QUEENSLAND CHAPTER PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

There are many ways to save energy and the Government is more than ever

encouraging the lighting industry to adopt or create lighting systems that will

save energy. Many of you have probably already joined the race however many

of us are still learning and beyond the basic measures we have learned that it is

difficult to achieve good lighting efficient installations. One of the initiatives of

the IES is to have introduced this year a new lighting efficiency design award

sponsored by the department of climate change and energy conservation. All

Excellence lighting design award recipients from last year can nominate to enter

into the new award and a nomination form will be sent to them very soon. It’s a

great initiative and we are looking forward to see the results that will be

presented at the gala dinner at SPARC on Wednesday 8th of June.

You can now start sending your nominations for the 2011 Lighting Design Awards, and the Student Luminaire Design

Award which details are included in this current edition of Arcus. The entry forms should now be updated on the IES

website where you can access them and download them.

Our next technical meeting will deliver an update on the requirement of the BCA on the subject of residential building

class 1 and 2.

QUEENSLAND LIGHTING AWARDS 2011—INVITATION The Illuminating Engineering Society of Australia and New Zealand Limited (Queensland Chapter) invites Owners and/or Designers of recently completed lighting installations in metropolitan and regional areas to nominate for the 2011 Queensland Lighting Awards.

The Awards represent the Queensland Chapter’s most important contribution to the recognition and promotion of the art and science of illuminating engineering in Queensland. As well as giving acclaim to designs of high standard, the Society believes that in promoting the awards, the concept of professionalism in the industry is enhanced and the importance of lighting design is publically acknowledged.

Nominators should consider carefully the area or areas submitted for judging. It is not unusual for an installation to have individual areas of high merit but in total is not considered to justify an award.

Nominations will not be accepted for luminaire design. The Society conducts a separate Luminaire Design Award competition each year to recognise excellence in the design of luminaires.

Nominations must be submitted in accordance with the Conditions of Entry and comprise the official Entry Form, Designer’s Statement, appropriate material on CD and the entry fee. In 2011, the entry fee is $260.00 for members and $325.00 for Non‐Members (including GST).

A1 size display boards comprising photographs and summary information will be required with all entries. Boards will be displayed at various IES functions and the RAIA Queensland headquarters.

This year we would like to encourage those who have interesting Visual effects or Artworks, Landscaping, Residential and Retail, as well as Major infrastructure or City master‐planning to consider entering the awards.

A reminder that nominations are not restricted to members of the society and that overseas project are also eligible for entry.

Nominators should note that the details supplied on the Entry Form for the Installation, Owner/Lessee, Lighting Designer(s) and Predominant Lighting Equipment Manufacturer will be used exactly as submitted on any certificate awarded. Any nominator requesting a variation to the certificate, once printed, will bear the full cost of reprinting the certificates.

It should also be noted that those parties to appear on the certificates should only be those that had a significant involvement in the design and for example, should not be a list of all lighting equipment manufacturers whose equipment had been specified and installed.

A copy of the judging criteria can be found on the national web site www.iesanz.org as a guide to applicants in preparing their Entry Description.

Nominations are not restricted to members of the Society but may be any person associated with a lighting installation including owners/lessees, consulting engineers, architects, lighting or interior designers or luminaire manufacturers/suppliers.

As in previous years, top award winners in Queensland may be invited to submit their installation for judging in the IESANZ Lighting Awards.

INCREDIBLE INDIA

Gillian Isoardi

Associate Lecturer ‐ Applied Optics Research Program

Queensland University of Technology

In February this year I embarked on a 2 week technical and cultural lighting tour of India, with fellow travellers from the University of Sydney. Armed with a camera, various medications and a basic knowledge of Australia’s World Cup team to get me through, I boarded a flight to Delhi. After climbing off the plane late in the evening, we woke early for our first introduction to the bustling city – a quiet, early‐morning stroll around the streets near our accommodation with our intrepid leader Warren Julian. As a familiar traveller to India (he has been visiting regularly for decades) he was able to point out some of the smaller details about the area that might interest lighting practitioners.

The first cultural visit began with a walk around Old Delhi. We abandoned the bus early into the day when it became obvious it would be faster to walk the narrow and traffic‐locked roads into the old town. We saw the amazing architecture and observed customs of different temples; Islamic, Hindu, Sikh and Jain. Jain temple, Old Delhi

Continuing on we took in the unique sights, sounds and smells of the old city – even managing to spot a few monkeys scampering over powerlines and roof tops – before continuing on the Red Fort.

The technical tours also began in Delhi, with a short trip to nearby Noida and the Halonix factory. The Halonix factory produces a significant proportion of the motor vehicle lamps sold around the world. The tour of this factory was fascinating, particularly to observe how the technical challenges of producing a lamp with such strict filament positioning requirements were resolved. Our hosts at Halonix were incredibly generous with their time and expertise, and we certainly learnt a lot about H3’s, H6’s and the local and international markets for motor vehicle lamps.

Generous hosts and warm welcomes were a recurring theme of the trip. Also in Delhi, we were very generously received by members of the Indian Society for Lighting Engineers (ISLE) who took us on a behind‐the‐scenes tour of a major track and field stadium used in the Commonwealth Games. Standing in the middle of the field with all of the lights on was an impressive view (so I am told, I was otherwise occupied that night recovering from Delhi belly).

On the education front, we visited the Lady Irwin College (a college of the University of Delhi), and listened to several of their Masters students present lighting related projects. Enthusiasm was high for lighting‐related discussion and we spoke about research and careers in lighting over the lunch they provided on the campus.

We saw so many amazing and historic sites; the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in Agra, the Palaces of the Wind and Water, the Maharaja’s City Palace and the Amber Fort in Jaipur. A highlight of Jaipur was an evening of Rajasthani entertainment, dancing, music, fire breathing and a hilarious puppet show.

Finally we made our way down to Chennai for Light India International, a conference and trade fair organized by the ISLE. The theme of the 3‐day event was ‘Green Lighting for a Greener World’. The first day of the conference began with presentations (in English) from local and international guests to lighting designers and engineers about topics ranging from LED technologies to standards and techniques for streetlighting in remote areas of India. The sessions were interesting and punctuated by occasional power losses as the air conditioner worked overtime to cool the convention hall loaded with lamp and luminaire exhibits.

We showed up to the second day of the conference interested in the topics of the day – educational presentations for electrical contractors on lighting techniques and technologies for energy efficiency. Unfortunately for me the presentations were in Hindi, but I was stunned to see how many people had filled the conference hall. The organizers had planned for more than 500 attendees and when I peered in from the back of the room I could still see people standing. This kind of support was a credit to both the organizers who were obviously delivering a relevant program and the electrical contractors who were taking an interest in education in energy efficiency (and did I mention that this was held on a Sunday?).

Overall it was fascinating trip, one that displayed the history and culture of the nation and offered insight into India’s growing market for everything (including lighting and energy). Plus, the group made it through with only 2 emergency hospital visits. Thank you must go to Stephanie Rogers‐Julian and Warren Julian for organizing the trip, the Indian Society for Lighting Engineers, and everyone who hosted us along the way, particularly Halonix and Lady Irwin College.


2010 INTRALUX STUDENT LUMINAIRE

DESIGN COMPETITION

The society’s most recent awards dinner saw another exciting Intralux Student Luminaire Design competition, with local students of lighting design, industrial design and product design working to express luminaire concepts surrounding the theme ‘working with light’. There were some impressive entries this year and we presented winners in two prize categories: ‘Best Overall Luminaire Design’ and the ‘Innovation Award’.

Best Overall Luminaire Design Award: Karla Straker ‐ Oni‐on

The winner for Best Overall Luminaire Design, receiving a $1500 prize was Karla Straker, for her entry the Oni‐on.

‘Oni‐on’ is a dynamic table lamp that changes form and colour over the course of the day – adding warmth and interest to environments like hospitals and homes. The intent of the product is to provide a more healthful lighting environment, and as the Onion reveals its layers, it cues users to the passage of time.Oni‐on was an aesthetically appealing, and technically accomplished product that the judges highlighted for its strong marketability across a number of sectors.

Innovation Award: Kimberley Wilson ‐ Doric

The winner for the Innovation award, receiving a $500 prize was Kimberley Wilson, for her entry the ‘Doric’.

Doric innovatively connects touch screen technology with the luminaire surface to change the way we work with light. It is a free‐standing column of light, with a touch‐responsive, wrap‐around, luminous surface to allow users to control the amount and direction of light it produces. The design is also sensitive to technical issues of installation and ongoing maintenance, allowing versatility in its application.

Thank you to all who participated in the competition, to our dedicated judging panel: David Tilbury, Tony Dowthwaite, Jason Bird and Steve Coyne; and thank you once again to our prize sponsor Intralux for their time and support in this competition.
