Developing a light plan

Developing a light plan GET STARTED RIGHT AWAY Our LED experts have now handled all rooms and that is why it is now time for the "real thing", the development of a lighting plan. You develop a lighting plan to clearly identify which lighting and the associated connection points you need per room. MATERIALS You need a number of materials for the development, such as the following: - A3 white sheet of paper - Transparent (cover) paper - Pencils - Sharpener - Ruler - Eraser - Colored pencils / markers (optional). The transparent paper gives you the possibility to work with multiple layers so that you can easily create multiple light plans and ultimately choose the most suitable one. PREPARATION Be the first to take the dimensions of the rooms that you want to include in your plan and calculate a scale for it so that the floor plan fits on the A3 paper. Then draw the spaces one by one on the A3 sheet, taking doors into account by leaving them blank and possib...

The LED light in traffic tunnels

The LED light in traffic tunnels THE NETHERLANDS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY SUSTAINABLE LED lighting has been highly developed in recent years. It is becoming more widely applicable and you will see LED lighting appear everywhere. In museums, for example, more and more LED lighting is being used because there is no infrared and UV radiation that can and will damage the paintings in the long run. PVDA MP Attje Kuiken now wants LED lighting to be used in our Dutch tunnels. We think a good plan. Although the investment is definitely higher at the outset, money is saved in the long term. And that can quickly be much more than the higher purchase costs. Consider the lower maintenance costs; much less often a platform will have to enter the tunnel to replace a light bulb. This also saves on the purchase of new lamps and staff who have to replace the lamps. "Not switching to LED lighting now is a pure waste of money and a missed opportunity for a more sustainable Netherlands," ...

LED lighting makes tomatoes even healthier

LED lighting makes tomatoes even healthier TOMATOES & LED LIGHTING We have known for a long time that tomatoes are healthy. The fruit contains a lot of vitamin C, carotenes, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6 and the minerals potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Tomato also contains a coloring agent, namely lycopene. This can protect human cells against the negative influences of nitrogen dioxide. There are also strong indications that the lycopene in the tomato could play a role in cancer protection. Research now shows how fresh vegetables become even healthier; by exposing them to  LED lighting . VITAMIN C If the tomato is still growing on the plant and receives extra light thanks to LED lighting, the tomato appears to contain more vitamin C when harvested. Researchers from Wageningen University discovered this by doing research into different tomato varieties and different light intensities. LED lighting was suspended between the tomato plants and around the clusters...

The HAN in LED

The HAN in LED LED & EDUCATION The programs of the Faculty of Education in Nijmegen of the HAN will receive a new educational building. Construction started on November 10, 2011, and will be the most sustainable educational building in the Netherlands. ATRIUM The sustainability ambitions of the high school and the multifunctional use of the spaces have resulted in a special design. This design is a major challenge for the lighting design, but the desired solution in LED lighting has been found and included in the design. By seeing the 6-story atrium as a whole instead of separate floors, it is ensured that there will be an even light distribution. This also includes a few walkways that individually illuminate the atrium, so that fewer luminaires have to be used and the lines of the architect are not lost. Here too, LED lighting is used again. SUSTAINABLE AND GREEN The combination of mainly green facades in combination with glass creates a pleasant climate with an additio...
