HEALTHCAREWe continue to see developments in the specialty field of healthcare lighting including systems for healthcare facilities and lighting in general that is more in tune with our physical and biological systems. With an increased effort to acknowledge the impact of light on health, the committee presents the following accepted products this year.

CONTROLS – SENSORSLighting control sensors continue to make advances, not only by combining features, but by incorporating new technologies that can simplify installation and commissioning.

Wattstopper’s

DW-311 and PW-

311 are the first

dual-technology

sensors that

also have the

capability of zero

to 10-V dimming. They have

out-of-the-box compatibility

with existing wiring, whether

or not a neutral wire is

available. This combination

of features can reduce the

number of control devices

needed in an application.

The

EasySense

is a fixture-

mounted

sensor from

Philips that is claimed to

be the easiest to use, and to

have the smallest form factor.

It combines daylighting,

occupancy sensing and

switching into one device that

uses a two-wire connection to

the driver. It is the first sensor

to offer full commissioning

through a phone application.

EnOcean’s MechoNet Daylight Sensor and Controller from Mecho Systems is the first to control window shades by reading daylight with a sensor that is photovoltaic powered. This wireless

communication platform allows the sensors to be wirelessly placed

on the window to determine outside light levels and sun conditions

for control of solar heat, daylighting and glare.

The Lightcloud Ceiling sensor from RAB Lighting is a passive infrared motion detector that can switch and dim both local and remote

circuits. This unique ceiling sensor can operate

as an occupancy or vacancy sensor and has isolated load control that

allows scheduled responses to the occupancy state of an indoor space.

The associated Lightcloud control interface uses an encrypted 2.4 GHz

self-healing mesh network that can communicate with remote servers

or smart devices via a private 3G cellular connection.

Moving from MRI suites

to the operating

room, statistics

reveal that

there are 1.7 million

hospital-acquired infections per

year. This year, the Progress Committee accepted the first

surgical suite luminaire, combining both white LED and

405 nanometers, Indigo LED light in the Kenall Med-Master M4SEDIC surgical light. Not to be confused with

UV, the indigo light has the ability to provide continuous

cleaning and disinfecting of the air and hard surfaces

from dangerous bacteria. The light at 405 nanometers

targets and excites naturally occurring molecules within

the bacteria creating a response similar to the effect

of wiping down surfaces with bleach in the creation of

an oxidative environment. Testing in cooperation with

several clinical partnerships in the U.S. has indicated a

continuous 70-plus percent reduction of harmful bacteria

in the environment.


2016 progress reportCONTROLLERSWith the expansion of wireless lighting systems, the controller is taking on more functions.

capabilities.

The Connected Lighting Module from OSRAM is the first

ZigBee HA protocol-based control module that is designed

to be flush-mounted directly to the luminaire. It enables the

OEMs to provide out-of-the-box control-ready luminaires

without being concerned about the manufacturer of the

ZigBee-based light management system.

Wattstopper LMRC-110 Series is a new zero to 10-V digital room controller

from Legrand. It is the first product available with optional measurement

of both voltage and current on the controlled switch leg. It

has both Class 1 and Class 2 terminals for the zero to 10-V

conductors that provides a code compliant solution for

wiring that bundles the load and control wiring.

The Wireless Controlled Lighting system eliminates the

complexity of commissioning while providing flexible and easily

reconfigurable wireless topology. This Eaton system is claimed to have the fastest wireless setup to meet California Title 24-

2013 code compliance, and do it economically.

Wattstopper offers a new, more robust

interface for their Segment Manager network

controller. This is the first offering of an

interface that automatically populates the

system with room tiles, eliminating the need

for custom graphic screens.

The Lutron Vive is a scalable,

retrofit solution that can be

installed and programmed

without factory support. The

hub is the first wireless device

to incorporate Wi-Fi, an RF

antenna, wireless router, web

server and native BACnet all

in one device. Up to 700 load

devices, wireless keypads

and wireless sensors can be

controlled under one hub.


LIFE SAFETYLife safety equipment, often referenced as emergency lighting, has been given its own category because of the unique features and safety listings this type of equipment must have.

ACCESSORIES

The Philips Bodine BSL 17C-C2ST Emergency LED Driver is the first family of LED drivers listed for field or OEM installation into

LED luminaires. This saves the time and cost to get the LED

emergency driver and the specific luminaire listed separately.

The driver is rated for Class 2 output, provides 700 to 800

lumens, or 7 watts, for 90 minutes in emergency mode, and

features automatic code compliance testing.

From Dual-Lite Hubbell, the EV4R is the first LED low-profile

recessed emergency light that is not concealed, has no moving

parts, and is intended to be fixed to the ceiling. The EV4R is the

first and only IC rated recessed LED emergency luminaire in the

market and features the widest spacing based on published

photometric data for a recessed LED emergency luminaire.

Penn Globe introduced the PennSMART Teres

retrofit for outdoor

pole luminaires. This

plug-and-play accessory

module can be installed

in existing sites to help

cities become smarter

and safer. This system

can combine lighting

controls with cameras,

speakers, audio alerts

and sensors using ZigBee

protocol as a basis for

communication.

In the

category of

Accessories,

as a first in

the industry,

United Power Research Technology Corporation has produced a hand-held flicker meter

that provides flicker and

harmonics analysis from

a frequency range of 5

to 2,000 Hz. It supports

Flicker Index, Percent

Flicker measurement and

Fourier-based metrics. The

meter also provides spectral

analysis.

A downlight kit utilizing tunable

white and ZigBee wireless protocol

is available from SYLVANIA with the addition of RGBW in the RT5/6

HO. Also using the LIGHTIFY app,

this luminaire can shift from 1900K

to 6500K, and offers full color

control. At 1,500 lumens, this

downlight product offers a unique

design feature for lower ceiling

applications.


2016 progress report2016 progress reportLIGHTING SYSTEMSThe rapid advancement of LEDs in general lighting, combined with the ability to digitally integrate components previously considered independent, has resulted in the need to consider lighting as a system. These submissions have resulted in the addition of the Lighting Systems category to the Progress Report.

RESEARCH PROGRESS REPORT 2017: A WHOLE NEW BALLGAMEThe timeline for submitting products, as well as the date of the Progress Report presentation, will change in 2017, as the IES Annual Conference in Portland, OR, shifts to a summer schedule (August 10-12). Manufacturers should take note of the following dates:• March 27: IES opens submittal website• May 29: Final date for web submittals• June 19-23: Submittal review meeting;

accept/non-accept notifications to submitters• August 11: Report presentation, Portland• November: Publication of the 2017 Progress

Report in LD+A

This distribution system, introduced

by Philips, also has the capability of delivering power and data over the

same cable, and adds the capability

of visible light communication, or VLC.

The VLC technology enables personal

control strategies using modulated

light communication with a mobile

device such as a smartphone or tablet.

Research from the Virginia Tech Transportation Department brings us an Evaluation of SPD on Driver

Performance. This research effort is the

most comprehensive evaluation of the

spectral effects from light sources ever

conducted in the driving environment.

The performance of over 100 drivers was

evaluated under three light sources at

a variety of light levels. This study is also the only investigation that

considered the interaction of overhead lighting and vehicle headlamps

to evaluate the overall impact of the visual environment.

This Distributed Low Voltage Power System from

Eaton carries a Class 2 rating and maintains similar electrical efficiencies

to line voltage systems and superior

electrical efficiencies to centralized low-

voltage systems. Besides improved DC

efficiencies, the system is simple to configure

using pre-terminated, plenum-rated cables that carry

power and communications within the same jacket to the

lighting equipment.

Cree has expanded on the capabilities of Power over

Ethernet coupled with visible light communication

to automate the commissioning of a lighting

system. With a single push, their OneButton setup

automatically groups luminaires with the switches

that are present in the room and calibrates the

luminaires for daylight harvesting.


PUBLICATIONSFour publications from the IES are in this year’s Report.

DESIGN TOOLSSoftware continues to improve and offer new and better features every year.

Outdoor Lighting for Airport

Environments, RP-37-15, is a

guide for fixed outdoor lighting

in and around the airport

environment. It provides

guidance for lighting in the

adjacent development vicinities

of the airport including areas

outside the airport property

line, while also taking into

account the special needs of the airport environment.

TM-30-15, Evaluating Light Source

Color Rendition, describes a

method for evaluating light source

color. It quantifies Fidelity Index

(Rf) and Gamut Index (Rg) of a light

source. TM-30 also generates a

color vector graphic and includes a

software tool to aid in calculations

and display of the results.

First is a revised introductory

lighting course comprised of

10 modules titled FOL-15 – The

Fundamentals of Lighting. It offers

10 comprehensive modules on

important topics for those new

to lighting. This edition has been

reorganized for better flow.

The IES/NALMCO Recommended

Practice for Lighting Maintenance,

RP-36-15, addresses common

lighting maintenance procedures.

It describes typical lighting

system behavior and covers

maintenance approaches that

can optimize lighting system

performance. It also discusses

proper disposal of components and examines troubleshooting

of system problems.

Lighting Analysts’ Annual Daylight

Simulation Software

is new, faster

software this year. In

the past, Radiance-

based software was

the only option to

create daylight simulations requiring substantial expertise and time.

What used to take several hours can now be completed in minutes.

The software accepts models built in both Autodesk Revit and AGi32.

Photopia for

SOLIDWORKS

from LTI

Optics is the

first tool to

allow optical

engineers to

design an optic directly inside of SOLIDWORKS, and then
