a nominal input (8.5V
1,600mA), and is capable of a
maximum 1,200lm output, which
is similar to a common 60-75
Watt incandescent lamp. This is
significant because it marks the
point where OLEDs will not only
be seen as an energy-efficient
and human-friendly light source,
but also come to be seen as a fitfor-purpose and proficient general
purpose light source.

•
Mounting Solutions
LG Chem has developed two types of “Mounting
Solutions” for easy OLED panel installation with
magnetic connections: Rail Connection and Linear
Connection. Both Solutions use 200x50mm LG
Chem OLED Light panels which are 0.88mm thick,
at efficacy of 60 lm/W, CRI of >90 and with 40,000
hrs of lifetime. (LT70)
» » Rail Connection
Each 200x50mm LG Chem OLED light panel is
cased and a DC-DC driver is integrated. The ACDC driver supplies DC to the conductor rail, and
each lighting unit is magnetically attached to the
rail receiving the power.
» » Linear Connection
The Linear Connection Solution also utilizes
200x50mm OLED panels with chrome-finished
casing. Each lighting unit is magnetically
connected with other units in a series, and the
units are also magnetically attached to the metal
surface. When distance between the panels
is required, an extension bar can be placed in
between.
Where to apply...
The mounting solutions can be easily applied
anywhere, from retail store shelving to general
home fur niture.
•
Transparent Electrode
The Transparent Electrode uses 320x110mm OLED
panels. A transparent mesh conductive film, OLED
panel and protection film are laminated on a sheet
of glass. Hence, OLEDs tur n on without direct wiring
to the panels; therefore achieve a floating effect.
The Transparent Electrode would be a great fit for
retail shelving where temperature is a sensitive
factor, for instance in the cases of cosmetics or
food. Different shapes and sizes of OLEDs can be
applied for diverse design needs.

NEOZ released their new generation Cooee Cordless Lamp after 3 years
of R&D. The new design features a single 2600mAh Li–ion rechargeable
battery powering an in-house developed 1W LED light source for 13 hours
of light time.
Unlike conventional LEDs, the NEOZ LED achieves an excellent colour
rendering index of 95+ CRI, this is visually indistinguishable to the traditional
Halogen light source. The warmth produced by the lamp ensures that skin
tones, food colours and textures are seen in the best light – critical in the
hospitality environment. The award winning portable luminaires are also
available in 30 other unique diffuser designs with over 100 combinations
of colours, materials and finishes.

LIZA BY
ELISA
GIOVANNONI
By Slamp
www.slamp.it
The design of the Liza
collection, the first project by
Elisa Giovannoni for Slamp, is
inspired by the classic crystal
lamp shade in a modern and
functional design combining
subtle Baroque evocations. The
hat and the stem of the lamp,
connected by a ring in injection
molded polycarbonate, are both
made of Lentiflex® with thin
vertical slits that project lights
and shadows on the ceiling
and walls. The base transforms
into a source of light thanks to
a courtesy LED arranged inside
(lighting can be independent or
at the same time as the light
source of the hat).
