Benefits of Smart Lighting

Currently we see the replacement of classical light sources like incandescent bulbs and gradually also fluorescent lamps by new solid state light sources like LED and OLED. The advantage of these new light sources is not just a much better energy efficiency, longer lifetimes and fast response times, but also a considerably smaller form factor. The space which is gained by the smaller form factor can be used to add additional sensors and electronics, which creates the basis for smart lighting. This starts with intelligent features that can be integrated in a simple LED bulb and goes all the way up to complex light management systems. With the rise of these smart lighting systems it was also more closely investigated which impact the light has on the human body. The result was that proper lighting can not just improve our general well-being but it can have a significant impact on our health and even reduce the risk of certain types of cancer. This presentation will briefly describe the benefits of smart lighting for our daily life.

LED Heat Transfer And Cooling Technology Options For Smart Control of the Light Output

LED lighting is one of the fastest growing market sectors across the globe. There are two primary areas that make LED’s attractive as the replacement for standard lighting that we have enjoyed for decades. These are: energy savings and easier control in managing the response of the light. The energy savings is certainly attractive and has become the strongest driver behind LED appeal. LEDs still generate a lot of heat and need to be cooled in order to provide consistent and reliable light output.

The combination of the generated heat and the control of the response time bring the issue of the cooling into the forefront of LED lighting. As stated above, ease of control of the light output makes LEDs an attractive proposition for many applications that range from cosmetic to industrial to home and street lighting applications. Since LEDs are semiconductor devices, their light output is directly impacted by its temperature. Clearly, like any other semiconductor device, the expected life of an LED device is highly temperature dependent.

Similar to any other semiconductor device, the cooling option are as broads as the application for the LED – these range from simple copper plate or a heat sink to spread and dissipate the heat to a sophisticated cooling system that may contain liquid or refrigerants. These can be broadly divided into two categories of passive and active systems. In this presentation the details of LED’s heat transfer that will dictate the selection of the cooling system will be reviewed. The presentation will show cooling options and their effectiveness that are available for single or multi-chip LED lights for varied applications.



Luc van der Poel
Senior Lighting Application Specialist / Designer, Lighting Application Services, Philips Lighting

Day 1
13.30-14.00
The visual impression of colored light

Luc van der Poel has 23 years of experience on lighting design and applications. He studied building techniques and architectural design and after a few years in architecture he joined the Dutch Philips Lighting organization to become a specialist in shop lighting. After three years he went to the international Lighting design department of Philips lighting with a focus on architectural indoor lighting applications. In 1999 after winning a contest of the Dutch government he started a new innovation group called “Traffic lighting systems” which developed new lighting solutions for traffic management and guidance. In 2002 Luc joined the Solid state lighting group of Philips lighting as a senior application specialist. Since 2008 Luc returned to his first love, lighting design, with a focus again on shop lighting. In the last 15 years Luc wrote more than 30 patents mostly in the field of intelligent LED lighting applications.

The visual impression of colored light

With the introduction of LED lighting we see more and more dynamic and intelligent lighting solutions. One of the trends is the growing use of colored light in various applications. The luminous effects of spotlighting using white light are well known and described in term of the accent factor. Colored lighting is not yet described in this way. New experiments now give better insight in the visual effect of colored lighting in relation to white light applications. The presentation will explain how these experiments where done and the first results will be shown.


Ing. Adriaan Jongepier
Director Specification & Business Development Europe & Middle East, Somfy Commercial Building Solutions Business Group

Day 1
14.00-14.30
Natural light harvesting versus light balancing

Adriaan Jongepier (1951) finalized his studies Chemical Technology and Business Administration in the Netherlands, in 1975. In 1996 he joined the Somfy group, managing a subsidiary specialized in the development, production and sales of solarshading control systems for non-residential buildings.

In the period 1996 – today he executed different roles inside the Somfy group, all related to energy management in the non-residential building environment. In this period he established a connection between different scientific centers in the world to feed the innovation processes in the organization.

The focus in 1996 was mainly on stand-alone control solutions for internal & external shading systems. Driven by modern building regulations we quickly move to fully integrated shading, lighting, HVAC, security control solutions, with the objective to create a high quality and stable indoor visual and thermal comfort against the lowest possible level of “plugged energy”.

We can reach this objective by smartly using the (still) free of charge natural energy resource, the sun, but only when the building is smartly designed. Even when, we have to observe that today’s system-control integration is not enough and we have to start adding extra, and above all, intelligent control layers on top of it.

Natural light harvesting versus light balancing

In the lecture Adriaan Jongepier will address natural light harvesting versus light balancing and you will get a view of the architects’ challenges to creating a smartly designed building, keeping in mind that not any control system can “repair” a nonoptimized design. Today’s building design-practice and building-realization-process needs to be challenged.

Smart Lighting Systems Design and Applications

The emergence of smart lighting technologies are enabled by the rapid development of energy efficient, digitally controllable, miniaturized, semiconductor LED based solid state light (SSL) sources. More significantly, smart lighting engineered systems are envisioned to deliver functionalities beyond the realm of mere replacement of incandescent and compact fluorescent lamps by LED lamps. The fundamental premise of smart lighting is based on the unique controllability of emission spectrum, polarization, temporal modulation, and spatial emission pattern of LEDs. These LED functionalities are already being used to develop a variety of technologies by the industry. The unique proposition for smart lighting systems made by the Smart Lighting Engineering Research Center (ERC) goes beyond the utilization of LED properties for different applications. The smartness in the system can only be designed by adding feedback loops with light sensors, control electronics and software, mimicking the evolution of a transistor to a computer. In essence, the fundamental design architecture of a smart lighting system consists of three core components: sources, sensors and controls. Smart lighting systems will enable a multitude of new applications including medical treatments, high efficiency interactive displays, indoor bio-diversity agriculture, safer transportation, efficient wireless communication. In this talk, the research pertaining to systems development for Efficient Full Spectrum Adaptive Lighting, Dual illumination-data communication, Biochemical Sensing and Mitigation, and Display Illumination fusion will be discussed. The requirements of light sources, light sensors and controls algorithms and protocols for designing smart lighting systems will be presented. Technological barriers based on materials and devices will be highlighted.

Smart System Integration technologies for Smart Lighting

This talk will outline some technology trends and industrial roadmap towards the emerging field of smart system integration in different application fields, including the field of smart lighting and ambient intelligence.
A global move toward solid-state lighting (SSL) to replace incandescent lamps for general illumination will save enormous amounts of primary energy in the next years. In fact, it is expected that all incandescent light bulbs will disappear from the European Union market by 2012-2013.
A growing alternative is lighting produced from light emitting diodes (LEDs), with white LEDs already achieving high efficiencies and efficacies of 100 lm/W or more with high colour rendering index (CRI).
A smart system is a system that is able to sense one or more quantities of different nature, and communicate the values to a remote unit by an RF wireless link. The system is autonomously powered by a battery or by capturing energy from other sources of energy available in the ambient (e.g. photovoltaic, electromagnetic, thermoelectric, vibration, etc.)
The talk will highlight some aspects of smart lighting which is built on the technology platforms and system integration capabilities existing in STMicroelectronics, that can be used in modern lighting systems, to improve overall efficiency, energy consumption and intelligent control solutions.

A keen advocator of integrated solid state lighting solutions with other emerging technologies,
Such as printed electronics, visible light communications, renewable power generation and low voltage dc grids.

I sit on several influential technology focused bodies;  Supporting Photonics 21  in Europe on lighting and displays, as well as emerging technologies in solar harvesting. I am the deputy Chair of the Plastic Electronics Leadship Group (driving the creation of this exciting new industry) and the UK’s PETeC's technology advisory board. Outside of this I delivered Project Topless....the UK's only pled R&D consortium targeting high quality white light devices based on single polymer structures suitable for general lighting applications. I helped to raised over £6million of public funding for this technology sector over the last three years. I am presently focused on the next stage of pled lighting...Project TOPDRAWER, the migration of pled lighting panels towards high yield manufactureable pled luminaires

Polymer OLED lighting; the road to commercial exploitation through integration

This presentation will deliver an insight into:
1. what is polymer oled lighting?
2. the technical challenges for polymer oled lighting ahead?
3. design, integration and exploitation of organic solid state lighting

This presentation will present details of the project Topdrawer, it’s status, and the necessary steps to take pled lighting technology through to exploitation. It will present an overview of the oled lighting, whilst challenging the status-quo of the philosophy of pled lighting being a fluorescent replacement technology and present scenarios for oled lighting applications and accelerated market adoption.

The Topdrawer consortium comprises: Thorn Lighting (Lead), Cambridge Display Technology, Tridonic, Pilkington, Conductive Inkjet Technologies and the University of Durham. It is a 2½ year, £4.3M  program,  which is due to be delivered in April 2013. Topdrawer will generate and report on manufacturing yield data, manufactured panel performance variation, organic material utilisation, and comprehensive manufacturing/product cost models whilst at the same time working with designers to produce aesthetic but quasi-functional luminaire demonstrators.

Challenges and Opportunities for Energy Efficient Buildings and Cities

The smart grid is a system of systems i.e. a complex ecosystem of heterogeneous cooperating entities that interact in order to provide the envisioned functionality. Advanced business services are envisaged that will take advantage of the near real-time information flows among all participants. These real-world energy services will go way beyond the existing ones and enable us not only to become more energy aware, but also to optimally manage it. There might be new challenges to master, but also new business opportunities and innovation are possible. New roles, services and revenue channels may be created by utilizing the what the Smart Grid offers. For instance, the use of smart buildings and intelligent street lighting may act as an electricity balancing partner and participate in energy marketplaces.

President Professional Lighting Designers Association [PLDA]

Day 2
16.30-17.00
Intelligent Light Design- Three examples of innovative LED application

Francesco Iannone is born in Bari, Italy, graduated at Politecnico di Milano in Architecture in 1975 and joined the Italian Ordine degli Architetti, is a Lighting Designer and one of the Founding Members of the European Lighting Designers' Association (ELDA+), today PLDA (Professional Lighting Designers' Association); inside this organization, he served as Vicepresident and President for two consecutive terms.

Intelligent Light Design- Three examples of innovative LED application

When it comes to innovation, in the field of LEDs, all generally understood that you're talking about new LEDs. When it comes to innovative applications, once again, everyone thinks that there is talk of new equipment. And if we were talking about new ways of thinking about the use of LEDs? Sometimes new equipment and new LEDs come from some pioneers who love trying out new frontiers.
My speech is about a project in Monza  , near Milan, where during the cleaning work of the wall paintings are experimenting with new combinations of LEDs.Or the project of a small Swiss town that has a special lakeside: every night, the lake responds by creating bright suggestions in sync with nature. Another project in Rome: the exhibition of Lorenzo Lotto. A neuronal stimulation of the visitors brain that allows to enter in direct contact with the work of art. This is the role of lighting designer :Innovate the use of commercial products.
The lighting designer is perhaps a visionary, but his figure certainly helps to make a fundamental driving force behind the introduction of new technologies on the market.
