Rushlights
Rushlights were very cheap and easy to make
(and have been used since the Middle Ages).
Candles were expensive, both due to the
materials and because they were taxed. So
poor families needed a cheaper means of
illumination. Rushlights were made by taking
a rush (or even a splinter of wood) and
dipping it in grease. Rushes were cut fresh
and then soaked. Soaking them made it easier
to peel off the hard outer skin. Then the rush
would be dipped in mutton grease (or other
animal fat). There were special holders for
rush lights that pinched the wood between
metal pliers.
Once the rush burned down to the pinchers,
the light went out. Obviously, rushlights did
not burn for very long so you'd have to keep
burning new ones if you weren't going to bed
1809
Humphry Davy, an
English chemist, used a
high powered battery
to induce an electrical
current between two
strips of charcoal. The
current
flow through the high
impedance material
induced light creating
the first arc lamp. 1823
By 1823 there were 40,000 gas
street lamps, lighting 213
streets in London.
1841
Frederik de Moleyns, received the first patent
for an incandescent lamp. The design
specifications involved mounting a powdered
charcoal filament between two platinum wires
in a glass bulb under vacuum. As the filament
reacted at high temperature with air,
the air present in the lamp was evacuated to
extend filament life.
1845
W.E. Staite, an American, patented
a second incandescent electric
lamp in England. Thomas Wright
obtained the first patent for the arc
lamp.
1860
John T. Way demonstrated that sending
electricity through mercury vapour
contained in a glass tube could produce
light, the precedent for the development of
the modern fluorescent light.
The electric current that ran through
the vaporised mercury excited that gas to a
higher energy state. As the excited gas
atoms return to their ground energy,
their excess energy is given off as visible
light.
Mid 1870s
Electricity revolutionised London from the
mid-1870s. As well as providing bright lighting
for streets and theatres, it also powered lifts
and escalators.
1879
Both Thomas A. Edison of the United States and Joseph
Wilson Swan of England, produced carbon filament
incandescent lamps that burned for a practical length
of time. Edison used carbon fibre derived from cotton.
His first bulbs lasted for 13.5 hours. Later improved
bulbs of this design lasted for 40 hours.
1906
General Electric Company patented a method
for making tungsten filaments for use in
incandescent lamps. The high melting point of
tungsten, (3,410˚C), its low vapour pressure,
hence low evaporation rate at high
temperature, and relatively low cost provided
clear advantages over previous filament
materials.
1850s
By the 1850s gas lighting in theatres has spread
almost world-wide. The theatre that used the most
gas lighting was the Astley's Equestrian
Amphitheatre in London. According to the
Illustrated London News 'Everywhere white and gold
meets the eye, and about 200,000 gas jets add to the
glittering effect of the auditorium … such a blaze of
light and splendour has scarcely ever witnessed,
even in dreams. 'Theatres were switching over to gas
lighting not just because it was more economical
than using candles but also required less labor to
operate. With gas lighting, theatres would no longer
need to have people tending to candles during a
performance, or having to light each candle
individually.“It was easier to light a row of gas jets
than a greater quantity of candles high in the air.”
(Pilbrow 174). Theatres also no longer need to worry
about wax dripping on the actors during a show.
1868
The first traffic light lanterns were invented by J.P.
Knight. London is believed to be the first city with a
traffic light. In the 1860s, London had intersections
near the House of Parliament that had rotating
lanterns with red and green lights that helped control
horse-and-buggy traffic. Less than a month after the
lights were installed the lamp blew up seriously
injuring the policeman who was operating it.
1880
Edison discovered that bamboo produced a better carbon
fibre filament. The new lamps lasted for 1200 hours.
1881
The first electric street lighting to light Britain
were experimental arrays of arc lamps to light
Holburn Viaduct and the Thames Embankment.
More than 4,000 were used in 1881.
1904
Willis R. Whitnew developed
a metallized, or metal coated,
carbon filament that
preceded the development
of the tungsten filament.
1907
The first commercial tungsten filament for
incandescent lamps became available.
Tungsten wire manufacturing was still costly
and difficult.
1800
In the 18th century groups of men called
Improvement Commissioners or
Pavement Commissioners were formed.
They had powers to pave, clean and
light streets with oil lamps.
1807
Though gas lamps were used on a couple of
London streets as early as August 1807, it was
not a common light source in the Regency
period. During the Georgian/early Regency era,
street lamps typically used whale oil.
1817
Around 1817, London theatres started
to use gas lighting and there were other
big towns that were partially lit by gas
1819
It wasn't until 1819 that 288 miles of gas lines
were laid throughout London to light up
the streets and public areas of the city.
1820
The first known attempt to produce
an incandescent light bulb.
1840
William Robert Grove an English
scientist, succeeded in lighting an
auditorium with incandescent
lamps.
The lamps were constructed of
platinum coils encased in an
inverted glass sealed by water.
Unfortunately, the platinum coil
lamps were too expensive and
impractical for commercial use.
1846
John Daper patented a platinum filament incandescent
electric lamp. The high melting point of the filament
allowed it to operate at a higher temperature than many
other metallic elements that were tested.
Due to a phenomena known as black body radiation,
higher temperature filaments produce more visible light.
The high cost and scarcity of platinum deemed this
design impractical for widespread commercial use.

A Brief Hist

FUTUREDESIGNS

DESIGNS
1925
Incandescent bulbs
with frosted glass
interiors were produced.
The frosted glass filters
out undesirable
wavelengths of light
emitted by the filament
to produce a 'soft' light.
1938
GE invents the fluorescent lamp.
This is the first practical
low-pressure discharge lamp
to provide white light.
1939
The T12 fluorescent lamp
was launched.
MID 1960s
The first light emitting diode (LED)
was invented.
These first LEDs were red and later used
as indicators in many applications.
1970s
A vast colour range of green, yellow
and orange LEDs were invented.
There was also the discovery and
development of high conductivity
polymers which later become used
in Organic LEDs (OLEDs).
1930
Photo flash bulbs were
introduced in photography.
1939
Britain was blacked out on 1st September
1939, two days before the outbreak of war.
Street lights were switched off or dimmed
and shielded. Traffic lights and vehicle
headlights were fitted with slotted covers
to deflect the beam downward.
Tragically thousands of people died in road
accidents due to this.
Other people were injured in the Blackout
because they could not see in the darkness.
1947
After World War II Oslo gave
the gift of a Christmas tree to the
people of Britain as a token of
gratitude for the support to Norway
during the war.
Every year since then a tree is
donated by Norway and displayed in
Trafalgar Square to celebrate this and
each year the tree the tree has a
lighting ceremony which takes place
the first Thursday of December.
Thousands of people witness the
lights being switched on every year.
1960
Brighter halogen-filled incandescent lamps
were introduced. Halogen gas slows the
filament evaporation rate allowing it to operate
at higher temperatures.
EARLY 1980s
LEDs continued to improve in
light output.
Superior LEDs were developed
with new technologies.
1981
The T8 fluorescent lamp was launched.
1987
First working Organic LED development.
1995
The T5 fluorescent lamp was launched.
2008
First OLED lighting applications demonstrated.
2009
In 2009 Tower Bridge was lit using LED.
Due to their being so much natural light
during the day the lighting was not required
to make such an impact as the night time
lighting, however in the winter months on a
gloomy London day, track lighting provides
adequate light for the thousands of tourists
passing through.
2007
In July of 2007 British Gas lamp attendants turned back
the clock at a special ceremony in Westminster to mark
two hundred years of lighting London's historic gas
street lights. A green plaque was unveiled by the Lord
Mayor of Westminster, Councillor Carolyn Keen, to
celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the first
gas lights being built in the capital in 1807.
To mark the occasion, British Gas' longest-serving lamp
attendant Martin Caulfield also lit a lamp using the
traditional pole for the first time since they were
switched to an automatic timing system in 1985.
2010
A lighting tower is lifted into place on the Olympic Stadium. The 28m high lighting
towers sit on top of the inner ring of the venue's cable net roof. These floodlight were
switched on at a ceremony on 20th December. Prime Minister David Cameron
switched on the lights at 1815 GMT and commended the team for the 'great job'.
There are 14 lighting towers reaching 70m above the sports area.
They are supporting a total of 532 individual lights, which took some time to warm
up. The prime minister added: 'In just one year, seven months, seven days, two hours
and about 12 minutes, the biggest show in the world comes to town'.
OLED - FUTURE OF LIGHTING
OLEDs are the next progression and development of
LEDs. Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) seem
destined to be a clean, eco-friendly solution to lighting
in the very near future. OLEDs are basically LEDs whose
electroluminescent surface layer is composed of organic
compounds. The compounds can easily be laid down in
rows and columns on a polymer substance that holds
them in place. OLEDs can be used for television and
computer screens as well as lighting. The OLEDs'
advantage over LCDs lies in the fact that they require no
backlight, allowing them to operate on far less power,
and thus far longer on a single charge.
1988
Canary Wharf was constructed and as this
was currently the highest building one
of the fundamental features is the pyramid
roof which contains a flashing aircraft
warning light.
1991
Philips developed a light bulb
that uses magnetic induction
to excite a gas to emit light.
There are no parts to wear out
in this design, so the expected
lifetime for a bulb
is 60,000 hours.
MID 1990s
High-brightness
blue LED
was invented.
1998
A light sculpture of 'Traffic Light Tree' was
funded and produced by the Public Art
Commissions Agency situated just beyond
the Canary Wharf estate. The arbitrary cycle
of light changes are not supposed
to mimic the seasonal rhythm of nature, but
the restlessness of Canary Wharf.
2011
As part of the continuing effort
to reduce energy consumption
the Upper Thames Street
project is the first tunnel in the UK
to be provided with a fully linear lighting
instillation exclusively provided
using LED technology.
LED - THE PRESENT
AND FUTURE OF LIGHTING
LED is rapidly replacing traditional
fluorescent and incandescent sources. A light
emitting diode consists of multiple layers of
semi-conducting material. When the diode is
being used with direct current, light is
produced in the active layer. The light
produced is decoupled directly or by
reflections. In contrast to incandescent
reflector lamps, which emit a continuous
spectrum, an LED emits light in a particular
colour. The light's colour depends on the
semiconductor material used. Two material
systems are mainly used, in order to produce
LEDs with a high degree of rightness in all
colours from blue to red and, by means of
luminescence conversion, also in white.
BIOLIGHT - FUTURE OF LIGHTING
Philips released details about their
innovative research in renewable and
naturally inspired lighting. BioLight is a
look into utilising glowing bacteria to
eventually light our homes without the
use of electricity. The same way certain
fireflies and insects species glow at
night, certain bacteria carry the same
genes and figured out a way to
concentrate that light at impressive
levels.
Bio-luminesence is created by a
chemical reaction where an enzyme
called luciferase interacts with a
light-emitting molecule called luciferin.
A steel frame that holds various glass
jars with liquid holding a high
concentrate of light emitting bacteria
could be the future of 'natural lighting'
in the modern home.

Sustainability We start considering
the environment long
before the lights go on.
At FUTURE Designs we
recognise that good energy
performance is sound financial
management. With ever
increasing energy prices, the
introduction of carbon taxes
and increased volatility in
energy markets, the energy
performance of a building
is moving up the agenda of
owners and occupiers alike.
We have always produced
high efficiency, low energy
luminaires but we are
constantly striving to do even
more. Giving you useful
light in the right places for
lower energy input is our aim
and we do this with not just
highly efficient luminaires,
but efficient control systems,
dimmers, presence and
daylight detectors.
Reduced energy use means
lower carbon emissions for the
entire life of the product. We
have also continually worked
towards creating less waste
and fewer emissions in our
manufacturing process.
Responsibility
We are fully committed to taking responsibility for our products,
designing for low impact and low waste manufacture and
designing for end of life. The primary elements of steel,
aluminium, glass, plastic and copper can be recovered and re-
used.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is a regulation
which governs the safe collection, treatment, recovery and
environmentally sound disposal of electronic products. As a
registered member of Lumicom we can ensure that we adhere to
the directive and ensure that our products are ‘reused, recycled &
recovered’ in an environmentally friendly way.

In creating a dynamic and visually stimulating lighting scheme there are a
number of factors to consider:
• The client design brief
• The tasks to be carried out in the space
• How the space will be used
• The persons using the space
• The type of lighting; should it be direct, indirect or both
• Feature lighting
• Perimeter lighting
• Ceiling heights & void restrictions. Certain luminaires may
not suit a low ceiling
• Building services, including any beams, air conditioning
units etc.
• Ceiling heights
• Interior finishes and design
• Furniture layout
• Lighting control, presence & daylight detectors
• Consult lighting guides

LIGHTINGGUIDE
As part of BS EN
12464-1:2011 the guide
wants us to look at
how lighting interacts
with the space and the
persons within.
As the way we work
changes, lighting
has to adapt. Face to
face communication,
video conferencing,
hot desking and
collaborative spaces
require lighting for
visual communication
and good facial
modelling.
These can be checked
by looking at the
Cylindrical Illuminance
and Horizontal Task
Lighting.
Cylindrical Illuminance
Cylindrical illuminance measures the
vertical illuminance, the amount of
light falling on a persons face. The
recommendation is a mean Cylindrical
Illuminance of 150lux with a uniformity
of 0.1 at standing (1.6m) and sitting
(1.2m).
Task Illuminance
Lighting for task is an energy efficient way of lighting a
space and thus eliminating wasteful light.
The task area is often seen as the computer screen on a
typical desk of 1.5m x 0.75m. The actual task may occur
anywhere on this surface.
Tasks should be lit to between 300 and 500lux (minimum
300lux for computer based tasks).
The Immediate Surround area is an area at least 0.5m
around the task. If the desking layout is unknown then
the Immediate Surround areas should not be less than
300lux.
Background Area is the area 3m around the Immediate
Surround Area. Here we are looking at levels a third of
the Task/Immediate Surround Area.

luminaires to be efficient. Utilising
lighting controls can aid in saving
energy and reducing carbon
emissions.

Ceilings & Wall Illuminance
As part of the lighting design, looking at the levels on the walls
and ceilings is important in providing a visually comfortable
space to work in as well as creating a brighter environment.
Perimeter Lighting
This is an area which can benefit
from big energy savings. Using
daylight linked lighting control
systems energy consumption
can be reduced. Using LED
downlighters provide a good
lighting solution to enhancing these
areas yet not over lighting them.
Lighting Definitions
Lumens (also known as flux) is the light emitted
from a light source or luminaire.
Illuminance is the amount of light that falls onto
a surface measured in lux.
Luminance is the intensity of the light reflected
from a surface measured in Candelas (cd/sqm).
Glare
Glare can be defined as Discomfort Glare where it causes
discomfort but does not impair vision of objects or Disability
Glare where it impairs the vision of objects without causing
discomfort.
Glare can be checked using the UGR table (see photometry
basics) and by checking the candela values of the luminaire.

Rated Life -Life-time, lumen maintenance and
failure rate
The light output of an LED Module decreases
over the life-time, this is characterised with the
L value.
L70 means that the LED module will give 70%
of its initial luminous flux. This value is always
related to the number of operation hours and
therefore defines the lifetime of an LED module.
The F value is the combination degradation and
complete failures, e.g. L70F10 means 10 % of
the LED modules may fail or be below 70 % of
the initial luminous flux.

Colour Rendering
The MacAdam chromaticity diagram
allows us to understand colour by
clarifying what the colour is and how
different colours are.
For office lighting we look at the
white spectrum. The MacAdam
ellipse allows LEDs to be binned
(categorised) by performance.
Most LEDs are binned at 3
MacAdam steps. 4-7 MacAdam
steps would mean the end user
would see a colour difference.

3.5 EOS/ESD safety guidelines
The device / module contains components that are sensitive to electro-
static discharge and may only be installed in the factory and on site if
appropriate EOS/ESD protection measures have been taken. No special
measures need be taken for devices/modules with enclosed casings
(contact with the pc board not possible), just normal installation prac-
tice. Please note the requirements set out in the document EOS / ESD
guidelines (Guideline_EOS_ESD.pdf) at:
http://www.tridonic.com/esd-protection
Chemical substance may harm the LED module. Chemical reactions
could lead to colour shift, reduced luminous flux or a total failure of the
module caused by corrosion of electrical connections.
Materials which are used in LED applications (e.g. sealings, adhesives)
must not produce dissolver gas. They must not be condensation curing
based, acetate curing based or contain sulfur, chlorine or phthalate.
Avoid corrosive atmosphere during usage and storage.
3.4 Mounting instruction
None of the components of the umodule STARK QLE (substrate, LED,
electronic components etc.) may be exposed to tensile or compressive
stresses.
Max. torque for fixing: 0.5Nm.
The LED modules are mounted with 4 screws per module.
In order not to damage the modules only rounded head screws and an
additional plastic flat washer should be used.
4.1 Life-time, lumen maintenance and failure rate
The light output of an LED Module decreases over the life-time, this is characterized
with the L value.
L70 means that the LED module will give 70 % of its initial luminous flux. This value
is always related to the number of operation hours and therefore defines the life-
time of an LED module.
As the L value is a statistical value and the lumen maintenace may vary over the
delivered LED modules.
The B value defines the amount of modules which are below the specific L value,
e.g. L70B10 means 10 % of the LED modules are below 70 % of the inital luminous
flux, respectivly 90 % will be above 70 % of the initial value. In addition the percent-
age of failed modules (fatal failure) is characterized by the C value.
The F value is the combination of the B and C value. That means for F degradation
and complete failures are considered, e.g. L70F10 means 10 % of the LED modules
may fail or be below 70 % of the initial luminous flux.
4. Life-time3.3 Wiring type and cross section
The wiring can be in stranded wires with ferrules or solid with a cross section of 0.2
to 0.75mm².
For the push-wire connection you have to strip the insulation (8–9mm).
8 – 9 mm
wire preparation:
0.2 – 0.75 mm²
To remove the wires use a suitabel tool (e.g. Microcon release pin) or through
twist and pull .

POE - Power Over Ethernet
Lighting has undergone a revolution. LED is at
the forefront of lighting technology providing
excellent lighting with great energy efficiency.
With this change are vast improvements in
luminaire and optic design. However one area
has remained the same which is the electrical
services infrastructure.
Power Over Ethernet allows for luminaires
to be harmonised within the ICT system in
conjunction with other services such as data
telephony, CCTV and BMS. This eliminates
the need for final circuits for lighting and
lighting control which reduces initial capital
expenditure due to the reduction in the
amount of cabling within the ceiling void.
The Benefits
• Easy lighting management
• Network supervision
• Energy management
• User zone definition
• Power usage mapping
• Integration of other systems and
services
• Simpler installation with less cabling
infrastructure
• DALI compatible
• Automated one button addressing of
DALI ballasts
• Support for emergency lighting
Our team can help with your requirements.

EMERGENCY TESTING
• Self-contained - a functional test should be carried out to ascertain that all luminaires are
working in the correct manner, i.e. Maintained, non-maintained and, where appropriate,
combined. It should be verified that the battery-charging supply is present and indicated, and
that the luminaires operate in emergency mode on simulation of a general supply failure.
• Central systems - the system should be tested in normal and emergency modes to determine
the correct changeover of luminaires and full functionality in emergency mode. With central
systems, it is essential that a full duration test is carried out.
• Automatic testing and remote testing systems - the system should be set-up and tested for
functioning in accordance with the suppliers’ instructions. A copy of these instructions should
be placed with the log book.
EmergencyLighting
An emergency escape lighting design needs to
consider:
• The escape route, including en-route exits and
final exits for both interior and exterior.
• Areas with high risk tasks.
• Access areas.
• Occupational hours especially for offices,
hospitals etc.
• Consideration must also be taken when looking
at the type of emergency lighting to be provided
and to ensure they meet with EN and BS
regulations.
Escape lighting can be provided as either:
NON MAINTAINED: The escape lighting operates
when the normal mains supply fails.
MAINTAINED: Where the lighting operates normally
and continues to operate when the normal mains
supply fails (mains lighting and escape lighting).
An escape lighting design should:
• Provide 3 hours of lighting for escape
• Provide adequate visual terms and directions
for safe evacuation on escape routes
• Consider fire alarm call points, fire fighting
equipment and safety equipment to be identified
• Allow hazards (e.g. stairs, intersections, slopes)
and hazardous processes to be identified and
made safe during evacuation.
• Provide at positions where a visual task has
to be performed prior to evacuation or where
people have to pass by these dangers along the
escape route in the high risk areas.
• Be based on the minimum light output condition
of the luminaire and should be based on direct
light only.
Signs available for use in an emergency, are clearly
signposted and are visible at all material times and
should be illuminated by both the normal and the
emergency lighting systems.
The style and details of the safety signs are defined
in BS 5499. BS ISO 3864 gives the internationally
agreed formats of exit signs and safe condition
signs.
Area Design illuminance / light level
Escape route Minimum design value of 1 lx on the floor along the centre line (CL) of
the route with 0.5 lx on the floor of the centre band (CB) of at least 50%
of the route width.
Open escape area Minimum design value of 0.5 lx on central core empty floor excluding
0.5m wide perimeter band
Fixed seated area Minimum design value of 0.1 lx on a plane 1m above floor/pitch-line over
seated areas. Gangways should be treated as clearly defined routes
High risk task area Minimum 10% of maintained illuminance on the reference plane but at
least 15 lx
Areas requiring
emergency
lighting due to
risk assessment
Kitchens 15 lx at the working plane
First aid rooms 15 lx at the working plane
Treatment rooms 50 lx at the working plane
Refuge areas for people with impaired
mobility
5 lx at the working plane
Plant rooms, switch rooms and emergency
winding facilities for lifts
15 lx in plane of visual task
Fire control and indicating equipment 15 lx in plane of visual task
Reception area (sufficient illumination to
call fire brigade)
15 lx in plane of visual task
Crash bars or security devices at exit doors 5 lx in plane of visual task
Swimming pool surrounds 5 lx in plane of visual task
Escape lighting is aimed to ensure that people are protected from the effects of
normal lighting supply failure and provided with sufficient illumination to be able
to locate escape routes and use them safely.

is possible to work out which luminaires are
suitable for specific installations.
The photometric properties of a luminaire can
be accurately measured in several different
ways, lighting engineers have developed precise
terms to describe each of these:
Luminous Flux:
The light emitted by a light source, this is
measured in LUMENS.
Luminous Intensity:
This is the light travelling in any direction and is
measured in CANDELAS.
Illuminance:
The luminous flux density on a surface. This is
measured in LUX.
Testing
Luminaires are tested as either Absolute or
Relative Photometry.
Relative photometry is where the light output
ratio is adjusted for luminaire losses.
LED luminaires are generally tested are
absolute photometry under the guidance
of IESNA LM-79-08. This means that the
luminaires are tested at 100% light output
with the lumen value is adjusted as it exits the
luminaire.
Photometric data files are supplied in LDT or
IES formats to be used in lighting programs
such as Relux or Dialux.
For square or linear luminaires, two polar curves are given;
transverse, across the luminaire (solid red curve), and axial,
along the luminaire (dotted red curve). These planes detail
the light distribution of the luminaire.
For a symmetrical luminaire, such as a downlight, only one
curve is given which shows the average distribution from
several planes around the fitting.
Polar curves are a graphical representative of light distributed from a luminaire. The curve provides
information about the amount of light, spread and the intensity of the light.
The information presented within this table is the numerical
form of the data in the polar diagram. Distribution is measured
in planes, if a luminaire is symmetrical then the information
is presented using C0 plane only. If a luminaire is square or
rectangular additional planes are added to reflect the shape.

Luminance [cd/m²]
Glare tables detail the glare rating based on typical room sizes and
reflectances. When the photometric file is used within a lighting calculation,
glare can be checked to see it falls in line with CIBSE SLL recommendations.
Luminance tables enables checks to be made on the brightness of the
luminaire at 65degree and above. This can be checked against luminance
requirements for screens.

LIGHTINGGUIDE
Data Centre lighting is designed in line with the Telecommunications
Industry Association’s TIA-942.
The standard uses 3 levels to assess lighting.
• Level 1: When nobody is scheduled to be in the data centre
space, the lighting level should be just high enough that security
personnel (stationed outside the unoccupied data centre spaces)
can monitor the space with surveillance cameras.
• Level 2: Motion detectors should automatically initiate a higher
level of lighting once access is detected.
• The level of lighting should be high enough to clearly permit
identification via security cameras. These motion sensors can
also replace a manually-switched lighting control system.
• Level 3: Lighting should be a minimum of 500 lux min the
horizontal plane and 200 lux in the vertical plane, measured
1m above the finished floor in the middle of all aisles between
cabinets and at 1m on the vertical surface of the cabinet.
