Description
Although light-emitting diode (LED) systems have become the preferred light source primarily due to their
lower power consumption and extremely long life, LED systems offer many advantages for improving
architectural aesthetics. This one-hour course reviews the characteristics of LED systems that—when
properly specified—can improve both fixture and space aesthetics. In addition, this program offers
guidance for properly specifying LED products in order to overcome potential shortcomings of LED
systems.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how LED technology compares favorably to all other lighting sources
- Identify unique characteristics of LED lighting systems that enable unique and appealing light fixture designs
- Describe how the use of LED sources and optics can enhance space aesthetics
- List attributes that require proper specification in order to minimize or eliminate potential shortcomings of LED systems

Description
The development of light in the outdoor environment reflects the evolution of modern society. By providing artificial lighting in public places, the rhythm of urban life as it alternates between day and night has been instrumental in the process of man’s colonization of time. Today, metropolises around the world are competing for the most recognizable nighttime appearance, for striking light effects, a designed “lightscape“. At the same time, the contrast between interior and exterior in architecture is steadily disappearing. At night, transparent buildings are transformed into structures that shine from within. The interior lighting concept carries over onto the outside and must be seamlessly combined on the outside of the building. Lighting design necessitates an integrated approach – taking into account the conditions on the outside, such as exposure to the weather and pollution. Both in the dense urban spaces of the cities and in the surroundings of private buildings, the requirement are growing for precision lighting, for energy efficiency and for visual comfort. This program will review the various methods illuminating outdoor architectural areas.

Lighting design can be a daunting process because it balances conflicting needs. Luminaires themselves balance needs, as some benefits come at the expense of others. Lumen output, glare-free apertures, small housings, and more are in a constant tug of war.
Edison Price Lighting's continuing education course, Balancing Lighting Needs, offers the way forward. The course outlines a step-by-step process to first identify, then prioritize needs related to...
- The installation, including ceiling properties, special regulations, and the focus of illumination
- The aesthetics, including aperture and housing appearance, seamless installation, and optics.
- The maintenance, including the ease and frequency of LED, beamspread, of function upgrades, as well as fine-tuning.
- The end user, including their budget, deadline, and interaction with the fixture after installation.

Simplify the process of selecting dimming controls by by asking the appropriate questions: Where to dim lighting? Why dim lighting? and How to dim lighting?
Answers to these questions will vary based on the space's specific needs. Not all spaces require the same scales of control, light levels, or color temperatures.
Wired dimming requires asking these questions as early as possible. Otherwise, you risk hard-wiring a dimming control inappropriate to that application.
Wireless dimming provides greater flexibility, as well as inexpensive installation and maintance costs. Wireless dimming unlocks potential for building automation and more.

Description
This one hour program focuses on the breakthrough of LED technology currently being experienced in architectural lighting which is probably the biggest development in lighting technology for decades. The new technology opens up possibilities for realizing sustainable lighting approaches to a previously unattainable level. "Museum quality" light is seen as the ultimate yardstick amongst lighting designers. LED technology is of particular interest here as it combines the qualities of the already widely used low-voltage halogen lamps, such as dimmability and excellent color rendition, with an energy efficiency previously only known from fluorescent lamps or high-pressure lamps. But it outperforms these in terms of life and caters to the conservators# wishes of UV and IR-free light.

From hopeful candidate to practical alternative: the use of LEDs as a light source in architectural lighting is no longer just as a colored effect light or orientation luminaire, but as accent lighting and ambient lighting, right through to high-quality wallwashing. It is at such times of change that there is a rise in the request for bona fide information, e.g. what are thespecific properties of LEDs for architectural lighting? What are their advantages compared with conventional lamps? How do LED lighting tools operate? What factors govern their efficiency in practical applications? What design possibilities do LED luminaires and to what extent does this alter design processes and cause paradigm changes? These and other questions are dealt with in this presentation.
To understand the LED lighting innovations and apply in practice with different lighting approaches provide new opportunities for architects, designers, engineers and users alike to enhance the quality, functional utility and efficiency, which become ourfuture needs.
