Transitions - Mixing Creative Lighting Design and Technology

SSL University

Day 3 - Session 6
Presenter: Jim Anderson - Dir. Strategic Marketing, Philips Color Kinetics

Transitions is about exploring new directions in architectural lighting, connecting people, and sharing visions. In this presentation, Jim provided a review of a touring exhibit of 8 x 20 shipping containers whose interiors contain expressed visions of lighting designers and architects. This is an intriguing concept with surprising and inspired results.

For those who joined us at ArchLED09, thank you again. This was an excellent conference, exceeding ArchLED08 in attendance, and bright even more discussion in every session than ever.

We structured the conference around the balance of the art and science of illumination, and the place solid-state lighting is taking within this context. Our opening day was designed to provoke some thought, from the opening presentation on the topic of modularization, to the discussion of standards and standardization.

The second day was structured to start with Artistic expression, leading into discussion of the science behind energy saving and sustainability. As expected, their was more to be said on the objective topics, while the subjective art of light drew moderate response. This is indicative of the state of illumination today, where engineering solutions and pressing forward on hard science around quantitative targets is far more directly addressed, than the underlying need for ...

A Fresh Approach

SSL University

Day 1 - Session 1
Presenter: Mike Picini, VP Solid State Lighting, Molex Inc.

This opening presentation explored the parallels between the development of SSL integration and other electronic industries, where the breakthrough in wide spread market adoption occurred when modular connections between components became common. Modular inter-connectivity allows the greatest number of producers to enter the market, solving application problems, rather that expending time and resources on continual customization and re-invention. Modularity facilitates reduced inventories of rapidly evolving complementary - such as LED sources - and produces the opportunity for upgrading existing systems as new advances are made. Further, modularity provides for permanent architectural lighting that can be maintained and repaired, rather than replaced at the end of service life.

Mike's presentation explores this topic from the perspective of an industry leading connector manufacturer, which has played a role in the development of modularity in telecommunications, electronics, and computer markets, and ...
