PATHWAYS OF INSPIRATION HANDRAILS BEHIND THE SCENES

All through the city on an illuminated red carpet “Bike Skyway”, Copenhagen Client: Municipality of Copenhagen; Architect: DISSING+WEITLING architecture (DK); Engineer: Rambøll (DK); Contractor: MT Højgaard (DK); Landscape Architect: Marianne Levinsen Landskab (DK); Light Design: Lightconstructor (DK) On “Cykelslangen” bridge, the city of Copenhagen is literally rolling out a red carpet of light for its cyclists and pedestrians. Weaving through the city between the harbor and the Fisketorvet Shopping Center, this impressive band of light is particularly popular with cyclists who enjoy the uplifting feeling that comes from the ride. From the very beginning, the planners of the bridge took great care to smoothly and efﬁ ciently incorporate the lighting technology in the architectural structures. Anyone drifting through the city on this bridge of light can experience urban lighting design at its best.

FOR MORE INSPIRATION Setting the stage for cutting-edge lighting designThey come in elegant curves, in straight and clear lines or with fantastic angles: Depending on their function and architec-tural style, steps and stairways can open up a multitude of possibilities for creative lighting designers. Homogeneous lines of light emphasize architectural structures and highlight a building’s overall appearance. Apart from serving its primary task of safety, light is playing a more and more important role in designing brilliant architecture. Once integrated, LED modules smoothly follow the shape of a handrail, creating homo-geneous bands of light that even vary their color to match the desired atmosphere.

30 lux 125 lux 50 lux 170 lux SOLUTION COMPETENCE IN DETAIL Slim lighting solutionsTo create an elegant overall look, handrails often have very slim dimensions. For these applications, OSRAM offers extremely slim drivers and LED modules which ensure that homogeneous and shadow-free bands of light are created when integrated into the handrail – even in conﬁ ned spaces. Reliable in any kind of weatherFor outdoor applications, the entire lighting system must be able to resist all weather conditions. To ensure this, OSRAM has LED modules with special coating and rugged LED drivers in its portfolio. These are designed to withstand temperature variations, wet conditions or dust. Shining examples are LED modules with high performance silicon potting and drivers that can be additionally enclosed in so-called outdoor tubes, as well as versions with integrated protection and potted cables. Innovative concepts beyond standard solutionsToday’s lighting design is characterized by a broad range of application options enabled by modern light manage-ment. And the considerations of engineers and designers have long since gone beyond lighting concepts that “only” provide perfect illumination. OSRAM is therefore constantly developing innovative lighting solutions which, for example, also include the tracking of passers-by. Using motion detectors, the illuminance can be increased precisely when and if a person passes near a connected source of light. The system also enables sophisticated guidance options that even react to certain groups of people by displaying different light colors. Providing optimal illuminationWhen planning lighting solutions, the homogeneous illumination of deﬁ ned areas using lighting systems integrated into handrails represents a special challenge. In addition to complying with statutory regulations, LED modules must be integrated in such a way that the illuminance required is available at every section of the rail without glare for passers- by. The selection of the right LED modules and also the angle at which these are built into the handrails is therefore of prime importance.

When works of art and the art of lighting become one Bonhams Fine Art Auctioneers, London Architecture: Martin Kiefer, Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands, London Lighting design: Mark Paul, EQ2 Light, LondonProduct: LINEARlight Colormix Flex For the ambitious modernization of its auction house, Bonhams in London relied on an impressive lighting concept to showcase its precious exhibits in the perfect light. Thanks to 1.2 kilometers of OSRAM LED modules elegantly integrated into light coves, each of the sales rooms can now be immersed in perfectly colored light, highlighting the special character of the exhibited items. Both the light color and the light output can be adjusted in no time at all. In combination with perfect color rendering, this ﬂ ex- ible lighting control now enables the customer to present its wide variety of works of art in an elegant setting. This forward-looking concept not only sparks the enthusiasm of auction house customers, but also impressed the American Institute of Architects, which presented Bonhams with its 2014 Design Excellence Award. BEHIND THE SCENES COVE LIGHTING PERFECT INTERIOR DESIGN

FOR MORE INSPIRATION Indirect light to create atmospheric lightingEnabling the perfect symbiosis of pleasant ambience and systematic functionality, light coves provide a harmonious room atmosphere in a wide variety of applications. LED strips are concealed in recesses or behind ledges so that they cannot be seen from any point of view. In place of using visible luminaires, indirect lighting is an effective means for implementing a con-sistent room lighting concept. Light appears to emerge from the ceiling or walls to create a ﬂ oating, unobtrusive and harmonious atmosphere. Freedom of design is virtually unlimited because indirect light provides valuable beneﬁ ts for homogeneous basic lighting, accentuating architectural features, or as a decorative design element.

LED driver LED driver Ever smaller, slimmer and more elegantState-of-the-art room concepts require modern light coves with ever smaller dimensions to elegantly and discreetly blend into the overall design. Thanks to their outstanding features, the specially developed OSRAM ShortPitch modules easily fulﬁ ll this requirement. Shorter distances between the light points even enable absolutely homogeneous lines of light in installations close to a wall. There is also the option of using particularly slim and ﬂ at LED drivers that avoid shadowing effects when installed in the cove (see illustration on the left). Homogeneous extension of light linesAbsolutely even illumination is the key prerequisite for professional lighting concepts – and in this regard, the OSRAM SLIMCONNECT- system fulﬁ lls the highest expectations. Thanks to these practice- oriented accessories the modules can be easily connected to both the power supply and to each other without the need for tools, ensuring that the distance between the light points of adjoining modules always remains the same. Homogeneous lines of light can thus be extended in the twinkling of an eye. Effective thermal managementSince light coves usually consist of dry construction elements which cannot sufﬁ ciently distribute and dissipate heat, it is essential to install the LED modules in aluminum rails serving as stable carriers and providing for thermal management. Interior design with utmost ﬂ exibilityLight coves open up a multitude of options for creating a perfect atmosphere. Homogeneous lines of light delicately accentuate a room’s geometry, decoratively highlight certain elements, or provide soft and uniform basic lighting. Flexible OSRAM LED modules are the perfect choice for designing the most effective solutions – including simple, exposed coves (see illustration above) and also ceiling-integrated elements (see illustration on the right). These provide the basis for attractive lighting to generate a sophisticated light setting in any room, for any application, and at any time of day. SOLUTION COMPETENCE IN DETAIL

BEHIND THE SCENES LUMINOUS CEILINGS INTERIOR ROOMS THAT REACH UP TO THE SKY

Protagonists in the spotlight Audi Used Car Center, Eching Architecture: Hesse, Munich Planning: IBMTGA GmbH, MoosburgInstallation: Bachner Elektro GmbH & Co. KG, MainburgProduct: DRAGONchain ® Tunable White The moment when an Audi vehicle is handed over to the customer is turned into a spectacular event. Since every car is to be presented to its new owner in the best light, it is showcased under large-area light ﬁ elds – to shine like a star on the stage. Hidden behind a stretch ﬁ lm, the LED modules brilliantly and homogeneously illuminate an entire area in different shades of white. The color temperature can be individually adjusted in order to highlight the vehicle’s color. Red, for example, appears powerful and saturated in warm white light, whereas metallic silver shines elegantly in cold white light.

FOR MORE INSPIRATION Reaching up to the skyLuminous ceilings and walls seamlessly combine an attractive appearance with prac-tical functionality. They open a room toward the sky to make it appear higher, lighter and clearer. Light becomes an effective means of accentuating architectural structures – and thus creates a magic of its own. Shadow- free illuminated elements appear to ﬂ oat through space, giving hotels, museums or sales rooms their special appeal. The mood of the lighting can be variably adapted to a room’s special architecture and purpose, creating powerful and colorful light ac-cents, brightly illuminating certain areas, or generating a warm atmosphere with more subdued light colors.

SOLUTION COMPETENCE IN DETAIL 115 mm 119 mm 240 mm 239 mm Large-area luminous ceilings for an excellent ambienceThe quality of light plays a major role in the planning of luminous ceilings. To achieve homogeneous lighting, the light color and luminance must be adjusted with high precision. The minimum illumination to be achieved in an area must be determined ﬁ rst. For this calculation, the lighting situation is simulated and the required brightness is determined. OSRAM uses customized programs which optimally support the planning processes. Afterwards, a plan specifying the exact number and arrangement of the LED modules required is presented to the customer. The modules are installed on mounting rails attached to the ceiling. Thanks to the deﬁ ned distance between the light points and the seamless matching of all components, the desired lighting effect can be easily achieved. To optimize the lighting, it is advisable to provide a transparent extra layer between the LED modules and the diffuser. This prevents dust or dead insects from collecting on the diffuser and creating unpleasant shadows on the luminous ceiling. In many cases, this option is simpler and more cost-efﬁ cient than sealing the entire application against dust. 1 x 416 493 550 583 593 583 551 494 416 475 567 634 671 683 671 633 567 475 496 594 664 704 716 703 664 593 496 475 567 633 671 683 671 633 567 474 415 493 549 582 593 582 550 493 415 750 500 300

SOLUTION COMPETENCE IN DETAIL Diameter to be determined Depth to be determined Channel, painted black Aluminum plate 251 352 50.5 50.5 50.5 244.5 295 Homogeneous arc of lightThe special challenge of planning an arc of light is the homogeneous and shadow- free illumination of an entire area. The optimal distance between the modules, the correct beam angle of the LEDs and their distance to the diffuser area are of prime importance in this regard. Floor lighting to create visual effectsWhen integrating lighting technology into the ﬂ oor, the light channel has to fulﬁ ll special requirements. To present objects in the perfect light, the luminance level must be deﬁ ned ﬁ rst. The aluminum proﬁ les must be installed in either a straight line or at the correct angle to achieve suitable values. The proﬁ les carrying the LED modules also provide for thermal management. Suitable diffuser covers ensure that it is possible to walk over the light channels without glare for passers-by. Intelligent guidance systemsModern light management also reveals new opportunities with orientation lighting. People can be identiﬁ ed by intelligent tracking systems and guided individually by light strips. The light strip intended for the desired travel path is activated automatically. Using Tunable White or RGB colors, this innovative guidance technology enables the assignment of light colors for speciﬁ c purposes. The light strips do not have to be continuous; isolated applications are also possible.

BEHIND THE SCENES ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT SPARK INSPIRATION

Smooth design struc-tures to create a new feeling of lightness Warsaw School of Economics (SGH) Responsible for the project: Makro-Budomat Development Sp. z o.o.Product: LINEARlight DRAGON At ﬁ rst glance, the gigantic pyramidal glass roof stretching over the main hall of the Warsaw School of Economics, also referred to as the “parachute hall”, might appear rather compact and heavy. However, the innovative light concept lends this massive building an unprecedented appearance of lightness. All 224 windows of the “parachute” in the atrium can be illuminated individually, creating a fascinating lighting effect altogether. Every window can be dynamically controlled in order to achieve awe-inspiring light scenarios of ﬁ ligree beauty on the roof.

FOR MORE INSPIRATION The fourth dimension of architectureLight is the lifeblood of any architecture: it softens hard contours, accentuates geometrical structures and can be tailored to meet speciﬁ c user requirements. This is how it brings an entire building to life. Light communi-cates emotions and creates a pleasant atmosphere – and achieving the right balance between daylight and artiﬁ cial light is a major factor here. The perfect illumination of the building’s structures is therefore an essential architectural design element. Design by Astrid Krogh (www.astridkrogh.com)

SOLUTION COMPETENCE IN DETAIL Shutter Shutter Glass roo f Individual control of the most varied componentsState-of-the art buildings stand out thanks to their unusual structures and shapes. However, glass roofs consisting of various asymmetrical elements present special challenges for the development of customized lighting systems. To allow as much daylight as possible to enter the building, special shutters are used. Thanks to smart light guidance, warm, glare-free light shines through the roof into the building. In addition, shutters can avoid any disturbing reﬂ ection caused by LED lighting, ensuring the smooth and homogeneous distribution of light in the entire building. To achieve this, ﬂ exible OSRAM LED modules enable high precision adjustment and perfect alignment to the shutter. Programming sophisticated light scenariosEvery light source can be precisely controlled via centra lized control systems. The OSRAM light management system transmits the signal to DALI in order to provide dynamic color changes and particularly slow sequences. Complex light systems are controlled via an ECU server, which is usually designed and programmed to suit the speciﬁ c requirements of the individual project. Please note: Components used in glass roofs must comply with particularly strict quality standards. This applies to LED modules, drivers and also to the carrier plates and covers of luminaires. Since the components are exposed to intensive solar radiation, UV and tempera-ture resistance as well as thermal management are of prime importance.
