Light+Building exhibits reveal the latest in lighting and controls

. The Light + Building trade fair is scheduled for March 30 through April 4, 2014 in Frankfurt, Germany The theme for the year is "Explore technology for life -. The best energy is the energy that is not consumed" Indeed, energy efficiency is a prevalent requirement in the building industry and lighting is one of the largest consumers of energy in finished commercial spaces. Sub-themes for the mega event include intelligent sustainability, smart powered buildings, and people and light.
Upwards of 2500 exhibitors will show their latest wares at Light + Building. Some of the stands will feel like the size of a small village. And making your way around the halls will feel more like rush hour in New York City than a visit to a trade show. But the exhibit will reveal the very latest in lighting technology.
Given the efficiency theme, you can assume that LED Panel light 18w will be almost universal in the lighting exhibits. But solid-state lighting (SSL) alone will not deliver the savings needed by a growing world. Expect that the exhibitors will show the very latest in control technologies that can truly maximize the energy savings in lighting systems. Controls and LEDs will also deliver better lighting. The advantages range from better focused light and the right CCT for optimum worker productivity to tunable colors and white color temperatures to increase our wellbeing . Also expect the dramatic as art and light meet. The products featured in the following pages deliver a preview of what can be expected at Messe Frankfurt.

FormLa looks like art, but Cini & Nils says that the configurable ceiling version of the product is designed to contribute to human wellbeing. The health benefits come from configurable forms that can span an entire ceiling, creating a relaxed environment with diffused indirect light. The company realized the product using individual geometric elements with the LED lighting installed as flexible strips that enable the artistic shapes.

Targeting office lighting, the Zumtobel Sequence linear product family can be pendant or surface mounted and is designed with an LED lighting distribution that the company says will empower employees' productivity. Zumtobel offers the products in 1.2m and 2.1m versions with the light provided by rectangular modular LED arrays. Optics applied to each 6 × 3 array determine the light-distribution characteristics. Generally the outer modules on either end of a fixture are used to provide diffuse indirect-like ambient light while the inner modules deliver direct task light. The fixture also includes a DALI (digital addressable lighting interface) capable driver.

Designed to host the company's AR111 LED Panel light 36w, the square housing includes a double-gimbal mechanical design that can enable downlight installations with the adjustments possible on two axes. The 190 × 190 × 130-mm housing is built from steel with aluminum trim and weighs 470g. GlacialLight said the housing is designed for use in hotel, restaurant, and residential applications, and is designed to replace halogen lighting. The Vega Series AR111 LED lamps come in a variety of beam patterns and GlacialLight designed the housing for those bulbs, although the housing could be used with most any AR111 retrofit lamp.

Cree is using its Light + Building presence to launch the Cree Edge High Output (HO) LED outdoor luminaire family to the European market. The 5000K CCT products are available with CRI as high as 90 and in outputs to 75,000 lm. The product was announced in North America last October and has been installed in color-critical applications such as auto dealer lots. The Cree lighting products will share the exhibit area with LED and other enabling technologies. In particular, Cree will feature its LMH2 SSL module with Sunset Dimming.
