Faced with group re-lamping of its plant, Tower Automotive met the challenge of providing a cleaner, brighter work environment for its employees through the use of pulse-start metal halide lamps and ballasts. The retrofit project is detailed by Kathy Fullerton. SMED Internationals new headquarters required a flexible lighting system suitable for its manufacturing plant, but also inviting enough for its showroom and its cafeteria and fitness facility. Livio Barone and Jeff Bannard outline the steps taken to ensure the design met all needs.

ON THE COVER: The Space Needle, an icon known internationally as being synonymous with Seattle, recently had its lighting redesigned to commemorate the 21st century. The project, designed by Ross De Alessi Lighting Design, included relighting of the ground-level Plaza Building, as well as the Top House, the main attraction. Outline lighting mounted on the outside of the golden Halo Ring was removed in place of feature lighting from below to better accentuate the architecture. Photo: Ross De Alessi 2 LD+A/August 2001

heifer, Walerczyk and Ofsevit are to be highly commended for an excellent article (Essay by Invitation, June 2001). They have pulled together some of the critical factors that are often ignored in many side-by-side lighting system comparisons. Three specific questions for the authors: 1. What ambient temperature effects on light output do they consider for the various fluorescent systems, and are there temperature ranges outside of which they do not consider fluorescent to be the best choice? 2. Do they have solid confirmation of the 25 percent increase in lamp life and 13 percent improvement in EOL lumen maintenance shown for the pulse start MH lamps operating on the electronic ballasts, and are the ballast losses only 15 W? 3. Some of the systems shown suffer because of poor EOL lumen maintenance. Have they done comparisons or installations where lamps are replaced at time interval less than 100 percent of rated life? L.W. Kenyon, PE Hubbell Lighting Stan Walerczyk replies: We are glad that you liked our article. You brought up three very good questions and hopefully we have sufficient answers. 1. All of our hibay projects, so far, have been in California, so fluorescents in unheated warehouses have not been a concern. But we do have to deal with fluorescent hibays in cold storage rooms. Although T5HOs and T8s will start at relatively cold temperatures, their light output is not very good when the bulb wall temperature is cold. Installing a lens and sealing the fixture significantly helps to increase bulb wall temperature. A plastic lens and plastic overbody are better than a glass lens and metal housing. In addition, especially when its really cold, two lamps can remain on during operating hours and other lamps can be controlled by occupancy sensor or secondary switch. T5HOs provide about 25 percent of their light output when

temperature is 5C and 100 percent of their light output when temperature is 35C. F32T8s provide about 60 percent of their light output when temperature is 5C and 100 percent of their light output when temperature is 25C. Induction lamps can start as low as -40F, but light output will be low as long as temperature in the luminaire is low. HID performance is much less

tronic ballasts for high wattage pulse start metal halide lamps. The simplest answer to your question is, in the context of the classical way of defining life of the HID lamp, yes, life is increased by, at the very least, 25 percent and the last part of the question about EOL is moot. Let me qualify my answers by

first pointing out that the DPS ballast completely alters the physics of the operation of the HID lamp. The effects of classical starting techniques and low operating frequency where the timing of the driving wave shape is near the thermal time constants of the electrodes leads to the deteriative effects in the lamp. This process of light output decay is the lumen depreciation of the lamp. Examples of what has been accomplished with the DPS ballast: At the outset, the customer sets the mean lumen value of the lamp. This has the effect of 25 percent energy savings. Every six months, as the lamp ages, the operator simply trims the power to achieve constant light levels. The power increase is about 1 W per thousand hours. The effect of this is to preserve the lamp and allow it to work, doubling the area under the depreciation curve. In installations that are now greater than 17,000 hours, the lamps are not yet at full power. Effectively, we can provide mean lumens to 20,000 hours. The color is maintained as a result of operating with lower thermal loading of the arc tube wall. This is important since diffusion of the lighter elements that give color balance of the spectral output depends on the cube of the temperature (T3). The slightest reduction in operating temperature leads to a large improvement in retained color. In applications where control of the installation includes multiple daily on/off cycles, it becomes practical to utilize the HID lamp, without experiencing the classical reduction in lamp lumen performance. This is possible due to the patented energylimited ignition of the DPS ballast. This technique has no fixed energy dump into the lamp, which is usually prescribed by the capacitor in the ignitor circuit. This energy, forced into the lamp, takes its toll at the electrode-gas boundar y. The low work function of the cold electrodes during the ignition process causes substantial
4 LD+A/August 2001

amounts of materials to be displaced from the electrode and deposited on the arc tube wall. Though the energy is limited, the time for hot re-strike is about 180 seconds. Going further, once the current flow is established, the skin effect of high frequency current places all heating at the electrode surface instead of heat flow from the electrode core. This invert thermal gradient is ideal for reducing the electrode work function in the least amount of time. For the HID lamp, this eliminates life restrictions based on starts per day. With the high system efficacy, high power efficiency follows. The ballast is a resonant mode power supply adapted to drive an HID lamp. This type of supply has only conduction losses and no switching losses during the on-off cycles of the power devices. This leads to a measured efficiency of 95.596 percent or losses 16-18 W. At this time, we have placed 5,000 units, which average 12,000 hours operating time. We have had units in the field since 1996. The numbers cited are solid, both in their lumen performance and power saving ability. 3. We typically look at end-oflife, because that is worst case. If there is sufficient light then, there is sufficient light all of the time. 800-series tri-phosphor linear fluorescent has fairly flat lumen maintenance from 40-100 percent of lamp life. The lumen maintenance of HID, including pulse-start metal-halide lamps and magnetic ballasting is more linear downward throughout lamp life. So HID would not look so bad with group relamping at 75 percent or 80 percent of rated lamp life.

hrough the years, I have met many newcomers to the specification sales field. They have worked for many types of companies, and they typically go through some type of training pro-

tant, and it may be the most important aspect when dealing with the customer. Fundamentals of Lighting Training A source of frustration for many sales representatives, new or experienced, is the issue of relating their products to their customers needs. The recognition of this problem leads many factions, including manufacturers, manufacturers representatives and electrical distributors, to ensure the training of their sales representatives on the fundamental knowledge of lighting. A course in fundamentals of lighting includes a general overview of lighting theories, lighting products, lighting calculations and lighting applications. Basic and advanced courses are offered by many IESNA sections, typically over a period of six to eight weeks, meeting once a week for two hours. Many manufacturers, mostly from the lamp and fixture sector, also offer three-day or five-day fundamentals of lighting courses. These courses are available not only for their own staff, but also for the design community as a whole. It is highly recommended that this training take place early in the process of a new sale representatives training, preferably after a few weeks of product training. This helps the sales representative obtain a clear perspective of how his or her companys products fit into the bigger picture of the lighting scene. Understanding the Design Industry The specification sales representative can benefit greatly with a better understanding of how the design industry works and the role of lighting design within the industr y. I have seen this learning process accomplished through various methods. Many new representatives have learned from more experienced specification sales representatives, simply by working and communicating with them. I have also watched a number of companies accomplish the same objective by hiring specifiers or outside consultants to conduct semi-

gram. Depending on the company they represent, the training program can either be very formal or somewhat casual. Regardless of the nature of this training, a good program usually covers certain basic skills that are needed to give the new recruit a good chance to succeed at his or her job. Based on my experience and observation through the years, a good training program should include the following basic elements. Product Training Possibly the most important aspect of a good training program involves the technical education of the sales representative, since all customers expect their sales representatives to know their products well. Sales representatives should be the experts concerning the products they represent, and they should have near-immediate accessibility to additional information relating to their products, such as competitive analysis or compatibility information. A considerable amount of effort is spent by most lighting companies to train their sales force and sales representatives about their products. Many companies have very organized schedules for periodic product training of their sales force. It is essential that periodic product training sessions be set up not only for new employees, but also for the more experienced sales people. Today, some larger companies even hold regular product training sessions via satellite or telephone conferences to save travel cost and time. Whatever the format, effective product training is something that most companies regard as impor6 LD+A/August 2001

SPECIFICATION SALES

nars on the specification process. By learning the specification process, the sales force also learns about the design industry. This knowledge helps a specification sales representative understand his or her clients better, enables him or her to ask the right questions, and can provide a greater insight into the level of control the client may or may not have over a specific project. Although this should be an important part of sales training for the specification sales force; often, it is not part of the program, or is considered less important than other training aspects. Basic Sales Skills Training Training of basic sales skills, from how to plan and make a call on the customer, to the very basic rules of politeness in making a sales call, is just as important as the specific training already mentioned. This training can be especially meaningful when it is tailored toward the specification sales group with specifier customers in mind. All new salespeople can benefit greatly from such training. Despite its mundane and boring nature, it is more than worthwhile to instill some of these apparently common sense behaviors periodically to any sales force. A training course can spruce up these basic skills, and a healthy dose of humor will help retain the attention of the trainees. The above are the building blocks of a specification sales training program. From here, a specification salesperson can continue to build upon these blocks by digging deeper into different areas of interest and concentration. There are cer tainly many more advanced lighting application and sales skills seminars available through various professional trade shows. All specification salespeople are highly encouraged to enrich their understanding of the lighting industry by actively participating in the opportunities that are available to them.

illiam Lam introduced biological needs as the dominant requirement of architectural design. He identified those needs as orientation, a sense of location, time, weather and season; a feeling of security, an enclosed territory, a place of refuge; a time for stimulation and relaxation; and the presence of other living beings. He observed, Lighting which pro-

vides well for biological needs simultaneously takes care of most activity needs.1 Light in empty space is invisible. To make a meaningful judgment of light, it cannot be dissociated from surfaces and objects seen in the light. Those things are determined and defined by the architect or interior designer, both as to the enclosure and objects arranged within the walls. Who, then, is in the better position to decide upon the selection and placement of luminaires to achieve the desired effect? One can only conclude that illumination is properly a part of the design and should be planned by those who originated the design. The limits of space, sizes and placement all can be measured, and for every measureable property, there is a unit of measurement. Most of Lams biological needs, such as orientation, feeling of security, stimulation and relaxation, lack a practical unit of measurement. Ralph Evans observed, We are discussing psychological variables, that is mental percepts, which cannot be measured in any way.2 The presence of other people and human conversation is accomplished through the use of symbols; verbal, using words, visual, with many symbols. Consider Olympic Games symbols used to assist the athletes from the many countries to orient and pursue their various activities, or the symbols that direct and control traffic. Our alpha-

bet is a set of symbols, which, when combined, form the enormous array of language symbols. Speech and written language promote the interchange of ideas: The more articulate the speech, the more accurate the message. Many visual symbols are so entrenched that, at a single glance, directions, instructions or other admonition, are clearly given. A designer of space and light uses brightness, color and placement to attract attention, portray, decorate, provide persuasive approval and express emotion. There are things that 10 thousand brush strokes cannot depict, but can be captured by a few simple strokes if they are right. Uniform light (totally indirect, approaching sphere illumination) on a scene makes objects visible. It illuminates and reveals differences in hue, chroma and lightness. If the source is small and creates highlights and shadows of all kinds, an objects three-dimensional properties are emphasized and contrast is amplified. We have thus to distinguish between local or concentrated, and general or uniform illumination, and a combination of both, and have to distribute the light flux in accordance therewith, that is, produce a high flux density at the points or areas requiring high concentrated illumination, a low and uniform flux density throughout the remaining space. said Charles Steinmetz.3 Highlights on specular surfaces are images of the source; their form depends upon the plane or curvature of the surfaces, as well as the shape of the source. Directional sources that produce highlights also cast sharp shadows. As sources become larger in size and surfaces become more diffuse, such highlights and cast shadows give way to the softer lights and shades associated with form-lights and form-shades. The average observer sees such lights and shades as defining form, rather than as a property of the illumination; that is, they are seen as belonging to the object rather than its illumination. Specular highlights are seen as bright outstanding areas arising from the light source. Analysis of these effects reveals a great deal about both the sources and the surfaces lighted by them.

Colors exist only in your mind. Faber Birren excuses most of us from the technical details of color when he writes, It is doubtful whether artists (or architects) need to know about the intricacies of color any more than good cooks need to know the chemical composition of the foodstuffs they use. Artistic and architectural expression commonly involves factors of creativity and innate feeling, which are hardly susceptible to material dissection. Technical considerations are less important than the evidence of vision.4 The evidence of vision is the viewers reality. Artists and designers note the effects of surrounds on color and note that the adaptation of the individual will also modify color sensitivity. However, origin of color arises in the scene you are looking at. It begins in the spectral distribution of the light source and is in turn, modified by objects. Dr. Corth concluded, Color is, from a biological viewpoint, merely a higher order of lightness perception...The full potential of the visual mechanism as it functions in the real world cannot be discovered in laboratory experiments in which the visual environment is stripped of complexity.5 Similarly, if a color is viewed in a manner that prevents seeing anything other than the specific color patch (aperture viewing) it may appear so different from the same color in a real world situation that the fact is difficult to accept. People who assemble jigsaw puzzles can attest to this fact; a piece in place looks quite different from the same piece, outside the puzzle and alone. Ralph M. Evans, quoting Helmholtz,6 says, When we open our eyes in an illuminated room, we see a manifold of spatially extended forms that are differentiated or separated from one another through differences in their color. He adds, Helmholtz then proceeded to the logical assumption that the colors seen could also be described by three perceptual variables. He observed that D. Katz made a tremendous contribution to the subject through his emphasis on the perception of illumination as a separate phenomenon caused by the situation as distinct from the localized www.iesna.org

stimuli, that is, illumination as distinct from objects. These attributes arise from the spectral energy distribution of light sources and our perceptions thereof. Evans says, Light that is seen to be illuminating objects is perceived as separate from the objects. This is a concept that is obvious to the nave and obscure to scientists. The nature of the scene to be lighted warrants careful attention. In The Right Light, I explained, The following will convey the idea of a progression from the general to the specific: First, exterior or interior; Second, public or private; Third, for many persons, for one or a few; Fourth, classifications of broad general types: domestic, religious, governmental, recreational, health, educational, industrial, commercial, office, transportation, roadway, etc.; Fifth, the breakdown within the spaces and residential will be used as an example: living, dining, sleeping, food preparation, grooming, interconnecting hallways, closets and any special hobby or recreational uses; Sixth, description of specific work or other task to be accomplished, considering: degree of difficulty as simple, advanced or complex, viewer participation as familiar, expected, strange, unexpected, etc.; and Seventh, specific size in visual terms (minutes of arc), form, lightness, chroma, hue, transparent or opaque, surface textures, contrasts of all kinds, location, orientation to viewer, time for viewing and motion.7 In the statement of the problem, be specific to ensure a proper result. We opened this essay with a quotation by Lam, so, in closing, it seems appropriate to return to Lams conclusions regarding these proposals. He ends his elaboration of the biological needs with a summary: Seeing is not a passive response to patterns of light; rather, it is an active information-seeking process directed and interpreted by the brain. Visual sensory data are coordinated with incoming, contextual information from the other senses related to past experiences of a comparable nature, and given attention or not depending on whether the incoming stimulus is classified as signal or noise. It is the informawww.iesna.org

tion content and context of a stimulus, not its absolute magnitude, which determines its relevance and, finally, its importance. This, in turn, largely determines what we look at and what we perceive.1 References 1. Lam, William M.C. Perception and Lighting as Formgivers for Architecture. McGraw-Hill. 1977. 2. Evans, Ralph M.

cess story of individuals from the Georgia Section who came together as team, and made a commitment to make things happen. This success story was the Southeastern Regional Conference in Atlanta. Sixteen people on the Conference Committee met the challenge and shaped the Conference. This is a section that only two years ago was struggling to conduct regular section meetings. Was the Conference successful? You be the judge. More than 100 people registered for the Conference and lighting products were exhibited on 22 tables. Attendees came from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas. The Conference kicked off with a keynote address by Ken Honeycutt, president of Lithonia Lighting. In his speech, Honeycutt discussed the fact that, despite the obvious importance of lighting in our lives, homes and businesses, total spending on lighting has fallen as a percentage of total construction over the last five years. He said, We can proactively change the perspective and position of lighting in the minds of our customers by relentlessly focusing on one objective: delivering superior customer value. While there may be many ways to accomplish this objective, he offered these three suggestions: 1) respecting customer needs, 2) delivering world-class products and services, and 3) elevating the professionalism of the industry. In detailing these goals, Honey-

cutt supplied the Conference with a vision and a thoughtful start. The IIDA Luncheon was held on Monday and provided the attendees with both delightful images and thoughtful ideas. Morgan Gabler, IIDA chair, presented several intriguing local IIDA entries. This was followed with commentary and an excellent set of slides by the invited speaker, Michael John Smith, a lighting consultant from Houston, TX. While discussing Visual Comfort, Smith artfully combined stunning visuals with poetic references to emphasize his techniques for achieving visual comfort. There were 10 sessions with timely topics with dynamic speakers presenting the latest information for

the attendees. Topics included Whole Building Controls, Landscape Lighting, Faade and Corporate Image Lighting, Theatrical Lighting, Lighting with LEDs, Lighting the Urban Environment, Government Activities in the Lighting Industry, Preparing for the LC Exam, Daylighting Public Spaces, and Merging Software with Hands-on Applications. Attendees were offered the opportunity to submit forms to receive CEU or LEU credits. This year the Georgia Section, under the guidance of Dr. Tahar Massadi, College of Architecture, Georgia Tech, organized its first student competition. Section Manager Jason Martin and Mary Beth Gotti of GE Lighting were instrumental in securing a generous corporate contribution that was vital to the success of this initiative.

Students from various academic institutions throughout the Southeast Region were invited to participate in this competition. A total of eight projects selected from more than 20 entries were displayed at the conference site and the same exhibit will travel to GE headquarters. The top three winners were Eric Chiarelli of the Ar t Institute of Atlanta, Preston Hite of Georgia Tech and Amanda Bauer of the University of Georgia. The target for the project was a pre-designed conceptual plan for a three-story university library with two large skylights allowing a natural infusion of light on the east and west ends of the building. The winning designs were innovative and sensitive to the integration of daylight within the space, each demonstrating a unique solution. The Conference was honored with the attendance of incoming Society President Pamela Horner. At the Presidents Banquet, Horner delivered an insightful presentation on the Societys strategic plan and the progress toward those objectives. I am proud of the Georgia Section and the volunteers who somehow found the time to put on a first-class Conference. Eleven unpaid speakers made the effort to travel to the Conference and share their professional knowledge with attendees. I would also like to thank each sponsor for its financial support and the exhibitors for their time and effort Without this support, the Conference would not have been possible.

ly, and beneficial for our environment. But Vice-President Dick Cheney feels that energy conservation is noble but ineffectual, and that we have a severe shortage of product and refining capacity. Not true, says Professor Paul Krugman of MIT: The gasoline supply and refining shortage were caused by gas guzzling SUVs. The administration wants us to generate more electricity in order to meet larger peak demands when we have enough capacity to meet average usage. Conservation has proven effective in shaving peak demand, avoiding the need for new generating plants and increased air pollution. I explained to the California Energy Commission in Sacramento last year that the rest of the nation considers California the canary in the mine. Everything that could have gone wrong has occurred there, and were all discovering what mistakes not to make. But interestingly, out of the experiences in California, were learning what measures are effective in conserving lighting energy. Municipal utilities in Seattle, Sacramento and Los Angeles have been promoting energy conservation aggressively and have avoided building new generating plants. Bob Royer, of Seattle City Light, recently remarked, These guys in the Bush administration are making it sound like conservation is for sissies, but we know from experience that conservation equals generation.

were sending the wrong message. The lighting profession has experts at the Lighting Research Center (LRC) and Lawrence Berkely Labs (LBL) and people like Jim Benya, Stan Walerczyk and Phil Soroky who know how to design green buildings that conserve energy using todays technology. Stan Waler czyk, of Sun Industries in California, will have an article in the September issue of LD+A entitled Why Should The Customer Have to Pay Twice? He consistently replaces standard grade 2800 lumen, 20,000 hour, 700 series F32T8 lamps and standard output electronic ballasts with premium grade 3000+ lumen, 24,000 hour, 800 series, higher lumen maintenance F32T8s and reduced output electronic ballasts. And, he gets more maintained illumination levels, as well. Four new premium lamps and a reduced output ballast draw 96 W vs. 114 W for the standard lamps and ballasts. A two-lamp ballast retrofit saves 10 W. Thats a 20 percent savings, including air conditioning, which is worth $10 annually, so the payback is pretty rapid, and the long-term savings increase as energy rates go up. The article contains many details on how to conserve lighting energy with lamp, ballast and fixture retrofits and replacements. My experience with bi-level lighting and occupancy sensor controlled hi-low ballasts shows a minimum savings of 30 percent in lighting energy. Daylight harvesting also has the potential for energy savings of that magnitude, especially during peak demand periods. A 30 percent savings in lighting translates to a 10 percent savings in total energy expended, which is all California needs to avoid rolling blackouts. I hate to disagree with V.P. Cheney, but utilities and clients all over the country are using energy conservation to cut peak demand and save money, and thats really the bottom line. Jack Melnyk, the chief lighting engineer for Southern California Edison is on a tear to shed peak load in his system as soon as possible in order to prevent the rolling blackouts that have plagued north-

ern California. Hes looking at CFLs to replace incandescent lamps, pulse start metal halide lamps and ballasts for all HIDs, and occupancy sensors for outdoor area lighting to curtail energy when there is no traffic. All of these measures work. The US/DOE should be offering tax incentives to encourage these conservation measures. Another frontier is the improvement of our visual tasks. Too many designers use the LPDs (Lighting Power Densities) of ANSI/ASHRAE /IESNA 90.1 to cap energy expenditures, not wishing to try to further reduce the illumination levels needed to perform specific visual tasks. There is no scientific illumination level thats best for all tasks. Dr. Peter Boyce of the LRC pointed out that illumination levels

are arrived at by consensus. It behooves us as professionals to find out what our clients really need quantitatively and qualitatively, by full scale mock-ups if necessary in order to arrive at a proper prescription. www.iesna.org

cash incentives, by government outlawing the sale of certain light sources (as was done by EPACT in 1992), or by government/industry cooperation, like the agreement to only use electronic ballasts by the year 2005. By law, someone cannot be forced to replace an inefficient lighting device with a more efficient one, because that is considered the same as the taking of property without compensation. So energy conservation has to be enhanced with incentives to rid ourselves of our lighting gas guzzlers. www.iesna.org

Id love to see us get rid of all incandescent lamps. CFLs, which use only a quarter of the energy, pay for themselves in weeks or months anywhere in the country. T12 fluorescent lamps should be replaced by T-8s with electronic ballasts, either by incentives or by outlawing the sale of T-12 lamps, in my opinion. Daylight harvesting works, and should be encouraged for existing installations. Using occupancy sensors to turn lights

off, or dim them down, when theres no one present in the space, must be the rule, not the exception. If V.P. Cheney calls, Ill certainly give him this advice. In the meantime, Im counting on you to carry this message to your clients.

well get into some of the tactical issues of site construction. Project Organization As most people in the design field (lighting design, architecture, construction, web building, etc.) know, Project Organization and Management determine the success or failure of a mission. Sure, bringing together talented developers and designers is essential to creating a quality product, but without the proper guidance, it can all expensively unravel. Here are a few points to consider when preparing to assemble your web team: 1. Review the Sites Purpose: How will your website support your business goals? 2. Determine Site Complexity: After reviewing essentials like budget, targeted user, technology requirements and limitations and site management, what level of complexity is needed? 3. Choosing Web Resources: Based on its purpose, complexity, performance expectations, budget, timing, internal resource impact, etc.; how will you create the site? 4. Construction Options: Once youve determined how you will build your site, based on the sites purpose, complexity and resource requirements, you need to get started. Site Development Development determines how a website will function. It is the sites left brain, the Mr. Spock/Jakob Nielsen component. Development includes both internal management of the site (content, data tracking, operational flexibility, etc.), as well as the creation of the user interface (navigation, content presentation, usability, etc.). The site development stage is focused on functionality, usability and will ultimately determine how well a site performs as a business support instrument. It is in the area of development where many problems arise due to poor planning, poor execution or both. Site Design Design determines how the site will look, feel and appeal to the www.iesna.org

busy illuminating skyscrapers. Douglas Leigh, a mild-mannered salesman from Alabama, was the man who single-handedly draped the Great White Way in miles of neon, color and light. Leighs melding of Function and Form spawned some amazing creations over his last 60 years. His work was truly larger-than-life as were his backdrops. Broadways monstrous smoke-ring-belching Camel sign, a three-story steaming A&P coffee pot and a shimmering 120 ft Pepsi waterfall were just a few examples of his contributions to advertising lore. Im an idea man, a concept guy, he said in 1998, while still on the job at one of Manhattans tallest structures: Donald Trumps building at 40 Wall Street. Not bad for a 90-yearold. Sure, Leigh was truly a pioneer in ad design, but his real legacy was how he scaled the summits of New Yorks skyscrapers and bathed them in dazzling lights. His lighting handiwork included the Helmsley, Citicorp and Crown Buildings and the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, but his pice

If you want to know the time of year in New York City, just look up. Breaking ground on your website Function and form are the two hemispheres that comprise a website.

DIY vs. Hired Guns

Some folks opt for the Home Depot approach and attempt to Do-It-Yourself. Even with all the software options and online resources available to the DIY crowd, this is often a risky move. A relatively inexpensive option is to shop around for a good development deal from a web hosting service. Again, you get what you pay for. While you may get a good deal on ongoing enhancement and content upgrades, a web host often lacks the basic business savvy or strategic acumen necessary to pull off the job properly. Your best bet for effectively extending your vision into cyberspace is to employ the talents of either a Web Development Firm or an Interactive Consultant. And heres the good news: With the recent dot.com meltdown of 2000-2001, there are a lot of talented interactive people out there that might be willing to work with you and your budget.

user. This is the sites right brain, the Captain Kirk/Douglas Leigh component. As the human animal is drawn to elements impacting its physical senses, sensory stimulation can trigger strong emotional and physical responses, both positive and negative. When a visitor is pushed or pulled into your website (an upcoming topic), it must appeal to a users eyes, ears and head, not assault them. A site may contain a multitude of relevant, well-organized content for a particular user type, but if the aesthetic elements and overall physical appearance are poorly designed, you are in big trouble. We have all visited poorly designed websites, usually just once. Just like a bad restaurant, you will not get another shot to make a first impression. Project Management Though having worked as a project manager for a number of years prior to joining the web development industry, I had no idea how important this discipline is to the interactive process. You can have an entire stable of super-talented developers and designers working on a web project; however, without the right person overseeing the project, it can all go to pieces in no time at all. Creating websites is like building a new brand or a new house to spec: It is a very personal, subjective experience for the stakeholders. As a result (often to the dismay of the development team), the client must be involved in most of the decisionmaking throughout the project. That means tons of approvals and revisions. Someone needs to manage all the information sharing and workflow inherently created as a result. Most of you in the Lighting Design + Application world know first-hand how challenging it is to play the role of creator-for-hire. The Project Manager is King, everyone should be nice to him. In future columns, I will discuss the importance of establishing the interactive requirements of the site (website outline); listing the content that will reside on the site (page inventory); and organizing the content or architecture of the interactive blueprints (logic diagram). www.iesna.org

The commercial landscape of New York City has evolved quite a bit since the 1930s, back when a 28-year-old salesman from Anniston, AL, hit town in a beat-up Ford with $9 in his pocket, and parlayed a soft-spoken sales ability and a knack for turning empty space into gold. Broadway, Times Square and the rest of Manhattan now pulse and glow in a sea of fiber optics, digitized vinyl printing and LED tech-

nology. And while the gadgets will continue to develop both online and off true creation will always require a keen grasp of the power and balance of both function and form. Douglas Leigh had that in spades, even if he once thought the Empire State Building made a perfect 1,550 ft glowing, 3D cigarette advertisement.

Intimate Lighting for 600

The Berkeley Repertory Theatres new 600-seat proscenium theatre, in Berkeley, CA, forms the keystone of a new arts center, which includes an existing 400-seat thrust-stage theatre, a new drama school and other performance spaces. Auerbach + Glasow collaborated with the architect in the design of the architectural lighting for the interior of the theatre and public spaces, the auditorium and lobby. Richard Osborn of Auerbach + Glasow was the architectural lighting designer for the project in collaboration with long time business associate, ELS Architects. The theatres audience chamber maintains the interactive, intimate quality of the existing 400-seat theatre. The front of the balcony is only 38 ft from the front edge of the stage, and the furthest seat in the balcony is only 58 ft from the front edge of the stage. The mezzanines furthest seat is 49 ft from stages edge. The lighting is charged with drawing viewers into the theatrical situations upon the stage, ensuring a strong interaction between audience and performers. House lights mix with the theatre lights in mounting locations and types, visibility, and flexibility. Auerbach + Associates designed a complete 100 baseT Ethernet computer network for lighting controls. This includes 18 tap locations. Each tap location allows computer-controlled lighting equipment, such as color changes or moving lights, to be integrated into the computer lighting systems. There are 13 computer-controlled relays, giving the light board operator complete control over all of the work lights in the theatre. The theatre has 564 individual dimmable circuits. Thirty of the dimmable circuits are for the architectural lighting in the lobbies. A significant effort was made in this area to design a lighting system that met performance demands and specifications and at the same time stayed within budget. The contrast of the minimal cable lighting and the massive elements of the architectural structure is dramatic. The cable system allows the placement of lights in difficult locations in a highvolume space without cluttering up the strong structure. An alternate system of running conduit to and mounting more traditional fixtures in those difficult locations would likely have cost as much or more than the cable system. The system of wire-mounted MR16s designed for the large volume spaces of the lobbies was met with some concerns that the system was overly fancy and expensive. Fortunately the architect and the theater staff supported the concept and continued to advocate for it through several rounds of criticism, Osborn said. The end result is that it stayed in the project and, I think, rightly so, because it is a totally appropriate use of this [wire-mounted MR16s] technology. John-Michael Kobes

Part of a three building complex, the Republic Center in downtown Dallas had not seen exterior light since 1978, when the original neon was removed due to maintenance challenges and energy costs. Conceptual design for a new lighting design of the buildings Rocket, a decorative structure located atop the Republic Center, began in 1998, with maintenance and energy costs a top concern. The lighting was initially to consist of automated color-changing fixtures and neon outlining, but the neon was eliminated due to cost. The challenge of bringing the structure back to life was taken by Bouyea & Associates, a Dallas based lighting firm. To better comprehend the type of fixtures needed, as well as to analyze the forms response to light, a 1/48 scale model of the Rocket was created. The model lighting consisted of MR16s, Lucifer strips and colored filters, and nine degree spots with colored lenses; all of which allowed for the model to come to life and the locations of the fixtures to be more precisely planned. Lead designer Scott Oldner explained how he had to appropriately reveal the nature of the form without washing out the depth. Conceptually, I knew immediately what I wanted to do with the lighting, Oldner said. The challenge came in deciding how many fixtures were necessary and could still fit in the owners budget. I decided the color contrast would add depth and create the definition of the form with complementary colors on adjacent planes, revealing the edges. Sequences for the color-changing fixtures were written around holidays, civic events and professional sporting events. At the top of every hour, a blast-off show starts with red and amber pulsating at the base followed by a marching up of white light to symbolize a rocket launch. Six 700 W metal halide and Irideon AR500 fixtures were placed on each side and illuminate the side panels and leg panels without illuminating the front rib. One fixture with a spread lens illuminates the lower front panel. Two 1200 W Space Cannon Focus metal-halide fixtures with three degree beam spreads graze up the tail. Two High End Cyberlights 1200 W metal halides project custom images for themes and building identity. The Space Cannon color changes happen in a minimum of two and a half seconds, whereas the Irideon AR500 can change color in less than one second. This did not affect fixture selection, but did alter some of the programming. The AR500s rarely change in less than three seconds. Therefore, they happen at once, said Oldner. I had to have the Space Cannon fixtures, because they use the 1200MSR lamp and give me a three degree beam spread, Oldner said. I particularly wanted to stay away from Xenon searchlight technology due to maintenance/cooling challenges. Maintenance issues were a concern with the light from the roof. There are two fixtures on the tail that are not maintained from the roof. They are accessible by climbing down an existing ladder structure within the tail and opening a custom cut hinged door just above the fixture. The technology for placing concert fixtures (High End Cyberlights) in exterior environments was most amazing, Oldner said. The Tempest Hurricane enclosure looks like some sleep pod that Sigourney Weaver awoke from after six months of hypersleep, in Alien. It is also equipped with temperature sensors and a powerful fan. Lamp replacement is easy and does not change the aiming on any fixture. Irideon Composer software and the Irideon Master Control Panel (MCP) were used to control the fixtures. The MCP has an astronomic timeclock, so it knows when sunset and sunrise occur in Dallas every day of the year, making the on/off operation fully automatic. This decision makes the AR500 programming a snap, but makes the Space Cannon and Cyberlight programming more difficult, said Oldner. To create a remote way to control the lighting, a phone line to the control room was installed. The phone line had to come from the basement level across the building (half a city block) to the 36th floor. Three Viking telephone interfaces were put together in one custom enclosure to allow a recall of nine different sequences. John-Michael Kobes

Luminous Lounge Lighting

Being extraordinarily unique in New York City is not to be taken lightly. The city offers every available outlet for social exploration, so city hotspots can cool off rather quickly. Original ideas eventually become common trends. As a result, successful club owners are constantly forced to come up with new ideas. Utilizing an old recycling garage in Manhattan, the owners of the XL nightclub wanted to create the best gay lounge in New York. David Ashen, principal and director of architecture of d/g*, New York, part of Desgrippes Gobe Group, created an architectural concept, which could change its environment from hour-to-hour, day-to-day or month-to-month. Leni Schwendinger, principal lighting designer of Leni Schwendinger Light Projects, LTD, headed the lighting perspectives of XL. Collaborating closely, the architect and lighting designer reviewed every material, color choice, and every lighting position and fixture choice. The way I conceived of creating such an environment was through creating an architectural concept that allowed light to paint the walls and ceilings in order to transform the space, Ashen said. Therefore, it was important to integrate Leni early in the conceptual phase of the project in order to ensure its success. As an architect, it was interesting to learn how light can transform how one experiences space, and how different surfaces, colors and textures must be considered. Principal Leni Schwendinger explained the lighting fixtures that can be programmed to match color and light intensity, with an unlimited variety of colors. High End Color Pro fixtures were implemented to provide smooth color transitions and limitless color mixing in the three-story tall Light Wall, Schwendinger said. Color Kinetics iColor Cove low-profile LED fixtures provide colored lighting outlining of the first floor banquets, and two rows of Altman MR16 Zip Strips circuited for three color mixing wash the doubleheight canopy. As guests enter through a compressed space, they are met by the kinetic, spacious environment of the XL clubs first, and main, level. Blue neon cove-lights create a River of Light in a trough down the facade, and wrap from the facade into the building through the entryway ceiling leading into the club. The ground level includes a sculpted bar as the room centerpiece. A complex system of lighting projections on a two-story light wall canopy creates mood lighting for the club. The second floor features a transition from the moodier, color-rich environment of the first floor, to a pale glowing atmosphere. The vaulted-ceiling features custom halogen pendant-fixtures by Modulighter, used to create a three-dimensional star field. This floor also features Light Projects dimensional, suspended starlight. From the second floor, patrons have a viewing screen of the light canopy, as well as the activities going on below. The architectural and theatrical lighting fixtures are controlled by an ETC Sensor architectural dimming-system with an Obsession theatrical computer-controller. Different lighting looks fade in and out as the evening progresses, changing the mood of the club, with gradually altering images and sound throughout an evening. John-Michael Kobes

Lighting professionals received awards at the annual IESNA Honors Luncheon, held on August 6, 2001, Ottawa, Canada. IESNA Medal The IESNA Medal, presented since 1944, gives deserved recognition to meritorious technical achievement, which has conspicuously furthered the professional, art of knowledge of illumination engineering. The 2001 IESNA Medal was presented to Herbert A. Odle in recognition of his seminal work in the design of optical systems for numerous industrial, roadway and commercial lighting products. His optical designs pioneered the development of the first wallpacks and sign lighting units with extensive light control. He designed many of the early refractors used for roadway lighting cobra heads, including four way refractors. He pioneered the concept of offthe-highway luminaires using his optical expertise to throw the light efficiently onto the roadway surface. This technique resulted in improved safety for drivers and roadway maintenance personnel alike. Much of this two and three-dimensional ray tracing and calculations occurred before the use of computers. He was happy to adapt to

Odle managed a team of innovative optical engineers for more than 30 years. Under his guidance and responsibility, countless creative products were developed to utilize such metrics as ESI, VCP and STV. He has transferred his optical engineering know-how with ease and without reservation. He has significantly advanced lighting theory and practice through his IESNA committee participation and has authored many papers on lighting control, delivered not only to the IESNA but also to the CIE, NEMA and the Russian and Chinese lighting communities.

The Nuckolls Fund for Lighting Education has announced the award of two grants for the year 2001, each in the amount of $20,000. The announcement was made on May 30, 2001 at the Funds annual luncheon at LIGHTFAIR INTERNATIONAL, in Las Vegas, NV. A grant to the University of Florida was awarded in support of the development of a Lighting Master Studio, an interdepartmental course for graduate students. The course will be integrated into the lighting curricula of the master programs in the School of Architecture, Department of Interior Design, and Department of Theater and Dance. The Florida grant was awarded under the Nuckolls Funds traditional grant approach in support of the expansion of existing lighting programs. Grants to existing lighting programs have been awarded annually since 1989. A second year-2001 grant was awarded to California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo under the Nuckolls Funds new program to support introductory lighting courses. Using the grant funds, Cal Poly will develop a lighting fundamentals course for third- and fourth- year architecture students. It will be offered as a required design studio with a seminar component. At present, lighting education for architecture students at the university is limited to a short segment in the environmental controls system course work, although other campuses of Cal Poly have more extensive lighting curricula. The Nuckolls Fund did not award an Edison Price Fellowship this year because no fundable proposal was submitted. The fellowship is awarded to individual educators to enable them to broaden their own understanding of architectural lighting for the ultimate benefit of their students.

The American National Standards Institutes Board of Standards Review approved E1.3-2001, Entertainment Technology Lighting Control Systems 0 to 10V Analog Control Specification, and E1.9-2001, Reporting Photometric Performance Data for Luminaires Used in Entertainment Lighting, as American National Standards. These standards will become ESTAs third and fourth American National Standards to be published. ANSI E1.3-2001 is a standard for using DC voltages from zero to 10V to control lighting devices. The standards consensus-based specifications for the electrical characteristics of the analog signal, transmitters and receivers help simply the specification, design and supply of analog control equipment. ANSI E1.9-2001 specifies how the output of a stage or studio luminaire should be reported so that people can have a fair and detailed representation of an instrument on paper. Particular emphasis is placed on reporting how the intensity of illumination varies across an illuminated area, rather than simply how bright the area is in the middle and how wide the area is. The standard is designed to work equally well for spotlights, near-field instruments and cyc-lighting units.

Allied Organizations

The Lithonia Lighting Group, the worlds largest manufacturer of lighting fixtures, and Musco Lighting, have announced the formation of a national marketing alliance. Through the alliance, the companies will cooperate on certain projects to jointly offer a package including lighting products, controls and installation services from both companies. The Musco sales force will continue its direct selling efforts in its primary markets, while working exclusively with the Lithonia Lighting agency force to extend market access for the Musco product line. The alliance was formed after a successful 18-month pilot program in several markets demonstrated the viability of the concept.

Trial basis
As the existing 400 W HPS lighting approached its time for group re-lamping, the company knew it was not only time for new lamps, it was also time for new technology. Charged with specifying the plants new lighting, Staber Dearth, Tower Automotives facilities engineer,
When it came time for the group re-lamping of Tower Automotives 400 W HPS lighting, the company initially commissioned a trial installation with 1000 W probe start metal halide lamps in enclosed

set forth several important criteria. He wanted the same footcandles and amount of energy consumed as the HPS system. He wanted a light source that better resembled natural sunlight. And, he knew a fast restrike time was crucial to his operations. Dearth knew that metal halide was the clear choice for the facility but was not sure which was best, the industrys traditional technology or newer pulse start lighting. He turned to French Gerleman, a lighting distributor in Maryland Heights, MO. The agency suggested installing lighting mock-ups to determine which technology and lamp wattages would be best for the plant. A trial installation was conducted using 1000 W probe start metal halide lamps in enclosed luminaires. These lamps have higher light output and were spaced further apart than the 400 W HPS lamps. Although the facility was certainly much brighter, it was also filled with many shadows created by the lights reflection off the heavy equipment in the plant. The distributor also invited the St. Louis Lighting Group to bid on the project and do some trial installations. Len Wiggins, a lighting representative, suggested doing a one-for-one replacement of the HPS systems using Ventures Uni-Form pulse start metal halide lamps and ballasts. The 450 W lamps ran on Venture CWA ballasts, high efficiency units designed to enhance the performance of the lamps. They were used in conjunction with Lithonias prismatic highbay luminaires, eliminating shadows and making the heavy machinery areas appear significantly brighter. Uni-Form 250 W lamps were used with lowbay luminaires for another area of the facility. Tower preferred Ventures mock-up over the 1000 W probe start alternative. The deciding factor was when Dearth discovered that these pulse start lamps would restrike 60 percent faster than traditional metal halide technology. This is made possible by using Ventures patented formed body arc tube with half the quartz mass and higher fill pressure, combined with igniter starting for peak brightness in less time. Compared to the HPS lighting, the 450 W Uni-Form lamps gave us the same light levels, lumens and power consumption,

The ensuing years, however, not only saw much taller buildings erected, but as the world moved closer to the Millennium the actual Century 21 the structure that once seemed futuristic now seemed outdated. The Space Needle Corporation decided the best way to commemorate the 21st century was to revitalize and enhance the landmark. Interestingly, the family of original builder

A new identity, honoring the Space Needles history and celebrating its future, is created through architectural lighting of Seattles icon. Intimate and distance viewing both are considered in the design. Because no other tall structures are within a wide radius, the Space Needle is viewed from countless vistas and angles. A beacon from afar, it attracts visitors to this majestic landmark for the spectacle of up-close enjoyment, including a spellbinding elevator trip and the awaiting panoramic view. The new ground-level Plaza Building appears to radiate light which uplights the legs at their base. Fixtures integrated into the architecture or mounted on matching poles completely uplight the legs, all the way up to the 600 ft level in white light. The Plaza Buildings lightweight appearance, also uplighted in white, gracefully wraps the legs, retail spaces and elevator core. The Top House is the main attraction and shoulders the majority of the focus. The Radial Veins, underneath the Top House, are highlighted from the Plaza Building and 200 ft level. Outline lighting mounted on the outside of the golden Halo Ring has been removed in lieu of feature lighting from below to better accentuate the architecture. The Halo Ring is further defined by the lighting of the parapet wall immediately in back, providing a silhouette of the structure. This renders a graceful

It was important that no light trespass enter these massive view windows or those of the revolving restaurant below. All uplighting was deeply shielded (some shields were 36 in. long), and trained at specific targets. The precise optical control provided by the BEGA spotlights was crucial to the success of this project. When my firm first received the lighting design commission for the Needle, the roof was washed in stark green light. The colored gels simply were removed and new HO lamps installed after fixture maintenance and cleaning. Named the Legacy Light, the Space Needle is crowned with three 7000 W sky beams directed straight up. The University of Washington Astronomy Department, International Dark Sky Association and FAA all were consulted. These are lighted only for National Holidays and five special celebrations per year. Notably, these types of fixtures are expensive and costly to run and maintain. They are extremely powerful, and in a night sky full of humidity, they are strikingly dramatic. All across Seattle, joy filled the air when the new lighting system officially was switched on January 1, 2000 12:01 a.m. Now that Century 21 truly had arrived, the symbol of Seattle once again seemed contemporary and vital.

Nine fixtures, fortunately, could be mounted at the 200 ft connecting ring level, thus saving energy. The legs configuration prohibited mounting all the Halo Ring lights at the 200 ft level.

The SMED Headquarters facility comprises three main areas: office, manufacturing plant and cafeteria. The office doubles as a showroom, requiring an inviting entry to a modern upscale facility.

MED International is a manufacturer of systems furniture, flexible wall systems and raised access flooring with sales throughout the world marketplace. Sustained growth in the company had resulted in manufacturing, sales and administration occupying several different buildings in an industrial park, spread over a wide area. SMED decided to construct a new facility to house their corporate headquarters, which would include the entire companys operations under a single roof, with flexibility to expand in the future as market conditions dictated. The result of this initiative was the completion of a single 750,000 sq ft facility, composed of three distinct architectural and functional components: Manufacturing plant Corporate headquarters and office Cafeteria and fitness facility, which included the main entrance of the facility The design process was distinct for each of the above three building components, as were the solutions that were utilized, as each part was unique in its function. The design and construction challenges included a compressed fast-track schedule as well as a vast amount of equipment revisions requiring lighting layout modifications.

It was decided to suspend long lengths of c-channel from the ceiling to which the light fixtures could be simply attached to create straight and level uniform rows of fixtures. In order to facilitate flexibility of lighting control, a lowvoltage lighting control system was designed and installed. The system consists of relays controlling each lighting circuit and low-voltage switches selectively located throughout the facility. The low-voltage switches are programmable and thus are able to be re-configured to control area lighting within the plant as particular areas expand or decrease in size. In addition, the low-voltage lighting control system is itself controlled by an overall building Integrated Control System (ICS). The ICS controls all building functions including lighting, mechanical equipment, security, CCTV and fire alarm. , office components.

better color temperature compared to the metal-halide high-bay fixture option, the fluorescent option was chosen. Although the fluorescent option had a higher capital cost, the energy savings provided for a three-to-four year simple payback. Detail design of the fluorescent option resulted in the requirement of 33 4 ft fluorescent fixtures (three rows of 11 fixtures) per 50x50 ft bay, mounted at 21 ft above finished floor. This design was calculated to result in an average light level of 500 lx. During construction, it was realized that there were going to be a great deal of interference problems between the lighting fixtures and ductwork, piping, paint booth exhaust vents, and miscellaneous other obstructions. The result was that the lighting fixture mounting height was reduced to 18 ft in order to avoid nearly all conflicts with mechanical equipment and ductwork. Resulting illumination levels in the plant are 600 lx, with a uniformity of 1.2:1 max/min and electrical intensity averages 0.93 W/sq ft using 3000K T8 lamps. Loading dock illumination was designed for two-thirds the light level of the plant using two rows of fixtures per bay rather than three. Resultant illumination is 400 lx with a 1.5:1 uniformity.

Corporate office
SMED wanted to demonstrate to its potential clients that its furniture systems and related products were superbly positioned for the changing face of todays modern office. The entire office was designed to be as modular and flexible as possible. In addition, it was desired to have a pleasant, glare-free environment. Consequently, indirect fixtures were selected for the office component of the facility. Some fixtures were mounted on the furniture while others were suspended from the ceiling structure. The furniture mounted fixtures are mobile along with the furniture unit. The lighting system delivers 500 lx at the desktop, with 1.3:1 max/min uniformity. Lighting control in the office area also uses low-voltage controls. However rather than low-voltage switches, occupancy sensors in the ceiling are utilized to control lighting within sections of the office floor-plats. Occupancy sensors also control lighting within the washrooms both in the office

(bottom) Average illumination is 600 lx, with excellent 1.2:1 max/min uniformity, minimal glare and energy consumption of 0.85 W/sq ft.

CCTV camera technology has made tremendous advancements in recent years, a certain minimum illumination is desirable, as is good uniformity, in order for optimum recognition of suspicious activities during nighttime conditions. Since the plant operates multiple shifts, workers are entering and leaving the facility throughout the day and night. Coupled with the requirements for CCTV surveillance, satisfactory illumination and uniformity levels were desired to provide staff with a feeling of security as they walk to or from their vehicle. The system selected to light the 750 stall parking area was 400 W metal halide fixtures, mounted on 25 ft steel poles. Resulting illumination levels were 35 lx, with an average-to-minimum uniformity of approximately 3.5:1.

It is important to evaluate different options for industrial projects, and select solutions that meet the clients needs and utilize the latest product developments. At the time of design, it was originally assumed that metal halide high-bay fixtures would be utilized, but ultimately were not, owing to the higher efficiency of T8s. In 2001, the best solution may indeed revert to metal halide, owing to the development of electronic pulse start metal halide ballasts, and improvements in metal halide lamp technology.

ment: Health and Safety, Textile Product Performance. Regarding textile and illumination interaction, several issues are addressed in the text. Fading, due to sunlight and artificial light sources, can degrade both the performance and the appearance of some textiles. The challenge of creating textiles with colorfastness to ultraviolet illumination is explained on a molecular level. The standard testing methodologies to evaluate the colorfastness of fabrics are presented. New trends in light-resistant finishes are explored. Light-resistant finishes protect fabrics from sunlight and may perhaps protect humans also. The relationship between skin cancer and ultraviolet radiation is well known. The exposure of skin to the sun can be mitigated by the careful selection of an appropriate fabric type, fiber type or finish application to a garment. Finishes that are light resistant are also available for interior or exterior textiles (carpet, upholstery, awnings). Ultraviolet screening for automotive applications is also examined. To ensure color fastness, ultraviolet stabilizers may also be employed. Dyeing methods and dye types may also influence color fastness. Performance comparisons are presented. Another textile finish which may impart health and safety benefits in conjunction with lighting is called light-reflectant. These finishes provide safety for after-dark activities. They may be applied to apparel or to interior or architectural textiles. Fluorescent whiteners or optical brightener finishes are also discussed. These absorb light in the visible wavelength range and reemit it in the ultraviolet range. As a result, fabrics treated with brighteners look bluer. Again, the interplay of the art and the science of illumination and textiles is explored. Understanding Textiles is very comprehensive and will meet the basic needs of most textile and/or interior design instructors and students. The information regarding the interaction of light and textiles makes up but a small part of this publication, but their interdependence is woven throughout the books many chapters. This text will be appreciated by those interested in color and light studies. www.iesna.org

Based on that study, an intriguing set of recommendations for preventing and correcting real-life light trespass problem situations are presented. Key to the memorandum is its recommendation of three areas to consider in reducing obtrusive light. These include: classifiying areas by type of environmental zone; setting curfews for the turning off of certain types of lights; and stipulating maximum footcandle (lux) levels. Design professionals, local officials and homeowners who are struggling with light trespass problems may look to this memorandum as a guide. It is further suggested that this manuals recommendations may serve as the basis for those attempting to develop ordinances to reduce obtrusive light. This publication is highly recommended for all those concerned about light trespass.

Max Keller, a prominent international lighting designer, shares his passion and extensive knowledge about all facets of stage lighting in this book. An extensive section develops background understanding of light and color from multiple perspectives including functional, descriptive, theoretical, psychological, and artistic. Several sections cover technical equipment including lamps, optics, color plates and gels, fixtures, electrical and accessories, projection, and control consoles. Another portion of the book focuses on the many technical and artistic facets of developing stage lighting for various theatrical venues and genres. An extensive glossary and a selected bibliography are also included. Every topic in the book is richly illustrated. There are more than 500 illustrations and diagrams with 270 of these in color, including numerous full or double page spreads. From the basic theories of color and light to detailed views of lamps and fixtures, from lighting plots to lighting angles, there is a crispness and level of detail in the pictures and diagrams. This makes even the most familiar element such as a candle flame take on new meaning and poetic qualities. Stage photographs, included throughout the book, tie each topic to theatre production and give aesthetic relevance to technical details. These stage photographs, many of productions with lighting design by Keller, highlight the technical creativity and artistic possibilities of lighting design in the theatre. Woven throughout the book and setting the context for contemporary approaches are historical highlights. This includes a brief history of the theatre, color theory development, use of light in painting, philosophical approaches to color, development of stage lighting. Found in several places are thought-provoking quotes or essays by other authors, including Herbert Kapplmller and Manfred Wagner. Keller also notes changes that may influence and affect the future of theatre lighting design. The original German text has been translated into English by Michael Robinson. English, rather www.iesna.org

than American, terms are used such as lantern for fixture or draughting for drafting. Some illustrations have little explanatory accompanying them forcing one to hunt through the text for the illustration number to get an explanation. At other times, the illustrations are not referenced in the text. These are minor points, but at times provide a level of ambiguity for the reader. The discussion of topics range from fundamental background to advanced details, from functional basics to philosophical expressionism, and from general lighting technology to specialized design development. As a result the book, or at least major portions of it, will be useful reading for a broad audience including students of design and theatre, theatre and event lighting designers, and technicians, as well as architectural lighting designers. Creating Light Light Creations is a chapter ever yone involved with lighting should read to appreciate the holistic view of the technical and aesthetic potential of lighting design assumed by the author. Dorothy L. Fowles, Ph.D. is a professor at Iowa State University and has been teaching architectural lighting for 10 years including a collaborative theatre and architectural advanced lighting course. Several lighting and interior design projects have received international award recognition. Numerous research presentations include recent ones on lighting in Korea and at the USITT conference.
