Prof. Konstantinos (Kosta) Papamichael

Co-DirectorCalifornia Lighting Technology Center, UC Davis

“The difficulty with writing about dramatic change in the midst of it occurring is that the very drama of the effects unleashed by the change will be mistaken for what the future will become.”

(Spreckelmeyer, 1999, p. 262)

At a conference recently, I heard a speaker say that when all the electric lighting is solid-state and controllable, energy efficiency takes care of itself and the designer can focus on the effects of the light on the occupants. This is a vision of a smart, sustainable lighting future. When all products compete on a level field in energy consumption terms, what will differentiate between them are human factors issues: usability, maintainability, and their fit to the needs of the people in that specific space…and price. Smart companies invest in the R&D to identify the effects of the light on people and to develop innovative products to deliver the right light in beautiful ways; smart buyers are willing to pay more today for these better results tomorrow and tomorrow. The smart ones heed the evidence that flicker can adversely affect viewers; that colour fidelity matters; that providing variations in light spectrum and intensity can contribute to improved well-being; that high-quality lighting solutions will integrate daylight and electric light. Others are not persuaded of these benefits, and choose based on price; they might save energy (or meet code minima), but theirs are not smart, sustainable solutions. This presentation will challenge the audience to think about how, in the excitement of today’s solid-state lighting revolution, we can ensure that it becomes tomorrow’s smart and sustainable reality.

ABSTRACTS & BIOS12:00-12:30LED Standard Test Methods

Rui Li, Ph.D.

Product Engineer,Viscor Inc.

13:30-14:00New Frontiers in LED Lighting – Today and in the Coming Decade

Eric Haugaard

Director of Product TechnologyCREE

The fast evolving LED technology and large variety of LED lighting products has posed challenges for creating standard test methods. Robust test standards are needed to measure parameters that can be compared between products. On the other hand, performance of LED packages, modules, lamps and luminaires may be evaluated separately due to their vastly different sizes, thermal environment and applications. While LED lighting technology is now mature, a system of test standards has emerged and continues to improve. In this talk, an overall picture of test standards adopted in North America will be given, with special focus on the latest development.

Rui Li received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at Boston University. His research interest includes semiconductor quantum dots and rare earth materials for LED, laser and photovoltaic devices. Rui Li has strong technical background in photometry and energy efficient performance standards of LED lighting products. He is a member of CIE TC2-71: Standard on Test Methods for LED Lamps, Luminaires and Modules and CSA technical committee c419 on performance of lighting equipment. As product engineer at Viscor Inc., Rui Li also has rich experience in performance and safety certification process of LED lighting products.

LED lighting adoption has accelerated rapidly in the past several years, however overall conversion is still less than 1% of the total installed base. Growth has been slowed by many factors including market inertia, risk aversion, and because the economic justification was not there for many applications.

This discussion will demonstrate how simple math, science and history prove that incumbent technologies should no longer be used in the majority of applications. Real-world application case studies of LED lighting installations will show how the technology is being rapidly adopted in categories that were once considered impossible to justify for LED lighting. These applications demonstrate astonishing economic and human advantages for a large gamut of applications ranging from 1000W HID and higher applications, through simple A-lamp replacements.

Most the adoption that is occurring today is a one to one replacement of incumbent technology. Although this approach is the quickest and easiest to implement, it may not realize the full potential of what LED Lighting can accomplish. The final portion of the discussion is an exploration of what the future may hold for LED lighting if we challenge the industry to rethink the value and function of lighting and find new ways to deliver better lighting, along with other improvements to the environments they are a part of. Can we change the way buildings are designed and built and decrease overall construction costs while improving the overall efficiency and function of the building? Can outdoor LED solutions provide more than just lighting as a service? What else is possible by 2020 if we challenge existing paradigms?

Eric Haugaard is the Director of Product Technology for Cree Lighting.

in Industrial LED Modules

Prof. Oliver Trescases

ProfessorUniversity of Toronto

Organic LEDs have developed over the last two decades from a mere lab curiosity to successful commercial products. OLED displays are making strong inroads, particularly in mobile electronic devices. The last couple of years large screen OLED televisions have hit the market with rave reviews. A handful of industry leaders have started selling sample OLED lighting products. Lighting designers have come up with aesthetically stunning lighting concepts. If these initial designs are indicative, we can anticipate hitherto unimaginable form factors such as curved luminaire, flexible lighting and hybrid devices that can double up as transparent windows in daytime.

But are we there yet? This talk will approach OLEDs from the point of view of a lighting manufacturer. Some of the basic operating principles of OLED will be reviewed followed by various device architectures. OLED sample products currently available will be examined to evaluate the developing trend. A few concept OLED lighting products and projects will be examined. Some of the device aspects including lumen uniformity, angular variation of colour quality, etc will be discussed. Finally, emerging standards for OLED lighting products will be reviewed.

Dr. Venkat Venkataramanan is the Director, Scientific Operations of the Impact Centre at the University of Toronto and the Director of Smart Sustainable Lighting Network (SSLNet). He heads the photometry and Solid State Lighting labs and is one of the lead investigators in the entrepreneurship education program at the Impact Centre. He is also the founder and Chief Technology Officer of Lumentra Inc that develops nanomaterial solutions for LED applications and NVLAP/ISO 17025 accredited services to LED industry. He is the president of Canadian National Advisory Committee member of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) and a Technical Committee member of various IES, CIE, UL and ISO standards related to lighting. He is also strongly interested in science outreach and has co-hosted science talk shows in radio and television for about 4 years.

Solid-state lighting using LEDs provides increased mean-time-before-failure and higher efficacy compared to traditional fluorescent, HID and incandescent lamps. The distributed nature of lighting modules in commercial and industrial environments makes them ideally suited to act as sensor nodes, connected in a mesh network, within smart buildings. The Smart Lighting Modules can be equipped with a communication transceiver and a wide variety of sensors to locally detect temperature, power consumption, ambient light, occupancy, noise, motion, humidity and smoke. This talk will address two topics; (1) advanced driver schemes to extend LED lifetime through active thermal management and redundancy and (2) integrating the power conversion and communications functions in high-power LED modules using Visible Light Communication (VLC).

Supporting the development of solid-state lighting standards - including minimum performance, communication and safety standards, methods of measurement, voluntary specifications, and related technical memoranda - may appear to some as financial liabilities providing little benefit. At times, the costs associated with developing standards may appear to outweigh the perceived benefits derived from these efforts. However, make no mistake – SSL standards are valuable assets benefitting all lighting market actors including end users, enabling ever-accelerating adoption of LED technology.

Associated with more than half a billion dollars in annual financial incentives for lighting products, programs like ENERGY STAR® and the DesignLights Consortium® normally receive the credit for creating standards-related cash flow. However, as this presentation will explore, it is the industry standards referenced by those programs – existing and forthcoming – that are creating enormous value for the industry. With a unique perspective from the voluntary program / regulatory side of the industry, the presenter will make a case for further investment and active participation in SSL standards development and maintenance.

As the Regional Marketing Manager for Philips Lumileds Lighting Mr. Stalker is responsible for working directly with fixture manufacturers, lighting designers and other market influencers to support the adoption of Solid State Lighting technologies. He has been working in the LED lighting industry for over ten years. Prior to joining Philips he worked in a variety of sales, marketing and technical roles with LED and lighting companies such as Luminus Devices, OSRAM and Color Kinetics. He has been directly involved across the lighting value chain from working on new LED component solutions; to partnering with fixture manufacturers to bring LED-based lighting solutions into the market; to supporting LED lighting designs and installations worldwide.

The presentation will cover application of lighting controls for LED, along with latest trends in Energy Management. Topics will include sensing, switching, dimming, daylight harvesting, and measurement and verification. Energy Code requirements that involve controls will also be reviewed.

Paul Sherbo has been in the Lighting Controls industry for 33 years, and has worked extensively in international markets for 18 years. Currently he is the Director of International Business Development for Leviton Manufacturing’s Lighting Management Systems Division. His lighting controls background began in the theatrical industry with Colortran, Inc. formerly of Burbank, California where he worked for 18 years before joining Leviton. He holds a master’s degree in Theatre Arts from the University of Missouri – Kansas City, in the USA. Paul’s knowledge of theatre lighting was a natural lead-in to architectural lighting controls and energy management where he has extensive experience with daylight harvesting systems and whole building solutions for lighting controls.

ABSTRACTS & BIOS11:15-12:00Performance Testing : Strategies for Faster and Economic Routes to DLC Certification

Krishnan (Hari) Harikumar, Ph.D.

Senior Research Scientist, Lumentra Inc

The DesignLights Consortium® (DLC) is a voluntary certification initiative for LED technology requiring lighting products to comply with minimum performance standards for light distribution, efficacy, color, and longevity. DLC listing is a great marketing tool, as products undergo rigorous testing to qualify and purchasers are assured of quality. When a lighting product is tested and accepted to the DLC Qualified Products List, financial incentives may be provided by Local, State, and/or Federal Agencies. There are several tests required for a product to get ready for DLC submission. Products can be submitted individually or as a family. Family applications allow the manufacturer to save time and money by reducing the total number tests required to qualify products expected to have similar performance. Despite this advantage, complications can arise when products are grouped together for family submission. The challenge for the manufacturer is to understand the logic behind the family grouping, which can often be a tricky and time-consuming process. This talk will highlight the necessary planning and steps a manufacturer should take to decide which tests need to be done, leading to faster and more cost-effective submission and DLC approval for their products. Case examples will be provided to highlight the rationale behind various grouping strategies.

Dr. Krishnan (Hari) Harikumar is a Senior Research Scientist at Lumentra. Currently he conducts Photometric measurements for LED lighting systems and also provides technical consulting and advisory services to lighting certification program applications (Energy Star, DesignLights Consortium and Lighting Facts). He conducts and coordinates Research and Development activities mainly in the field of nano-phosphors for LED lighting applications in collaboration with Lumentra’s academic/industrial partners.

16:45 - 17:00 Discussion

This workshop will discuss the technical characteristics, certification programs, and utility incentives of LED lighting products to help end users with their product selection.

From end users’ point of view, there are two ways to evaluate the performance of LED lighting products. One way is to assess performance indicators such as total luminous flux, luminous efficacy, ies file, and lifetime, which require the end user to have substantial technical knowledge. LED lighting products can also be assessed through a certification program such as Energy Star®, DesignLights Consortium® (DLC) Qualified Products List, and Lighting Facts®.

This workshop will explain major technical characteristics for LED lighting products and how they are measured in accordance with industrial standards. Typical photometric reports for indoor and outdoor applications will be explained. The technical performance indicators underlying certification programs will also be discussed to help end users choose the best products for their specific performance needs, and also to obtain maximum incentives.

SaveONenergyOM incentives are available in Ontario for energy efficient LED lighting used in new construction and retrofit projects to help shorten payback periods and reduce the total cost of ownership. Building owners, long-term tenants or whoever has the authority to install the eligible measure are eligible for the incentives. We will discuss the general application process with specific examples of case studies in detail.

Technical reports on lighting products have grown highly complex over the past few years. With the advent of solid state lighting and the complexities associated with them, there are new product testing standards emerging very frequently. End users of lighting are often lead to baffling array of technical terms and reports. This talk will elucidate how to interpret key photometric test reports such as LM-79, and help digest vital information easily.

Charles worked in photometrics at Lighting Sceinces Canada (LSC) for nearly 25 years. This included operating the main data acquisition machine (the rotating mirror gonio-photometer) and learning a myriad of things related to the visual optic field, including operation, construction, programming, and analysis of the data from a Spectrometer. Charles is also familiar with IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) practices and standards, including the newest ones covering LED technology (LM-79-2008 and LM-80-2008). He has used AutoCAD to make machine part drawings, descriptive drawings of the luminaires I have tested for reports, and with in-house software, analysis and design of reflective and refractive optical systems for luminaire design.

Charles oversees day to day testing of products in the laboratory and develops software for data analysis.

Lighting designer and educator Gerry Cornwell will review some of the metrics applied to light sources and review the challenges facing designers and specifiers. Applications in office and roadway lighting applications will be demonstrated.

Gerry Cornwell, LC, is one of the leading lighting designers in Canada, with over 30 years experience as an award-winning independent designer with projects in the museum, art gallery, commercial, institutional and residential markets. He has been an independent consultant and lighting educator since 1981, with projects across Canada and in the United States. Gerry Cornwell is Academic Coordinator for the only university level Lighting Design Certificate program in Canada, at Ryerson University. He conducts lighting education programs for the Toronto Section, IESNA, and for international clients.

As an end-user of lighting products, it’s pretty easy to get lost in a sea of numbers. Focusing only on one-dimensional metrics like total luminous flux or luminous efficacy can be an adequate short-cut to understanding how different products perform, but understanding the many other photometric quantities that describe lighting products can be extremely beneficial to finding the right light for your application. An overall good design should take photometric distribution, colour quality, long term lumen and colour maintenance, dimming capability and flicker, into consideration. This talk will outline the various metrics used in photometry and highlight why they are important to lighting design.

Nathan Dyck is a Research Engineer at Lumentra Inc specializing in photometric, electrical and thermal measurement of lighting products. Nathan holds a Master’s degree in Materials Engineering from McGill University and a Bachelor’s in Nanotechnology Engineering from University of Waterloo. He has several years of experience working with optical and photonic devices ranging from biosensors to solar cells. His Master’s thesis focused on upconversion phosphors using the same class of materials that enable conversion of blue LED light to broadband white light seen in most LED lighting products on the market today. When he isn’t testing the latest and greatest in LED technology, he enjoys teaming up with friends on the soccer pitch and basketball court. He is also known for making excellent, highly intelligent puns.

We will discuss current and future programs that incent retrofits to LED products. We will also look at the criteria that utilities looks for in LED’s and why.

In proclaiming an International Year focusing on the topic of light science and its applications, the United Nations has recognized the importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies promote sustainable development and provide solutions to global challenges in energy, education, agriculture and health. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and is an imperative cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century. It has revolutionized medicine, opened up international communication via the Internet, and continues to be central to linking cultural, economic and political aspects of the global society.

Throughout this year we will be planning exciting events, talks, outreach programs and competition for youth. As practitioners of light-based technologies, We look forward to your active participation in making this a truly successful year. Keep watching the SSLNet website (http://sslnet.ca) for further announcements.
