Standard’s Photometric Data Now Available on Lighting Analyst’s Instabase

 

Standard’s photometric data files (IES files) have been updated and optimized and are now available on Instabase (the photometric search engine by Lighting Analyst). This is a cloud delivery mechanism containing luminaire photometric data from many of the lighting industry’s most prominent manufacturers available from within AGi32 and Photometric Toolbox dedicated cloud environment.

 

 

DLC Networked Lighting Controls

DLC Networked Lighting Controls Technical Requirements Version 2.0

 

New technical requirements for Interior and Exterior Networked Lighting Control (NLC) systems associated with commercial and industrial buildings, roadways, and exterior environments are here. NLC systems are defined for the purposes of these requirements as the combination of sensors, network interfaces, and controllers that effect lighting changes to luminaires, but does not include the luminaires themselves.

 

 

LRC Study

LRC Study Finds Robust Morning Light Improves Sleep and Mood, Lowers Stress in Office Workers

 

A new study from the Lighting Research Center (LRC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute found that office workers who receive a robust dose of circadian-effective light in the morning, from electric lighting or daylight, experience better sleep and lower levels of depression and stress, than those who spend their mornings in dim or low light levels.

IES Publishes Research Report on Roadway LED Luminaire Dirt Depreciation

 

LED luminaires present new challenges for those maintaining outdoor- and roadway-lighting systems. In other luminaire types, maintenance crews often clean the luminaires when they do a bulk or single relamp (Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia and New Zealand (2012)), so the lamp life drives the cleaning schedule.

Jacques-Cartier Bridge

Montreal’s Jacques-Cartier Bridge: Reflecting the Energy and Pulse of the City

An iconic structure in the Greater Montreal landscape, the Jacques-Cartier Bridge has been used by Canadians to cross the Saint Lawrence River for over 87 years. The five-lane steel bridge, spanning over 3,350 m (11,000 ft), is best known for the eight finials, or architectural ornaments, that sit atop its four main columns and resemble the Eiffel Tower. Already an unmistakable landmark, the bridge was lit for the first time in its history to help commemorate both the 375th anniversary of Montreal and 150th anniversary of Canada. The idea was to reflect the energy and pulse of the city in real time through the use of over 2,800 intelligent LED lights attached to the steel truss structure. 

 

Lightfair 2017

LIGHTFAIR International 2017 — Transforming the Future of Light and Technology

 This was this year’s theme at LIGHTFAIR International (LFI) in Philadelphia. We could add the future of design and art too. Without doubt, LED lighting is everywhere. It’s no longer the exception. The LED revolution we’ve been talking about is taking place in all areas of lighting and is opening up unexpected opportunities.
