|
|
The needs and challenges
of the lighting designer
Jeffrey I.L. Miller, President
-- International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD)
Director
-- Pivotal Lighting Design |
|
| |
|
Lighting design is applied
art and demands a comprehensive "palette" of tools for it's
success. While energy-saving initiatives have narrowed that tool set
over the last decade, LED-based lighting has the potential to broaden
it far beyond what it has ever been before. But it has to work, and
given that SSL luminaire "manufacturers" now number close
to 500 companies, there is a lot of opportunity for poor quality implementations.
Jeff will attempt, in his unique way, to help frame the challenge,
and the opportunity, that SSL offers to lighting designers.

Enabling solid state lighting
success
Govi Rao, Chairman & CEO --
Lighting Science Group Corp.
Former
VP & GM -- Philips Solid State Lighting North America
|
|
| |
|
The reality of solid state
lighting came into existence only as recently as 2002, with the commercialization
of the first blue LED. In just 6 short years, it has become the predominant
technology in a number of lighting related applications, and with
current-generation efficacies, is now being deployed in a growing
variety of more general purpose applications. Luminaire designers
are faced with an unprecedented knowledge base that is required to
"get it right". How will the SSL industry provide a solution,
and what's really at stake in getting it right?

Considerations in selecting
color changing luminaires and control systems
Barry Weinbaum, Chief Executive
Officer - Renaissance
Lighting |
|
|
|
Color mixing and control
is the key. Find out how the luminaire manufacturers are tackling
this complex challenge to make it easier for designers to implement
their vision and control the color palette of an LED-based lighting
installation.

Lighting the Night/Wide-area
Luminaires: White lighting on the street
Eric Haugaard, Director
of New Technologies - Beta LED Lighting |
|
|
|
Solid state lighting
fixtures are moving virtually overnight from a "possibility"
to a "requirement" for difficult to maintain exterior environments,
and the business case is becoming plain to see. From street lights and tunnels
to parking structures, cost-effective, high quality options are rapidly
growing in availability.

Making the Photons Count:
Putting the light only where it's needed
James O'Connor, Business Development
Manager - Carclo Technical
Plastics |
|
|
|
The directional nature of
an LED allows the luminaire's light output to be shaped to meet the
specific application most efficiently.

Building by Day, Video Display
by Night: Media facade case studies
Matthew Tanteri, IES, IALD, SBSE,
Principal - Tanteri & Associates,
LLC (View
Bio) |
|
| Keynote |
|
Perhaps some of the most
dramatic LED lighting applications are on building exteriors. Matthew
Tanteri will present a brief history of media facades, including case
studies of his well-recognized Chanel buildings, in order to provide
a big-picture insight into the key ingredients, including client perception,
team- and system-elements that the designer must consider to maximize
a project's success and impact.

Standard Color-Changing Exterior
LED Lighting Systems
Kevin Furry, Chief Technical
Officer - Lighting Science Group
|
|
|
|
How standard are the "standard"
exterior lighting systems components? Horror stories can make it sound
as though it's a painstaking process that requires a lighting designer
to think like a semiconductor technologist. But if that's not really
the case, does it mean you can successfully "mix and match"
from a parts bin, add a control system and expect a quality result?
|
|
| |
The Questions to Ask About
Luminaire Lifetimes
John "Jack" Curran,
PhD, President - LED Transformations |
|
|
|
A solid state lighting luminaire
is a system, not just a group of LEDs wired together. 50,000 hours
average lifetimes for all the parts in the system do not add up to
a 50,000 hour system. What do you need to ask a luminaire provider
to have confidence in the quoted lifetime?

A New LED Approach: Creative
arrays add options for designers
Keith Scott, Vice President, Business
Development - Bridgelux |
|
|
|
New approaches that can enhance
a a variety of areas, including efficiency, color temperature, optical
control, color-mixing and luminaire form factors.
|
|
| |
Versatility in Design: Thinking
out of the box
Dr. Christian Hoepfner, Vice President
of Products - Luminus Devices
|
|
|
|
You can shine the light at
shade, but what could you do if you built the light into the shade?
And is it all about "the most lumens per watt" or are there
other considerations that provide new benefits or enable new applications?
|
|

Recessed Fixture Retrofit
Case Studies
Paul Pickard, Vice President,
New Product Development - Cree
LED Lighting Systems |
|
|
|
Real customers are happy
with real installations and getting a real payback. Is it really from
an LED-based recessed fixture?
|
|
| |
Fluorescent Fixture Replacements:
Cost effective solutions are ready now
Tracy Earles, Vice President Sales
& Marketing - Albeo Technologies |
|
|
|
The directional nature of
LEDs suggests that ceiling mounted fixtures are a natural fit, but
compared to the efficiencies available in today's fluorescent, or
even HID fixtures, does the business case support an SSL solution?
With all the "coming soon" conditioning over the last 18-24
months, today's answer may surprise you.

Conventional HB-LEDs Today,
Organic LEDs Tomorrow
Brian D’Andrade, Senior Scientist
- Universal Display Systems
|
|
|
|
Organic LEDs, or "OLEDs"
offer incredible potential to "panelize" the light. Some
recent milestones suggest this "futuristic" lighting might
be here sooner than you might think.

Section 4: Tools for
discerning what works and what doesn't
(or... separating the wheat from the chaff) |
|
| |
What they mean by "Lighting
Quality LEDs" - Is there really a difference?
Daniel Doxsee, Senior Sales Manager
- Nichia America Corporation
|
|
|
|
In the building trade, there
is a definite difference between residential- and commercial-rated
materials. You get what you pay for, and the business case strongly
favors the higher initial investment. Find out what "lighting
quality" really means for general, architectural, medical and
other demanding applications so you know the right questions to ask.

Energy Star: It's not just
about lower watts anymore
Jeff McCullough, Senior Research
Engineer, Energy and Environment Directorate - Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory |
|
|
|
The US Department of Energy's
(DOE) Energy Star specification for LED-based lighting includes a
series of comprehensive quantitative measures that go far beyond simply
how much electricity it uses. We'll hear details on that program,
as well as an update and review of the DOE's Caliper program, which
has measured the real efficiency of a number of representative fixtures,
and compared the results to the label.
|
|
