QUEENSLAND CHAPTER PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Wishing you all the best for the year 2011 from the management committee, it has been a difficult start to the year and we hope that you are all safe and well from the floods and cyclone. The ground floor at RAIA was badly damaged by the flood and will be completely out of action for the next two months (information included). Our first QLD CMC was held at Steve Coyne’s office (Thank you Steve) and will be held there until we can go back to normal.

2011 is upon us – and already this year has marked itself as one of challenge and change. January’s floods and cyclones have left Queensland slightly battered, and left many Queenslanders with an arduous journey to restoration. I hope that you, your family and friends are safe and well.

This year introduces some changes for IES QLD as well. I would like to welcome Patrick Rident‐Tiercelet as the new Chapter President in 2011. Patrick has extensive experience in the IES in both NSW and QLD, and I am pleased to hand over to someone so capable and enthusiastic about working to benefit our industry.

This year will be marked by Australia’s lighting industry SPARC event in Sydney 6‐8 June, it is Australia’s first major event for the International Lighting Community and many of us are expecting to be part of it.

One of my last items of business as outgoing president took place earlier this year. Most will be familiar with the Australian Institute of Architects building on Merivale Street at South Brisbane. The IES has used the site for technical and committee meetings, social events and storage of our local chapter’s archives and materials. Unfortunately, the Institute building was in the flood’s path and saw more than 1 m of water through its doors. I was there on the Saturday the waters subsided to pick through the remnants of what the IES QLD has collected over many years; files, pictures, text books and curios. I was greeted by a mass of people, architects and students pitching in, who altogether made fast work of stripping the damaged building and cleaning out mud. Like many places around Queensland, the community support was stunning.

The IES is looking at bringing a new revitalising website and a demonstration is expected to be showed to the IES board, at the end of February, before its final approval and operation, we are soon to discover it.

At chapter level in QLD we are welcoming the introduction this year a new event called ‘Objective Light’. It is based on a format already used in coordination with an IES chapter subcommittee and organised by a team of young lighting practitioners. We are looking forward to the first event sometimes this year.

The awards sub‐committee is currently debating the introduction of two new awards in relation to complement the existing lighting design awards which hopefully, in time, will be implemented this year, something to follow up in months to come.

At the end of the day, many muddy possessions were on the footpath and the building had been prepared for what will no doubt be a long process of rebuilding and refurbishing. The IES has offered its support to the AIA in this process as a thank you for all of the work and support we have received as a society from the Institute staff over the years.

Thank you to all who have helped me during my time as chapter president, it has been a rewarding experience and has made me appreciate the diverse talents and wealth of knowledge available in our membership.

GILLIAN ISOARDI

2010 QLD IES CHAPTER PRESIDENT

The newsletter is going through some changes and we are committed to having it published every month this year. In regards to our agenda this year, a few dates will be included in this first edition. We are reluctant to put forward dates that are not yet cemented and I suggest that you keep checking every month as new confirmed dates will be added.

I am very pleased to announce that I will be the new chair person of the IES QLD chapter, thank you to Gillian Isoardi (outgoing chapter president) and the QLD Chapter committee members for supporting my nomination.

I look forward to the coming year as your Chapter President, watch your French!

QLIDA & QLUDA FEATURE

LIGHTING AND LUMINAIRES AWARDS PRESENTATION AND ANNUAL DINNER

The 2010 awards dinner saw one of the biggest dinners the IESANZ Queensland Chapter has held. I'm sure there were moments of Dr Karl's presentations that we will all remember for many years to come.

I would like to take this moment to thank the entire lighting community for its support of this event. I would like to thank all of our sponsors, without your support the dinner would not be possible, I would like to say an additional thank you to our Platinum Sponsors, Raylinc Lighting and 3S Lighting.

Work is already underway for the 2011 awards dinner with date, bigger venue and MC to be confirmed in the coming weeks and will be announced in the next issue of Arcus.

LED:

Why absolute photometry should be used

A common way of testing LEDs is with junction or thermal pad temperature set to 25°C. The thermal pad, shown in the Picture 1, is a metal footprint on the printed circuit board underneath the LED used for heat transfer between the LED and the heat sink. The fact is that during the normal operation, the temperature of the thermal pad can not be maintained at 25°C; it can easily reach 80, 90 or even 125°C, depending on the luminaire design and thermal management within the luminaire.

Switching to absolute photometry is one of the fundamental changes in photometric test procedures introduced with LED sources.

Traditional luminaires using incandescent, high intensity discharge and fluorescent lamps rely on relative photometry.

LED luminaires are a lot more integrated then traditional light source luminaires, because there is a functional relationship between the LED and luminaire body that affects the output of the LED itself. In most cases a luminaire body is a very important part of the thermal, optical and electrical design. Due to significantly different thermal conditions an LED source when measured outside the luminaire, is likely to produce very different light output characteristics. Even if an LED source can be separated and measured, the traditional relative photometry measurement can not be applied to LEDs.

Figure 2: Normalised lumen output as a function of thermal pad temperature

Source: Philips Data Sheet DS63: www.philipslumileds.com/uploads/20/DS63

The graph shown in Figure 2 shows the lumen degradation for one of the LEDs currently available in the market as a function of the temperature of an appropriately coupled thermal pad. The graph below shows that if the thermal pad temperature increases to 125°C, the LED light output reduces by more than 20%.

Since the thermal conditions within the luminaire can significantly affect the LED light output, relative photometry can not be used as an accurate method to test LED luminaire performance.

With traditional light sources relative photometry has been used because it provides consistent photometric reports from various test labs regardless of lamp used. It does this by simply measuring the optical efficiency of the luminaire. The lamps used by individual test laboratories have been factored out and therefore the test reports provide data about the luminaire not the lamp used. The advantage of absolute testing is that the report presents true performance of a complete LED luminaire.

That becomes very important as the performance of an LED luminaire greatly depends on LED technology, LED binning, applied current, as well as thermal management characteristics as explained above. Extrapolating results from the raw LED data can be very inaccurate and misleading.

The data from various luminaires manufacturers are still presented in various formats, which makes it difficult to compare true performance of LED luminaires. To overcome this issue, the Illumination Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) has developed an Approved Method for Electrical and Photometric Measurements of Solid‐State Lighting (LM‐79).
