Cree has released an LED with 200+ Lumens/Watt.
Haitz Law Wiki
"every decade, the cost per lumen (unit of useful light emitted) falls by a factor of 10, and the amount of light generated per LED package increases by a factor of 20, for a given wavelength (color) of light."
XLamp Link to Cree
Built on Cree’s revolutionary SC³ Technology™ LED platform, the MK-R LED delivers up to 200 lumens-per-watt, enabling lighting manufacturers to create the next generation of high-lumen indoor and outdoor LED lighting systems. MK-R LEDs are available in EasyWhite® color temperatures, providing the LED industry’s best color consistency for designs that use only one LED. For systems that use multiple LEDs, MK-R enables manufacturers to use fewer LEDs while still maintaining light output and quality, which translates to lower system cost.

Plastic Light Bulbs !!??
"
US researchers say they have
developed a new type of lighting that could replace fluorescent bulbs.
The new source is made from layers of plastic and is said to be more efficient while producing a better quality of flicker-free light.

Prudential Lighting
I was at the Prudential Lighting factory Friday of last week and was impressed by a couple of their products/capabilities. The first photo below is of an 18" recessed round with mud ring for trimless application and linear recessed with a mud ring on one side to accommodate drywall installation and typical flanged on the other side to move to a lay-in ceiling. Neat application that may be desirable for lighting over conference tables for example. The second photo is of a 6' round recessed, certainly a statement.

Color Kinetics on the Empire State Builiding
One of my Philips manufacturers, Color Kinetics, launched the re-lighting of the Empire State Building in LEDs with intro by Alicia Keys. Pretty neat.
Locally, you can see Color Kinetics changing colors at the Nabrico Building by the stadium. The colors can change in rapid succession or fade over a long period of time. As is often the case with LEDs, maintenance costs and energy costs will be significantly reduced. I have a large sampling of CK fixtures and can do simple examples and mock-ups if anyone would like to experiment or show a client.
Thanks and please find a video in the following link.

Lighting Control Strategies
The California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) organized a study in eight
private offices at the UC Davis to attempt to determine energy savings for bi-level switching in offices. Here are the findings:
• The auto-ON to 100% bilevel occupancy sensor saved 34% compared to the baseline.
• The auto-ON to 50% bilevel occupancy sensor saved 52% compared to the baseline.
• The manual-ON bilevel occupancy sensor saved 46% compared to the baseline.
Link to Lighting Control Associates Summary
Wattstopper handles this through a digital system ( DLM Site ) that is commissioned out of the box and is extremely easy to install as demonstrated in the video below. Also, keep in mind that there is additional savings if LED lighting is being used because LEDs will last even longer when in a dimmed state.
• The auto-ON to 100% bilevel occupancy sensor saved 34% compared to the baseline.

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.

Load Shedding Control by Wattstopper
This is a good white paper by Wattstopper. Let me know if you have any questions.
Shad Asebrook
Sesco Lighting
615-830-1655
Link to Wattstopper PDF
Solutions for Load SheddingWith energy alerts on the rise and demand charges increasing, load shedding has become an important lighting control strategy. Because many lighting loads are non-critical, they are prime candidates for load shedding along with other non-critical building loads.
Daylighting Controls
Load shedding with daylighting controls is a natural, automatic process. Because high energy demand often occurs at the same time daylighting potential is the greatest, the natural consequence of using daylighting controls will be to reduce lighting as the level of daylight increases and becomes adequate to replace artificial lighting sources.
With continuous dimming products, such as The Watt Stopper’’s LightSaver LCD control, users can define the minimum light level they want to maintain throughout the course of a day, and the dim- ming controls will adjust artificial lighting based on this setpoint and the available daylight contribu- tion. When daylight is adequate, lights will be dimmed and when daylight diminishes, artificial light levels are raised. The multi-zone option of the LCD enables the use of independent dimming controls in different areas of a building space, such as an open office area, where daylight levels may differ. One lighting zone, nearer to windows or skylights where daylight levels are higher, may dim artificial light- ing earlier in the day and to lower levels than in another lighting zone that is located further from the daylight source and receiving a smaller daylight contribution.
ON/OFF switching controls, such as The Watt Stopper’’s LightSaver LCO control, are also effective load shedding tools. Compatible with all lamp types, ON/OFF controls turn lights off when the daylight contribution reaches a user-defined level. Multi-zone controls enable bi-level, or stepped dimming, which can be particularly effective as a load shedding strategy. Most commonly, individual lamps with- in a multi-lamp fixture will be grouped into different zones; the inner lamps in three-lamp fixtures in one zone and the outer two lamps in a separate zone. The lighting in each zone is turned off once day- light levels reach a defined setpoint. Usually, the zone comprised of the inner lamps will be turned off first, reducing lighting by one-third. Later in the day, when the daylight contribution increases, the other lighting zone can be turned off. For more aggressive load shedding, the sequence can be reversed, to shed two-thirds of the lighting load earlier in the day.
The Watt Stopper Application Bulletin
Lighting Control Panels
Another effective tool for achieving load shedding is the use of lighting control panels. Panel prod- ucts perform load shedding by turning off non-critical loads during peak times.
For instance, users of The Watt StopperComplete Control panel products can employ a prepro- grammed control scenario to shed non-critical lighting loads. This could be half of the lighting in a "bi-level" controlled space. Under such a scenario, occupants are "locked out" from exercising local overrides via switches or telephone contact with the system. This control scenario can be pro- grammed to operate during daily intervals when peak loads are most likely to occur, or when a facility historically attains its highest demand. This strategy can also be invoked under energy shortage alerts.
Specialized Load Shedding Solutions
Additional automated load shedding solutions include teaming The Watt Stopper Automatic Relay Pack (ARP) with the Telephone Switch Module (TSM). Non-critical, sheddable loads are connected to one relay on the ARP-Net, while critical, non-sheddable loads are connected to the other relay. The TSM is installed on the ARP-Net network. During a power alert, a call into the TSM from the facility manager will turn off the relay with non-critical loads. The ARP’s lock-off capability ensures that once the signal from the TSM is received, lighting or other loads (i.e., HVAC, fans, etc.) immediately shut off, and that ordinary occupant overrides are not available. To restore the loads, the facility manager makes only a quick call back to the TSM and follows a sim-
ple push-button sequence.

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.

LED Emergency Sconce
For the electrical engineering community here in Nashville and middle Tennessee, this is a great emergency LED sconce. I have ordered a sample for TLC Engineers who asked to see the fixture and can bring it for a demonstration to anyone else who would like to see it... thank you.

watt and 50 watt.
- In order to provide speed to
market, the 121-EM is based on 121 generation 1 technology. It is
available with Wide Throw (WT), Forward Throw (FT) and Medium Throw (MT)
optics. Note: luminaires with MT optics include a diffuse lens.
- 121-EM with FT and WT optics

are provided with a diffuse lens. For a similar outward appearance, simply
specify the DL (diffuse lens) option on 121-Generation 2 luminaires for a
closer match to the 121-EM with MT optics.
Each
121-EM wall sconce includes a combination indicator light and test switch
located in the door frame center, near the wall.

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!
