Incorporating LEDs Without Getting Burned
NeoCon 2011 at The Merchandise Mart, Chicago from June 13 - 15
Get a crash course on LED products and arm yourself with knowledge. As LED technology changes from week to week, you’ll be able to ask reps and manufacturers the right questions to keep yourself up to speed. Discuss lighting issues including binning, heat syncs, color temperature, color shift, controls, testing, and sustainability. Get a basic understanding of the components of a LED system including control options, and then learn to recognize opportunities for LED lighting in your own projects. Also, make sure you know how to discern when LED lighting is right and when other traditional lighting is appropriate for your architectural or sustainable goals.

Herman Miller LA Showroom Wins Source Award
2010 Cooper Lighting Source Awards Competition Honors the Herman Miller Showroom in Los Angles, CA
Lighting Design Alliance Awarded Honorable Mention Sustainability Award in the Commercial Category
When Herman Miller sought a flagship showroom in Los Angeles, a former warehouse caught the company’s attention. With the help of the company’s design and construction team, this 28,000-square-foot renovation became the first LEED Commercial Interiors Platinum project in Los Angeles. Because Herman Miller’s products are used in many environments, the initial design directive was that the space should be a clean, modern environment with an incandescent, “residential” feel. In addition, it was to be implemented as a low-cost, energy-efficient system. The showroom itself is divided into many different vignettes, including offices with modular workstations, classrooms, meeting rooms, and residential environments. Lighting is the unifying element.
The building’s energy performance was a key factor in obtaining the highest level of LEED certification. The lighting system incorporates high-efficacy fixtures, infrared occupancy sensors, and daylight harvesting. After completing a lengthy commissioning process, the facility operates at 0.69 watts per square foot, which performs 41 percent better than the ASHRAE minimum requirements.

LDA at GlobalShop 2011 - Retail and LED Lighting : Promise and Problems
LED lighting is everywhere; and retailers and retail designers are getting LED pitches every day. Does LED lighting make sense?
Archit Jain, Principal at Lighting Design Alliance, presented on this topic at GlobalShop 2011 in Las Vegas on 30 March 2011
Cutting through the hype and jargon of LED technology can be exhausting and confusing. This presentation brings designers to the inner world of LEDs to address what are the true applications in retail lighting and how to evaluate the plethora of LED product offerings. The seminar discusses the benefits and shortcomings of this ever-expanding technology and provides distinct parameters to evaluate and compare LED products. What is the role and what are the limitations of controls with LEDs? What color are they...really? How do LEDs fit in my retail environment—should I be using them? What is the future? These questions and many more are discussed with non-brand-specific product comparisons with sample "equivalent LEDs," real-world examples of price and lifecycle cost, discussion of different LED track, recessed, signage and case lighting with the important points to know when working with them.
