Vanderbilt University, LED Lighting

This is a new project at Vanderbilt University.  As you can see, it is still under construction but is using the Cree CR Series 1'X4' LED lay-in.  This was specified by Hastings Architecture here in Nashville with the electrical engineering by Tony Scoggins of MP&E Engineering.

PIL Lighting at the Yazoo Brewery

Our first Tuesday event at the Yazoo Brewery is going to be very casual this week with no presentations.  I will bring fixtures from one of my new manufacturers, Performance in Lighting.  PIL is an architectural fixture manufacturer  known for short lead times and modifications with fixtures made in the USA. 


The gathering will be from 5-7 PM at

Ledalite Revit Families Feature:

Functional Format

Face-based (rather than ceiling or wall hosted) families make it possible to use the files in both the architect model and in linked files used by contractors, regardless of which Revit suite being used.

All lighting fixture families contain an electrical connector to facilitate downstream Revit performance modeling in the development of electrical drawings and calculations.

Parametric Variables


Variable dimension parameters allow designers to change luminaire suspension length or mounting height of fixtures as needed.

Parametric controls allow designers to control the visibility of endcaps, sensors, suspension cables, etc.

Color + Clarity


2D Plan View symbols help keep layout drawings clear, easy to read, and minimize document file sizes.

All family drawing elements are assigned a material or finish type to facilitate realistic Revit renderings.

Always Up to Date


Each Revit file includes a date field in the Family Types dialog box. As subsequent revisions and modifications are made to the models, this date will be updated making it easy for users to identify the most current family version.

 

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. "

Video from Speirs and Major for the Cree/Beta Aeroblades.  This fixture is very cool looking.
