News & Business New Guide to Limiting Obtrusive Light from SLL


The Society of Light and Lighting (SLL) has announced the launch of its new SLL Guide to Limiting Obtrusive Light, which addresses the important issues associated with outdoor lighting and controlling obtrusive light. Whilst outdoor lighting is attractive and often necessary, there are a number of factors, such as sky glow, light trespass and glare, that need to be taken into consideration to ensure that an installation doesn't interfere with its surroundings. The new SLL Guide offers simple processes for developing lighting designs for new installations or for assessing existing designs if there have been any complaints of obtrusive light. In addition, the guide offers some solutions to applications where obtrusive light is common but could be reduced easily.


Sylvania Expands its Outdoor Lighting Range


Sylvania has announced the extension of its outdoor lighting range for commercial and residential lighting applications. Created specifically with electrical contractors and local authorities in mind, the new products grow the existing Floodlight, Wall Washer and Inground portfolio, by adding Bollards, Wall Surface and Wall Recessed luminaires to create a stylish looking range that is suitable for a wide range of exterior lighting projects. “The new additions to the range complement the existing Sylvania Architectural Outdoor Lighting Range,” comments Oliver Weiss, Senior SBU Manager at Havells- Sylvania. “This range strengthens our offering in outdoor lighting and fills a much needed gap in the market and our product portfolio. At Havells-Sylvania we want to provide our customers with the total package, so they know that when they come to us, we can offer them everything they need for their projects both inside and outside.”


Coombe Abbey Restored with Help from Megaman


Coombe Abbey Hotel, a beautiful country house nestling within the UK’s historical heartland of Warwickshire, is now benefitting from the introduction of lamps and reflectors from Megaman’s extensive decorative lamp range, including LED candles and LED GU10’s. Michael Butler, part of Megaman’s technical team, worked closely with Interior Designer Yvonne Scott, conducting an energy survey of the site and suggesting alternative lamps for use within existing fittings. Following the results it was decided that a combination of Megaman’s LED Candle lamps, LED GU10’s reflector lamps and LED dimmable classics would be used to light the hallways, lobby, bedrooms and landings. Yvonne Scott, Interior Designer at Coombe Abbey, is delighted with


the results; “We found Megaman Lamps to be of an excellent quality and appearance producing the lighting effect we required”.


Iktomia Exterior Art Installation Illuminated by Robe and Anolis


An eye-catching collection of sculptural art by Volker-Johannes Trieb has been installed in an area that includes a huge garden, gallery, event location and a renovated old Railway Station in Sutthausen near Osnabrück, Germany. Robe CitySkape 48 and CitySource 96 and Anolis Inground 12 RGB LED fixtures were specified and installed to illuminate this collection of art. Part of the artist’s vision was that his works of art would come to life in the evening, and so he approached leading German distribution company LMP to assist with the specification of an appropriate lighting scheme. The fixtures chosen for the installation, fully IP65 rated for exterior use, were chosen for their powerful outputs and wide range of colours as well as their durability, low power consumption and low on-going running costs.
