DLM: Digital Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor
We're pleased to announce the launch of new Digital Lighting Management (DLM) Wall Switch Occupancy Sensors that make it easier than ever to plug in self-configuring, code-compliant, digital sensors throughout an installation. The one and two-button LMPW-100 Series (PIR) and LMDW-100 Series (dual technology) sensors are ideal for conference rooms, offices and restrooms. |

And above is a case study for DLM at Weber State University.

Bad Cove Lighting
This is a to be unnamed restaurant that Jen, Caleb, and I frequent after church on Sundays. I think this is a bad example of cove lighting and there are three possible solutions that I will show.
So the line on the ceiling is a bit uneven and odd looking. Of course I make a living doing this but the pattern was distracting to me. I could not see into the cove but suspect that this is a staggered strip. Three ideas that would have made this a better cove lighting job:
1. Increase the depth of the cove. The greater depth would allow for more dispersion and the pattern would be further in to the middle of the the ceiling.
2. Use linear LEDs. This is a more expensive option, at least in initial cost, but an LED with a narrow, elliptical distribution would not have this issue and with an adjustable mounting bracket could push the light in to the middle which is desirable. Here is an example of such a fixture: Beghelli Spyder
3. Use the new seemless lamps. This would give uniformity but would not kick the light to the middle of the ceiling. This would be better than the current solution but not the best in a good, better, best scenario.

Light Meter App
This is a great app for lighting people or if you want to show an owner what footcandles are in a space. A Light Meter app! I tested against a "real" light meter from Greenlee at showed 22 FC at my desk. The whitegood light meter showed 18 so not completely accurate but I had a case on my phone, etc. It works as a good estimate of light quantity. Search "whitegoods" at iTunes.
That is me and my son Caleb at Stone Fort park in Manchester TN in the background.
From the whitegoods site:
New Update Available for Whitegoods Light Meter App
Whitegoods have made further improvements to their recently launched LightMeter App;
The new updates include:
-An easy to use manual calibration tool where you can input readings taken from a real light
meter allowing for more accurate calibration.
- We have improved the decimalisation of Lux/foot-candle readings
-Default settings for low/medium or bright light levels to improve performance
-'How does it work' section on Info tab
-Settings for foot-candles or lux
Always have a light meter at hand with this intuitive and easy-to-use app. Compatible with iPhone 3GS,
4 and 4S, iPad and iPod Touch (iOS 5.0 or later). Works with front and back cameras and includes a built-in timer.

Downtown Block Gets Makeover To Help Promote The Arts
Downtown Block Gets Makeover To Help Promote The Arts ( News Channel Five Video Report)
Starting next week the block of 5th Avenue North, between Church and Union Streets, will get a makeover that will highlight the area as an arts district.
This is being designed by Hawkins Partners landscape architects. Great project. I am supplying the catenary fixture and the LED curtain lighting.

Color Kinetics at the Nashville Bridge Company
This is the Nabrico Building in the Cumberland Park area, Nashville. The blue tower is lighted by Philips Color Kinetics (CK) LEDs.
http://www.colorkinetics.com/
We can light very tall stuff with CK LEDs as well. The below link is to the Color Kinetics website showing the CN Tower in Toronto. I think the downtown architecture of Nashville lends itself to some interesting possibilities and I will update as more come online.

Beta Calco Product of the Month
Beta Calco Xacara
There are a bunch of iterations of this fixture that can be found in the below link. I really like this fixture in terms of quality, function, and cost. The larger versions are good for general lighting and all in LED. I have a sample of this fixture as well. If interested, give me a call and I will bring it by!

BK Lighting and Lighting Facts Lables
The U.S. Department of Energy is giving the 'thumbs up' on
41 new Lighting Facts labels for B-K Lighting solid-state products including the
Mini Micro™ Floodlight, Mini Micro™ Pathlight, Mini Micro™ Pendant, Chart Star™
and Yacht Star™.

B-K Lighting Earns More Lighting Facts Labels
2012-04-12
The U.S. Department of Energy is giving the 'thumbs up' on 41 new Lighting Facts labels for B-K Lighting solid-state products including the Mini Micro™ Floodlight, Mini Micro™ Pathlight, Mini Micro™ Pendant, Chart Star™ and Yacht Star™.
Each Lighting Facts label summarizes a fixture’s solid-state performance data in five areas — lumens, efficacy, watts, correlated color temperature (CCT), and color rendering index (CRI)- as measured by the industry standard for testing photometric performance, IES LM-79-2008.
Once approved, each registered product is issued a Lighting Facts label.
Just like nutritional labels issued for food products, Lighting Facts labels give lighting professionals and designers direct access to information and facts needed to review performance claims.
Since becoming a partner in 2009, B-K Lighting has registered close to 200 products with the D.O.E. SSL Quality Advocates Program and is ranked as one of the top manufacturers worldwide.
That number will continue to grow as additional products are approved.
Lighting Facts Label information for BKSSL™ approved products is available online at www.bklighting.com and www.bkssl.com.

Cree Aeroblades News
http://www.betaled.it/en/informato-new-id.php?idNews=67
From the Cree Website:
"This new product, whose name says it all, was developed by Ruud Lighting in collaboration with the Speirs+Major Associates Lighting Design practice. With its aerodynamic form and precision performance, Cree Aeroblades perfectly combine design and cutting-edge technology creating a perfect balance between its bold form and innovative content. Cree Aeroblades reinvents the product starting from its modularity. A new light bar has been developed around the LEDs: a new light source that is so very small yet capable of achieving the lighting technology performance required for urban lighting. From content to form: both the light bar and the fixture have an unconventional design and a sharp, ultra-thin face that sets “the new normal” for street lighting fixtures. "

Color Kinetics at the Super Bowl
Super Bowl XLIII
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Florida, USA
Installation Description
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa’s host venue for the Super Bowl, was temporarily illuminated with Philips state-of-the-art LED lighting as part of a city-wide beautification effort for the championship game on February 1, 2009.
Design Objective
From January 27 through game day, the design team wanted to illuminate the stadium’s exterior with colorful, customizable lighting, creating a dynamic, visual focal point for Tampa residents and visiting fans.
How Did They Do It?
Design firm Infinite Scale Design was responsible for designing and branding the overall look of the city of Tampa for Super Bowl XLIII. Working with lighting designer Dall Brown, they chose to accentuate the stadium’s exterior crown using ColorReach™ Powercore – a large-scale architectural LED floodlight.
Each fixture was individually programmed to produce millions of colors and color-changing effects. Controlled via iPlayer® 3 and using ColorPlay® 3 authoring software, this show storage and playback device enabled the stadium to display the colors of the opposing teams as well as providing dazzling lighting effects. The fixtures were supplied by LED Source and programmed and installed by local Tampa entertainment solutions provider, Bay Stage Lighting.
In addition to generating dynamic effects, ColorReach Powercore supported the National Football League’s recent efforts to make the Super Bowl event more “green.” The temporary lighting scheme required minimal energy, just 290 watts per fixture. Even when operating at full intensity, ColorReach Powercore consumed less than half the energy of a typical coffeemaker. By comparison, the traditional metal halide fixtures typically used in such exterior projects consume 1,600 watts each and require gels to produce colored lighting.
The Result?
ColorReach Powercore helped create a visually striking look for the city of Tampa, while matching the excitement of one of the most important sporting events of the year.

Qtran Transformer Benefits
Here is a video that may be of interest to landscape architects and electrical engineers. The video discussed transformer noise, light loss for low voltage lamps, and lamp life. This is a good explanation of transformers and worth the 7 minutes.

Here is a link to to a voltage drop calculator as well.
