The best and brightest creative minds from around the world came together in Sydney in late May and early June to network, collaborate and explore the businesses of the future. The Vivid Festival was an outstanding success which planted the creative seeds of ideas and imagination which contributes to the fast growing creative economy needed for the future.

3S Lighting Makes Substantial Contribution - Vivid Sydney Success

www.3Slighting.com

The conspicuous standout of the

Festival was the sculptural light

walk. It was sheer magic, combining

commerce, art and technology and

created a totally immersive experience.

There were more than 60 light art

sculptures and installations, 10 CBD

illuminated skyscrapers and large scale

projections to include Customs House

building façade and in Campbell’s

Cove precinct there were 8 landmark

building facades. It was a glittering

showcase of imagination, creativity

and manufacturing expertise. And, of

course, this was the natural theatre to

stage the expertise of 3S Lighting.

3S Lighting enthusiastically supported

the Vivid Festival and dedicated their

expertise in supporting 3 installations:

Aurecon with Water Droplet and

worked closely with the Lighting

Designers, Destiny Paris and Ching

Hui. The installation by Haron Robson

– Lightmatters was Infinity Squared

with Bow Jaruwangsanti as the Senior

Lighting Designer supported by Kristy

Philp, Christa Van Zoeren and Catalina

Chica. Sydney University named their

installation, Chromapollination with

the Program Director of Illumination

Design, Dr. Wendy Davis. She had

a back-up team of several Lighting

Designers and Professor Warren Julian

was the Co-ordinator.

Aurecon with Water Droplet

Destiny Paris, Lighting Designer at

Aurecon was extremely enthusiastic

with the outcome of the Festival saying

” the Vivid Festival was an opportunity

for our engineering industry and

industry suppliers to come together in

collaboration in a creative realm and

showcase the innovative and artistic

talents that live beyond our technical

skills and competencies. It was an

opportunity to harmonise engineering

principles with creative possibilities.”

She went on to emphasise, “Working in

partnership with the talent within the

3S Lighting team enabled a vision to

be brought to life. The sculpture was

constructed to meet tight engineering

tolerances which enabled it to weather

the 2 week period. 3S Lighting’s

experience and capabilities in providing

customised solutions along with their

generosity in sponsorship of time,

labour, and facilities saw the Water

Droplet team members working in

unison to do something out of the norm,

coming together with enthusiasm and

team spirit throughout the process of

creative design, fabrication and delivery

of a quality finished product. It was a

thoroughly fulfilling experience to be

involved in and our deepest gratitude

goes out to the 3S lighting team for

their generosity, time and effort.”

Sydney University and

Chromapollination

Dr. Wendy Davis, Program Director

Illumination Design from Sydney

University described how the student

www.3Slighting.com

members of the team developed the

initial design for their Installation.

She pointed out that an early cost-

saving suggestion made by 3S was to

use as many off-the-shelf aluminum

parts as possible for the sculpture, so

the structural engineers from Partridge

reworked the design accordingly.

During fabrication, 3S designers

transformed the student’s vision of

the dandelion head into a 3D model

to suit their fabrication process. The

end result was better than they could

have imagined. According to Dr. Davis,

“Because of the involvement of 3S,

the aesthetics of the dandelion heads

were showstoppers during the Vivid

Sydney festival.” The fabricator for the

overhead part of the structure, which

was also designed by the students and

modified by Partridge, fell through at

the last minute. Dr. Davis said, “We are

incredibly grateful that 3S stepped in

to create that portion of the sculpture.

The commitment by 3S to ensure that

this project was successful was very

impressive.” Dr. Davis went on to say,

“As an educator, it was important to

me that the students experience many

facets of the lighting design process

and public art installation throughout

the preparation of the sculpture, so I

was delighted that 3S Lighting allowed

the students to view the process and

the fabrication at their facility. With

guidance and oversight from the

3S engineers and fabricators, the

students were shown from 3D design

to the finished product, the entire

manufacturing process. In the final

installation, those poles contained fiber

optics, which created a fantastic visual

effect.”

“The role of 3S during installation was

invaluable. Bump-in at Vivid Sydney

was a stressful time for everybody

and the highly skilled and calm

professionals from 3S Lighting greatly

exceeded our expectations. They were

focused on bringing the students’ vision

to reality and didn’t hesitate to help us

modify the sculpture on site.”

Dr. Davis strongly emphasized that

Vivid Sydney had been amazing for

creating opportunities for emerging

artists and designers. She believes it is

also a remarkable tool for shining the

spotlight on the field of lighting design

and sparking the imagination of the

public.

Haron Robson and Infinity Squared

Bo Jaruwangsant the Senior Lighting

Designer at Haron Robson also was

impressed with Vivid Sydney. She

said, “Vivid Festival was a great

opportunity for us at Haron Robson to

give something back to the community

by creating an interactive illuminated

sculpture.” She indicated that it also

allowed Haron Robson to showcase

their capabilities to the public with

a great support from people in the

lighting industry like 3S Lighting.

“We were fortunate to get 3S Lighting

to help us with the factory processes

and installation on site. From day one

we worked closely with the 3S Lighting

team to ensure we achieved the design

and met the structural engineering

requirements. Obviously it was really

important for us to get an input from

the 3S design team to help select the

right material, advise on manufacturing

details and building the structure of

the sculpture. For both teams the Vivid

light sculpture was a great way to do

something different from our everyday

design.”

10 L IGHTING MAGAZINE | August/September 2012

I am writing this on the eve of an operation to

remove the cataract from my left eye. What

is being removed is the lens of my left eye; the

cataract is the result of the ageing of the lens. There

is nothing unusual about cataracts since we will all

develop them or die first. Cataract is the yellowing

(brunescence) and increasing opacification of the

lens with age. The view through the lens is not unlike

that through a dirty windscreen – light is scattered

producing a veil of light through which the contrasts

of the environment need to be detected in order

to see. The cataract results in disability glare and

less light reaching the retina. The disability is most

noticeable at night when small bright sources

appear as starbursts.

I now believe what I have taught for years

regarding the ageing process on the visual system;

it’s not that I didn’t believe, it’s just that seeing is

believing. Or is it? I see as before, perhaps “through a

glass darkly”, since all I can see is what my eyes detect

and what my brain interprets. When I look at a scene,

what I see is the results of my brain’s interpretation

of the combined image from each eye. Mostly, I’ve

been unaware of the gradual yellowing; everything

is normal, as it was to Monet as he painted the pond

near his home but to younger viewers his paintings

showed a pond that seemed to be more yellowish as

time passed. I notice the effect if something blocks

part of the scene – for example, looking at a white

wall with a post between me and the wall. In that

case, the post prevents both eyes from seeing the

whole of the scene; only one eye will see part of the

scene, so there is no merging of two views of the

same thing. On one side of the post I see a yellowish

area where the right eye’s view is blocked and a

“whiter” view on the other side. If I view a scene with

only my right eye it is bright and clear; with my left

eye it is less bright and a bit fuzzy but white is still

white. In both cases the visual system decides what is

“white” – in photography term it sets the white point.

And when I view the world with both eyes, another

white point is set. So can I believe what I see? The

answer must be yes, since there is no alternative but

that doesn’t mean that I see the same as anyone

else. You can appreciate the difficulties facing those

seeking a robust model of colour vision and how we

perceive the coloured world.

Brunescence comes from the French for brown

(brun), similarly the French for yellow (jaune) gives

us jaudice and a “jaundiced (envious or distasteful)

view of the world” whereas “seeing through rose-

coloured glasses” is much more optimistic (rose<Latin

rosa<Greek rhodon).

Rose-coloured glasses give me the segway into

the theme of this issue: lighting energy efficiency.

Whilst many articles on this subject are certainly

seen that way, Darrin Schreier’s paper on

sustainability raises interesting points from the

viewpoint of procurement of luminaires.

Maybe it is time to introduce a new “disease” or

syndrome verdescence (again, from the French verd

for green) possibly defined as “the ability to see

almost any product, packaging or service as having

little deleterious effect on the environment and in

some cases a positive effect by ignoring inconvenient

facts.”

Hopefully, my jaundice view will be corrected

following the cataract extraction, giving me an ever

so-slightly rose-coloured view of developments in

lighting. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this issue.

SEEING IS BELIEVING?

CAN THE MARKETING MANAGERWAIT 10,000 HOURS?

Dear WarrenThe recent position statement from the Society on LED/SSL sources

and luminaires implores us “to demonstrate leadership, integrity,

and professional competency”, particularly on issues relating to

the lifetime and lumen maintenance of LED products. The principal

source of reference is the IESNA’s LM-80-08 Approved Method:

Measuring Lumen Maintenance of LED Light Sources, but the

procedures given in this document leaves us some way short of

being able to achieve those lofty aims.

If a supplier quotes the L70 rated lumen maintenance life of a

LED source to be, say, 50,000 hours, then for this to be based on

actual measurement it would have been necessary for a batch of

these sources to have been operated for at least 5 years and 8 months,

and we know that nothing of the sort has happened. LM-80-08 states

that “the unit shall be driven for at least 6,000 hours with data collection

at a minimum of at least 1,000 hours. 10,000 hours are preferred for

the purposes of improved predictive modelling.” The report does not

suggest how predictive modelling, improved or otherwise, should be

conducted.

It is not too difficult to picture the situation where the photometry

manager has been batch testing the latest LED prototype around the

clock for the past 36 weeks and has at last accumulated 6,000 hours

of data. Perhaps he would like to be able to go on for the 10,000

hours target, but that would take him into next year, and as he cannot

for ever ignore the marketing director’s screaming for product, he

knows that he has to do some predictive modelling. There is no clear

guidance on how this process should be performed. I have read that

among the difficulties is the characteristic of some LEDs to display

gradually increased output during early life before settling down to

a slow rate of decline. It would seem to me that whether working

from 6k or 10k hours of data, determining the point at which the

projection of the gradual slope of lumen loss will intercept the

70% of initial lumen output parameter is likely to depend at least

as much on intuition as on science.

So I find myself faced with the problem, how do I distinguish

between data from suppliers? In fact, should I have faith in any

of them?

– Kit Cuttle

Havelock North, New Zealand

RESPONSE FROM:David Lewis, Vice President, IESANZWhat Kit says is true and indeed adds to the debate. There are

no sure-fire answers. As the position statement mentioned LED

(general) lighting is an immature and evolving technology –

what was true last year even is no longer! Providing advice about

the performance of such a product in 5 years time let alone

10 years raises huge challenges. The lack of substantial Standards

and the slow pace of emerging Standards unfortunately permit

the spread of misinformation and misunderstanding. It is

reminiscent of the whole genesis of CFL in the 1980/1990’s.

The prime aim of the Position Statement was, despite the

standardisation limitations, to remind members and associated

built environment disciplines (and the general public) of the need

for the principles of good lighting practice to be followed when

it comes to lifetimes and lumen maintenance.

The Position Statement is published in this issue – Warren

RLP OR RLP?Dear WarrenIt seems that the original intention of the special IES lighting

qualification of RLP is being changed by misuse of words.

Firstly, we have the President’s Message (Lighting June/July 2012)

referring to RLP as “the only recognised qualification for competency in

lighting design, within Australia and New Zealand” and then identifying

RLP as “Registered Lighting Professional” whereas, in fact RLP, is “Registered

Lighting Practitioner”. Then we have the IES web site also referring to the

RLP qualification as the “Lighting Designer’s qualification”.

Now while there would perhaps be no objection to changing

“Practitioner” to “Professional” I would have first wished to have

seen a draft official IESANZ statement of change of description

with a justification statement for discussion, before its usage, if that

is suggested to be the way to go. And, while I have no objection

whatsoever to experienced lighting designers obtaining this superior

qualification, my understanding is that RLP was never so narrowly

conceived but was available to be granted to any area of lighting skill

such as say an automobile lighting equipment expert or say a lighting

consultant specialising in legal lighting matters to illustrate unusual

kinds of lighting occupations that could also qualify and be useful in

their work. The legal lighting consultant illustration is a very apt one

and that individual’s standing in the courts would be significantly

enhanced by holding an RLP qualification of IESANZ Ltd. Enhanced

lighting skills of many different kinds should always be considered and

recognised for this special IESANZ qualification of RLP.

Welcome to the Light Ages

P R E S I D E N T ’ S M E S S A G E

As the year speeds past, we are again in the thick of the IES

The Lighting Society’s lighting awards program. Each Chapter

will be judging the entries received in each of the awards. The

significance of each award is highlighted by the detailed level

of scrutiny given to each entry by the highly respected and

experienced judging panels. I would like to give you the readers

an insight into the process.

For the four categories within the Luminaire Design Award

(LuDA), locally developed products will be submitted for

judgment on: complexity or difficulty of the problem faced by

the designer; uniqueness of concept; originality of design for the

application; effectiveness of light control in achieving the design

objective; choice of lamp and components selected; simplicity of

manufacture; mechanical soundness of construction; compliance

with the appropriate Australian and/or New Zealand Standards;

energy efficiency; cost effectiveness; quality of materials and

finish; use of available Australian and/or New Zealand sourced

components; quality assurance in manufacture; ease of installation;

ease of maintenance; and marketability.

For the Lighting Design Award (LiDA) this entails judges visiting

each site for close visual scrutiny thus avoiding the potential

for deception through photography. Judges will consider how

the designer addresses: visualisation and perception (including

receptiveness, brightness, contrast, uniformity, comfort, task,

colour, render, style, space); innovation and integration (including

uniqueness, special effects, technique, luminaire, daylight,

architectural, residential, commercial, landscape); requirement

and operation (including illumination levels ASNZS compliance,

codes, luminaires, budget, operation, maintenance, safety and

security); environment and sustainability (including aspects of

lamp, energy, efficiency, control system, glare, obtrusiveness,

pollution, community, wildlife); art and science (acknowledgement

of design driven predominantly by technical, visual or architectural

aspects); recognition of difficulty.

I’m sure you will agree that any recipient of these merit based

awards after being subjected to such a level of scrutiny, is entirely

deserving of the recognition they receive. This is the reason why

these awards are so coveted within our industry. There is no greater

scrutiny of one’s professional work and there is no greater reward

than peer acclaim.

The other awards which I have written about in recent times

are the Student versions of the LuDA and LiDA as well as the

recently introduced Lighting Technical Representative Award

(LiTRA). Details of a new award the Daylight Award will be

provided in the near future.

The CIE (International Commission on Illumination) is holding

a conference on “Lighting Quality and Energy Efficiency” from

18 - 21 September in Hangzhou, China. I have been invited to chair

a workshop on “Building energy regulations and their influence on

achieving good lighting quality in buildings”. This is a critical topic

for our industry due to the current Watts per square metre approach

to reducing lighting energy use in buildings.

The implementing of such basic lighting regulations insinuates

that the science of lighting design and associated human factors

are not advanced or mature enough to ascertain an annual lighting

usage and consequently an energy budget for a lighting application

pattern for an occupied building. Other building elements though,

such as thermal envelope performance, which rely on annual

predictive weather patterns and human factors (such as blind usage,

and door and window closures) are deemed to be competent and

sufficiently accurate for use in similar energy use determinations.

I am hoping that this workshop will explore these topics in

detail with a view to developing an industry position on the

competencies and capabilities of the lighting industry to address

lighting quality in buildings in a more sophisticated way while still

supporting the globally acknowledged priorities of sustainability

and energy efficiency.

L ighting contributes significantly to New Zealand’s energy

consumption – in excess of 3.8 PJs of electricity each year in the

residential sector alone, or around eight per cent of New Zealand’s

total residential electricity consumption.

To help businesses and consumers identify the most energy

efficient lighting products available, New Zealand’s Energy Efficiency

and Conservation Authority (EECA) is launching the ENERGY STAR –

Luminaires specification V1.1 in New Zealand on 1 November 2012.

“With an ever increasing variety of lighting products available

and such variance in performance, people can find it difficult to

identify the most energy efficient, best performing luminaires

and lighting products” says ENERGY STAR Programme Manager

Chris Forsman.

“The blue ENERGY STAR mark is already well recognised by

consumers, helping them identify the most energy efficient products

in areas such as whiteware and TVs. Introducing ENERGY STAR for

luminaires provides consumers with a simple way to recognise the

most energy efficient, best performing lighting products across the

board. For lighting suppliers, the ENERGY STAR offers a strong point

of difference in a demanding and competitive market.”

The benefits extend into the commercial sector, where the

ENERGY STAR Luminaires specification is an ideal tool when

specifying products in both residential and commercial projects.

The ENERGY STAR Luminaires specification was developed

by the US Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) and released in the USA

on 1 April 2012. There are several

minor amendments to meet the New

Zealand version of the specification,

mainly around downlight classification

and compliance to AS/NZS60598.2.2

(incorporating New Zealand-only Amendment A). The

specification excludes street lights, office pan fittings, canopy,

high bay lights and public amenity lighting fixtures. For a copy visit

http://www.eeca.govt.nz/standards-and-ratings/energy-star.

This ENERGY STAR Luminaires specification complements existing

LED light bulb and CFL product ENERGY STAR specifications.

What is ENERGY STAR? The blue ENERGY STAR label is the internationally recognised mark

of energy efficiency, and is awarded to around the top 25% most

energy efficient products. With consumer awareness at 78% in

New Zealand, the label makes it easy for consumers to identify

products which offer ‘best in class’ energy efficiency, without

sacrificing performance or features.

The Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS)

Bill 2012 was introduced into Parliament on 30 May 2012.

The GEMS legislation is scheduled to commence on 1 October 2012.

The GEMS legislation will create a national framework for the

Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) Program by replacing seven

overlapping pieces of state legislation, provide for enhanced

monitoring, verification and enforcement and will allow for the

scope of the E3 Program to be expanded. The Australian Regulator

will replace state regulators in enforcing regulations.

Suppliers who hold current state-approved registrations will

be given a transitional period of at least six months to transfer

their registrations to the national system. This transfer will be

done via an online upgrade facility on the Energy Rating website,

with no fee charged for transferring the remaining registration

period for each model.

The Australian Regulator will have the power to issue

infringement notices or ask businesses to compensate consumers

for the cost of products that do not comply with regulations. This

continues the current practice of the State regulators under the

existing E3 Program. For more serious breaches of the law, the

GEMS legislation will allow the courts to impose financial penalties.

In practice suppliers of the various equipment types covered

by the E3 Program should notice very little difference following

commencement of the GEMS legislation.

Further information will become available through

of the project, most notably issues of contrast, glare and safety. Energy-

efficient metal halide and LED lights were used within the structure,

augmented externally by metal halide luminaires and LED uplights.

Award of Excellence to Chris McKenzie, Kenderdine Electrical and Geoff Waller, Beca Carter Hollings & Ferner for Auckland International Airport

A wide view of the airport retail area. Olympic Park solar-LED lighting.

The lighting concept for the Olympic Park Pathway required

an integrated lighting-power-control solution that was

aesthetically pleasing during the day and provided a high level

of visual comfort at night. Hooded luminaires, mounted at 6m,

contain light spillage and impart a perceived human scale to the

project. In addition, the dark grey colour chosen for the columns

recedes at night, helping to minimise the visual impact.

With typical ceiling heights up to 5.5m and multiple open-

plan areas of more than 2000m2, a site-specific custom

lighting design had to be adopted for the new Christchurch

Civic Building. Long-run extruded aluminium luminaires, in 10m

lengths to suit the dominant grid of beams and columns, were

used to give an average of 320 lux over the entire work plane.

This required the use of twin high-output fluorescent lamps,

generally unheard of for traditional office lighting.

The DOT 92 luminaire.

IES Luminaire Design Award – Excellence to Frank Austin, Nimbus Lighting Group for the DOT 92 LED

T5 high-output lighting has changed the warehouse

lighting market in New Zealand over the last few

years. Enlightenz luminaire designers carefully analysed

the local and international markets to clearly identify

the requirements of an optimised range of products for

this important sector. Considerable research and testing

has resulted in Enzobay. With advanced batwing or

parabolic optics, Enzobay achieves market-leading light

output ratios of 96% and 99% respectively. L

IES Luminaire Design Award – Commendation to Trevor Murray, Enlightenz for the Enzobay 454 BW

JUDGES COMMENTS: The use of powder-coated

extruded aluminium in the outer frame

not only provides for excellent thermal management

but also creates an architecturally appealing offering in what is

predominantly an industrial market. The ability to combine sensors, choice of

optics, accessories and ease of installation all equate to a commendation.

JUDGES COMMENTS: Excellent attention to thermal management, device colour

rendering and reflector design has created an LED down-light

luminaire that is comfortable in any architectural environment.

In particular the physical size is appropriate for the lumen package

on offer whilst still enables good control of glare. The luminaire also

has a very nice appeal when unlit, which is many times the failing of LED based

luminaires and also manages a very competitive price. Whilst still requiring some

minor finishing details this prototype is indeed excellence in luminaire design.

Boasting a 25,000-hour life span and

power usage of 14.5 watts, the DOT

92 LED offers running cost savings of up

to 85% over a 100W incandescent (GLS)

downlight – at 25 times the life expectancy.

When compared to a 20W compact

fluorescent-integrated (CFL-I) downlight, the

DOT 92 LED offers 25% savings on running

costs with more than three times the life

span. Its compact 100mm height also

makes it ideal for confined ceiling spaces.

By utilising new-generation GR14q-1 base

14W and 17W compact fluorescent

lamps, the DOT HE Series offers true compact

fluorescent downlighting for general commercial

usage. Coupled with the DOT lamp Optimizing

Positioning System, luminaire efficiencies have

been increased by between 20-30% (dependent

on model). The GR14q-1 base twist-and-lock

feature makes for easier lamp replacement, and

fewer breakages than standard push-in bases.

IES Luminaire Design Award – Commendation to Frank Austin, Nimbus Lighting Group for the DOT HE Series

JUDGES COMMENTS: High light output ratio, good control of high

angle glare and the adoption of the latest

lamp technology all combine to make an

excellent downlight. The selection of trims and

accessories is well thought through and combined

with the competitive price makes this luminaire

worthy of commendation.

F E A T U R E IESANZ Position Statement

Designing with or specifying LED (SSL) luminaires is no different

to any other luminaire. Depreciation and maintenance factors

should be applied according to good lighting design practice and the

appropriate application standard. LED lamps are also known as SSL –

solid state lighting. LED is used here as the generic term.

Despite the marketing claims of long life, LED lamps suffer a loss of

light output over time just like any other light source. Because of their

long life, specifying the maintenance factors requires a slightly different

approach but the fact remains any design or specification must include

factors for losses.

Professional and responsible lighting designers should always follow

best lighting practice; and provide practical and sensible information to

the client and the general public at large.

“IES: The Lighting Society expects its members to demonstrate

leadership, integrity and professional competency by adhering to

accepted lighting design principles and to also provide clarity on such

matters when communicating to their clients. It is a demonstration of

these qualities that should define and identify a Member of the IES to

the broader community

– Steve Coyne, PreSident, ieSAnZ.

BackgroundLED lamps have been around for a long time – even the ‘white light LED’

appeared in 1996 – but recently the technology and marketing has taken

a quantum leap. LED lamps have become the flavour of the moment!

LED lamps are still in a relatively early stage of development and a

long way from being a mature product. Efficiencies, colour quality and

reliability will continue to significantly improve over the coming years. It

is quite possible that the LED modules of today (2012) will be obsolete

within five or at least 10 years. It is extremely important therefore to be

aware of the implications of the claimed so-called super long lifetimes.

How to specify or provide professional advice on this topic is not

that new. Consider these claims:

z Long lifespan – between 65,000 and 100,000 hours depending on lamp

model.

z Very high energy conversion efficiency of between 62 and 90 lumens/Watt.

z Minimal Lumen depreciation compared to other lamp types.

z “Instant-on”

Is this an LED lamp? It could be but this ‘white light’ lamp became

commercially available over 20 years ago (1990) and like the LED lamp

was actually invented decades earlier. These performance descriptions

are of the (fluorescent) induction lamp.

So the issue of how to specify and design with long life lamps has

been with us for some time. It is only because of the rapid market

penetration and possibly dominance of the LED lamp that the lifetime

issue has become a hot topic.

Unlike other commercial lamps (incandescent, halogen, fluorescent

or HID) but similar to the induction lamp, generally the LED itself never

really ‘burns out’ – it just gets dimmer over time.

So, internationally, the lighting industry has settled on defining LED

lamp lifetime metric by emphasising lumen depreciation.

The standards to define and control this approach are in their

infancy but the most common metric is the L70.

US EnergyStar Definition: Rated Lumen Maintenance Life (Lp):

The elapsed operating time over which the LED light source will

maintain the percentage, p, of its initial light output, e.g. L70 (hours):

Time to 70% lumen maintenance. (IES LM-80-08).

Typically the industry standard for LED lamps is around 50,000 hours

to 70% lumen maintenance. Like all lamps the light output will degrade

over the first few thousand hours of operation followed by a slower rate

of depreciation by up to 30% after 50,000 hours.

For decorative and accent applications, it is common to recommend

useful life as the length of time it takes an LED light source to reach

50% of its initial output (L50).

Like the induction lamp before it, the life of the LED lamp is dictated

by the driver electronics which typically has a 50,000 hour rating. Of

course, in practice other factors will affect the real lifetime – most

critically ambient temperature and thermal properties. This is

especially true of poorer design quality LED luminaires.

Quality performance over lifeLumen maintenance is only one of many factors in determining the

quality of an LED lamp or LED luminaire. The important factors are:

z Initial Luminaire Lumen Output L100.

z Photometry at L100.

z Lumen Depreciation Life L(x); where x is the percentage of L100

at the declared life – L90, L80, L70; and L50 (for decorative lighting

applications). Note: standards and terminology are still evolving

and sometimes, confusingly, lumen depreciation will be noted

differently2. The L(x) system appears to be the most accepted3.

z Failure Fraction F(x); where x is the percentage of failures at L(x).

z Colour Temperature at L100 and any shift at 25% of rated life.

z Standard Deviation of Colour Matching (SDCM) for colour

consistency – values at L(x).

z Colour Rendering Index (CRI) Value. Note: a new method of

defining colour rendering is being discussed internationally, the

CQS – the Colour Quality System developed by the (US) National

Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)4.

z Colour Maintenance or Colour Rendering Index Value Shift at L(x).

z Luminaire Electrical Characteristics; total power consumed, power

factor at initial and 25% of rated life (with a maximum duration of

6000 h).

A system approachMost important of all, assessing, specifying or designing LED life

should be based on a system approach. In the real world the LED

lamp will be housed in some sort of luminaire – however basic or

sophisticated.

The LED lamp or ‘module’ also requires electronic control gear

known as a ‘driver’. A LED module may have a L70 lifetime of 100,000

hours but if the driver lasts only 50,000 hours, the combined ‘system’

or ‘LED light engine’ can only practically be considered to have

a life of 50k hours. Most reputable or responsible manufacturers

standardise their drivers as having a 50,000 hours lifetime – which

thus becomes the practical life of their LED lamps.

It is not uncommon to find lifetimes of only 10-15,000 hours for

a LED driver – a fact to be aware of. The other parts of the heart of

the LED luminaire system are the mechanical, thermal and electrical

interfaces at the ‘back end’; and the photometric interface at the ‘front

end’ of the LED light engine. Be aware too of efficacy – there is module

efficacy and system efficacy e.g. a module could claim 94 lm/W but the

system efficacy (with the control gear) could be 79 lm/W.

All these factors can directly affect the performance of the

LED lamp.

LED/SSL LIGHT SOURCES AND LED/SSL LUMINAIRES Lifetime and Lumen Maintenance


F E A T U R E IESANZ Position Statement

Ten things to note or be wary of1. A marketing claim: “The extremely long life of an LED bulb will

virtually eliminate your maintenance costs.” The key word is “virtually” –

not “totally”.

The reality is there will be failures; and the luminaire itself will

accumulate dirt and dust needing cleaning. In instances where LED

lamps are justified to be used in “high, difficult to access” locations,

cleaning will still be an issue – thus a maintenance cost.

2. A 50,000-hour “life” for an LED lamp is not equivalent to lamp

life rating. – L70 LED life is rated where it has reached 30 percent

lumen depreciation. At the L70 figure, say 50kh, an LED would still

be operating but at an ever decreasing lumen output.

LEDs have relative limited temperature tolerance. Heat severely

affects light output and life.

z The LED itself generates a lot of heat and a well designed heat

sink is critical to its performance.

z The heat sink5 gets hot – that’s its job – but that heat needs

dissipating.

z Some reputable manufactures state that if the chip temperature

is increased by 10 degrees, the lifetime will be halved.

3. Take care with retrofit solutions – the physical shape and size of

the lamp plus the delicate thermal control issues can severely alter

the optical and other performance factors especially life.

4. Example: many LED MR16 replacement lamp claims 50,000 hours

of lamp life with the provisos:

z Requires adequate ventilation around the lamp housing to

ensure peak performance and lifetime expectancy

z Is not recommended for use in sealed luminaires

z Is not recommended for use with recessed luminaires or within

small enclosures unless air exchange or cooling within the enclosed

air space is provided.

5. Not all manufacturers comply with the L70 (and L50) standards

when stating lifetime; and consider warranties carefully against

the product ‘lifetime’ claim of, say, 100,000 hours.

6. Be aware of the difference between module efficacy and

system efficacy.

7. LEDs operate better in cooler ambient environments.

8. Some LEDs can flicker. There are many different LED “driver”

technologies – some producing a variety of flicker characteristics

in SSL systems under specific conditions, notably dimming.

9. Standards (for LED sources), both Australian and International,

are constantly evolving. Regularly check the status of applicable

standards.

10. Always look for a reputable LED luminaire manufacturer that publishes

detailed product specifications that are measured in compliance with

the IEC and Australian Standards performance requirements. And

read the small print. Consider quality as a priority every time!

... and one moreSaving energy should never be the only objective – appropriate and

elegant design suited to the application should always override all

else. “The right light in the right place at the right time!” ... an old adage

but still true!

Designing and specifying lifetimesThe overall important approach is to use common sense. With the

claimed long “lifetimes” the designer is faced with what values to use

for the usual lighting design parameters, in particular the maintenance

cycle.

Ensure the LED source lifetime is matched to the application – L70

being the norm (except for decorative and accent applications where

L50 is common) and based on recommended operating conditions.

Opt for a reputable LED manufacturer – both module and

luminaire – who offer a comprehensive set of published specifications,

photometric data, and related information.

Leading LED luminaire manufacturers, using quality components,

design their luminaires to be durable, reliable and outlive the LED

source. Choose an integrated component quality complete system over

a mix-n-match.

Indoor Applications

Leaving aside the room surface depreciation factor, the luminaire

dirt depreciation factor becomes the main decision. By definition of

course L70 value translates to a 0.7 lumen depreciation factor. With

lifetimes of 50,000 to 100,000 hours, the luminaire cleaning cycle

takes on a relatively more important influence.

It would also be worth considering raising the IP rating when

specifying or designing a project. With no apparent need to change the

lamp, there is no need to access the ‘internals’ of the luminaire –

in theory it could be sealed. This would improve the maintenance

cycle (less accumulated dirt of optical chamber) and reduce cleaning

times (less surfaces to clean). The ‘sealed’ luminaire of course would

have to be designed to cope with the thermal issues of the LED engine

to ensure the lifetime performance of the LED lamp.

Outdoor Applications

In outdoor applications the IP rating of an LED luminaire takes on

a more significant role. If an LED source is chosen for, say, a street

lighting project on the basis that the exceedingly long life means

drastically reduced maintenance costs, then the IP rating becomes a

critical factor.

With a typical lifetime at L70 of 50kh, a best case scenario of (say)

IP65 and a very clean environment, the luminaire dirt depreciation

factor (LDD)6 is around 0.87. So the design factor from a maintenance

standpoint is 0.87 x 0.7 = 0.6 which could be considered an

“uneconomical proposition”!

Practical applications e.g. car parks, industrial spaces, etc, the

LDD ranges from 0.59 to 0.79. Thus the design factor could be between

0.41 and 0.55. The economic argument for LED becomes

not so crystal clear. These scenarios of course assume no cleaning

cycles are applied. The real world of economics does not often include

cleaning outdoor luminaires unless a lamp change is required.

Using an LED light engine, an outdoor luminaire can afford to have

a higher IP rating – to reduce the need for cleaning internal surfaces.

Therefore cleaning could become a question of ‘self-cleaning’ (rain) or

‘hosing’ (common for instance in tunnel lighting). See also “LED Array Issues”.

Consider supersession and obsolescenceAt the current rate of ‘turbo’ development, today’s LED products may be

obsolete in 5 years ... certainly superseded! LED technology is not mature

and, at best, the products and standards today could be considered

‘transitional’. But LED systems being designed and installed today will

have an expectation of having an extended life. The designer still needs

to apply the same professional design standards to the project.

Example: an international manufacturer’s Zhaga compliant

module provided 52 lm/W when launched in 2009; the exact same

module in its 3rd generation (2012) produces 95 lm/W and 80%

increase – in 3 years. Other newer module types (2012) are now

reaching 135 lm/W surpassing T5 fluorescent lamps.

LED array issuesLED sources are small and you need a lot of them to get equivalent

light output to conventional lamps. In many cases a luminaire relies

on having an integrated array of regimentally arranged LEDs. This

is typical of the higher lumen package luminaires like floodlights and

street lights. The question of reliability of the LED sources becomes

a critical issue. Choosing a reliable and reputable manufacturer is an

important consideration and should be carefully balanced against the

relative cost of the system components.

An LED array has the potential for discrete failures in specific

parts of the lighting distribution and in applications such as street

lighting, this could be critical. Outwardly the luminaire may still

appear to be functioning yet its original designed light distribution

is compromised. It is clear that the failure rate of an LED array-based

luminaire cannot be accurately defined by applying the individual

LED module failure rate. Other array based luminaires could potentially

express such a problem – for example a floodlight with an asymmetric

light distribution.

Maintenance recommendations and procedures need careful

consideration. In reality it is no different to current technology

streetlights which may utilise more than one (fluorescent or HID)

lamp – the issue has always been there. New ‘smart’ technology

may permit practical ways of dealing with the problem.

Particularly for street lighting, future standards may require some

sort of local internal failsafe switch to turn off the luminaire should

an individual LED fail? ... or some other ‘intelligent’ control?

End of “life” considerationsThe end of useful life of the LED technology is a major issue. At the

end of the LED rated life e.g. 50,000 hours, what to do? For those who

remember, there is a danger of the “Mercury-Vapour Lamp Syndrome”.

In inaccessible areas and outdoor – especially street lighting – the old

MV lamp had a habit of lasting ‘forever’. Very little light coming out of

it but it was still ‘operational’.

We are faced with the same issue for LED. An L70 50kh LED

installation on a 24 hour duty cycle will be ready to be replaced

in about 5 years (taking into account irrecoverable losses

recommended in AS1680). A possibly typical commercial instillation

might be 10 years. In each case the LEDs will still be producing light!

Sustainable lighting design is more that achieving a watts per metre

square target; it should consider the entire lighting system – from

the materials used, the location of the manufacturers and the ongoing

maintenance.

The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) has provided the

construction industry with a series of tools1 for sustainable new and

existing buildings, in both design and construction. These are known

as Green Star tools and their application provides the building with a

Green Star rating (4 to 6 stars, with 6 being the highest possible rating).

On average, lighting contributes to approximately 10% of the overall

points that are required to obtain a Green Star rating. The criteria target

lighting energy use, however, there is no consideration for the whole of

life, maintenance or recycling opportunities of the lighting installation.

Case studyThe case study project is the new Queensland University of Technology

(QUT) Creative Industries Precinct Phase 2 (CIP2) building at QUT’s

Kelvin Grove Campus. The CIP2 building is a 12,000m2 teaching

building for Creative Industries Faculty designed by the Richard Kirk

The futureTwo things are absolutely certain – one is that LED lighting is here to

stay and will become the dominant light source technology; and, two,

that LED lighting technology will evolve rapidly.

Today’s LED modules and systems will change, will improve, and ...

will be superseded! Standards will struggle to keep up.

Look for quality ethically designed future-proof technical

philosophies from reputable global manufacturers.

The big LED developments today are in power management and

optics. Integrated power systems show real reductions in energy use.

Optical design is searching out new possibilities in light distribution

and control.

LED lighting will evolve into a vastly new, different, more efficient

and varied choice.

Designing with or specifying LED luminaires is no different to any

other luminaire.

Depreciation and maintenance factors should be applied

according to the appropriate application standard and good lighting

design practice.

Figure 3 shows the technical innovations for the lighting design.

Long life lamps have additional selection components and Figure 4

shows those for selection of LEDs.

Minimising lamp selectionsThere are many different lamps types available in a range of wattages,

colour temperatures and colour rendering properties; for fluorescent

lamps these come to about 250 (see Figure 5).

For every type of lamp installed in a building a spare lamp(s) have

to be kept as spare to allow replacement if required to be undertaken

quickly and with minimum disruption. If a building has 50 different

lamp types and 2 spare lamps are kept for each lamp type this equates

to 100 lamps. If a project has had lamps carefully selected with the goal

of reducing lamps and has a total of 10 different lamps types and 2

spares are kept for each lamp, that project will have 20 spare lamps.

A review of various projects completed with in Brisbane within the

last 5 years found the following lamp variations shown in Table 1. The

data indicates that reducing lamps variations is often overlooked; most

designers focus on the lamps required to achieve maximum energy

efficiency and illuminance.

Note: Project 3 was extrapolated on a lamp/m2 rate against typical projects.

CIP2 Case Study

The lighting design of CIP2 uses a minimum of lamp types: 28W T5

3000k (warm white) fluorescent lamps and LEDs. There are 2340 28W

T5 fluorescents lamps and 1170 LED luminaires. The 28W T5 fluorescent

lamp is the most common of the T5 fluorescent lamps.

The reduction in lamp types was achieved by using 3x28W T5

luminaires for cove lighting instead of 2x54W T5, for “low bay” workshop

lighting (instead of 100W metal halide) and by using 1x28W T5

luminaires for office lighting at a closer spacing than is typically used for

office lighting.

The remaining CIP2 spaces not illuminated with fluorescent

utilize LED. The LEDs have been selected carefully to ensure that

life is maximised and replacements are available. To assist in future

maintenance, all LEDs used will be warm white (3000K ±200K) and

records of LED binning and batch will be recorded in the O&M manual

so that replacement LEDs will match the colour and appearance of the

original LEDs. LED lighting has been used in lieu of halogen and high

intensity discharge (metal halide) lighting in areas where accent and

architectural lighting is required.

One lamp colour temperature has been used for all spaces, including

offices; 3000K was selected because its warm tone compliments the

extensive use of timber and concrete finishes.

Locally manufactured luminairesTo minimise the overall carbon footprint of the lighting, consideration

should be given to where the luminaire is manufactured in relation to

the project site. For projects located in capital cities it is possible for

25% of luminaires to be sourced from local manufacturing facilities

within 100km of the site. These luminaires should be bulk packaged

to reduce the amount of cardboard packaging required for transport

and the luminaires should be transported directly to the site from the

manufacture’s facility.

While it is acknowledged that the majority of the world’s luminaires

are manufactured in Asia or Europe, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne

and Adelaide have local luminaire manufacturers producing a variety

of luminaries. Where appropriate, these manufacturers should be

considered before imported luminaires. Examples of local luminaire

manufacturers by city include: Brisbane (Frend Lighting, Spectra

Lighting, Megabay Lighting, Zenith Lighting and Intralux), Sydney

(3S Lighting, Pierlite, Thorn and Harcroft), Adelaide (Moonlighting) and

Melbourne (Eagle Lighting, Darkon).

An example of the potential carbon savings bu using local

manufacturers follows. A typical 1x28W fluorescent batten weighs

2kg; a project may require 200 battens at a total weight of 400kg.

The carbon to transport 200 fluorescent battens 100km from local

manufacturer to site is 0.079 tonne of carbon while the carbon created

transporting 200 fluorescent battens from China via sea freight is

1.039 tonne and 1.092 tonne for air freight3. (see www.log-net.com/

sustainability/index.php).

CIP2 Case Study

In selecting luminaires for the CIP2 building, a selection hierarchy

of manufacturers was derived to utilise local (Queensland-based)

and Australian manufacturers where appropriate. The hierarchy was

follows: local manufacturers within 100km of the site, then Australian

manufacturers and finally international manufacturers.

As a result of this careful selection 32% of the luminaires

specified were manufactured within 100km of the CIP2 site. These

manufacturers were Frend Lighting, 14km from site and Megabay

Lighting, at 14km, saving about 960kg of carbon or six trees grown

for 70 years4. Further, 39% of luminaires specified for the project are

manufactured in Australia. These manufacturers are Darkon Lighting

(Melbourne) and 3S lighting (Sydney) with the remaining from

European manufacturers. This has saved approximately 1739kg of

carbon or eleven trees grown for 70 years.

Reduced maintenance through the use of long life lampsOften lighting designers give limited thought to this by beyond

selecting typical lamp types with appropriate lamp life, efficiency

and colour. The lighting design can be optimised and future

maintenance can be reducing by the careful selection and

specification of lamps. There have been many advances in lamps

in the past decade and this has not been limited to just LEDs. Tubular

fluorescent lamps with 50,000 hours rated life are available (but at

an additional cost). Table 2 (see page 36) compares long life and

generic 28W T5 fluorescent lamps.

Long life 50,000 0.75 0.95 $25.00

Generic 20,000 0.85 0.8 $10.00

The long life lamp will last 2.5 times the generic lamp at 2.5 times the

cost. If the lamp is installed in an easily accessible location and has a total

replacement time of 15 minutes (including getting ladder and lamp from

spares store and returning ladder and discarding old lamp) at $35 per

hour for maintenance staff, the generic lamp has $18 additional cost in

replacement, giving the generic lamp a total cost of $38 to the $25 for

the long life lamp. The 28W T5 fluorescent lamp contains 3mg of mercury,

the disposal of two generic lamps will see 6mg of mercury in landfill or

at recycling stations before the long life lamp reaches it rated life.

A responsible designer should consider the lamp type with the

same importance placed on the luminaire and other components

of the lighting system. The lamp has a considerable impact on the

sustainability of the lighting installation.

LED lamps are often promoted as green, long life and sustainable. In

fact LEDs are subject to the same flaws as traditional lamps; they have

lumen depreciation and mortality facts to consider5.

LEDs: Myths about Performance, Maintenance – Facility Management

Lighting Feature6 claims: “Some manufacturers tout a life cycle of up

to 50,000 hours. In fact, while manufacturers are improving product

performance with each generation, testing by the US Department of

Energy (DOE) found that about one-quarter of the solid-state lighting

(SSL) products would not pass a 1,000-hour operational test, meaning

they do not last as long as a traditional incandescent lamp … Efficiency

of LEDs can vary with some LEDs being only as efficient as a halogen

lamp with the best white LEDs having a similar efficiency to fluorescent

lamps … Some fluorescent, metal halide, and halogen products offer

efficiency levels equal to those of LEDs, for example, while some LEDs

offer 40,000 hours of useful life, some fluorescent products offer a

similar performance life at a fraction of the cost”.

With the above in mind when designing using LEDs, care should

be taken to select luminaires where the LED light source or lamp can

be replaced. This often requires a commitment from the manufacturer

that the LED (lamp, module, light-engine) will be available for the life

of the installation.

CIP2 Case Study

A minimum of 95% of fluorescent lamps specified for the CIP2 building

have a rated life of 50,000 hours with a 90% lamp survival rate and

85% lumen maintenance at rated life. A minimum of 90% of LED

lamps/luminaries specified for CIP2 have a rated life of 50,000 hours

with a 90% lamp survival rate and 85% lumen depreciation at rated life.

Test reports, in accordance with the IESNA LM80 test method for the

LED lamps/luminaires are to be provided.

Use of lamp and luminaire manufacturers committed to environmentally responsible manufacturing techniquesIt is the responsibility of the lighting designer when selecting

luminaires and lamps to consider how they are manufactured.

Luminaire and lamp manufacturers should at a have a corporate

sustainability policy demonstrating their commitment to minimising

their environmental impact. These policies should be able to be

provided upon request and contain some or all the following:

Resource and energy management

Optimisation in the use of electrical and heating/cooling energy

by implementation of energy-saving measures. Water consumption

reduction by recycling and installation of photovoltaic systems

Recycling program

A range of waste products arise during the production of luminaires.

Therefore, is it desirable to reduce the overall amount of waste for

disposal and to raise the proportion of recyclable waste. Use of

certified waste disposal companies to be sure that waste is transported

and treated correctly when it leaves the factory.

Use of materials and processing

Where process materials are used for production, the intention

should be to limit the impact on people and the environment

throughout the entire product life cycle. For example, use of

water-based paints and innovative mild cleaning agents, instead

of aggressive solvents, while avoiding the use of chromium-based

coatings. As this is not always possible, the impact on people and

the environment is kept as low as possible through technological

and organisational measures7.

CIP2 Case Study

Of luminaire manufacturers selected for use on the CIP2 project, 98%

have corporate sustainability policies that address the above factors.

SummaryIn summary, the lighting design for the CIP2 project has set a new

benchmark for sustainable design opportunities for new/future

projects. Sustainable achievements are:

z carbon saved using local manufacturers 960 kg or 6 trees grown

for 70 years,

z one fluorescent lamp type, 28W T5 fluorescent and only 24 spare

lamps with 75mg of stored mercury,

z one electronic control gear type used for fluorescent lamps and

z 100% of lamps used have a rated life of 50,000 hours, saving

14 grams or mercury from landfill.

A summary of the sustainable benchmarks achieved is shown

in Table 3.

ConclusionsThis paper outlines sustainable and best practice guidelines

for luminaire selection applicable to a variety of projects across

many markets. Sustainable lighting goes beyond achieving

target energy efficiency and Green Star credits and should

extend not only to the luminaire selection process but the entire

lighting design process. The CIP2 case study demonstrates that

luminaire selection can be a critical component of the building

design and that sustainable innovations beyond existing

guidelines are possible. L


In mid April 2012, Warren Julian staged

a fourth technical and cultural tour to

China. Students and staff from University

of Sydney, UTS, QUT and others interested

in the unique skew of this tour, headed off

into an amazing landscape where over 6,000

LED manufacturers now ply their trade. The

cultural and technical tour included Shanghai,

Wuzhen, Hangzhou and Suzhou. Apart from

the enormous and fascinating lamp factories,

the universities and measurement laboratories

we visited, there was a consensus that street

food in Hangzhou was perhaps one of the

most delicious and impromptu highlights of the 10 days of travel.

Another “first” in Hangzhou was to learn that the Everfine measurement

laboratory we had visited had just been listed on the Chinese Stock

Exchange. More of stock exchanges a little later. The second and

optional leg of the tour involved the two-day, Green Light Shanghai

Expo. The venue for the trade fair and conference was the vast site of

the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai.

Following is a brief, personal synopsis of the major themes that

were developed at that expo conference.

The opening address was given by Jun Ruan, Deputy General

Secretary, China Solid State Lighting Alliance. He outlined that the

government of China, as part of its 12th 5-year plan, has targeted a

direct and intense promotion of the solid state lighting (SSL) industry

in an effort to reduce the country’s reliance on fossil fuels. China,

he reported, anticipates phasing out incandescent road lighting by

2016. Coupled with this goal, China is projecting a 30% growth in

SSL industries.

The call to get behind the SSL industry was backed up by figures

displaying the projected domination of SSL lighting. It was akin to a

call to arms: 150lm/W by 2015. 180 million lamps were produced in

2011 and 17 specialised lighting companies are already listed on the

stock exchange (seemingly the holy grail of Chinese entrepreneurs)

with another 10 now waiting for their IPO. In that call to arms he briefly

acknowledged that there are some problems that the SSL industry

has yet to address; primarily the lack of standardisation and technical

specifications. What his talk seemed to be really all about was business

and hammering home the fact that SSL is an industry of rapid growth.

The targets and figures he produced were giddyingly high.

For me the first afternoon session was the highlight of the Expo.

It began with a session called “Intelligent lighting for a dreaming

and sustainable city”. The presenter was Yongquin Zeng from Phillips

Research Asia. His session focused on the increased urbanisation of

the developing world. An estimated 6.5 billion people will live, he said,

in newly built urban areas by 2050 and that statistic will represent

over 70% of the world’s population. He suggested that increased

urbanisation creates a dynamic interplay of needs. Infrastructure

projects will require heavy investment, and the increasing demands for

street and city lighting, for safety and amenity, will continue to provide

exponentially large markets for producers of advanced SSL products.

He reported that the main driver of this growth would be energy use,

its management and how people are billed for that energy use.

China has recently added 14 million road lighting luminaires to the

existing system and predicts growth in road lighting of about 10% per

annum plus an energy increase of around 8% per annum. To emphasise

the point he added that Yangzhou province alone had added 6 million

road lighting luminaires in a period of 5 years.

Green Light ShanghaiF E A T U R E

In the lead up to the Olympic Games in 2008, Beijing undertook a

survey of cities to review how to best plan city infrastructure services.

The findings revealed that an energy efficient city needs an aggregation

of services and that all its homes, buildings and public spaces need to

be inter-connected. Many high profile infrastructure companies had

pitched to this review committee. Road and public lighting, it was

revealed, was a major platform in the delivery of intelligent services.

Sustainability is the driving force behind market growth. LEDs can

dominate because of their capability for interactivity. Interactivity is a

thing that traditional exterior lighting – fluorescent, metal halide and

sodium vapour – cannot match. LEDs respond instantly, on or off, up,

down or sideways, without loss of colour temperature. To make this

interactivity a reality, an aggregation of services in which machines

must be able to communicate, needs to exist.

This brings me to the plenary session on day two, 26th April 2012,

which was delivered by Bob Heile, Zig Bee Alliance Chairman and CEO.

He asserted that most data currently placed on the internet is put their

by people but that within 5 years that amount of data will be dwarfed

by what will be inputted by machines. He went on to say that if all the

machinery of daily life were to be equipped with radio tags, they could

be identified and inventoried by computers. This is where the Zig Bee

alliance fits in. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is often seen as

a prerequisite for “The Internet of Things”.

Zig Bee is an open standard that companies who create products

can use to embed this technology in whatever devices they build.

Theoretically, a ‘phone manufacturer can embed the Zig Bee command

centre that will then talk to approved ZigBee devices that surround

you – wirelessly (Figure 2).

So, as a result, you can use your ‘phone or any other remote device

to turn the heater on before you get home or switch the entry light

on. To take the analogy a little further, all the street and traffic lights

you encounter on your drive home can be monitored for efficient

functioning and help make the traffic flow as efficient as possible.

Your new car will report its performance to the carmaker and your

mechanic will be able to access that report in a timely manner. Road

builders and planners will use real time information to make a far more

accurate analysis of the way traffic flows. Forget about seeing students

sitting on the corner, counter and clipboard in hand, to record traffic

flow for the RTA. And if you don’t think this technology

is already being used, think again. The Aria Resort Hotel in Los Angeles

has 35 thousand transmitters embedded into the building. (See:

www.popularmechanics.com/technology/engineering/architecture/

aria-high-tech-hotel, for information on this hotel’s automation.)

Already in Australia, Victoria is using Zig Bee Alliance devices in all

electrical meters for new homes. Traditionally, someone comes around

quarterly to read your meter: now the new meters connect wirelessly

to the Internet and feed information about each home’s usage every

half an hour. Suppliers can see, in real time, peak power demands and

outages. This makes for more informed infrastructure decisions and

realistically, they are now able to bill usage according to time of day.

Of course Phillips Lighting leads the pack in developing this system.

They have lit a 30-kilometre stretch of freeway in the Netherlands

with LED’s that can be controlled wirelessly and claim to have

thereby achieved a 50% reduction in power usage (Figure 3).

(See also: www.lighting.philips.com/main/projects/a7_highway.wpd)

This all sounds inspiring but there are still a few issues to be dealt

with, mainly interoperability and standardisation. That is to say “the

ability of software and hardware on different machines from different

vendors to share data.” It is pointless to manufacture any appliance

unless they have in-common computer connectivity. This is the main

selling point for ZigBee. The other issue, of course, is capital P privacy.

If you thought CCTV was Big Brother, then this system will possess

you from your DNA upwards, metaphorically speaking.

Attending Green Light Shanghai for me was an enlightening

experience. To come to grips with the degree of time and energy

that is being focused on preparing the lighting industry for a minimum

energy future was absorbing and instructive. Expos like this one

present an overwhelming mass of new ideas and processes that

capture your imagination and vie for your attention in a very short

space of time. But if you remember that the first equation in lighting

design is “lighting = art + science”, then you should understand that

all qualitative decisions are ephemeral and apt to change according

to the science of the day (figure 4).

I’ll make a brief return to stock exchanges: close to the Tongji

Guesthouse where we stayed in Shanghai, on an unremarkable corner

in a shopping precinct, each day we walked past what appeared, at

first glance, to be some king of bingo hall with all heads turned in

one direction and intense concentration on whatever the “action” was.

It was in fact the local stock exchange, busier than any TAB and

obviously a normal element of everyday, person-in the-street interest –

a great clue to part of psyche of Chinese society. L

As part of the IESANZ International Lighting Design awards

on Friday 1st June 2012, David Orwin, NSW Chapter Chair,

presented Life Fellowship awards to Paul Plumber (33 years of

service), Peter McLean (40 yrs), Tim Shotbolt (26 yrs) and Gordon

Watson (26 yrs) in recognition of their service to the IES and

their contributions to the art and science of lighting.

Obituary: Jonathan Speirs, lighting designer

One of Scotland’s most internationally acclaimed architects and

co-founder of the renowned architectural lighting practice, Speirs

+ Major, Jonathan Speirs, has died from cancer at the age of 54.

Over the last quarter of a century, Jonathan Speirs has substantially

changed the world of architectural lighting and the appearance

and perception, not only of numerous major buildings and

structures but of many international towns and cities.

Born in Ardrishaig, Scotland in 1958, he studied architecture at

the Scott Sutherland School in Aberdeen and then at Edinburgh

College of Art. In 1984, along with Andre Tammes, Jonathan

co-founded Lighting Design Partnership (LDP) in Edinburgh. LDP

grew rapidly to pre-eminence with work on more than 450 projects

in 19 countries. Throughout the 1980s and the early 90s the

practice worked on major projects throughout Europe and beyond.

In 1992 Jonathan left LDP to set up Jonathan Speirs Associates

in Edinburgh. Relatively soon afterwards, his working association

with Mark Major led to the evolution of the company into

Speirs + Major Associates. They were later joined by a third

director, Keith Bradshaw.

In 2010, Jonathan Speirs was awarded the RIAS’ Lifetime

Achievement Award, and took great pleasure in the award of an

honorary doctorate from Heriot-Watt University. Jonathan received the

Professional Lighting Designers’ Association’s Lifetime Achievement

Award in 2011. As recently as March this year, Speirs + Major was

named Lighting Magazine’s “Design Practice of the Decade”.

Jonathan Speirs was invariably quietly spoken, humorous and

considerate. He was also a Scottish architect of international repute

whose work, quite literally, brought light to the world.

NSW July MeetingThe July meeting of the NSW Chapter of the IES was delivered by

Owen Manly – Technical Manager, Lighting Council of Australia. A

presentation that was to centre on Standards was delivered as a

comprehensive coverage on change. This included a recent history

and notes on the near future aspirations for: the government phase-

Vivid Sydney expressions of interestVivid Sydney 2013 is seeking expressions of interest – opening

from September 2012 for two months – from lighting designers,

engineering and design individuals and teams for all the festival

light sculptures, installations and projections. Details are on the

LIFE FELLOW AWARDS

website (www.vividsydney.com) for the submissions, which will

close in November.

Already in its fourth successful year, the NSW Government will

grow the event in 2013, providing more lighting opportunities and

seeking to raise the creativity bar with more innovative designs.

The festival provides a global audience for the international design

and creative community. In 2012 Vivid Sydney, the 18-day festival of

light, music and ideas, delivered new record crowd numbers in excess

of 500,000 visitors and global media coverage in over 150 countries.

Light India 2012 has strong support from global lighting brandsThe 2012 edition of Light India, co-organised by Messe Frankfurt

and the Electric Lamps & Components Manufacturers’ Association of

India (ELCOMA), has received strong interest from the international

community. The debut fair, which will be held from 5 – 8 October

2012 at Pragati Madian in New Delhi, India, is expecting 20,000

visitors and an exhibition space totalling 16,000 m2.

The 2012 show has, so far, confirmed 120 exhibitors from China,

India, Japan, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the UAE and the US.

Big-brand exhibitors currently include Philips, Osram, Bajaj, Surya

Roshni, Crompton, Anchor by Panasonic, BAG Electronics, Wipro

and Energetic Lighting. The majority of exhibitors intend to focus

on energy efficient lighting and LED technology.

With the support of international associations such as the

Global Lighting Association, Asia Lighting Compact, United

Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Department

of Heritage and Environment, Light India will host two days of

technical seminars and concurrent events, focusing on emerging

technologies and their application. Some of the world’s leading

experts and business leaders will deliver papers on the industries

latest developments. Recommendations made by experts during

the seminar will then form White Papers which will be submitted to

the government for decision making and future policy guidelines. In

order to encourage the growth of LED lighting design among

students and architects, Light India will host the LED Lighting Best

Design Awards with the support of the Indian Institute of Design

and Council of Architecture. A gala dinner will also be organised

with special performances that present innovative uses of lighting.

Coinciding with Light India, the week from 4 – 8 October 2012

has been deemed the National Energy Efficient Week in India,

and will be supported by the Ministry of Power, Central Public

Works Department, Ministry of New & Non Renewable Energy,

Government of New Delhi and the Bureau of Indian Standards.

The Australian Government is supporting the initiative.

LED street lights could cut energy use by 85% LED street lighting can generate energy savings as high as 85%,

an independent global trial organised by The Climate Group has

found. The associated report also indicates that citizens of pilot

cities prefer LED lighting, citing social and environmental benefits.

The findings of LightSavers, an independent two-and-a-half-year

global pilot of LED lamps in 15 trials across 12 cities including New

York, London and Kolkata, are presented for the first time in a report

entitled Lighting the Clean Revolution: The Rise of LED Street Lighting

and What it Means for Cities.

The report explores the global market status and potential

for LEDs and provides guidelines for policymakers and city

light managers who want to scale-up large LED retrofits. It

was launched as part of the Clean Revolution campaign at

the Rio+20 UN Global Compact Corporate Sustainability

Forum and produced by The Climate Group in partnership

with Philips.

Bright nights: LED street lighting can generate energy savings as high as 85%.


S O C I E T I E S A N D N E W S

Key findings include:

z Surveys in Kolkata, London, Sydney and Toronto indicated

that between 68% to 90% of respondents endorsed LEDs’

city-wide rollout. Benefits highlighted included improved

safety and visibility.

z LED lighting trialled lifespan ranges from 50,000 to 100,000

hours indicating a high return on investment.

z LED failure rate over 6,000 hours is around 1%.

Lighting is responsible for 19% of global electricity use.

Therefore, doubling lighting efficiency globally would have

the equivalent of eliminating the equivalent of half of the EU’s

electricity and heat production emissions.

Service station LED retrofits An example of the growth in implementation of LED-based public

lighting is given by service station projects in North America

and Europe. Shell and BP are retrofitting theirs with LED-canopy

luminaires. Shell has so far retrofitted about 300 stations in Canada,

and BP has retrofitted 80 stations in Austria, the Netherlands and

Switzerland. The oil companies say that customers expect high

quality white light at service stations so they can safely operate the

pumps when buying fuel. In these projects, LED lamps replaced

metal halide lamps, offering equivalent or better “full spectrum” light

compared with MH lamps while cutting energy use by 50% or more

The full report is available at www.TheCleanRevolution.org

Philips Luxeon Z: Smallest power LED with highest lumen densityAt a size that is 80% smaller than traditional power LED, the new

Luxeon Z offering from Philips Lumileds is the company’s smallest

LED package to date. With

a footprint of just 2.2 mm2

and high lumen output from

440-670 nm, the Luxeon Z

offers luminaire designers the

industry’s highest commercially

available lumen density. In

addition, the ultra-compact, non-

encapsulated package of the

Luxeon Z gives designers flexibility

in packaging and optical designs.

The Luxeon Z goes beyond

the constraints of a typical 2x2

multi-chip package to 2x2, 3x2

or 6x1 monocolour or multicolour

luminaires. Configurations are

virtually limitless, with the ability to

mount as many as 250 of the high-

lumen Luxeon Z in one square-inch. The company expects that a full

line of semi-custom optics will also be available in the near future.

Cree claims new LED benchmarkLED developer Cree has unveiled its

XLamp XT-E white LED, which

more than doubles the

lumens per watt of the

existing XLamp XP-E

LED family, providing

up to 148 lm/W in cool

white or up to 114 lm/W in

warm white, both at 350 mA and

85°C. At 25°C it can deliver up to 162

lm/W. The company has stated that

the XT-E features the highest performance and efficacy in

the industry. The XT-E and the recently released XT-B lamp, are

based on a new version of Cree’s established silicon carbide

technology platform.

American National Standard for Electric Lamps – Specifications for the chromaticity of solid state lighting (SSL) productsANSI_ANSLG C78.377-201

Published in May 2012, the Standard specifies the range of

chromaticities recommended for general lighting with SSL

products and ensures that the white light chromaticities of the

products can be communicated to consumers. It applies to

LED-based SSL products with control electronics and heat sinks

incorporated. L
