Ken Burns Bridge Located over a lake that teems with swimmers and boaters during the summer, the Ken Burns Bridge can be viewed by motorists, boaters, swimmers and residents around the lake. Elegant, curved arches are enhanced with color-changing light below deck, while above deck, four 50' tall sail-shaped gateways become color-changing nighttime icons, celebrating holidays, seasons, sports victories and special events. The bridge opened to great acclaim, winning the hearts of residents and becoming a local landmark. In addition to the pre-programmed events, the lighting has been used to express solidarity with France after the terrorist attacks there and to mourn Prince's untimely death. Transparent during the day and visible from all angles at night, the gateway sails welcome motorists and pedestrians to the City of Worcester and Town of Shrewsbury. By way of a custom user interface and pre-programmed events, the owner can create both static and kinetic color-changing events. Source: lednews.lighting

Testing of OLED Luminaires The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has released CALiPER Report 24: Photometric Testing, Laboratory Teardowns, and Accelerated Lifetime Testing of OLED Luminaires, which is the first CALiPER report evaluating the performance of OLED luminaires based on independent procurement and testing. Among the findings: Overall, efficacy of the OLED luminaires was low compared to contemporary LED luminaires, ranging from 23 lm/W up to 45 lm/W. OLED panels range between 42 and 55 lm/W according to panel manufacturer data, and much of the efficacy reduction in the luminaire performance is due to very inefficient transformer and driver selections and combinations. The wider availability of dedicated OLED drivers should improve efficacies in the near future. Light distribution was consistent among the tested products – a soft, diffuse, roughly Lambertian emission, moderated only by the physical configuration of the luminaire hardware. This is expected to produce very soft shadows from objects in the path of the light, and patterns of light on surfaces with very soft gradients at the edges of the “beam.” The drivers for all four CALiPER luminaire types were different, with some luminaires using a single driver and others using a combination of electronic components for voltage transformation, conversion from AC to DC, and voltage/current control. The OLED luminaires performed very closely to the manufacturers’ published technical data, where available. OLED panels, drivers, and transformers are still in a steep curve of development. Goals are higher efficacy; longer life, before panel replacement on the jobsite is needed; better lumen maintenance over time; even better color quality and wider CCT options; higher-efficiency drivers; and robustness under high temperature, high humidity, and rough handling from shipping and installation. Improvements in these areas could make OLED luminaires more accepted in the architectural marketplace, and adopted as a trusted lighting solution.

Cloud lamp/speaker combo brings thunder into your living room Richard Clarkson, a multi-disciplinary interior designer, owns a design studio in New York and New Zealand where he experiments with different products, lights, and furniture. One of his most elegant creations is Cloud, an interactive light shaped like a cumulus cloud lamp that simulates a thunderstorm both in light and sound. As described on their website, the Cloud is an interactive lamp and speaker system, designed to mimic a thundercloud. Using motion sensors the cloud detects a users presence and creates a unique lightning and thunder show dictated by their movement. The system features a powerful speaker system from which the user can stream music via any Bluetooth compatible device. Using color-changing lights the cloud is able to adapt to the desired lighting color and brightness. The cloud also has alternative modes such as a nightlight and music reactive mode. This smart creative lamp/cloud is filled with lights, motion sensors, microphones, and a powerful speaker system. A remote control allows users to set it to different modes, getting it to act like a simple thunder cloud, to respond to movements in its surroundings, or to respond to sounds or music that it hears around it. The cloud-like outer layer definitely completes the illusion giving it the the perfect look. It would make for a fun accessory, just don’t expect to read comfortably under its light. Check out this awesome GIF of The Cloud showing off its capabilities. You can check out Clarkson’s page to learn more about the Cloud, or even purchase your own for a few thousand dollars. You’ll also find cheaper versions with less functionality on the site, too.

The Effect Of Coloured Light On The Human Body Artists and interior architects have long understood that colours can affect our feelings, emotions and mood. This is why the rooms in a hospital are often green – green calms and reduces stress. Other colours such as red, orange, yellow, blue, etc., have a different effect on the body. Chromotherapy, a.k.a. colour therapy studies these effects. Chromotherapy or colour therapy is based on the premise that colours and light can be used to correct physical ailments. Depending on the location and nature of the ailment a specific colour may ease it. One of the first scientists to consider the effect of colours was August Pleasonton. In 1876 he published ‘The Influence of the Blue Ray of Sunlight and of the Blue Color of the Sky’ in which he studied how blue can stimulate the growth of plants and cattle. He also mentioned that this colour can help make the human body better. This book introduced chromotherapy into modern medicine. Colour therapy should not be confused with light therapy. In light therapy a person is exposed to a bright white light over a certain time. Light therapy is often used to treat skin diseases (more specifically psoriasis), sleep disorders and certain psychic problems. Colours and their meaning Studies have shown that people are able to distinguish approximately 10 million colours. These colours can be broken down into three primary colours: yellow, red and blue. Usually in chromotherapy, the secondary colours are added, more specifically orange, purple and green. Each of these colours has a certain meaning: Red – The libido booster Red is a warm colour linked to the kidneys, backbone and sense of smell. This colour gives more energy and is ideal for people who are often over-tired. Active people can use red light therapy to combat muscle and joint stiffness. And finally it also boosts sexual desires. Yellow – The depression killer People with a difficult digestion can treat this with yellow light. This colour is associated with the stomach, liver and intestines. People with a depression could also benefit from yellow colour therapy. Blue – The bringer of peace Blue is the counterpart of red. It can be used to lower high blood pressure or calm people down. Blue light can also help in the treatment of migraine. Your throat, ears and mouth are linked to this colour. Green – The strength provider Green is the colour of nature. Green light therapy stimulates the creation of growth hormones and strengthens muscles, bones and other tissues. It can also boost your body’s immune system. Purple – The Nightcap Purple light can help you fall asleep. It also reduces emotional and mental stress. The nervous system and eyes are linked with this secondary colour. Contrary to red light, purple light decreases sexual desires. Orange – The creativity source Does your job demand a lot of creativity? Then orange can help. Orange stimulates the creative thought process and helps you come up with new ideas. This colour is linked to breathing. Breastfeeding women could benefit from orange light because it stimulates the production of breast milk. Coloured lighting cannot only create a certain atmosphere, it also affects our body. Source: dmlights

While offering the same look as neon, led neon flex use less energy while offering greater durability With its art décor-inspired architecture and many dining, arts and entertainment options, the Tower District just north of downtown Fresno, Calif., is a highly desirable area to live. Unfortunately, affordable housing can be hard to find — putting the district out of reach for many entry-level renters. But now just to the south — on what previously was an empty and unsightly lot — a new 31-unit live/work development called 541 @ South Tower offers an affordable, stylish alternative for young professionals. Located between the Tower District and downtown Fresno, the development was designed by Marvin Armstrong, Architect and features the art-deco flair seen on many area buildings: curved ornamental elements and geometric designs outlined in what appears to be colorful neon. However, the lighting is actually iLight Plexineon — LED fixtures that offer all the advantages of neon, without the downsides. “The overall effect is really striking. You can see it from the highway. The quality of the light is so strong — the line work is really good, and the brightness and color are just perfect.” – Marvin Armstrong, Principal, Marvin Armstrong, Architect Source: ilight-tech

Delbrück upgrades to innovative LED streetlighting Streetlight 10 LED luminaires from Osram enable the town of Delbrück to simply upgrade to innovative and cost-saving LED technology. High-efficiency Siteco Streetlight 10 LED luminaires were used to modernise streetlighting in the German town of Delbrück. Up until 2018 a total of 351 linear luminaires with T8 fluorescent lamps, mainly cambered mast luminaires from the 1970s, are to be converted to LED lighting. In a first step in 2016, 119 light heads were replaced with Streetlight 10 LED luminaires as a simple and cost-saving upgrade to latest state of LED technology. Energy savings of 25,000 kilowatt hours will be achieved annually by this alone, providing CO2 savings of approximately 295 tons over the complete service life. Source: osram-group

Osram Lighting Solutions hat für die Nordichallen, eine moderne Ausstellungs- und Fußballhalle in der schwedischen Stadt Sundsvall eine innovative LED-Hallenbeleuchtung geplant und realisiert. Die neue Lichtlösung erfüllt die professionellen Lichtanforderungen des Schwedischen Fußballverbandes und spart gleichzeitig rund 65 Prozent Energie. Der heimische GIF Sundsvall, ein Verein der höchsten schwedischen Fußball-Liga Allsvenskan, nutzt die Halle für sein tägliches Training, Hallenturniere und Freundschaftsspiele. Die Nordichallen in Sundsvall liegt auf Nordschwedens größtem Sportanlagen- und Messegelände Gärdehov, das neben Fußball auch als ein regionales Zentrum für Eishockey, Unihockey, Eiskunstlauf und Curling fungiert. Die Halle mit einer Fläche von rund 11.000 Quadratmetern und einer Deckenhöhe von knapp 22 Metern beinhaltet seit 2011 auch einen mobilen Full-Size-Kunstrasenplatz. Mit einer Größe von 105x65 m erfüllt dieser sogar die Anforderungen für internationale Wettbewerbe – und erlaubt somit nicht nur die Nutzung für den Fußballbreitensport durch ansässige Vereine und Schulen, sondern bietet auch die flächenmäßige Voraussetzung für professionellen Fußball. Bislang erfüllte die Beleuchtung in der Nordichallen jedoch nicht die lichttechnischen Anforderungen des Schwedischen Fußballverbandes für Vereine in der ersten Liga, beispielsweise hinsichtlich Blendungsbegrenzung und gleichmäßiger Ausleuchtung. Nach sorgfältiger Planung und exakter Berechnung installierte Osram anstelle der bisherigen 500 konventionellen HID-Leuchten mit jeweils 400 W in der Sporthalle 411 innovative LED-Leuchten mit jeweils 181 W. Die eingesetzten Siteco-Leuchten vom Typ LS160 LED sorgen für deutlich bessere Lichtqualität und erlauben dank satinierter Prismenoptik für verringerte Blendung sogar den direkten Blick in die Leuchte. Außerdem liefern sie flickerfreies Licht für Videoaufnahmen – vom Handy bis hin zu HDTV mit Superzeitlupen. Dank modernster Technologie und höchstem Wirkungsgrad heben die neuen LED-Leuchten das durchschnittliche Beleuchtungsniveau in der Halle von 400 Lux auf nun 800 Lux. Auch aus wirtschaftlicher Sicht lohnte sich der Umstieg von konventioneller Technologie auf eine langlebige und effiziente Lichtlösung mit LED. Die neue LED-Hallenbeleuchtung sorgt für eine Energieersparnis von rund 65 Prozent sowie deutlich geringere Wartungs- und Betriebskosten.

New LED lights save money on energy and maintenance How many workers, and how long does it take to replace 5,000 street lights? Well, let's put it this way: Last month, White Plains and the New York Power Authority started a $3.6 million project to replace all of old high-pressure sodium lights in the city with new LED bulbs. On any given day, weather-permitting, up to four two-member crews are out on city streets, replacing lights. They expect to finish by July. "It's a big job, but in the long run, it will be worth it," said John DiPilato, supervisor of the Bureau of Street Lighting for the city's Public Works department. "The LED lights are cheaper, more durable and use less electricity. We'll save money both on maintenance and electrical costs." Throughout the region, communities are switching over from old sodium lights to LED bulbs, which, thanks to improvements in technology, provide substantial savings. The lights are guaranteed for 10 years and normally last twice that long. They use 30 to 40 percent less electricity than sodium or fluorescent bulbs and throw off what DiPalato described as a "cleaner light" that seems brighter than conventional bulbs. New Rochelle, Yonkers, Peekskill, Scarsdale, Hastings-on-Hudson and Rye Brook are among the Westchester municipalities who have made, or are making the change. "It's happening all over the state," said David Maya, the NYPA conservation program engineer managing the White Plains replacement program. Rye Brook spent $261,500 to replace about 645 street lights last year, in a project that took about four months. They expect to save $48,246 a year on the LED lights. Source: lohud

The Health Benefits of LED Lighting Unlike conventional incandescent or fluorescent light sources, LEDs emit light at very specific wavelengths. Physiologists and psychologists have long understood how light can affect a person’s natural circadian rhythms. Consider, for example, the growing number of diagnoses of “seasonal affective disorder” that affects individuals in northern climates who have very limited sunlight disclosure during winter months. LED lights are now seen as a potential remedy for individuals whose circadian body clocks have been interrupted by environmental or other conditions. Source: specgradeled

How Light Affects our Heart and Health In addition to illuminating our world, light affects our health and the advances in LED technology are promising for public health. Scientists have long recognized that human metabolism moves through cycles that are synchronized with natural 24-hour “circadian rhythms.” Anything that interrupts those rhythms, including exposure to extended periods of bright light or absences of light, can affect a person’s health and psychological condition. For example, people who live in far northern or southern climates and who have little exposure to sunlight during winter months can suffer from “seasonal affective disorder”, which is a form of clinical depression. Recognizing this, lighting designers and engineers are now paying greater attention to how their products affect the health of individuals who are exposed to those lights. Source: specgradeled

Warm white or Cool white? Colour Temperature - With conventional lamps, choosing the “colour of light” emitted by a lamp was not a choice that was generally made. With some LED products, there is a choice of colours, choosing a colour will set the mood of your space. Correlated Colour temperature (CCT) in lighting describes how the colour of the light appears from a lamp, measured in kelvins (K). Imagine a scale from 1000K (very red) to 10,000K (very blue) (actual scale is wider). The higher up the scale you go, the closer the light resembles blue daylight. Confusingly, colour temperature does not describe the actual temperature of the lamp itself but the colour it produces and counter-intuitively; the higher the colour temperature the “cooler” a lamp will look. Put simply, colour temperature is based on how the colour of heated metal changes as its temperature is increased - turning from red to yellow then blue. You can then determine the temperature of a heated metal by its colour. This range of colours at different temperatures has become useful for describing the colour tint of white light. The colour of light from an LED lamp is approximated or “correlated” to this scale. Warm or cool? There are no rules - the choice is about personal preference and use. If you like the traditional yellowish colour of a conventional lamp then warm white around (2700-3000K ) would be the ideal choice, this is the most popular choice for homes. If you want a modern, clean look, you may prefer the cleaner, brighter feel of a cool white lamp (4000K+). Cool white light contains more blue light and looks brighter to the eye (this is why cool white bulbs have a higher lumen output when compared to the equivalent warm white bulb). It also seems people from sunnier countries tend to prefer white light compared to people from cooler countries who prefer more warm light. In commercial applications choosing the right colour temperature is important and will depend on the mood you want to create and the products you are promoting - for example freshly baked cookies and bread may look better under a warm white light. A cool white light may not make the product look as appealing but it would be a good idea to do some trials to see what works best. Where can I use them? Below are some common areas where the different colours can be used: Warm to Warm white – living room, bedroom, hallway Day White to White – kitchen, study, bathroom, cupboard, office, retail White to Cool white - Commercial, retail, art studios Allow some time to get used to any change especially if changing from warm to cool white.

Liz West’s Sevenfold, Großbritannien Lichtdesign: Liz West Produkt: XOOTUBE™ HYDRA HD15 Kunde: The Met Ort: Bury, Großbritannien Fotos: Jim Stephenson Herstellung: M3 Industries Als „The Met“ im Dezember 2016 seine Pforten nach einer Sanierung von 4,6 Millionen Pfund wieder öffnet, befindet sich im Zentrum des historischen Gebäudes eine neue Kunstinstallation der international renommierten Künstlerin Liz West. Die Installation „Sevenfold“ wird die Fertigstellung dieses Projektes markieren, bei dem einer der führenden kulturellen Livemusik-, Theater- und Kunstschauplätze des Nordens im Herzen von Bury verwandelt wurde. Die mit dem Ort interagierende Installation wird den großartigen Eingang und die Treppe des viktorianischen neo-klassischen Gebäudes mit lebendigen Farben und einem Gefühl der Illusion erfüllen. Licht ist sehr wichtig für Lizs Arbeit, und dies ist ein Raum, der mit natürlichem Licht überschwemmt wird. Die Installation nutzt das Tageslicht, um die Architektur und die Pracht der Met-Architektur der 1840er Jahre zu illuminieren. „Sevenfold“ nimmt Bezug auf Newtons Regenbogensequenz von Rot, Orange, Gelb, Grün, Blau, Indigo und Violett. So wurden sieben (sechs Prismen in der Hauptinstallation sowie ein Mini über der Rezeption) individuelle und weite Prismen geschaffen, die Spiegel verwenden, um die Farbe weiterzugeben und Elemente der wunderschön restaurierten Architektur wiederzugeben. Als die Besucher die Treppe hinaufsteigen, finden sie sich auf Augenhöhe mit dem Kunstwerk wieder und bekommen die Chance, „Sevenfold“ in leuchtender Gänze zu bestaunen. David Agnew, künstlerischer Leiter von The Met, sagt: „Wir wollten das Licht und das Gefühl der Verjüngung feiern, dass die Restauration dieses atemberaubenden Gebäudes unterstützt und möglich gemacht hat. Die Vision dieses Projektes ist es, die Vergangenheit zu nutzen, um die Zukunft zu beleuchten, die Lizs Stück perfekt verkörpert. Während die Menschen das Gebäude betreten, können sie das visuelle Spektakel von „Sevenfold“ genießen, wie es die ungeheure Weite und Komplexität der viktorianischen Stuckarbeiten erleuchtet." Liz West sagt: „Ich freue mich, dass ich die Gelegenheit für meine erste permanente Installation bekommen habe. Es ist eine Ehre, dass ich gebeten wurde, ein neues Werk in einem so großartigen und vielseitigen Rahmen zu schaffen. Die lichtbasierte, theatralische und immersive Natur meiner Arbeit passt perfekt zu „The Met“ und der Gebäudenutzung. Ich hoffe, dass die Besucher meine Arbeit viele Jahre genießen können und in der Lage sind, jedes Mal neue Elemente innerhalb der Installation zu sehen, wenn sie sie betrachten.“ Liz lebt und arbeitet in Manchester, nachdem sie an der Glasgow School of Art studiert hatte. Zu ihren Aufträgen und Residenzen gehören: Bristol Biennale; Naturhistorisches Museum, London; Neue Kunsträume der Castlefield Gallery, Manchester; Königliche britische Gesellschaft der Bildhauer, London; Nationales Medienmuseum, Bradford. Im Jahr 2016 wurde Liz für den Aesthetica Art Prize und die Lighting Design Awards nominiert. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter: http://www.led-linear.com/de/

301 Howard Street Lobby, San Francisco Architekt: Huntsman Architectural Group Lichtdesign: Birkenstock Lighting Design, San Rafael Produkt: VarioLED™ Flex PHOBOS White TV IP67, VarioLED™ Flex HYDRA LD15 Kunde: Vanbarton Group Ort: San Francisco, USA Fotos: David Wakely Photography Das Gebäude liegt im Herzen des aufstrebenden Transbay-Terminal-Bereiches, an der Ecke von Howard und Beale Street, und litt unter einem seltsam gestalteten Eckeingang und wenig genutzten Einzelhandelsflächen. Um in der umliegenden Stadtentwicklung wettbewerbsfähig und attraktiv zu bleiben, benötigte 301 Howard Street eine umfassende Renovierung. Die neue Vision war klar: den unverkennbaren Gebäudeeingang in ein gemütliches und provokatives Leuchtfeuer verwandeln, das als neue öffentliche Anlaufstelle für Mieter und Besucher dient. Der erste wesentliche Schritt bestand darin, den Gebäudeeingang von der Ecke zur Mitte der Howard Street-Fassade neu zu positionieren. Der neue Standort bietet klarere Sichtlinien, verbesserten Zugang und vergrößert auch die vermietbare Verkaufsfläche im Erdgeschoss. Eine inspirierende Metapher wurde für das Design der Lobby durch das Konzept der Gezeitenbewegung – „Push and Pull“ – hergestellt. Diese Geste korreliert direkt mit der historischen Küstenlinie der Bucht von San Francisco und der städtischen Erneuerung der SoMa Nachbarschaft, die einst selbst ein Hafen war. Die Wasser-Metapher findet Resonanz in allen Aspekten des Lobby-Design, von Licht und Materialität bis zur Auswahl des Mobiliars. Schichten aus geschliffenem Putz bieten eine dramatische Kulisse an der Deckenebene, weiter betont durch Lichtlinien. Hier wurde die VarioLED™ Flex HYDRA LD15 W835 mit opaler Abdeckung eingesetzt. Diese wellenförmige Bewegung spiegelt sich im Terrazzo-Bodenbelag, wo Glasstücke eine glänzende Leuchtkraft erzielen. Die strukturierte Betonwand im Kern des Gebäudes dient als elegante Interpretation eines Deiches, während die mit Holz verkleideten Aufzugsvorräume Holzdocks imitieren. Die maßgeschneiderten Sitzplastiken des berühmten Künstlers Matthias Pliessnig wurden bewusst in Trommeltönen gefärbt und sind wie die leichten Seeschiffe konstruiert, die der Künstler auch produziert. Der Rezeptionsbereich wurde mit der VarioLED™ Flex PHOBOS TV in W827 beleuchtet, um ein weiches warmes Licht zu schaffen. Da natürliches Licht den ganzen Tag über durch die Gebäudefassade dringt, sind die Beleuchtungslevel im Innenraum entsprechend variiert. Hierdurch entsteht ein neues spannendes Szenario, jedes Mal wenn man die Lobby durchquert. Durch ein zurückhaltendes und dennoch auffallendes Design verbessert die neue Lobby die Besuchererlebnisse und schafft ein starkes Gefühl für den Ort.
