at low end. The module can be dimmed with

standard triac dimmers to 1 percent, and is

available in four lumen packages from 850 to

3000 lumens.

This year there was a trend toward design-

ing to maximize the unique attributes of

LED sources. Smaller, thinner and lighter

products are being developed. Philips has

introduced their Surface LED Downlight,

the thinnest available. At 5/8 in. thick, this

edgelit product creates an illusion of being

a recessed downlight. It features all plastic

light luminaire up to 900 lumens. The fixture

dims using either an electronic or magnetic

low voltage dimmer producing 3000K at full

output going down to 2000K at the lowest

output. It is available in 5 and 6-in. apertures.

The Progress Report Committee has identi-

fied a trend this year in small aperture, high

performing downlights. Juno Lighting has

the past year. LEM-7-13, “Lighting Controls for

Energy Management,” covers lighting con-

trol systems of interior and exterior environ-

ments for all types of buildings. It addresses

energy-saving strategies while meeting light-

ing quality requirements.

IES LEM-3-13 is the “IES Guidelines for

Upgrading Lighting Systems in Commercial

and Institutional Spaces” that advises the

reader to be aware of the balance between

quality lighting and energy savings. It

provides a series of Upgrade Briefs that

describe equipment alternatives for suc-

cessful upgrades.

Procedures and precautions for obtaining

and reproducing luminous flux and color

maintenance measurements for LEDs,

as well as standard test environmental

conditions, are outlined in IES LM-84-14,

“Approved Method: Measuring Luminous

Flux and Color Maintenance of LED Lamps,

Light Engines and Luminaires.”

and Photometric Measurements of High-

Power LEDs,” provides a uniform test method

for accurate operational, photometric and col-

orimetric measurements of high-power LEDs.

The final IES publication is the

“Recommended Practice for Daylighting

Buildings,” RP-5-13. With its recommenda-

tions, electric lighting energy can be reduced

by 40 percent in side-lighted daylight zones

and more than 50 percent in top-lighted

zones through the use of daylight delivery

methods, glazing systems, shading tech-

niques and control strategies.

Lighting Analysis for Revit is introduced by

AutoDesk. This software will perform day-

light analysis on detailed models and gen-

erate documents for LEED submission. It

uses a proprietary engine based on a mul-

tidimensional lightcuts algorithm operating

in the cloud to perform solar and electric

lighting simulations for buildings up to 1000

times faster than traditional software.
