It has been one year since The Lighting Industry Association (LIA) announced Ayça Donaghy as the Association’s new Chief Executive Officer. At this time, she laid out her ambitious plans for her first 100 days in the role. Therefore, to celebrate the anniversary of her appointment, she is sharing how the organisation has worked to meet these goals.

With over 10 years of experience and senior positions in the electrical distribution and lighting industries, Ayça was selected as the perfect individual to take on the role of CEO and make a real difference from within the association. She says: “As the first year into my role as the CEO at the LIA closes, I want to provide an update on the incredible progress we have made in my first year. When I started, I recognised that the organisation needed new energy to create an environment for committed teams, engaged members, elevated alliances, increased visibility, and supporting sustainability. I am proud to say that we have made significant progress in achieving these goals.”

In terms of creating a committed team through increased recruitment, the LIA has focused on outreach and hiring for a range of new senior roles. This has included the appointment of a new Marketing Manager and a Business Administrator Apprentice, and the organisation is also currently recruiting for a Commercial and Training Manager, and a Technical Operations Manager.

The LIA has also seen its commitment to engaging members and reaching new members pay off through social media, networking, and events. The company’s LinkedIn following has reached over 11,000, and the social media presence of the organisation has also expanded to Instagram to reach new followers.

The LIA has hosted a range of events in 2023 which have gained excellent attendance and overwhelmingly positive feedback, including the AGM & Annual Lunch, the ICEL Emergency Lighting Conference 2023, and the Winter and Autumn Tech Forums 2023. Webinars have also been launched to success, such as the Tech Talks @ 2, Sustainability Illuminated, as well as the in-person Sustainability Illuminated Roundtable. The events calendar for 2024 is already impressive, with further events in the pipeline throughout the year to address key industry topics, and provide networking opportunities amongst our members, and the wider industry.

As well as cementing relationships with members, the LIA has also strengthened its alliances, connecting with leaders at partner organisations such as LightingEurope, CIBSE, SLL, ILP, HEA, IALD, EDA, ECA, BEAMA, CPA and Women in Lighting, to promote engagement and collaboration. The organisation has also built new relationships with companies that offer extension services that complement its work, including marketing support agencies, training, CRM, website providers, and associated organisations like ACID (Anti-Copying in Design) and MAKE UK.

Another key focus was on government advocacy and championing industry updates. The industry came together to shape our response to the Ecodesign Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) proposals, published by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) on January 10th, 2023. This was led by the LIA, working within the Lighting Liaison Group (The LLG). The LIA provided its members with the necessary information to complete their DESNZ consultation returns and submitted an in-depth evidence document to DESNZ. DESNZ have since confirmed that ‘they are currently working with Ministers, and they will provide an update on the publication of the government’s response as soon as possible. They also offered guidance on the change in regulation to the energy labelling of lamps which came into effect on the 1st October 2023, allowing those in the industry to prepare for the deadline and ensure that products were sold before that date.

The LIA has also proven its dedication to supporting sustainability, through the successful launch of the TM66 Assured Product Verification Scheme. This innovative initiative was developed and fulfilled by the LIA and endorsed by CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers), aiming to advance circular economy practices within the lighting industry.

Ayça adds: “I am incredibly proud that my first year as CEO has seen so many significant changes arise within the organisation. We will continue to deliver to this excellent standard, striving to create a more engaging and supportive environment and working towards government and sustainability initiatives that benefit both our members and the wider lighting community.”

The 29^th year of the prestigious SLL Young Lighter competition provided a high-profile opportunity for the four selected finalists to present their research at the popular UK lighting exhibition LiGHT 23 in November 2023. Anna Freiesleben, Project Lighting Designer at Michael Grubb Studio, shares insights into the process and inspiration behind her enlightening talk.

Anna proudly presented her topic Light Beyond Earth: Illuminating Life on Exoplanets. Her research explores how exoplanets set the scene for discovering unusual lighting effects and consequent challenges to the human circadian rhythm. This study proposes the creation of a futuristic ‘Exoplanet Lighting Design Guide’, initially focusing on the closest exoplanet to Earth: Proxima Centauri b.

Anna shares her inspiration behind this unique topic. She explains: “In summer 2022, the first images from the James Webb telescope were released, which showed aspects of space in super high definition, featuring glistening stars and an array of ethereal colours. This photographic publication was the catalyst for me to research light in space and I started looking deeper into astronomy imagery.

As lighting effects depend on the relationship between planets and their stars, this led me to look at the appearance of light on various exoplanets. In early 2023, I decided to submit a proposal for the Young Lighter competition and refined the study to focus upon the closest exoplanet to Earth: Proxima Centauri b.”

She also reveals how she began researching such a new and unexplored topic. When asked about her starting point, she explains: “I read articles, watched documentaries, listened to podcasts, and delved through the NASA website, which is full of helpful information and provides the latest research. I found information specific to Proxima Centauri b, and filtered out the aspects related to light. I considered how humans would live on the exoplanet and the unique challenges and opportunities of both natural and artificial lighting. Throughout each competition stage, I considered how the information could be presented through a strong visual image, drawing diagrams, maps and concept imagery to communicate the information in a clear and appealing way.”

There were several points of interest discovered while researching this topic. Anna explains: “I found it surprising how similar the characteristics of Proxima Centauri b are to Earth. Where the two planets differ, the extreme conditions are fascinating. The exoplanet’s special feature of perpetual sunset was the key characteristic which acted as a visual backdrop throughout my narrative. As no one has yet travelled to Proxima Centauri b, there are many aspects of life there which are still unknown. Setting my presentation in the future (2100) enabled me to create a pretext using the most likely scenarios, giving a basis to the guide and parameters for the light studies.”

To structure her topic, Anna informs us of the key points she wanted to convey: “Due to the visual appeal of space, I knew I wanted my research to convey an illustrated story. I used the three chapters of 1. Climate Catastrophe; 2. Light Beyond Earth; and 3. Illuminating Life on Exoplanets to narrate the journey from Earth to Proxima Centauri b. This structure linked back to current Earth climate research to provide justification for the guide, conveying the distinctive exoplanetary lighting conditions and providing bespoke lighting guidance. Whilst designing for life on Proxima Centauri b, I considered the three ecologies of mental, social and environmental. Through my presentation, I wanted to evoke interest in space and the concept of light beyond Earth. I hoped to encourage new ways of thinking about light and how to design for unusual contexts, pushing the boundaries of standard lighting design to prepare us for the future.”

Discussing what we can expect from the future of this topic, she said: “As a future Exoplanet Lighting Design Guide would require input from designers across the world, I would like to discuss the topic amongst international audiences. It would be great to collaborate with astrophysicists and bridge the gap between science and the arts, as a future in space will affect us all. As we learn more about exoplanets, the Exoplanet Lighting Design Guide can constantly expand to contain the latest scientific research. There are thought to be 59 potentially habitable exoplanets amongst an estimated total of 11 billion, so the opportunities for discovering and responding to unusual lighting effects are endless.”

 

Anna’s presentation ultimately looks to answer the question: What are the future lighting conditions humans may face, and how do we design for these unfamiliar contexts? Her illuminating research is relevant for the future of lighting and design and raises thought-provoking questions about light and space.

The Light Lab contributed bespoke lighting to the relocation of London College of Fashion,

University of the Arts London, to its state-of-the-art, purpose built site at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on the Stratford Waterfront. Allies and Morrison & Buro Happold specified our expertise to fabricate our bespoke LED handrail fitting ‘Glowrail’ in a custom timber finish, spanning 15 stories throughout the new building.

Internally, Buro Happold’s structural team devised innovative solutions for the complex spaces radiating from the central atrium and circulation space, known as the ‘Heart’.

One such solution was the ‘Heart Wall,’ a concrete frame comprising columns and beams that establishes a boundary between the central core and surrounding workshop spaces.

This structure provides primary stability while retaining flexibility in space utilization and service provision.

Our specialist team manufactured and installed over 430m of custom timber LED handrail, incorporating helical, curved, and straight sections, seamlessly integrating with the sweeping concrete ‘heart wall’ stair and adjoining black steel staircases; wall mounted with custom black powder coated steel brackets.

Mastering an unfinished surface presents a unique design challenge, as production director Marcus Cave describes;

“Fixing to a concrete surface demands complete precision, as there’s no room for touch-ups. 

To address this, our team devised a bespoke fixing method, which involved casting a spigot into pre-drilled holes

in the concrete and attaching our bracket directly — so accuracy was key! 

The team did a fantastic job, delivering this perfectly on a hugely impressive build.

Sincere thanks to Buro Happold for the opportunity with our Glowrail product. We’re thrilled with the result!”

The new home for UAL’s London College of Fashion is conceived as a 21st-century workshop, drawing inspiration from 19th-century mill buildings. Outwardly simple, unpretentious, and robust; it accommodates multiple complex and process-driven internal arrangements, ensuring adaptability to change. The new campus has also now achieved

BREEAM Outstanding certification, with Buro Happold delivering engineering strategies that will achieve a 39% reduction in CO2 emissions against the original brief,

The relocation of LCF consolidates departments spread across six London sites for the first time, making it one of the world’s largest dedicated spaces for the study and research of fashion upon completion.

Leading lighting design consultants, Lighting Design International (LDI) have added another glamorous project to their portfolio having created the lighting design for a new social dining centre in Riyadh. 

Al Mamlaka Social Dining is a new multi-cuisine food experience in the Saudi Arabian capital. It is located inside the Kingdom Tower and forms part of the shopping mall housed within the striking skyscraper.

The Al Mamlaka is the first restaurant in Riyadh where diners can experience high-quality food from all over the world, under the same roof – and it is open for nearly 24 hours each day. This new offering is a sophisticated space, and the lighting needed to mirror this. 

Lighting Design International was chosen to deliver the lighting scheme for the new dining hall. Their appointment came following a recommendation, based on the team’s wealth of experience in lighting food hall projects and food retail.

The first attention-grabbing feature in the establishment is the coffee and cocktails station. This was a significant focal point for LDI – as it is the first sight guests see when they first enter the restaurant, it had to look incredible; drawing people into the space and delivering an ultimate first impression. 

The LDI team has used linear lighting around the canopy of the coffee counter, which offers a continuous ray of light, creating an impressive and stunning scene. 

LDI has introduced plinth-level lighting alongside lighting at the front of the panelling to the counter. Pendants provide an accent on the backstone, while task lights have been added at either side of the counter for baristas to safely carry out their work. Taking all of the elements together, LDI has created a multi-layered canopy. 

The overall space of the dining experience is vast, and LDI was commissioned to create the lighting design for all areas. This includes the areas between the kitchen and the counters, as guests have a great deal of visibility of these areas.

Each counter has a similar approach in terms of design so there are decorative lights around the signages, concealed linear lighting to uplight the menus. Ceramic pendants also drop around the counters, and in between these sit mini downlights. While the pendants give a glow, LDI wanted to add a pool of light onto the countertops, so the downlights have been used to provide an additional accent.

The same approach has been reflected in the dining area, with the decorative lights made of fabric, partnered with rattan pendants. Two different variations have been used. Track lights pin spot the tables, which was an important part of the lighting design. 

A notable, beautiful detail is the glowing light under the banquette and counter, radiating into the floor. 

All of the linear lighting was 2400K, which adds a warm depth. The architectural lighting is 2700K, and the lamps inside the pendants are 2200K. It was important for LDI to create warmth from the pendant, coupled with the accent lighting on the tables. Illuminating the plants was also key – as a very green, leafy restaurant, these plants needed to be showcased. 

Lighting has also been integrated between the banquette, uplighting the green features. This makes the accents very visible to the guests. Uplights in the planters throw patterns onto the columns, while lighting up the banquette. The window reveals are also uplit. 

Another important element of the design is to use light to guide guests from the door right to the very end of the restaurant. The lighting helps to direct diners to their desired location and different areas. As a demonstration of this, pools of light on the floor invite people to follow them from the coffee and cocktails, all the way to the patisserie at the very back of the dining space. 

Elsewhere in the space, the deli station has a completely different canopy and a unique interior approach, with a beautiful display. LDI has placed the lighting at the back of the pods, spices and books, to create a silhouette element at the front. The team specified the lighting in the fridges so that the colour is harmonious throughout, with a consistent quality too.  

Attention has been paid to all areas, including the restrooms. There is a contrast between being slightly darker and more intimate in the cubicles, but light as you come out into the vanity area. There are downlights in the vanity, and a wash over the ceiling as well as halo lighting detail around the mirrors.

LDI has also made sure to highlight the natural and earthy materials used throughout the refit, by drawing attention to these through numerous uplights in the floor. The features include the cane panels of the doors, and rattan wrapping around the columns. 

Moving to the outside, the exterior lighting is focused on being really tempting and inviting. The tendency in the Middle East is to use whiter light 3000-3500K, but LDI wanted to keep everything warm; giving the luxury refined experience and Michelin-star look.

On the facade, LDI has highlighted the copper finish that wraps the canopy and the greenery. This was to showcase the integration of nature into this public space.

Arianna Ghezzi, Associate at Lighting Design International, said “As the project entailed reworking an existing building rather than a new build, we had to work within several constraints and limitations.

“We have created a multi-discipline scheme that oozes sophistication and sets Al Mamlaka apart from everyday, standard food halls. As an almost 24-hour establishment, we needed to move the lighting along as the day faded and the nighttime set in.

“We achieved this by programming all of the lighting across the hall, with four different scenes. These are lighter during the day, with more atmospheric, moody lighting during the night. A podium and a stage can be added to the space, so the lighting needs to support a party mood for these occasions.

“The new dining experience of Al Mamlaka is certainly something unique, and the lighting is a key part of making guests know they are somewhere special.”

Twelve floors of premium office space in the heart of London have undergone an extensive renovation, featuring the very latest in lighting and facilities management technology. 

Electrical contractor, Bridgegate Electrical, utilised the services of lighting firm Silent Design, who partnered with connectivity experts Tridonic to create a cutting-edge system that fulfilled the client’s needs and created an incredible home for its occupants.  

Located in the heart of London’s Fitrzrovia district, the MET Building offers 168,843 sq ft of luxurious office space. Rising to 12 floors, the attractive building aims to offer a unique experience for its occupants, including a dedicated events space and yoga deck. There is even a space for cyclists to not only store their bikes, but repair them too.  

Further enhancing the appeal of the MET Building is its biophilic design, increasing the connectivity of the occupants to nature and the natural world. These design principles have been enhanced through ample access to natural daylight and a lighting scheme that works in harmony with occupants’ circadian rhythms. 

The building owner wanted to create innovative and cutting-edge spaces that allowed users to maintain their own areas easily, while also having the ability to change settings as required, which was achieved by using Tridonic’s sceneCOM Evo system. 

The specification also required DALI control with DALI 2 sensors and input devices, along with DALI emergency monitoring at a centralised location, AV integration, fire alarm and last-man-out interfaces. It was also important to integrate tuneable white and circadian rhythm for parts of the open plan spaces that were further than 8m away from the windows. This also included daylight dimming and water solenoid valve control. The system needed to be scalable and user-friendly, and provided from a trusted brand.  

Dan Bamforth, UK controls and solutions manager for Tridonic, said: “Tridonic’s sceneCOM Evo-DALI control and DALI emergency monitoring were ideal to create easy configuration of spaces. The sceneCOM device features DALI 2 compatibility, allowing for easy networking of a number of other outputs.  

“The sceneCOM Evo also allows for custom white lighting profiles that adjust the colour temperature throughout the day automatically. This mimics natural daylight, matching the circadian rhythm of occupants to enhance their wellbeing.”  

A variety of lights and inputs are controlled by the sceneCOM Evo including a total of 5,700 DALI addresses for lighting and emergency lighting, including 1,100 DALI DT8 and DALI DT6 luminaires, with tuneable while LEDs. It also controls 880 DALI 2 PIRs and 67 DALI 2 switch inputs. 

The system also enables extensive data collection and turns luminaires into smart devices that can communicate their health and maintenance needs, to better support facilities management and predictive maintenance. 

John Bowden from Silent Design, specified Tridonic with the project. He said: “The MET Building is a shining example of how DALI devices can be harnessed to produce a number of key benefits including an intelligent, intuitive commercial space. Having worked with Tridonic previously, we were confident that their portfolio of expertly developed connectivity solutions would provide everything we needed to deliver the client’s needs.” 

Dan from Tridonic, added: “The intelligent design of our sceneCOM Evo was the ideal solution for this project. As well as offering unrivalled control, it enables extensive data collection which can be hugely beneficial for commercial property owners and operators. As a result of the new system, the MET Building is a beautifully in-tune premises, with state-of-the-art lighting features that provide a positive lasting impact upon its occupants.”

The government launched the eagerly anticipated WEEE consultation on 28 December 2023. A range of measures are proposed within the joint UK Government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Northern Ireland Executive consultation.

Recolight are pleased to see that the initial policy proposals cover what had been expected. The reform of the WEEE regulations is intended to encourage greater reuse and collection of waste electricals . And for products that cannot be reused, or remanufactured, proposals are in place to make it easier for consumers to recycle

There are two separate consultations – firstly proposals for short term regulatory change, and secondly, a call for evidence in other areas, to aid the development of new policy proposals.

Proposals for short term regulatory change

• Free of charge collection of WEEE for consumers
  In essence, providing householders with free of charge collection of both small WEEE, and also of bulky WEEE, financed by the producers of new products.
• Enhanced options for consumer takeback via retailers
  This includes strengthened obligations on retailers, in particular free collection of used appliances when delivering new appliances, and simpler in-store take back options for consumers.
• Tackling non-compliant product sold via online marketplaces.
  The government propose a new class of producer. This would require online marketplaces to take on the financial obligations for collection and treatment of their overseas sellers. This would be consistent with the current packaging reforms.
• New category for vapes.
  Establishment of a new category for vapes to ensure the cost of collection and treatment of these products is correctly borne by vape producers – and not by other producers
• Setting up a new central WEEE administration body
  This would manage several functions currently undertaken by various organisations, together with managing household WEEE collections, to control costs.

 

Call for evidence

The call for evidence invites stakeholders to provide input into future policy development in a range of areas.  This includes measures to incentivise better eco-design of new products, requiring producers to finance fly-tipped WEEE, incentivising reuse over recycling, and providing business end users with easier to access WEEE collections.

Recolight response

Commenting on the launch of the consultations, Recolight Chief Executive Nigel Harvey said “This consultation is long overdue, but it is pleasing that it has prioritised some ‘quick wins’ for early implementation. For the lighting industry, the most important is no doubt action to end the scourge of WEEE non-compliance through online marketplaces.  Research has shown that the overwhelming majority of smaller electrical products, such as light bulbs, offered for sale through online marketplaces do not comply with the WEEE regulations.  The proposed changes will require marketplaces to finance the WEEE obligations of products from outside the UK sold via their platform.  For the lighting industry, this cannot happen soon enough.”

He added “We also welcome the proposed changes to make it easier for consumers to recycle, via household collections and enhanced retailer takeback obligations.  Research has shown that some 155,000 tonnes of WEEE are discarded each year in the residual waste.  And yet, increasing producer targets has not increased WEEE collections.  Instead, what is needed, is an expansion of the options open to consumers to recycle.  There is ample evidence that shows consumers will recycle when the infrastructure, and communications are in place.”

 

Next steps

The Consultation will run for 10 weeks. Recolight will be working closely with scheme members to gather views and to develop a response that seeks to ensure changes will work well.

Tina Taylor from Tridonic picked up the award on behalf of the team at Spennymoor

 

Members of the team from Tridonic’s Spennymoor Manufacturing and R&D Facility have picked up a regional award for its dedication and commitment to educating the next generation, through a range of STEM-based initiatives.

Working with the local schools, colleges and the Northeast Institute of Technology, Tridonic has launched an extensive programme of learning opportunities that include apprenticeships, T-levels and NVQ Level 2 qualifications, and exposure to STEM in action, for younger students.

The award recognises the number of hours spent by Tridonic’s six STEM ambassadors – who work across different departments from within the business – who actively participate in school visits; host factory tours and assist in the education and training of students on a range of qualifications.

Over 3,000 children and young people have been engaged through the scheme, from school talks to completion of one of a host of qualifications. The successful programme has resulted in two students being offered permanent employment at Tridonic.

Ben Kennard, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Manager at Spennymoor, enrolled Tridonic onto the programme. He said: “This award is the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication from our six STEM ambassadors, who are members of the team from different departments within the site, who take time out of their working week to help educate young people and encourage them to examine a career in this field.

“Getting involved with the programme was my way of giving something back to the next generation, while ensuring a pipeline of talent for future generations – something that is under constant threat in our sector.

“The award is a great reflection on the team’s hard work and we are looking forward to growing our programme by recruiting more ambassadors to help engage with and enthuse more young people through our technologies and expertise – and ultimately – offer more employment opportunities to students across the Northeast.”

Dawn Ross, STEM Hub Liaison Coordinator at RTC North, said: “We are delighted to give Tridonic this award for the ‘largest number of active STEM Ambassadors from a North East SME’ Since they first registered they have shown such commitment to the programme. It’s a testament to the dedication and expertise of their team.”
