‘light in water” éléphant paname

Parisian DGT architects’ ‘light in water’ exhibit is a cascading water fall and light show that provides an emotional and immersive experience to viewers. Presented in the oldest concrete dome in Paris, as part of an exhibition by éléphant paname art and dance center, the exhibit comprises of sixteen rings of slotted tubes which run along the ceiling, filled with holes that in- dividually leak 60 drops of water per second. A LED ‘lighting-time control’ programmed to reach the shortest interval possible–seven microseconds helps achieve a visualization and materializa- tion of a single point of light in water, equal to the time it takes a water droplet to fall, providing for a stunning display.

“Dolly” Vivid Light Walk, Sydney

LED WORLD AUG-SEP ‘15 The large LED-lit dolly crocheted by artist Tina Fox offered quite a quirky sight at Campbell’s Cove at Circular Quay as part of the Vivid festival. The 3 meter tall sculpture is crocheted from 4mm cotton rope with an extra large hook and is internally illuminated with meters of IP65 LED strip lights that cast a soft light through the woven structure. It also encourages visitors to get selfies with it. The thought of the artist behind the display is that a giant child has abandoned her dolly at Campbell’s Cove. 7 LED Applications, The World Over

The Wings Expo 2015, Milan

Polish-American artist Daniel Libskind created astonishing sculptural masterpieces at Expo 2015 Milan which also included “The Wings”, a quartet of metallic sculptures designed to form a physical manifestation of the Expo’s themes and the symbiosis of manmade and natural elements. Each sculpture is composed of three sinuous, intertwined blades that spiral up and outward like the branches of a tree. The 32-foot-high steel beacons are equipped with 10,000 LED lights, they will form shimmering installations by night, evoking “the spectacular acrobatic masses of starlings taking to flight.” They are also fitted with speakers that will emit an abstract mixture of sounds from both rural and urban environments, acting as “the bridge between nature and technology.”

The jets of mist are expelled from a series of identical cylinders mounted on the ceiling. These “nebulisers” are controlled by a series of ultrasonic sensors embedded in the suspended frame- work, which detect passing pedestrians by interpreting the echoes from large-frequency sound waves. This data is fed to a central manage method that triggers the hydro-valves and LEDs in proximity to the detected target. Created by Carlo Ratti Associati, the installation was unveiled at the Museum of Potential Government Solutions in the course of the UAE Government Summit in Dubai. 8 LED APPLICATIONS

“Luminous Veil” Toronto’s Prince Edward Viaduct

The safety barrier on Toronto’s Prince Edward Viaduct was transformed into a luminous veil as 35,000 LED lights lit up both sides of the Bloor Viaduct as part of city-wide beautification projects for the Pan Am Games. The veil will be illuminated 365 days a year and will change with the seasons. The pricey lighting project is estimated to have cost $2.8 million. However, ac- cording to Mayor John Tory, it will be one of those things that will survive the games as lasting legacies for the city which also includes a new neighborhood and a train to the airport.

The 27-story Tower, which overlooks West London’s ‘Golden Mile’, is the prominent center- piece of Barratt London’s flagship regeneration project – Great West Quarter (GWQ) in Brent- ford, Middlesex. One of the tallest interactive sculptures in Europe, the spine lighting solution for The Tower provided by LTP comprised 53 horizontal runs of six point sources of light, set at 1000 mm intervals up the north facing side of the building. LTP designed and manufactured a bespoke cable containment system that was used to support the LED architectural lighting, consisting of 396 RGB IP67 rated, individually addressable LED spotlights (Traxon/Osram’s LED Dot6 String) powered by 13 LED drivers. The architectural LED lighting is set to operate fully automatically 365 days of the year. 9 LED WORLD AUG-SEP ‘15 10 APPLICATION

LED Stage Lights Advantages 1. LED instruments can contain a number of different colored LEDs, often Red, Green and , and different light output colors can be achieved by adjusting the intensity of each LED color group. 2. LED instruments have a long service life relative to other options, without the expense of color gel or replacement lamps. 3. They are more visible than conventional lighting under daylight.

LED cabin lights are claimed to last roughly You curse the flight attendant for switching 10 to 20 times longer than traditional lights. off the lights. However, it’s not his fault as Boeing claims its 787 cabin lights are good cabin lights generally have just two settings: for 50,000 hours. The airline designers feel on and off. But you may not face this any that the two new long-haul planes offer more as Mood Lifting Ambient Lighting them an unprecedented cabin palette. in Aircrafts are here, courtesy LED lighting technologies.

For instance, to dusk. Now, longer flights wouldn’t be pinkish-purple glow for that soothing effect, that taxing. New Light-emitting diode the ‘ warmth’ especially programmed technologies have enabled mood-lighting for dinner service and other special hues capabilities. The new LED mood enhancing that enable passengers to locate restrooms lights lend variety and ambiance to the when the cabin is dark at night. already comfortable cabin in new Boeing and Airbus models. These LED technologies “We’ve always wanted to create a different 25 LED WORLD AUG-SEP ‘15 26 kind of atmosphere aboard our aircraft and light plays exactly into our hands,” reportedly says Nik Lusardi, design manager at Virgin Atlantic Airways, one of the pioneers of using mood lighting during flight. “You can get people energized or you can relax people very, very quickly,” Lusardi reportedly said.

Ambient lighting A better way, lighting designers say is to have cabin light that mounts gradually, giving the ambience the sunrise effect from being faint pink to turning to offer warm glow of sunlight. Designers feel that the ambient lighting will prevent people from having a jet lag. An insider claimed that the Finnair A350 cabin has two dozen light settings, aligned with stages of a long-haul flight. It also features warmer, amber colors on flights arriving in Asia and cooler ‘Nordic blue’ hues when flying into Finland. A roughly 20 minute sunset effect has been designed for the nights during a flight. Then there is the specialty of the Northern Lights. Virgin Atlantic has different primary color periods on its 787 flights. A waking color, rose-champagne for boarding, a silvery glow for overnight sleep, purple-pink for drinks, another for the pre-sleep period called ‘work-rest-play’ and ‘amber’ for dining. It’s interesting to note that they have banned greens and . They believe that these colors are not Virgin Atlantic colors, nor do they make food and drink look particularly appealing. American Airlines, which began experimenting with LED light options in 2011, ahead of the delivery of the company’s first Boeing 777-300ER jumbo jets, has also banished green lighting from the cabin. Like Virgin Atlantic, American uses amber during the dinner service. For sleep periods, it uses a deep blue color, which designers chose after considering and rejecting a reddish glow. Red is sometimes associated with fire which is not a good thing on an airplane.

How does it work? Generally cabin lighting is provided by fluorescent tubes that make use of electronic ballasts to regulate each individual light. It implies that the light can be dimmed continuously from full to partial output. The latest lighting solutions include LED’s together with the fluorescent tubes to create lights that can be dimmed all the way from 100% to 0% output. New fluorescent fixtures with two tubes instead of one standard tube enable color changes of the lights to change

Indian startup launches Indiegogo campaign to fund 3D LED lights An India startup company headed by Rohan Desle has launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund opti- cal illusion LED bulbs. The warm white LED bulbs have a lifetime of 50,000 hours and there are seven models that backers can choose from including Eiffel tower, deer, hexsphere, spiral, globe, pyramid and snake. LED WORLD AUG-SEP ‘15 The concept of the luminaires is not new. Two-dimensional optical illusional LED bulb designs first emerged on the market in April 2014. At the time Studio Checha, an Israeli startup captured worldwide headlines with Bulbing, a flat acrylic LED luminaire that appeared three dimensional to the naked human eye. Less than a year later, Chinese company CNHIDEEl aunched an upgraded me too product. Their ver- sion of the 3D optical bulb was touch controllable, and included additional USB charger features. The perks of Luminosquare bulb compared to other similar bulbs out there is probably its lower price of US $40 for early backers, compared to the about US $47 offer Bulbing gave to first batch of backers. Backers of Luminosquare Indiegogo campaign are expected to receive the bulbs before Christmas, and for early backers hopefully by October 2015 earliest. The project has raised US $2,334 within a week. LUMINOsquare aims to raise in total US $10,000 in the next 33 days. NEWS 59 Newswire International For these stories and more, see www.ledworldmag.com

Art museums turning to LEDs to preserve masterpieces

Museums around the world are swapping conventional lights in favor of LEDs to protect famous paintings from being damaged by light exposure. Light can cause pigments in paintings to darken over a period of time. Van Gogh’s famous painting Sunflowers for instance has darkened from light exposure, leading artists to switch to other yellow colors. Scientists have identified UV and blue lights, which are found in abundance in conventional fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs, can

LED WORLD AUG-SEP ‘15 cause significant damage to paintings. The downside of using LED lights, though, is its unnatural white glare. Museums still prefer warm white colors that resemble halogen bulbs. To fix this issue, engineers will add different combinations of phosphor with the LED to achieve the desired color temperature requested by museums. The resulting LED lighting resembles traditional halogen lamps that museums are accustomed with, and the difference is barely noticeable. But LED lights can still damage paintings. Lighting designers are designing lighting that accents the artwork rather than lighting up the entire room. This kind of design reduces light exposure for paintings, and causes less damage. The potential of LEDs goes far beyond that, though. Engineers could adjust the color temperature of LEDs to mimic sunlight without emitting harmful UV rays. However, museums remain fairly conservative at the moment, and prefer LEDs that function similarly to incandescent lights. 61 Auckland Rolls out massive LED Streetlight upgrade

Auckland Transport has begun New Zealand’s most ambitious LED replacement program. It is replacing 44,000 high pressure sodium (golden yellow light) street lights with energy efficient LED luminaires. Auckland Transport owns more than 100,000 street lights, approximately one third of the country’s total lighting stock. Auckland Transport chairman Lester Levy said. “The first phase of the program is being rolled out over five years which means nearly half of the regions street lights will change from golden yellow light to white light.” Last year, the Auckland Transport Board approved the plan: the rest of the conversion to LEDs will potentially follow in four to five years. Levy says “This project is expected to see net savings of NZ $32 million (US $21.18 million) over the 20 year design life of the LED luminaires.” LED technology which is cheaper over time, safer and more efficient is a smart choice for communities and for New Zealand. International experience has shown that white light is also a factor in crime prevention; delivers greater comfort and security and improves visibility and reaction times for drivers and pedestrians, resulting in fewer vehicle crashes and injuries. This hugely favors LED as a light source and already this year, according to new research, the market share of LED for street lighting worldwide exceeds 50%.
