The guidelines apply to any business that produces, disposes of, carries or receives hazardous wastes. This includes wastes going to storage, treatment, recycling or disposal. It is oen the case that larger businesses have plans in place to responsibly and safely recycle their hazardous ligh0ng waste. However, in spite of this legal requirement, some companies, par0cularly those with smaller quan00es of waste lamps, some0mes out this law. Incorrect handling and disposal of waste lamps, apart from being illegal, can expose employees to hazardous waste like mercury. The risk is such that if convicted of not complying with the regula0ons, employers could face a ne of up to £5,000 and/or two years in prison. In recent years it has become much easier for businesses to recycle their waste lamps, thanks to Recolight, the leading WEEE compliance scheme for the ligh0ng industry, which now has 2,433 commercial collec0on points. The largest UK-wide collec0on point network provides members and their customers with access to free recycling. There is now also a postcode-searching func0on on the scheme’s website which enables users to nd their nearest collec0on point which is never more than twenty miles away and therefore allows for easy access to suitable recycling facili0es for all ligh0ng waste. www.elp.uk.com The dangers of improper disposal of hazardous waste Sponsored by RECYCLINGROUNDUP HARVARD PRESENTED WITH QUEEN’S AWARD BY DUKE OF GLOUCESTER DOUBLE AWARD WIN FOR CHELSOM On 18th September 2014 Harvard Engineering were presented with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise, within the Interna0onal Trade category, by His Royal Highness Prince Richard, The Duke of Gloucester.

Lighting controls can be used to dim, position or even switch off unnecessary or unused lighting. Recent advances in technology has meant lighting controls are getting more sophisticated and managing lighting is becoming simpler and more effective. Alec Fielding, Key Account Manager at Tridonic gives an overview of lighting controls “A lighting control system is an intelligent lighting solution that can incorporate many different input and output systems that relate to lighting control when using one multiple central computing devices. Lighting controls are used in both indoor and outdoor applications for domestic, industrial, retail, commercial and health care. The purpose of lighting control is to ensure that the right amount of light is delivered from the luminaire in the right place at the right time. Lighting control systems are installed to maximise energy savings from the lighting system. Different percentages of energy savings can be made when using different control methods which are more commonly referred to as smart lighting installations.” Many sectors are under pressure to reduce energy costs and lighting control offers an easy way to manage usage and costs. DANLERS have recently designed an innovative new product called the ControlZAPP, a ground-breaking link between stand-alone control and managed systems. It features a Bluetooth ‘smart’ communication and can be used to simply remote set-up, adjust or override settings. The free ControlZAPP APP can be downloaded from the DANLERS website and used to implement occupancy detection, time lags or daylight response on a ControlZAPP enabled product. This is a unique combination of stand-alone energy saving control plus real time scheduling and can potentially increase energy savings and improves end user comfort. It is ideal for retrofitting and for both large and small installations including a range of sectors such as offices, warehouses, retail units, hospitals, hotels, schools and social housing. The Wise Controls Fusion dimmer from Mr Resistor is a deceptively simple piece of equipment. It is available in a single and double dimmer version and can be retro fitted to replace existing dimmers. It has a soft fade on and off, creating a smooth transition to different light levels. The hidden functionality within the fusion dimmer is what sets it apart from other equipment on the market. Built into the dimmer is a radio receiver, allowing it to be linked with all WISE CONTROLS transmitter units. This means that wireless switches and sensors can be connected to the dimmer, allowing multiway dimming and daylight “Different percentages of energy savings can be made when using different control methods which are more commonly referred to as smart lighting installations.” control without any additional wiring. Scene setting and master control functionality is also included in the dimmer which allows the creation of occupancy and vacancy functions with daylight dimming adjustment and a master off control. Within the workplace and offices lighting controls can offer a great deal of flexibility and in turn save money. Stockrooms, bathrooms, hallways and lobbies that are used infrequently can be fitted with sensors to detect movement eliminating the need to switch off lighting when unoccupied. Lighting within a workplace is particularly important as it can improve staff productivity and morale. Natural lighting is the best light to work in, reducing eye strain and stress levels. Day light harvesting sensors can be used to dim lighting or even switch it off in areas of high natural lighting. For cloudy and dull days the artificial lighting can be increased by the sensor to create the perfect ambiance. Ex-Or’s new range of PIR sensors, LightSpot HD, uses innovative new features to make light work for energy efficiency, comfort, productivity and ease of use. LightSpot HD sensors provide class leading sensitivity with macro and micro detection; ensuring lights deliver optimal luminance when required and 15 A1_L_OCT_014-019_RH v8_Layout 1 10/22/14 2:02 PM Page 16 Controls switch off when necessary. With spring clip and locking ring fixing options, the sensors are fitted with pluggable, colour coded connectors, making the installation process easy. Additionally, they provide flexibility through the inclusion of QuickLink, a unique solution allowing installers to create a simple network of up to four sensors. Another sector that benefits from the advances of lighting controls is emergency lighting. In the past companies may have had to switch off the lighting to check each and every emergency lighting sign is working, which is a “Flexibility is a key factor when installing lighting for hospitality as often room changes are needed in very short turn-around times.” drain on a company’s resources. Simon McCune, Strategic Development Manager at Mackwell comments “The use of a visual indicator such as an LED is the simplest way to check Emergency Lighting is activated, but they still require someone to visually check the indicators on each individual fitting. More sophisticated systems centralise the monitoring and testing of emergency lighting, either without a permanent connection to a computer for relatively small stand-alone sites, or with a permanent software interface for larger buildings or for monitoring multiple sites. When specifying such systems it is important to choose the right control protocol and we would recommend using the DALI protocol, rather than a proprietary system, as DALI is also the protocol most commonly used with general lighting schemes.” More and more hotels are utilising lighting controls in their guest rooms and bathrooms along with use in the communal areas. Hamilton’s Mercury® lighting control system is a popular choice within hotels. The systems, which are now industry standard fit outs include programmable multi-scene lighting control for restaurant/bar and public areas that require changing ambient mood lighting and PIR (motion sensors). Partition switching is another popular choice, widely used within multi-layout conference/seminar function room areas. Flexibility is a key factor when installing lighting for hospitality as often room changes are needed in very short turn-around times. Remote Controlled Lighting (RCL) offer a patented ‘Select and Direct’ wireless control system that allows users to position, dim or even select a scene all with the touch of a button. Using a simple handheld remote control, individual lights can be selected and aimed from floor level. Pan and tilt movement, along with the intensity of each light, can be adjusted intuitively, ensuring the best possible lighting every time. The technology allows non-technical staff to position the light beam exactly where they want, even in spaces with high ceilings – RCL spotlights are designed to accommodate a variety of light sources including the company’s new, high-powered LED head. This type of lighting control can enhance a room’s ambiance and create a setting that is correct for the event. Many private residences are now reaping the benefits of lighting controls and are specifying them at the design stage. Lutron recently worked on a home being built in Richmond. A key element of the brief was that the technology had to be cleverly incorporated and be intuitive yet versatile and able to support the needs of the whole family.

Project Manager at Inspired Dwellings, Casey Barrett, explains further: “The owners of this property had a keen eye for fashion and a strong idea of the end project. Our technology needed to seamlessly integrate, not only with itself, but with the home’s design, becoming an intuitive part of family life. Lutron’s HomeWorks QS solution helped us achieve this. We were able to offer simple user interfaces, such as ‘Welcome’ and ‘Goodbye’ buttons on the keypads – enabling lighting and heating to be turned on to pre-agreed levels, or dropped to the eco-friendly mode – as well as use the system as a bridge between the Control4 system and other important features in the home.” Two homework AS processors were installed in panels in the basement and upper floor along with a range of Lutron dimming modules, DALI interfaces, third party input and output contact closures relays incorporated into these, and an additional panel, on the ground floor. Casey 18 Barrett comments: “The end result is not only traditional lighting mood scene creation and control of all the window treatments, but thanks to HomeWorks QS’s ability to integrate DMX, DALI, P-10, mains dimming, switched loads and contact closures, the home’s Maglocks, indoor and outdoor water features and even insect repellent have been integrated into the scheme!” Thanks to the skill of Inspired Dwellings and powerful integration technology of Lutron’s HomeWorks light control solution, the owners have a versatile system that can be adapted to the changing needs of the family for many years to come.

Collingwood Lighng Old House Private Residence Surrey, UK W hen Ma" Kelsing from Surreybased Lime Electrics won the contract to install external ligh0ng at the 18th century ‘Old House’ he looked to Collingwood Ligh0ng to supply the products needed. Old House is situated in the ancient village of Crondall which is located within a conserva0on area. This created a challenge as the products used needed to be sympathe0c to the heritage of the area, whilst also appropriate for use within the 21st century. Old House is a Grade II listed building and retains much of its classical period features with a mix of formal and informal gardens. The external ligh0ng needed to be both func0onal and aesthe0cally pleasing. Ma" Kelsing comments: “Once we had the design plan in place it was essen0al we were able to supply products that not only fullled the specica0on but also exceeded them. This is where Collingwood came in” He con0nued, “We knew we had to ensure total consistency in light output, longevity and most importantly, ease of installa0on and Collingwood 0cked all the boxes. To start with, the owners wanted 32 clearly lit pathways but without obtrusive ligh0ng columns” Collingwood’s Iroko bollard lights "ed the bill perfectly. At just 1m high, the three wide angle high powered 1W LEDs throw out a bright 110° pool of low level light and being ‘straight to mains’ are easy to install. Another considera0on set in the brief was to create maximum tranquillity. Due to the loca0on of the property, only 35 miles from London, the owners wanted a peaceful and relaxing space. A number of Collingwood LED ground and wall lights were used to highlight the many a"rac0ve exterior features. These included the GL038A ground light and GL034A hooded wall/ground lights – all direct to mains and all manufactured with a stainless steel fascia for easy maintenance and longevity. Collingwoods Linear FL200 LED ood lights were used, with a beam angle of 50° and 9 high-powered LEDs, they throw light over large distances, which makes them ideal for ligh0ng trees. The FL200 also has an anodised aluminium body and waterproof mains connector making it weatherproof no ma"er where it’s posi0oned. +44 (0)1604 495151 www.collingwoodlighng.com www.a1ligh0ngmagazine.com Lutron Primrose Co age Surrey, UK The owners of this Grade II listed co*age wanted their home to be bought into the 21st century with the introduc5on of Lutron’s HomeWorks QS whole-home light control system. This seven bedroom, 5mber-framed co*age has wa*le and daub walls and oorboards laid straight on to soil, so a conven5onal ligh5ng system was not an op5on. Lutron’s HomeWorks QS system uses wireless Clear Connect™ Radio Frequency (RF) technology which enables all of the interior and exterior light sources to be controlled, along with keypads, blinds and occupancy sensors. This has all been done with no disturbance to the fabric of the building. Max von Barnholt, Design Director of VBK Ligh5ng Consultants Ltd who oversaw the installa5on of the light control solu5on, explains further: “Our brief was to eliminate all of the surface cabling from the exis5ng wired-in ligh5ng system, reduce the number of light switches throughout the property and oce barn conversion, automate all of the interior and exterior ligh5ng for ul5mate energy savings and scene control as well as enable the whole-home to be operated remotely, or on-site via Apple® iPad™ and iPhone™ apps. “As with any Grade II listed building, any changes or addi5ons have to be benecial, not detrimental to the architecture. When we saw the RF poten5al of Lutron’s HomeWorks QS solu5on, we knew that it would be possible to introduce full home light and blind control into this unique property, with minimal disrup5on to the interior decora5on of the co*age and no disturbance to the fabric of the building itself.” The property is 16th century and originally built as one large house. It was then split into two co*ages and now has been rejoined with four staircases and a barn conversion, serving as an oce. To link the areas of property with minimum wiring, VBK Ligh5ng chose to use two of Lutron’s HomeWorks QS processors, one on the ground oor and one on the second. The processors were linked wirelessly on the home network and with the use of wireless access points there was no damage to the walls or need for Cat5 cabling runs. Eleven Lutron GRAFIK Eye QS wireless keypads were then connected throughout the co*age and barn, crea5ng eleven dierent control points from which to wirelessly manage the 66 circuits. In addi5on, a range of Lutron’s SeeTouch and SeeTouch Interna5onal wired keypads and Lutron's wireless Pico remote controls were used throughout, to enable a wide range of pre-programmed scenes to be accessed. By using mul5ple HomeWorks QS processors, wireless repeaters and wireless keypads where necessary, the wiring within the co*age and barn were kept to a minimum. To minimise the number of switches throughout, mul5ple func5ons were consolidated into the SeeTouch and Pico Remote Control keypads. Wireless occupancy sensors were placed in bathroom and larders to switch o lights when not in use. The homeowner can access the system when away by logging into a monitor hardwired to the processor. On-site access was also made possible through Lutron's Home Control+ iPad™ and iPhone™ app. The owners of the property were also able to stay in the co*age whilst the ligh5ng installa5on was being carried out. +44 (0)207 702 0657 www.lutron.com/europe www.a1ligh5ngmagazine.com 33 Domestic Lighting Hamilton Litestat Private Residence Surrey, UK This stunning "ve bedroom property boasts many features such as split levels, glass walls, high ceilings and pocket doors. It has a grand curved staircase which leads to the upper level and a self-contained annex. Set in a much sought-aer area where proper)es are valued between £3m and £5m. The brief was to install a ligh)ng control solu)on that would e ec)vely control a mul) room LED-based installa)on. Flexibility was key with the ability to tailor the ligh)ng in individual rooms essen)al and the look of the system needed to compliment the fabulous "nish of the project. Hamilton worked alongside the developer to create a bespoke system based upon their Mercury Ligh)ng Control system. This system enables the user to create an incredible variety of ligh)ng scenarios, from dimming to whole scene seng, which can be stored and reused with ease. A master control hub and wall-mounted control plates were installed. The control plates were available as both Capaci)ve touch controllers and Mechanical bu!on controllers. These were "!ed throughout the property and "nished in a polished chrome to match the minimalis)c design of the interior. With Mercury installed, on leaving or arriving at the property the homeowner can simply operate all presets at the touch of one bu!on. A remote control facility via iPad/iPhone using a downloadable app was also integrated into the system. The homeowner has a system which can be controlled by the push of a bu!on, or the swipe of the "nger, giving them full control of the ligh)ng throughout the property even when it’s unoccupied. Plus Hamilton’s bespoke design and produc)on service, Savile Row, ensured that every control plate was unique in both func)on and form – tailor-made coming as standard!

L ighng and rigging specialists dbn were asked by Glasgowbased arts organisaon Crypc to collaborate on creang ‘Sound To Sea’, a very special nightme naucal extravaganza presented in partnership with Glasgow Science Centre, and in associaon with Walk The Plank, All Or Nothing and The Royal Navy. It was staged at the Canng Basin on the River Clyde in Glasgow. This vibrant and ambious sitespecific work, directed by Cathie Boyd, celebrated Crypc’s 20th anniversary and was part of the arts programme accompanying the 2014 XX Commonwealth Games in the city, which culminated the same weekend. Dbn’s Stephen Page was commissioned to design and develop a lighng scheme for the show, due to the company’s extensive experience working on dynamic outdoor mul faceted performances like this. The performance encompassed several live arsts and bands, aerialists, pyro effects, around 140 performers and no less than fourteen ships which were part of a magical kinec set, some moving around the dock during the performance. The scale of the site was huge – from the top of the Science Centre roof, where the aerialists performed, to the boats manoeuvring in the dock, reaching right along to Glasgow Tower at 36 the end of the Science Centre, which became a striking endstop to the acon, with carefully choreographed pyro sequences fired in and around it. It was the expansive and varied nature of this temporary theatre environment that was the biggest challenge for Page when lighng the show. The soluon was to posion lights in just about every conceivable posion around the space! At the top and boom of the Science Centre roof were eight strategically deployed SGM P5s, 16 in total, with two Studio Due City Color LEDs also shoong up from the floor either side. Either side, and to the front of the building were four Clay Paky Alpha Wash 700s and level with the middle of the audience posions, in front of the roof and to the sides, were two Alpha Wash QWO 800s each side. The large dock basin and hub of the performance was directly in front of the Science Centre which had 16 Alpha Beam 700s posioned around its perimeter, used for creang an eyecatching backdrop to the boats and performers. They also doubled up as reinforcement for illuminang the Science Centre roof. The shape and makeup of the Science Centre roof was another galvanizing element with its disncve taniumclad crescent shaped www.a1lighngmagazine.com Sound To Sea structure acng as a backdrop to the event, so throwing sufficient light up there without it being reflected up into the night sky was extremely tricky. Around the FOH posion were another eight P5s shoong into the basin together with another two QWO 800s, four CP Sharpie Washes, four Marn Atomic strobes and two Robert Juliat Victor followspots. The Glasgow Tower was lit with six Sharpie Beams and four Sharpie Washes. Page operated all the shorebased lighng from his trusty Jands Vista T2 console. Six vessels had lighng systems installed on them, to support performers playing on deck. Glasgow electro ouit, Miaoux Miaoux, and Model Aeroplanes from Dundee were special guests aboard auxiliary support vessel ‘SD Omagh,’ and they were lit from behind with Clay Paky A.leda K10 BEye wash lights and a grid of Chauvet Nexus 4x4 panels, all operated locally via a Jands S3 console. The Treacherous Orchestra made waves aboard Royal Navy minesweeper, HMS Bangor, with their set being lit with a variety of kit including six Sharpies rigged on a scaffolding goalpost creang a high impact fan effect, Showtec Sunstrips upstage for eye candy and Showtec Spectral Zoom LED PARs for general washing, controlled with another Jands Vista S3. Dbn’s intrepid Nick Buckley literally had to ‘jump ship’ via the dockside to be in place in me to operate lighng on both boats! Further kit was installed on the four other boats that were acve in the show – the ‘Orcuan’, a 9 metre long Birlinn fishing vessel; 38 the 33 long Baldie ‘White Wing’ popular for fishing on the East Coast of Scotland; the ‘Wee Spark’ a third scale Clyde ‘puffer’ and the ‘Maybe’, an elegant tradional Dutch sailing Ketch launched in 1933 and built for round theworld cruising. The onboard lighng kit included a single CP GlowUp baerypowered wireless LED up lighter rigged on the ‘Orcuan’ to a slightly more sophiscated set up on the ‘White Wing’ comprising 30 metres of LED tape and two GlowUps, controlled locally by an ETC SmartFade 1224. The ‘Wee Spark’ was fired up with four iPix BB4 LED baens and two GlowUps controlled via wireless link to the FOH console on the shore, and the ‘Maybe’ was graced with 600 metres of Warm White fairy lights in her rigging, which provided a fantasc backdrop to an addional solo aerial dancer. Page recalls that aer geng sufficient illuminaon up to the top of the Science Centre, rigging these fairy lights was definitely the next most challenging lighng detail of the project to get right! Also on the ‘Maybe’ were three CP A.leda K10 BEyes and six Spectral Zoom 2500 LED pars, all controlled by an ultracompact Jands Vista M1. Glasgow beatboxer Bigg Taj freestyled aboard the ‘Wee Spark,’ folk singer Rachel Sermanni sang from the prow of the ‘White Wing,’ and soprano Marie Claire Breen, in full voice, was rowed into the performance space aboard the ‘Orcuan’ accompanied by the Glasgow Phoenix Choir singing from the dock side. Page and Buckley were joined by three other dbn crew – Moss Everhard, Col Emmerson and Steve Barnet, and they were assisted by rigger Pete Isherwood on the first day, and on the derig by Lucas Athienetes. Page sums up, “It was a really exhilarang project to be involved in, brought to fruion by a lot of hard work and some touches of pure ingenuity to overcome many challenges and idiosyncrac scenarios – which is what we like. There was a great team spirit and vibe between everyone working on site, the shows were both fully aended (by around 4,000 people) and it was a great success”.

Eyes On... Incorporated over 20 years ago, we nd out more about the energy saving controls specialist DANLERS Limited. 1. Where and when did the DANLERS story begin? DANLERS Limited was incorporated in 1990 by current chairman, Tony Kay, with members of his immediate family including current Managing Director Julian Kay. Tony, a graduate of Manchester University, an innova5ve, forward thinking engineer and entrepreneur, saw market opportuni5es in the ligh5ng and hea5ng, ven5la5on and air condi5oning industries with dimming and energy saving controls with his rst company, Home Automa5on, based in Herordshire, which was subsequently sold (eventually to become part of Eaton MEM). DANLERS Limited started trading in 1991 from the ac in Tony Kay’s home in Wiltshire, designing and manufacturing an ini5al range of ligh5ng controls aimed at the energy saving, security and convenience markets. Having outgrown the Kay family home, DANLERS Limited moved to The Tyak Centre in Chippenham in 2000, ini5ally ren5ng part of the site then purchasing the en5re site in 2008 and renaming it to the DANLERS Business Centre, resul5ng in expansion and modernisa5on of the factory, storage facili5es, oces and engineering labs plus investment in a state of the art surfacemount electronics produc5on line. The DANLERS philosophy has always been to produce high quality, innova5ve products that are easy to install and commission. This resolve along with a commitment to manufacturing their controls in the UK resulted in being awarded the pres5gious Queen’s Award for Enterprise Innova5on in 2010. 2010 also marked the launch of a new arm of the business, DANLERS Contract Electronics Manufacturing (CEM), oering electronic assembly for other manufacturing companies. 2. How have your controls changed over the years? The ethos behind most controls in the DANLERS range has not changed much over the years – simply saving energy by switching o (or dimming) ligh5ng or other connected loads when not required. The ligh5ng controls market was, when DANLERS started, a rela5vely small market which has grown into a global necessity. Ironically it has been suggested that the biggest threat to control manufacturers is when EVERYONE is empowered and mo5vated to take control and switch the ligh5ng OFF when not required, be that in a working, leisure or domes5c environment. Unfortunately that does not always happen unless you are the individual responsible for paying the energy bill. Sharp rises in the cost 44 www.a1ligh5ngmagazine.com Official opening of the DANLERS Business Centre in 2010 of electricity focuses the mind of those who write the cheques, balance the books or expect a beer return on investment. However, for many, especially in the working environment, it is not necessarily the employee’s concern unless they are sensi;ve to environmental issues and so the ligh;ng control industry con;nues to grow and the need for beer, more ecient and more #exible controls is in even greater demand. Not only increased energy costs but also legisla;on, ecological concerns and interna;onal commitments to reduce CO2 emissions has increased market size and the number of compe;tors compe;ng in those markets with many global corpora;ons taking an interest. DANLERS have had to maintain both an innova;ve and compe;;ve edge without compromising quality or a commitment to excellent customer service. As such, the DANLERS range of products is constantly evolving, improving and expanding to suit new technologies such as the digital and LED revolu;ons. Energy eciency through managed control of ligh;ng has become increasingly more sophis;cated in recent years. Managed systems have introduced many exci;ng criteria into the world of ligh;ng and HVAC control – AT A COST. To help customers achieve the goal of even greater energy, cost savings, rapid payback AND enhanced end user convenience and #exibility, DANLERS have recently launched the innova;ve ControlZAPP range as the cost eec;ve link between sophis;cated but expensive systems and reliable and low cost but less #exible stand alone controls of which DANLERS controls are so are well known and highly respected. The combina;on of the freely available ControlZAPP app and ControlZAPP enabled controls enables you to create personal, #exible switching sengs (modes) which you can place into a schedule (a calendar of ;mes and dates) of when/how you wish these modes to occur. Because ControlZAPP devices have an internal ;me clock they can be accurately programmed in real ;me to change their func;on at dierent ;mes of day, or on dierent days of the week or even holidays. Once you have con"gured the app you can upload the sengs to your ControlZAPP hardware for controlling ligh;ng or other connected loads. Most features contained on the ControlZAPP applica;on soware may be con"gured OFF SITE prior to installa;on of the ControlZAPP hardware can only be completed when soware, via the ControlZAPP applica;on, and hardware are connected ON SITE by Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Smart). The pairing of stand alone energy saving control and a real ;me scheduling poten;ally increases energy saving AND improves end user comfort at a low cost which signi"cantly improves payback periods for the end user. 3. We can see from your website that you have an energy saving range – what is your most popular product in the range? DANLERS Ceiling mounted PIR occupancy switch (CEFL PIR) has for many years been the biggest selling product. Its energy saving poten;al (up to 80% in some installa;ons), rapid payback (average 18 months in a The attic - where it all began! www.a1ligh;ngmagazine.com Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne drops into DANLERS for a chat, July 2013 commercial environment), slim unobtrusive looks, ease of installa;on and 5-year warranty make it very popular with many contractors, speci"ers and end users alike. 4. What has been your biggest challenge to date and how did you overcome it? Challenges are an everyday occurrence which the talented and enthusias;c DANLERS team, be that produc;on, engineering, dispatch, sales, marke;ng or senior management, always rise to. Chairman Tony Kay always leads by example and despite cung back a lile, having reached his 79th year, is s;ll at his work desk 5 days a week. 5. What can we expect in the future from DANLERS? ControlZAPP marks the beginning of a new phase for DANLERS Limited. Without wishing to show our cards to the world where a good idea can be swept up by the commercially eager and less innova;ve, I can assure you that the DANLERS team are working on a number of very exci;ng projects that will hopefully expand our UK and export markets in 2015 and beyond.

The Roundhouse in Camden recently called upon Atmos to design an excing project that combines light and music. Atmos is a muldisciplinary pracce creang innovave works of art, architecture and design, spanning scales and media. They design buildings and objects, installaons and landscapes conjuring meaningful, pleasurable, and enduring experiences. Much of their work involves cung edge design and fabricaon technologies, complex structures and digital mapping, exploring the connecvity of people to their precise place in the world. Arboreal Lightning is a mammoth interacve installaon that transforms sound and movement into an immersive luminous environment. Commissioned by both the Roundhouse venue and Grammy AwardWinning singer songwriter Imogen Heap, this project is the centrepiece for the Camden Roundhouse’s Reverb 2014 Fesval of Contemporary Classical Music. The installaon mirrors the Roundhouse's clocklike plan of 24 columns by bundling 24 strands of LED light into a giant heavyrooted trunk that grows from the stage to arc over 48 the colonnade and arches above. The strands soar upwards and weave through columns and raers to follow the building's dramac structure, seeking hidden recesses and unexplored corners, before exploding outwards above both the performers and audience. Some branches yearn upwards, towards the light of the lantern and a few strands bow down to reach and mingle with the audience. 1,500 metres of LED string have been meculously tamed to shadow the contours of the building's giant skeleton – yet each of the 4,800 pixel nodes glimmer individually in response to life. They coalesce to form a sinuous elasc mesh of sculptural video – a fluid, spaal cinema, worming through the building. Architainment Lighng was called upon by Atmos Studio to supply a flexible, adaptable and lightweight soluon; iColor Flex MX gen2 by Philips Color Kinecs was the obvious choice. The strands boast flexible threads of high intensity, full colour LED nodes specifically designed for extraordinary effects and expansive installaons without the constraints of fixture size, shape or space.

L Photography: Will Layzell Photography – www.willlayzell.com ocated in the grounds of a tradi4onal nineteenth century oast house in Kent is where you will ,nd the private residence designed by Nash Baker Architects, recently shortlisted for the 2014 Na4onal Wood Awards. The owners wanted an accessible and sustainable contemporary home for their re4rement. The house has been speci,cally designed to the Code for Sustainable Homes and with locally sourced 4mber. Low energy ligh4ng from Precision Ligh4ng’s Discus LED ,xtures were used to compliment the natural light in this eco-home. Tad Trylski, the ligh4ng design consultant, speci,ed Discus LED ,xtures as well as Precision Ligh4ng’s propriety ligh4ng track system, Retrac. Both are white, to blend seamlessly into the surrounding architecture allowing the ar4,cial ligh4ng to appear natural; adding to the sense of spaciousness and freedom within the rooms. The o-white walls help to balance the use of the 4mber, and it also provides a suitable backdrop for the Bri4sh-Danish couple’s eclec4c art and furniture. The minimal lines of the recessed Retrac system also reect the simple lines present in the surrounding architecture. The Douglas ,r ooring and the exposed ceilings are treated with lime to lighten their ,nishes and prevent the wood from yellowing over 4me. ‘All spaces and views to and from the property have been channelled for maximum light and privacy, responding to natural sun paerns as well as the clients’ brief to create quieter sanctuaries away from the social areas of the house,’ says Nash Baker. ‘The Precision Ligh4ng ,$ngs were used to highlight speci,c surfaces and objects, including the worktops and artworks,’ says architect Simon Baker. ‘The building is constructed from cross laminated 4mber with no roof voids in which to insert light ,$ngs, so we looked at track systems that would give us a clean-appearing ceiling and the exibility to move ,$ngs. In areas, we also had to project light over quite long distances because of the tall ceilings. We used Precision Ligh4ng because of their range of aesthe4cally simple and small ,$ngs, which met our performance criteria. The company itself was a pleasure to work with because of their willingness to help on what was a rela4vely small domes4c project.’ Precision Ligh4ng oers a choice of track ligh4ng systems. Retrac is a low voltage system. Rated at 300W and designed to be recessed into walls or ceilings, providing an extremely versa4le system for general or display ligh4ng. It can be installed with the track ush to a ceiling and with the rest of the ligh4ng slo$ng into place aer the decora4on is complete, or surface mounted. An op4onal cover strip can also be painted to match the decor. Discus is machined from aerospace-grade AL 6063-T6 aluminium, which ensures far more ecient thermal proper4es than a cast product. This allows Discus to deliver a lumen package of 280-470lm from an incredibly compact luminaire. The high thermal conduc4vity of this grade of aluminium enables Precision Ligh4ng's luminaires to be some of the smallest on the market, while safely running the LEDs well below their recommended maximum temperature. Precision Ligh4ng's Jack Plug system enables the luminaire to be easily disconnected and reconnected to all of Precision Ligh4ng's systems.

T he Eden Project in Cornwall, UK was the magical seng for a diverse series of music performances. Over a "ve week period a star-studded line up of ar>sts performed, Skrillex, Dizzee Rascal, Katy B, Ellie Goulding, Elbow and The Pixies, to name just a few. Fineline, the Bristol based ligh>ng and visual rental specialists, supplied the ligh>ng, LED screen, rigging and crew. Rob Sangwell from Fineline explained that they designed a highly exible and prac>cal ‘house’ ligh>ng rig, so that all the touring bands could come in ‘underneath’ with their respec>ve touring packages. Ligh>ng for each gig – although based around the "xtures available in the house rig – also emulated the ar>st’s touring ligh>ng schemes as far as possible. The stage at Eden is beneath an elegant, dis>nc>ve crescent shaped tensile roof, so all rigging had to be integrated with this. A hybrid design evolved to facilitate the 17 metre wide by 14 metre deep super-truss mother grid that is part ground-supported and part-own, this provided all the required ligh>ng and video rigging posi>ons. “It took a bit of working out ini>ally,” explains Sangwell, “But now the concept exists it is proving an ideal and very adaptable solu>on”. Once the mother grid was in place, they sub-hung their three 15 metre ligh>ng and one 15 metre wide video trusses below, plus a drapes truss at the back, with allowances made for accommoda>ng addi>onal ar>st ‘specials’. The house rig ligh>ng comprised of 18 x Robe 600E Spots, 18 x Robe LEDWash 600s and 12 x Robe Pointe mul>-purpose luminaires, together with a healthy splaering of 2, 4 and 8-lite blinders, 16 x Mar>n Atomic strobes and 16 x ETC Source Four Pro"les at the front for essen>al key ligh>ng. They also had around 72 PAR cans on the rig for general washes and stage cover, as well as for support acts, etc. The house control was Avolites dimming and ChamSys SnakeSys R8 ArtNet nodes and Avo 52 DMX buers for data, with an Avo Tiger Touch as the house desk. All the visi>ng LDs brought in their own grandMA2 consoles, all of which were integrated into the ArtNet control network. Fineline supplied 48 panels of Lighthouse R7 LED screen for video, and this was recon"gured for dierent acts, with the ‘standard’ house con"gura>on being one 16:9 upstage block of screen. For Elbow – designed by Cate Carter – they needed more screen, so 44 square metres was installed for this show, set up as a 14.5 metres wide and 3 metres high surface at the back to dovetailed with their touring video package. They hooked the LED screen into the touring media servers / control systems in each case again integrated via Fineline’s ArtNet data system. This aspect of the project and all associated geekery was co-ordinated for Fineline by Stuart England. Cate Carter also created the ligh>ng and visual design for Ellie Goulding, which was out with Robin Haddow as Ligh>ng Director. Says Sangwell, “We all enjoyed working with Cate again, who we’ve known for some >me as she comes from the area. She’s always been a talented designer and it’s great to see her career rocke>ng to where it is now … especially with her local connec>ons”. Fineline’s other crew were Wingnut, Tim Williams and Sam Kenyon all on ligh>ng, Mar>n Jacobs looking aer the video and riggers Steve Armstrong, Peran Odgers and Ruben Pinkney. “It was fabulous to be part of the TAO Produc>ons team again and working on an event that’s a bit dierent from a standard music fes>val. Everything was well organised and based on high produc>on values which is always good. We were lucky with the weather, Eden is a genuinely amazing place to work … and we all love it” concludes Sangwell.

The second of the tenders related to supplying technical services and equipment for around 150 main events within the Fes>val which focussed on crea>ng new interna>onal and domes>c business-tobusiness rela>onships and commercial openings for UK companies of all sizes and sectors. The IFB ran for 50 days through June and July and was the ,rst of a new concept as well as the largest global concentra>on of business events. It aracted business delegates and trade intermediaries from worldwide to one of the UK’s most exci>ng and hospitable ci>es. This massive project was managed for Adlib by Director Mark Roberts who commented, “IFB was the largest business event in which we’ve been involved to date, and something that is completely unique. We are exceedingly proud that Liverpool was chosen as a host city and also to have the chance to rise to the many challenges and provide an unparalleled service to the required standards of excellence”. 56 The Hub was designed as the mul>purpose high tech aorta for all IFB ac>vi>es which had break-out conference, mee>ng and seminar spaces over three +oors. The ground +oor included a bespoke stage style recep>on/registra>on area, an interac>ve pentagon shaped pod (,ed with 5 x interac>ve screens u>lised to navigate video footage of exci>ng projects within the City regions) and branded exhibi>on walls featuring presenta>on screens that welcomed and directed all visitors to the IFB HUB. The third +oor o-ered eleven di-erent spaces with dividing walls installed by Adlib, including The Cube – a 40-capacity conference area. A dedicated exhibi>on area featured a large LCD projec>on screen, and assorted infrastructure was deployed to support seven di-erent exhibitors for the dura>on of the event. Infrastructure was provided to support six ‘Pod’ mee>ng rooms, together with a Green Room zone and the ‘Pub in the Hub’, a vital aer-hours networking, socialising and mee>ng place that buzzed with ac>vity aer 6 p.m. On the fourth +oor, Adlib co-ordinated the technical requirements to support a Mayoral Suite used as the Mayor’s Oce of Residence for IFB 2014. BT’s boardroom and Liverpool Vision’s CEO and Produc>on oces were also co-ordinated by Adlib on this +oor, plus another Green Room and assorted press and media brie,ng areas. The en>re Hub was also dressed and neatly ,nished by Adlib using a selec>on of drapes, so goods and custom elements. “A huge amount of e-ort went into these ,nishing details,” explained Roberts, “They were as important to get right as the fundamental technical speci,ca>ons”. “The biggest challenge of co-ordina>ng all elements for the Hub was me>culous planning and execu>on,” explains Mark Roberts, adding that although it was a completely di-erent ball game from running a large scale gig, the basic building blocks were ostensibly similar. Physically the most galvanising aspect was geng all the kit up and down eight +ights of stairs, together with installing environments to the required standards from completely bare spaces … and seven weeks later, leaving the building exactly as they had found it, without so much as a scratch, scu- or a smudge on the walls or +oors. “I am pleased to say that we also scored 100% on this front,” says Roberts bristling with pride. Adlib also provided all sta- to run the facili>es, and with mul>ple events happening daily, around 25 engineers supported head technicians’ Dan Brown and Jon Priest whilst Tim Robinson dealt with the gargantuan task of warehouse logis>cs.

M inute To Win It is the new game show franchise which is to be screened by Al Nahar TV Egypt. It was originally conceived as an American prime 4me game show, divided into a series of 60-second challenges. It is shown in front of a live audience and Lebanese ligh4ng designer, Fouad Hadad, chose the PR Ligh4ng xtures. This is due to the quality as well as the rela4onship he already had with HiLights, the media produc4on company who had specied the high grad automated beam movement from PR Ligh4ng. To emulate the set and the stage concept which has been seen in other countries the XR 200’s (housing the 189W Philips MSD Pla4num 5R) were deployed in equal quan44es between the overhead truss, which it shared with the XLED 1037’s (featuring 37 x 4-colour 10W LED’s) and as oor FX. The fully featured XL300 Beams were also used as oor eects, 60 although these were at the back of the stage. The contract has been successfully won by Hi-Lights Egypt due to the company’s CEO, Hamed Arafa, as they were the only company in Egypt with the appropriate equipment and technical know-how. He stated that the use of the PR Ligh4ng FX had proved a big success. “They provided superior colour mixing and the designer was also impressed with the light weight — as well as the fact that the fans ran virtually silently, which is essen4al for a TV produc4on. “Both the ligh4ng designer and produc4on manager were extremely happy with the quality we provided.” A1 Contact PR Lighng +86-20-3995 2379 www.pr-lighng.com www.a1ligh4ngmagazine.com www.a1ligh ngmagazine.com 61 Out and About Remote Controlled Lighting Grand Hyatt Hotel Hong Kong 8 RCL adds Flexibility Remote Controlled Lighting help the Grand Hyatt hotel in Hong Kong with their award-winning iDirect lighting control app for the iPad.

This presents a logis6cal and ligh6ng challenge that Remote Controlled Ligh6ng helps the hotel to overcome with its award-winning iDirect ligh6ng control app for the iPad. The user-friendly app enables sta$ to control the intensity and direc6on of RCL’s lights, either individually or in groups using a feature called Light Plans – an en6rely new concept in spotlight selec6on – which maps lights on to a ceiling plan of the ballroom. ‘This takes the guesswork out of spotlight selec6on,’ says RCL sales director Spence Baxter. ‘Once a Light Plan has been imported, sta$ at the hotel can place their lights exactly wherever they want’. The intui6ve Gesture Pad control interface and unlimited scene selec6ons ensures that anyone can learn to focus lights in just a few minutes and recall mul6ple ligh6ng scenes with a single touch. Crea6ng a scene is easy. Once luminaires have been adjusted, the user simply taps a buon within the Scenes sec6on, adds a descrip6on and chooses which areas to 62 photos: Grand Hya include. The sengs for the individual lights are saved and can then be recalled at any 6me with the touch of a buon. When lights are logged into iDirect they are automa6cally allocated to an area preselected by the user to represent individual rooms or ‘Areas’. A dimmer panel is added to the screen’s centralised dimming sec6on for each area so that the light intensity can be controlled from a single loca6on.

Painng With Light’s Luc Peumans designed lighng for the spectacular. Directed by Dirk Decloedt, the 25 minute “Great Big Musical Thank You” show, was set to a specially composed soundtrack and featured 250 dancers as well as a troupe of huge Dundu Puppets. There was also a 75 metre wide by 12 metre high waterscreen projecon surface, dancing fountains and over 2000 pyro cues, all linked together by the vision of Scenographer / Art Director Marcos Viñals Bassols and Peumans’ dynamic lighng. The ‘stage’ was a 300 metre wide secon of beach and Nieuwpoort’s two piers – each with a lighthouse at the end were also lit for the occasion, which provided an enchanng backdrop as well as a launch area for some of the pyro which was choreographed by Vitor Machado of Grupo Luso Pirotechnica from Portugal. “I had to think really big when it came to designing the lights to match the scale of the show,” explains Peumans. “The lighng also needed to be an integrator for all the other visual aspects of the performance, and the 66 other major challenge was the fact it was a truly unique sitespecific work, with all elements needing special treatment”. Posioned along the first pier were 36 x Robe Pointes which created aerial effects, and were chosen for their brightness as well as their wide range of creave features and effects. There were also four 25W RGBW lasers posioned along the pier. On the second pier which was around 50 metres behind the front one, another 26 x Pointes were located. Throwing light into the stage area on the beach were special low trussing structures built each side and rigged with 12 x Vari*Lite 3500 Washes at 8 metre intervals for strong cross and side lighng. Two FOH towers provided addional lighng posions for four V*L 3500 Washes and four Clay Paky Alpha Profile 1500s on each tower, all fixtures picked due to their long throw capabilies. Peumans also created a special effect using 1600 x Drome LED surround lights, which would usually be worn on wristbands, and controlled via wireless DMX. Two were aached to each of the dancer’s wrists, with the other 1100 scaered randomly across the beach, making a fantasc twinkling star effect. They were programmed into the grandMA2 lighng console running all the stage lights. The water screen was supplied by the Crystal Group. The custom video content produced by VTM which formed the show’s narrave, recounted the staon’s many highlights from the last 25 years and was projected via three Barco 40K machines, edge blended to form one giant image. The video sources were all programmed onto one of Painng With Light’s Pandora’s Box media servers programmed by PWL’s Kathleen Selleslagh, with lighng programmed and run by Paco Mispelters. Phlippo Showlights from Lier supplied all the lighng equipment, and the event’s technical producon was coordinated by Bart Adriaensen of MundoMac. A special episode of the popular and iconic VTL music programme “Ten To See” was also recorded in Nieuwpoort immediately before the 25 year celebraon show started, and broadcast as “Tien Om Tegen De Sterren Op Te Zien”.

G N I S O I N H E L I G H T 68 T A new architectural highlight adds fresh impetus and appeal to the seng of Bregenz's cultural mile. In 2014, Casino Bregenz was transformed and expanded in two construcon phases: an extension was added to the terrace facing towards the Fesval House, and the outer façade was given a complete faceli. In order to present the aracve locaon of Casinos Austria AG in Bregenz to opmum effect also at night, and to create the right backdrop for a highly atmospheric evening at the casino, the clients opted for a dynamic media façade. Zumtobel's CAPIX evoluon LED media façade luminaire was able to meet the high requirements. It is a truly Hollywoodstyle seng, and not just since the shoong of the James Bond movie “Quantum of Solace”. Situated in the immediate vicinity of the lake, Casino Bregenz opens up above the stairs to the summer terrace facing the Fesval Square in the heart of Bregenz. Guests and passersby are fascinated by the redesigned façade, which surrounds both the exisng glazed front and the annex with metal sheeng. From inside, guests enjoy an unhampered view of the lake, while the aenon of passersby is drawn towards the flowing, slightly irregularly arranged metal elements. When night falls, the façade is transformed into a shining interplay of colours, thanks to the CAPIX evoluon LED media façade luminaire. As the individual CAPIX elements are linked by only one data line and one supply line, the 6500 single CAPIX pixels cling to the curved façade of the extended casino like a second skin. In total, the casino was fied with 1140 metres of CAPIX. Since each CAPIX pixel incorporates three RGB LEDs, the lighng effect produced by CAPIX evoluon is bright and brilliant even when viewed from long distances. In addion to generang colours and other effects, the control system of CAPIX evoluon also allows running a sequence of moving pictures. If required, the sequence of façade illuminaon can also be changed on short noce. At the same me, the new LED façade lighng also complies with the strict requirements regarding nature and bird protecon applicable in Bregenz and features Zumtobel Lighting Solution illuminates redesigned Casino Bregenz façade. excellent energy efficiency. Within the scope of refurbishment, the interior was redesigned and extended as well, so that now the lounge is illuminated by brilliantly sparkling DIAMO LED downlights that create a stylish ambience. Together with the Fesval House and the Floang Stage, the redesigned Casino Bregenz now forms a harmonious overall ensemble. The façade blends perfectly into the scenery and adds addional splendour to the cultural mile that has developed over the past years, ranging from the 4KUB Kunsthaus to the Landestheater and vorarlberg museum through to the Fesval Square. For Casinos Austria, the media façade opens up new ways of presentaon. Thus, not only guests but also passersby can experience Casino Bregenz as an excing work of lighng art at night.

T esco and power management company Eaton have announced that customers Typhoo and another three Tesco suppliers are set to save 750,000 kilowa hours (kWh) per year and cut their lighng costs by up to 80 per cent, thanks to a new energyefficient lighng Buying Club developed by Tesco and 2degrees in partnership with the Carbon Trust and Eaton’s Cooper Lighng & Safety business. Typhoo took part in a sixmonth pilot scheme as part of Tesco’s new collaborave Buying Club which will help suppliers invest in energy efficient lighng equipment and installaons by offering experse and compeve prices. As part of the pilot scheme, which took place from February to September 2013, Typhoo has trialled the lighng model, replacing lighng in its 14,700 square metre factory in the Wirral, Merseyside. As the chosen provider of light eming diode (LED) and lowenergy lighng to Tesco’s buying club, Eaton’s Cooper Lighng & Safety business worked closely with the installer Briggs & Forrester Special Projects and Typhoo to understand the needs for the new lighng installaon. “The exisng lighng was predominantly a metalhalide lighng soluon, but this needs regular maintenance and frequent lamp 72 replacement,” says James Cosgrove, energy soluons manager at Eaton’s Cooper Lighng & Safety business. “We recommended a much more energyefficient, full LED soluon that consists of Litex LEDs with inbuilt controls in the higher bay areas and robust weatherproof Tufflite Plus LEDs.” Typhoo specified three requirements from the lighng soluon. First, it had to be environmentallyfriendly with low energy usage, enabling Typhoo to meet its energy targets and reduce its carbon emissions. Secondly, the lighng had to be easy to maintain – a fitandforget soluon that would provide reliable, longlasng light. And, finally, the lighng had to be bright and create a pleasant working environment for the company’s staff, helping to improve producvity. Since trialling the energyefficient lighng system, under the Tesco Buying Club, Typhoo is proposing to replace all its lighng in a four phase project over the next two years, enabling it to reduce its maintenance schedule, therefore saving costs associated with replacing lamps. Its staff will also be able to benefit from a beer lighng environment and the tea company can reduce its carbon emissions and energy bill considerably.

Kamal Osman Jamjoom is the mul chain retail group, who also manage the Body Shop, Neal’s Yard and Early Learning Centre brands across the whole of the Gulf States and Nayomi is a completely unique store for women only in the region. Three of the Nayomi flagship stores have recently been part of an extensive development programme by London’s Kinnersley Kent Design and a fourth in Yas Mall UAE is also currently having a refit. They have created a Princess Palace theme and these new stores now feature a powderpink colour scheme with ornate mirrors and decadent chandeliers. This has been done with both sensivity and respect for women and the Nayomi brand reflects and celebrates femininity in this prey and romanc décor. Mall of Arabia in Jeddah, Nakheel Mall in Riyadh and the Mall of Dhahran in Saudi Arabia are the three new stores which have been created with the Princess Palace theme. Each of these flagship stores have been designed with large pinklit entranceways and window displays along with illuminated feature bays inside the store that are all lit with Applelec’s LED Light Sheet behind decorave pink panels. Applelec’s Aura Linear LED profiles were used to illuminate coving areas with 4100K LEDs used in both the LED Light Sheet panels and LED profiles behind a pink filter to achieve colour consistency. Ian Hitchings of KOJ said: ‘Malls are enormously compeve retail environments and we were looking to create a highly encing entrance for the new Nayomi Princess Palace flagships. The LED Light Sheet panels enabled us to create the impacul pinklit entrance and window displays that really delivers a sense of expectaon as customers enter the store spaces.’ A1 Contact Applelec +44 (0)1274 774 477 www.ledlightsheet.co.uk www.a1lighngmagazine.com Out and About SGM 15 Scottish Independence Referendum Glasgow T wo TV rental specialists – one operang in London and one in Glasgow – pooled their respecve SGM inventories to great effect recently during the recent Scosh Independence Referendum. With most of the broadcast acvity centred on Glasgow, Tony Kennedy’s Teknique Systems, having purchased 12 SGM P5 Washlights from SGM UK, joined forces with Richard Marn Lighng (RML) to provide lighng infrastructure in two very different venues. The live televised debate between Alistair Darling (leading the ‘No’ campaign) and Alex Salmond (Scotland’s First Minister, heading the drive for Independence), held at the historic Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, was followed by the acon through the night as the votes were counted. This took place in ‘The Street’, the central atrium area of the ultra modern £72m BBC Pacific Quay, which only opened seven years ago. “We handle all the lighng hires and technical support for RML in Scotland,” confirmed Tony Kennedy. “It means that producon companies and lighng designers get the same level of service on a local basis.” He was first introduced to the P5s at last year’s PLASA Show in London. “I liked the fixture and thought it was the right product to introduce to our hire stock,” he said. “It also seemed a good product to crosshire with RML when required, as we wanted a high output fixture for various jobs.” It’s a yes… for the lights! SGM P-5s light up the Scottish Independence Referendum. Teknique Systems first demoed RML’s inventory at the beginning of the year on the Celc Connecons Fesval at new Glasgow venue, The Hydro, “and this convinced us that this was a serious bit of kit,” he said. “As a high output fixture with long throw and low power consumpon I could see how we could use them (with the 23° lens opon) at both these referendum events.” Flown from lighng bars, they lit up the Pacific Quay atrium and fabric of the building during the network broadcast on referendum night itself as millions tuned in to watch the votes being returned and counted (with presenters Jeremy Vine and Hugh Edwards). “We also incorporated four SGM Q7 [RGBW flood] fixtures at low level for a colour wash, as these units have a great wide angle lens,” he connued. In addion, 12 P5s (from RML) were used to illuminate the Scosh Parliament Building in Edinburgh as the backdrop for all the Media Village reports leading up to the final result. Summing up, Tony Kennedy says, “The P5 is a great product, has built in wifi, comes with various lens opons and delivers high output from low power consumpon. In addion, it has very good build quality and is IP65rated – so it’s usable both inside or outside … which is a real bonus for us.” A1 Contact SGM +45 70 20 74 00 www.sgmlight.com 76 www.a1lighngmagazine.com Gullwing Available in DSI | D1-10 | DALI Description: Twin lamp low level reflector battens, suitable for surface or suspended ceiling mounting.

With a gliering line up of stars (Coldplay, Taylor Swi, Usher, Nicki Minaj, One Direcon, Ed Sheeran, Calvin Harris, Baslle and many, many more including some showstopping collaboraons), the high profile spectacle was hosted by Ryan Seacrest and broadcast live on over 150 iHeartMedia radio staons across the country. It was the first year that Kenny was available to create a producon lighng design for the event, for which the set was based on classic and contemporary spheres with mullayered video surfaces at the back. He worked closely with Video Designer Jason Rudolph and Scenic Designer Tom McPhillips, Darren Pfeiffer for iHeartMedia and Dan Parise for DPS Producons. They wanted an epic ‘live arena TV’ look to the show, explained Kenny, an aesthec that he has honed to a fine art in addion to his signature vibrancy. As well as making things look fabulous, the producers also wanted him onboard because of his high profile rock ‘n’ roll background and reputaon for thinking on his feet, sasfying the demands of mulple arsts simultaneously, improvising when needed … and retaining his famous Irish humour! “It was a hugely excing project on which to work,” he enthused “very fast moving and 78 energy pumping, and the lighng had to take on that same look and vibe, and that’s why I chose a rig that was primarily Robe!” “I knew with over 300 Pointes I would have all the dynamics and flexibility I needed to get through the very intense programming schedule” – 12 bands a day performing five songs each. Each one had to look different and effecvely have their own individual show, even though they were all sharing the same rig. He used the 300 Pointes – doed all over the network of trussing and set pieces – to create the main backbone of looks for all their sets. “The Pointes were absolutely stunning. They offered so much variety that absolutely no scene looked the same and I sll had plenty of headroom … by no means had we run out of great looking combinaons by the end of the two fullon days!” In addion to the Pointes, over 100 LEDWash 1200s graced the rig, used for general stage and set washing dues in an array of fabulous colours, 66 x LEDBeam 100s were ulised for specials together with 24 of Robe’s brand new BMFL Spots. Kenny was the very first lighng designer to use BMFL Spots in the US on the 2014 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles. Having realised their massive potenal on that project, he now had more me to opmise their features and with it, their role and prominence in this show. Sixteen BMFLs were high up on the overhead trusses, proving invaluable for creang massive looks that reached right out across the audience to the back of the venue. The other eight on the floor made powerful and dramac lowlevel specials upstage of the bands. “They were so bright that I had to keep turning them down!” he exclaimed, laughing. “The BMFLs are so incredibly versale that it seemed like there were loads more fixtures on the rig.” “Some great teamwork and synergy between all of us in the various technical/creave departments helped produce a beauful show – full of life, colour and emoon – of which we are all very proud,” commented Kenny, adding that the client was also delighted with the results. Kenny’s programming team of four comprised Lead Programmer Michael Appel and Programmer Tiffany Keys who together ran the show onsite using grandMA2 fullsize consoles. All the previsualisaon and pre programming was completed by Jason Baeri, Andrew Griffin and David Perkins. The gaffers were Bryan Klunder and Mike Grimes, the arst’s video was coordinated by Chase Simonds and all lighng and video equipment was supplied by VER.

Our very own Devon Underhill nds out. F or our rst family holiday we decided on the beau!ful countryside of Devon. We had a variety of poten!al coages and hotels to rest our heads but nally made the choice of Carswell Farm Holiday Coages and it didn’t let us down. Tucked away on the south coast of Devon, Carswell Farm is the perfect place to have a fun-lled holiday with your family. It is only a short distance to Plymouth Town and a 10 minute walk through the farm to the coast line. I oer one piece of advice while you are there and that is – while you walk through the cow elds, DO NOT MOO at the cows, as they will come and inves!gate and with a six month old baby this is not the best !me to be running! Being dog friendly was also an added bonus and our puppy Oscar enjoyed his rst holiday away as well as our son Henry, with lots to see and do, from country walks to holiday shopping and lots of yummy cream teas. The Spring Coage that we stayed in was very quaint and cosy. The kitchen for me was the best part, with an open space and a beau!ful view, this is where the cakes and bakes were made and the evenings spent discussing the day. A roaring wood burner in the lounge made the coage so homely and our very !red Oscar loved it! I will denitely be re-visi!ng Carswell Farm to stay in one of their six dierent coages. We would like to thank everyone at Carswell Farm for making our rst family holiday the best – the standard will be hard to beat.

W ith the seasonal clock change approaching in October, Osram is calling me on the tradional idea of daylight saving. Experts studying the biological effects of light who work for Osram suggest there is no real benefit to pung the clocks back an hour each autumn, other than the extra hour of sleep, which is far outweighed by the detriment of “ Daylight controls many biological processes in the body and consequently many suffer from sleep disorders, chronic fague and depression. waking people earlier in the summerme. This is a change that many people find incredibly difficult to adjust to for some weeks and will experience a significant lack of performance as a result. As the days get shorter in the winter, the lack of exposure to the ‘right light’ can have a detrimental effect both mentally and physically in the home and workplace. Daylight controls many biological processes in the body along with the internal clock, and consequently many suffer from sleep disorders, chronic fague and depression – including Seasonal Affecve Disorder (S.A.D). According to Osram’s experts, maintaining a status quo on waking hours 98 throughout the year is far more beneficial to an individual’s body clock. “We need more light during the day, especially during the morning hours and the tradional approach to daylight saving has proven to cause problems for our chronobiology,” says Dr. Andreas Wojtysiak, Senior Scienst in light and health at Osram. ” “The stability and strength of an individual’s circadian rhythm (body clock) is a real weapon against the winter blues, and this is supported by the effects of being exposed to powerful light. Natural or simulated daylight is one of the vital elements of life for healthy growth and development in all organisms, and it must now be a priority to focus on how we use and consume it in our busy modern lives.” A1 Contact Osram +44 (0)1744 812221 www.osram.co.uk www.a1lighngmagazine.com
