Endo Shines in Frankfurt

The new Endo LEDZ range was shown to great effect on the stand that Crescent shared with German partners LBM & Endo themselves.Particularly striking was the comparison between conventional display lighting (which Endo have produced for many years) and the new LEDZ products which were displayed alongside. A visual comparison showed the effects to be very similar (the LEDZ are fitted to the right hand side in the image shown), whist the spot light levels using the LEDZ products were higher. The real telling information was found on the energy consumption metering - the LEDZ side showing between 35 & 50% of the conventional lighting load depending on the fittings selected.

The LEDZ range comprises luminaires that contain one of nine replaceable LED modules with sizes from 7 to 66W. Each module has a choice of purpose designed lenses and has a guaranteed life of 5 years.The modues were displayed individually against a wall to illustrate their distribution, as can be seen in the image on the right below.

The luminaire range is truly huge, featuring downlights, spots, pendants and exterior fixtures and amounting to over 700 versions.
Of course other Crescent LED lighting solutions were on show including representatives of all the linear CL range, and featuring the new exterior rated CLI RGB modules with integral drivers and interlink capability. The display is shown on the left.

Fibre optic products were represented by the LED powered projector in its RGB and tuneable white versions, and by a 150W HQI 6155 running a demonstration loop of BPAK side emitting fibre and FSPTe cable which was used to display various fittings.

'Doodle' at Luminale in Frankfurt

Leolight design showed the interactive light sculpture Doodle at the Heyne Kunstfabrik in Offenbach, near Frankfurt. The special solo exhibition ran alongside the Luminale 2010 event. Leolight constructed ‘Doodle’ using BPAK150 side emitting fibre and a CRE6155 projector, making great use of it’s flexibility. Sandra Decker lighting partner in Leolight describes the concept of the piece - “Initially the Doodle is a simple, linear light sculpture. However the Doodle is not predefined by the artist. Instead the fibre optic light installation inspires visitors to experience and interact with light. They sculpture their own linear light installation and become the creators of the Doodle”. The images below show Doodle during the exhibition, and the one on the far right show the 'skier' Doodle by Alan Weaver & Martin Perman of Crescent when they visited the exhibition site - naive? You should have been there to try yourself!!
