• The highlight of the building certainly does not go unnoticed, and will be, for promotional

purposes such as eye-catching lighting - an indispensable tool.

• An architecture’s nighttime “personality” may create an entirely new sense of place for a building,
where its architectural character radiates in new light.
• lighting links people to buildings at night. Thus, when the sun goes down, this gives an
architecture a new opportunity to showcase what it can do from an entirely different
perspective.

• After all, sunlight changes from moment to moment, and an architecture must work to
integrate with those changes. But at night, light can be used to redefine what an
architecture is doing, both in its exterior and interior.
• Over the past 100 years electric light has
completely transformed the public realm.

• Beginning with the illumination of the Eiffel

Tower at the 1889 World Exhibition in Paris,
lighting enabled an even greater
monumentality for such land mark structures
and buildings.
• Modern architecture, with its large expanses of glass, redefined a building's interaction wit
its surroundings.

• Windows, which let natural light inside by day, at

night, allowed these same internally electrically
illuminated spaces to cast light back out into the
urban realm

•The main challenge was how to create a sense of

brightness and sparkle that would read both up close
and from a distance without the disturbance of a lot
of glare.

•The façade needs to work both during the day in

natural lighting conditions and at night when the
panels are illuminated by two different grazing
fixtures located at the top and bottom of the entire
assembly.
 A

•The first fixture types are 10-

degree 4000K LED grazers that
illuminate the top front, the
bottom front, and the bottom back
of the panels with white light.

•The second are RGB LED

luminaires with a medium beam
distribution that create color-
changing effects, and which sit
behind the bottom grazing fixture.

Emotional lighting

How Building looks different at night :

– Static or dynamic lighting scenarios using colours

replace traditional accent lighting

– Creative lighting patterns and textures reinforce

emotional connection to the building

• The design of lighting for an architecture is critical — as
this illumination is what makes it work for nighttime use.
Through aspects like :

• 1- Hierarchy through light intensity

• 2 - Materiality through lighting color and even the use of

lighting direction (with conscientious use of shadow),
• 3 - Lighting fixture technologies :
must work well with a building’s elements during daylight hours. Thus, selecting proper lighting
is simultaneously about integrating beautiful lighting fixtures as it is about making sure those
lighting fixtures present the architecture at its fullest potential at night.
 Basic consideration that must be taken when designing the lighting of the facades :
- installation methods : must be easy
- does not spoil the overall look of the building
- Power & contact points
- possibility and ease of maintenance in future safety of use
- flow direction

The Lincoln Memorial

 The historically sensitive lighting system used for the relighting of the Lincoln Memorial
brings out many of the Memorial’s long-hidden details, and ensures that the statue of
Lincoln is highly visible. In addition, great care was taken in the lighting of the historic
murals on either side of the inner chamber to allow visibility of the murals without light
levels that would damage the delicate material. The final result is a re-illuminated
Memorial proudly and beautifully
 Focus Attention to interface elements (window frames, arches, cornices, columns ,balconies) .
In order for the composition to be harmonious, all items must be luminous and skillfully
connected to one composition. In this incarnation, architectural lighting used medium, low-
power lamps and linear shape lighting on the basis of light-emitting diodes. These bulbs are
nowadays becoming increasingly popular

Auberge de Castille Malta

Architect Edward Said explained that the approach appeared to light historic buildings so
as to highlight specific features while leaving others dark.
It is a kind of artistic effect, allowing to achieve the shape of the image outline of the object,
but without any details. That is, the silhouette of the object shows the creation of a luminous,
black or dark background ( the essence of the effect) . This creates a clear image and powerful
graphics, and applies a similar effect to highlight the palaces with columns and theaters.
 Suitable for lighting Modern buildings with fully glazed( shopping and entertainment
centers, office buildings) .
The lighting equipment is installed indoors and draws on the glass - produce a variety of
lighting effects: fixed or variable.

TOD`S
 A relatively new technique when the perimeter of the building stands out with the help of
linear lighting.
This collective implementation of contour lighting was made possible by the advent of
inexpensive light sources ( flexible neon and LED bars) . They are installed on the front of
hundreds of meters, for example, they illuminate the corners of the cornices

GLARE AND SHADOWING

On the design side, luminaires

strong glare and shadowing can be
problematic. An issue that
manufacturers responded can be
fixed by switching from Device On
Board (DOB) to Chip on Board
(COB). Wallace projected future
lighting trends will include the
gradual replacement of SMT to COB
A PROPLEMATIC GLARE
to reduce shadowing. AND UNWANTED
SHADOWING
COMBINING TECHNOLOGY WITH THE RIGHT LOOK AND FEEL

Retailers can’t compromise on

the look and feel of their shops,
and that still presents a
challenge with new lighting
technology. As Dean Laurent,
utilities purchasing manager at
Arcadia, points out: ‘The
customer comes in for the
product, not the lighting. We
need our stores to be bright,
young and we do not want to see
new technology make them
duller.’
LACK OF COLOUR AND STANDARDARIZATION MEASUREMENTS

Lack of LED industry standards for Color

Correlated Temperature (CCT) and data
presentation also continue to trouble designers,
when it comes to picking the right bulbs for
projects.

Designers also face difficulties in sorting out

lighting label measurements as manufacturers
use different benchmarks and measurement
criteria. Wallace also pointed out there is currently
no design tool for LEDs and it may take another
four to five years to develop one.
THE NEED FOR THERMAL MANAGMENT

The good news for designers is

manufacturers are increasingly
able to control heat dissipation
as LED efficacy improves.
Higher efficiency has resulted in
less heat loss, and make
products better suited for hot
climate applications.
Technological advancements
have enabled innovations in
LEDs that now enable heat sink
free bulbs
ENHANCE THE LIFECYCLE OF THE PRODUCTS UDED

Manufacturers of commercial and

industrial lights are faced with
many of the same challenges
seen in the residential market.
Lighting designs must be
functional, attractive, and
lightweight while also delivering
high optical efficiency and light
uniformity and resist the
weathering forces to stay on
service as long as possible .

Examples of different light pulps and their

different service abilities .
ACCOMPLISH GOOD BRIGHTNESS AND HIGH OPTICAL CLARITY

In outdoor applications, brightness and high optical

clarity are also critical success factors. While glass
and PMMA achieve higher light transmission,
continuous advances in PC materials have all but
leveled the playing field. At 2.5-mm wall thickness,
improved-clarity PC materials can provide
approximately 90% light transmission, on par with
high-heat PMMA and 2% behind standard PMMA.
