Surge protection for LED mast lights

Information from DEHN Africa

Notes on providing lightning protection for LED mast lights with double or reinforced insulation; large masts fitted with supply distributors PVC masts and others. LED mast lights for street, walkway and open space lighting are mounted at light point heights of several metres to ensure large fields of illumination. This, however, is only possible if […]

History teams up with technology in new lighting installation

Information from Osram

An innovative digital lighting concept brings new splendor to the artistic treasure of the world’s largest basilica. The famous St Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican now shines in brilliant light following nearly 18 months of planning and the installation of a new LED lighting system. The entire lighting concept for the project was tailor-made by […]

Polymeric systems bring clarity to optical applications

by Venkat Nandivada Master Bond

Special optical adhesives enable the encapsulation of LEDs, termination of optical fibres and the assembly of complex lens systems. Optical grade epoxies, silicones and UV curable compounds offer engineers great versatility for bonding, sealing, coating and encapsulation applications. These systems adhere well to diverse substrates and offer excellent temperature resistance, stress relief and protection from […]

The importance of lower light levels, shade, shadows and darkness in lighting

by Philip Hammond, BHA Lighting and BHA School of Lighting

New lighting technologies are about to change the way we do lighting design, how we install lighting and how we will use it. Day is, of course, divided into daytime and night time or, put another way, light and dark. Daylight gives us energy and we can see to perform our tasks. Our bodies are […]

The workspace reinvented

Information from Signify

This article discusses ways in which connected lighting systems can support major trends in the transformation of offices. Several major trends are driving the transformation of the traditional office space: Globalisation: with organisations and employees frequently distributed across multiple geographical locations. Changing demographics: As generations Y and Z, as well as “generation next” employees enter […]

LED chip heat dissipation mapping

Information from Comtest

The LED chip is the core component of LED lighting. If the chip temperature is too high, the LED life and luminous quality could be severely affected. A heat sink is a common component in many electronic devices. It transfers the heat created by a device, acting to reduce the device’s temperature to prevent overheating. […]

On the art of aircraft interior lighting

by Jonathan Howard, DHA Designs

Lighting installations on Virgin Atlantic aircraft through the years, a brief history of aircraft lighting and what the future appears to hold for these applications. Aircraft interiors have changed immeasurably in the past century, from railway carriage-style interiors to the opulence of the 1920s; the bland 1970s and now “hyper-personalised” premium spaces. And so has […]

A practical application of human-centric lighting

Information from Signify

Human health and wellbeing are influenced directly by light intensity; intensity distribution; dynamic aspects; light colour and colour distribution. Light affects human beings in a variety of ways: visually, psychologically and (photo) biologically. Its most obvious effect on humans is enabling vision but the psychological effects of light are related to the attractiveness, atmosphere and […]

Impacts of LED lighting on power quality

by Remi Bolduc, Schneider Electric

LEDs use 75% less energy and offer a viable energy-efficiency opportunity but can have significant impacts on power quality as they are non-linear loads.  LED lighting technology is significantly more complex than “traditional” incandescent light bulbs. It comprises many different components, each of which may have an impact on power quality. The semiconductor diode used to […]

Fiber optic lighting for aircraft

by Giovanni P Tomasi, RSL Fiber Systems LLC

Laser based fiber optic illumination and its application on aircraft. Fiber optic remote source lighting (RSL) systems have been in use on military ships for over a decade to facilitate maintenance functions; eliminate electro-magnetic interference from lighting devices; reduce weight and to reduce radar signature. These systems, however, are relatively expensive and limit large-scale implementation […]
