His earlier forays into lighting were locating lights down mine shafts and on Petro Chemical installations. Offices and buildings came next, which he thought were relatively easy. He worked on Centre Point Tower with Don Cook from Quigen & Cook, and also did crazy cold cathode ceiling design for the cosmopolitan shopping centre of Double Bay about 35 years ago. About the same time, he asked Dick Chappell to make him special chandeliers/pendants for Shell Harbour Workers Club. He works mainly for Lend Lease’s Retail and Commercial business units, for projects throughout Australia; picking up the occasional project in Asia. He has a great support team at Lend Lease – Jeff, Angela, Greg & Alex – without them, he says, his life would be a lot harder.

These might waste a day but the advantage is that a mid-morning flight from Sydney gets its destination in the early evening, depending upon the time zone and daylight saving. Even with a three hour time difference, you can have a normal night’s activity and go to bed to suit your body clock. (It is often difficult to get the daytime return flights, although some carriers have them.) On a recent flight to Hong Kong on Qantas, once the meal service was over I was told to close the window shade. I declined, saying that I had no desire to sleep at noon and that it was better for the body clock to have daylight for melatonin suppression, so that I could sleep normally after arrival rather than being alert from seven hours’ sleep in the middle of the day. I was told it was Qantas’ policy to close the shades [for daytime flights] and that I was being unreasonable. I was later visited by the ironically tilted “customer services manager” (CSM) who employed a deft combination of selective deafness, condescension and passive aggression to get his way. I had suggested giving eyeshades to those who genuinely wanted to sleep at noon and that if it were Qantas’ policy to fly dark planes, it should buy windowless freighters to obviate this kind of trouble. They might also be cheaper to buy and maintain. I must have been recorded as a loony or trouble maker because on subsequent flights I received undue, sycophantic treatment from CSMs who acted as though they knew me. I was surprised to receive a phone call from a manager in Sydney who (also surprisingly) seemed genuinely interested in the goings on. She called back a couple of times, after investigation, and said that it isn’t Qantas’ policy to close the shades on daytime flights. So, what it was about was quieting the passengers (oops, “customers”), perhaps to reduce alcohol consumption but probably to reduce crew work. The flight was unpleasant because I was made to feel selfish and 10 LIGHTING MAGAZINE | December 2013/January 2014 unreasonable although I was aware of the ploy by the crew. I would have expected the crew to be only too aware of the problems of jet lag (in this case induced jet lag) but maybe they wanted to catch up on sleep from a previous trip or just didn’t want to work. One of the trips was to Beijing where I had the pleasure of officiating at the International Solid State Lighting Alliance’s outstanding achievement awards where awards were presented to the inventors of the LED (red, blue green and amber) and of OLEDs. It was an honour to be able to meet these outstanding scientists. This issue is also replete with awards for outstanding achievement – in this case for lighting design and luminaire design in Australia and New Zealand. I would like to congratulate the winners and also all the entrants for allowing their work to be scrutinised by judging panels. As I mentioned in last year’s December editorial, the lighting industry is in turmoil as it tries to cope with the change to solid state lighting. This year, there is a glimmer of some stability, in terms of realistic expectations of LED performance. At least in the professional end of the market, many of the outrageous performance claims have been dropped and there have been real efforts made to reduce glare (at the cost of efficacy). However, there is still a long way to go. I hope you enjoy this issue and that 2014 brings more stability and certainty to our industry. Lighting is part of the industry and it has to cope with not only the changes in manufacturing and importing but also the changes sweeping the specialist publishing industry. Lighting has managed to continue in 2013 due to the support shown by advertisers, those who write for it and Rala’s efforts in production, marketing and distribution. Maybe, in 2014, we will be out of the twilight zone. – Warren Julian 2013-2015 president’s message Feature Christmas lights and lighting “design” software From the perspective of President of the Society it is particularly gratifying to see light being used so graphically in celebration at this time of year. I refer to the many homes all over Australia and New Zealand that are richly decorated with lights celebrating the festive season. The people that do this come from all sectors of society, including members of the lighting industry. Kerry Simpson FIES is a serial offender here in Queensland and I am sure there are many similar examples in other states. None of this done for personal gain but often on behalf of charities or perhaps the sheer, testosterone fuelled joy of having a bigger and better display than your neighbour. Not a motivation as noble as charity perhaps, but effective none the less in transforming suburbia into a place of wonder for the young and an oasis of well-earned peace for their parents. Nor would it be right to overlook the efforts of local authorities in elevating numerous streetscapes and facilities from the mundane and functional into something more captivating and festive. Regardless of one’s personal beliefs you have to recognise and appreciate these efforts. To these people a very big thank you. So why do we do this each year? My favourite Christmas story is that of the British and German troops during WW1. During a lull in fighting on Christmas day, they came together in no-mansland, had a football match, sang carols and exchanged meagre gifts. A clearer affirmation of humanity is difficult to imagine, and cause for celebration in itself. I have no way of appreciating why this came about, but I would speculate that their circumstances were so dire, and their prospects so grim, that thoughts of family and home overcame blind observance of duty. Perhaps for them Christmas belonged to people and 12 LIGHTING MAGAZINE | December 2013/January 2014 national interest can wait for just one day. For them enough was enough. No genuine parallel can, nor should be, drawn between the experiences of WW1 troops and those in the lighting industry, other than do we choose to accept the unacceptable. For example, lighting nonsense masquerading as lighting design, particularly when ‘legitimised’ through the use of software. Explanations for this are many, but let us say that ignorance plays a big role. Regrettably, ignorance exists in both providers and assessors of lighting schemes, and whilst uncommon still occurs with an irritating frequency that cannot be considered an irrelevance. On the off chance that this message reaches anyone harbouring any lingering doubts I offer two small pieces of advice: 1. The ability to use software does not make one a lighting designer, nor is it demonstration of design competency. Good design is the best demonstration of competency and experience its best evidence. Software is a tool, used to better articulate concepts, nothing more. Like any other tool, software is only as good as those that use it. 2.If unsure then seek advice. Ignorance may not be a crime, but, in any field, nor should it be an acceptable situation. When it comes to lighting of all forms, our Society has members that know how to do it, and do it well. Our skillsets extend beyond design to critical examination of lighting schemes, not just for the information the scheme should contain but also how that was achieved. The Society will continue to promote good lighting practice and the skills of its members wherever and whenever it can but we need your help to underpin this message and not accept the unacceptable. All that remains is to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

They were about to replace the water hydraulic system and they had had problems with the current underwater lighting system. The current fittings were a maintenance nuisance with leaves and rubbish in the water area and they asked whether they could have a top mounted lighting scheme. It was decided that an appropriate continuous LED lighting scheme with its own minimalistic structure would be suitable. On site tests showed that a 3000K LED lamp would provide the best colour solution to suit the water jets and the wall of the fountain. The evening test also showed the most suitable spacing off the wall to provide even illumination with useful end scalloping to light the full water feature. The beam spread was adequate and any stray light would be contained by the mounting structure. The structure was minimalistic in its View along the length of the fountain dimensions and in a continuous straight line. The colour of the structure blended with its surroundings.

Designer Q&A Feature The most surprising moment in the project was when the Client decided to expand the concept from lighting a few bays of the building façade to lighting the whole thing. I never thought they would back the concept to this extent. And working with Bruce Ramus, who created the animation of the façade, really made the outcome really dynamic. 2. In your 30 years as a Lighting Designer, what has been the most technological innovation for the industry? In 30 years of lighting design, apart from the standard lamp sources such as halogen, metal halide, sodium, cold cathode and incandescent; it was the “form” of the fittings that made the difference – be that a decorative or theatrical approach – lamp sources needed to be dressed up when in the public eye; light fittings became part of the embellishment. In the last few years with sustainable restraints and the LED juggernaut, lighting design has been more challenging. 3.

A: I have several projects I am proud of, ones that come to mind are: a)A pro bono project that I did for St Canice Church Kings Cross – not knowing my way around a church didn’t help, but after testing and trials, we came up with a great solution. b)The Neo Pharaoh Disco was another personal 1.

Six major awards were given on the night – five Lighting Design Awards, and a single Luminaire Design Award. A series of student awards were also presented. Of all the winners, perhaps the most lauded was the Translational Research Institute, which has swept awards categories across the architecture, engineering and lighting sectors since its completion earlier this year. The lighting design, developed by Aurecon, Wilson Architects and Donovan Hill, was based on a ‘hierarchy’ of architectural themes, including a theme of circular luminance expressed through the installation of over 900 circular pendant lights. Other big winners on the night were the Klik Systems team, who took out the sole Luminaire Design Award for their TRI T5 Cylindrical Pendant light; and the main auditorium of the heritagelisted Brisbane City Hall, which was honoured with a Lighting Design Award of Commendation.

With awards ceremonies in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, inside the 2013 IESANZ Lighting Design Awards Queensland Chapter C elebration reigned supreme at the 2013 IESANZ Lighting Design and Luminaire Design Victorian Chapter T he 2013 Victorian IESANZ Awards dinner at the Plaza Ballroom on Melbourne’s Collins Street was a magical affair, in more ways than one. More than 240 of the Victorian lighting industry’s finest – and one magician – filled the venue, setting the scene for a stunning event that showcased Victoria’s prowess as a creative hub for contemporary lighting design. The Victorian Chapter has been particularly progressive with identifying new awards categories that accurately reflect the achievements of chapter members. In addition to the Lighting Design Awards the Luminaire Design Awards and the student awards presented by many other IESANZ Chapters, the Victorian awards committee launched the Victorian Lighting Industry Technical Representative Award (VLiTRA) in 2011 and the Albert Dresler Daylighting Award in 2012.

Aaron Binion of Lightmoves was honoured with this year’s VLiTRA for a luminaire presentation in which he shared his in-depth knowledge of its technical and aesthetic capabilities with the panel of judges. “VLiTRA is a recognition that the majority of the IESANZ members are salespeople, and that we’d like to see excellence within the industry. We hope that other chapters and other states will take it up,” says Chapter President Dave Anderson. The Albert Dresler Daylighting Award acknowledges the importance of effective daylighting in contemporary lighting design. A joint Grimshaw/Arup project at Melbourne’s Highpoint Shopping Centre took out the 2013 prize, with the judges noting the designers’ exceptional use of daylight modelling, geometry and EFTE materials, as well as translucent glass skylights and operable louvres that add points of interest to the daylight experience.

This is a view of the registration area. It was constantly crowded with buyers from around the world coming and going over the four days. Figure 2. A “favourite product” – the Tabu Lumen Bluetooth Smart Bulb Plu. I visited the 15th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Autumn Edition) in late October as a guest of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC). I last visited about ten years ago and in that time it has grown into the world’s second-largest, after Light+Build in Frankfurt. The fair is held twice per year although the autumn edition is by far the largest. The four-day fair had a record 2,360 exhibitors from 38 countries and regions participating, with new exhibitors from Denmark, Israel, Turkey and the UAE taking part. Fair highlights included the Hall of Aurora which featured more than 470 lighting brands from some 340 exhibitors, including: Fulham, Fumagalli, Neo-Neon, Panasonic, Philips, Seoul Semiconductor and Vossloh-Schwabe. Other featured zones included: LED & Green Lighting, with about 820 exhibitors on hand; Advertising Lighting, presenting display panels, light boxes and neon signs; Smart Lighting & Solutions, offering lighting design service and software, along with lighting management systems and control panels; and the Small-Order Zone, with nearly 140 exhibitors displaying some 1,500 products. Thousands attended each day mainly buyers but I also saw a few designers checking product trends (Figure 1). It is a good idea to visit over a number of days or half days to overcome fair fatigue. It is easy to go outside and to take in the view of Hong Kong Harbour away from the bustle indoors. Even in the bright sunshine, the harbour seems glare-free compared with the brightness of thousands of retrofit LED “bulbs”. In fact, finding non-LED products requires a concerted effort but they still exist and I think that I eventually saw the complete range of current light sources. My Favourite Lighting Products Award 2013 was introduced this year, showcasing innovative lighting offerings, chosen by fair buyers. As an example, December 2013/January 2014 | LIGHTING MAGAZINE 61 Reliable, Australian Made Magnetic Ballasts and Transformers since 1976 one of the three winners in the Decorative Household Lighting category was the Tabu Lumen Bluetooth Smart Bulb Plus (AVC Technology (International) Limited) that “combines the practical utility of a standard white bulb and the fun of multi-colored light. Everything can be controlled easily from a proprietary application on our mobile smart phone”, as can be seen in Figure 2. There were timely seminars each day. Topics included Lighting Market Across the Globe, LED Lighting Regulations and Standards, E-tailing Strategy for Lighting Products and the Hong Kong Quality LED seminar. A Buyer Forum, Business Opportunity in Global Markets, was held with buyers from Chile, the Middle East and Russia participating. One of the most popular panel discussions, 10 things they don’t tell you about LEDs, started off with presentations (of thinly disguised advertising) from senior staff from three manufacturers but soon became electric when the moderator, Ray Molony, Editor of Lux Review, asked Philip’s Solid State R&D Director why he believed it was exciting that LEDs mean that strawberries ripen faster when what the world wants to know is how LEDs actually perform and how to solve the huge glare problems. Then the discussion became realistic rather than aspirational. I can’t report it in detail here but the gist was that some thought that the present stage of development is OK (near enough is close enough) while others thought that the evolution will result in products with system efficacies, CRIs and lives similar to T5 tubular fluorescent products! The panel discussion was great, once control passed to the audience and a provocative moderator.
