Lighting Japan 2014

you even when it's the middle of winter and office workers southern get to see the Sun the good ol electric light is there to help you make it through the day know Kate that may be a bit of an exaggeration a good lighting is definitely important. well shaken with reporter Brian Hughes for the latest from lighting Japan 2014 hi you know the electric light is one of the most important inventions in human history modern life as we know it wouldn't be possible without it but in recent years it had to adapt to certain environmental and energy concerns and the latest designs are super efficient but another side benefit is they allow for lighting ideas that having been possible in the past and after all lighting also helped shape our moods so let's go on in and check out some of the brightest ideas he replied in Japan Mon LED lighting has seen rapid adoption in recent years and even though development is ongoing organic LED technology has the potential to fill in the gaps where ordinary LED's are unsuitable here at light in Japan we can see the future illumination major manufacturers are already entering the field with OLED products Panasonic with their strong lighting background is one example there are also companies like he did me to cosign that make the ingredients necessary for OLED manufacture these two companies started a joint venture in 2011 these stunning light fixtures emphasize the design potential a new natural lighting capabilities are LED lighting not forgetting to mention the spectacular aquarium which certainly got my attention so how does the lighting industry feel about the future OLED technology the mountains though the snow mother mother Yuki year to do too much to our at a simple dinner they must know that put it on this net a donor it design more subtle it's all making america a couple is so not that is now to see been disabled committee that do in Canada's the new on the other hand they're relatively new entrants into the lighting market like this firm which evolved out of another collaboration this time between mitsubishi Heavy Industries Rome top on printing and Mitsui doubling the attack they're offering a number and imaginative suggestions for potential OLED based learning products the move is restful seen owes its existence to yet another partnership this one between linear tech any on bed a Japanese bedding manufacturer go when I think I've OLED technology in reminds me of things like video displays but this is a great use for it very relaxing might take a nap working together with the medical community this circuit board manufacturer has developed a number of products meant for use in hospitals or clinics that make the most of the unique properties about LED's for example this striking desk lamp meant for use in medical examinations its design is also practical as its slim form keeps it from being an obstruction and the light soft glow is easy on the eyes have doctors and patients alike this is a portable light for nurses it's meant to be used during nighttime hospital grounds it has a gentle light that shouldn't disturb sleep in patients what's more when fully charged it has a battery life around 10 hours so we can last through an entire shift without interruption was no really is a good idea as a matter of fact my mom's a nurse maybe I'll get one for birthday this year this small design studio taking notice of the organic mood created by the gentle light oil ET's was inspired to develop a unique lighting design that incorporates wooden frames and translucent panels the magnets in the edges of each frame make for almost limitless combinations and when combined with the matter glow the OLED panel which is quite reminiscent of Japanese paper lanterns the light can be reflected refracted were diffused creating dramatic lighting effects this design would never have been possible without OLED technology up closed let's hear from the designer this lamp as art but she has given them a call in this game also thank you notes on it again cited context to go down or don't think it's cool to mission to keep us work what's your today so there are so many ways to smoker pronounced dead skate at the game and again make became a subpoena to get on with it up there were also a number interesting products featuring ordinary LED's tss primarily a maker printed circuits presented this decidedly different offering made up of several hundred plastic spheres not only can the system produce amazing colors you can actually be used to display letters and images each ball is divided in half with the set a full color red green and blue LED's just like those found in video displays on each side the system's key feature is this control unit which manages the color and brightness each sphere with proprietary software this means the just like on a computer monitor it's a breeze to display detailed images and even complex animations it's also worth noting that the manufacturers printed circuits or would connect each year to the next the system is already in use at a shopping center here in Japan up this company offered another LED lighting control systems that condemning switch lights on or off via the Internet up this wireless management solution uses a proprietary communication module that works in conjunction with the wireless gateway and a cloud-based server to allow remote controlled lights over distances that standard wireless networks couldn't possibly reach up the signal goes from the device to the wireless router to a cloud server then back out to a wireless router and then into the light controller too long trip might take a little while let's give it a shot later at a hundred percent now but said it to seventy-five percent and 50 percent and 25 percent and of while that's incredibly fast isn't their using the systems proprietary application you can manage individual lights as well as groups have lights which can be customized according to your needs this company is using the expertise in plastics to tackle some of the weaknesses LED lighting which include limitations on shape and diffusion they've developed a specialized plastic resin molding process which they've dubbed CMT technology LED covers made from their specially molded plastic are ideal for applications that require multi-directional or diffuse lighting 0 some potential uses for this development include automotive applications that require a continuous line or elimination have an entire surface with only a few low power LED chips it's possible to create lighting effects the required much more power in the past 0 up while that's really cool you know this new technology should greatly increase the possibilities for LED lighting haha is a Japanese firm that's well known for specializing in LED's they offer a broad range LED based lighting solutions for example these of issues LED ceiling lights are a mainstay after impressive product line this month repellent light shines in a way to bring a 517 animators you know it's quite a lovely color I like it but apparently Moss hated me it seems flowers can bloom certain kinds of moss lay their eggs on the effectiveness of the special lights has been proven by use an actual nursery let's have a look at some beautiful ways to use LED's through designs influenced by traditional japanese-style the chandeliers are made with washy paper here's a novel idea: these lights known as dando can be blown out and just like real fire naturally they use LED's and sensors instead of hot stuff so they're just as safe to use as they are beautiful to look at weld the beauty of nature was the inspiration behind these lights which are made of porcelain you know lighting isn't just about technology its also about art and all of the Japanese inspired lighting creations we've just looked at are truly beautiful including this one while this maker presented a product that claims to be even more energy efficient than LED's known as an your life for electroless induction the Eli lamps are meant for use in locations that commonly used high-powered mercury lamps such as gymnasiums and outdoor sports facilities the lamps have a service like that's 2.5 times longer than the average LED people making them ideal for hard to reach installations their long life energy efficiency near natural nomination low-temperature may well make them superior to LED's in some settings sins mercury based lands will most likely be completely phased out on a global scale by the year 2020 Eli lambs might just get the green light to take their place among the elite have alternative lighting options we will know organic LED technology is still in its infancy it was really great to see so many products being brought to market that take advantage of its unique characteristics I particularly enjoyed the wooden creation from PHY lab something I'd love to put on my own desk I may just go online later in by one anyway time to turn off the lights that's all for today I'm breaking news reporting see you next time thanks brian that gives me an idea up sorry if you're like me you may wonder what exactly is the difference between LED's and all LED's okay all LED's organic but what does that mean they made from vegetables while there is a super technical explanation involving chemistry the just a bit is that all LED's have more diffuse spread out light and LED's or point lights
