A colleague recently took great delight in showing me the January 1975 issue of LD+A –which I edited in my youth. Articles in that issue extolled the benefits of high-pressure sodium lighting for offices (“a warm glow”). Another stressed the need to replace carbon paper and typewriter ribbons frequently to improve visibility of the printed page. No one can deny the distinct color temperature of HPS sources, or the need for fewer carbons—if indeed carbon paper is still used. But how does an editor evaluate a lighting design The January 1975 cover story of LD+A featured a New York architect’s office with a single RLM over each drafting table and a cluster of four in the conference room. Table luminaires and ceilingmounted cans offered additional illumination. The story drew fire from manufacturers, who criticized the lighting. The responsible designer and his colleagues defended the cover story, citing aesthetics and subjectivity as factors to be considered. Comments from manufacturers included: “I could not believe such lousy lighting was shown.” “The cover story is a complete abrogation of the efforts of the Society in espousing energy-efficiency lighting.” “This installation can only be described as disgraceful.” “If 1920’s nostalgia was the goal, I offer my congratulations.” The client, on the other hand, had this to say: “If seeing is believing, then come and see and visit what our staff, clients, and visitors agree is one of the best work environments in New York City.” The designer, Howard Brandston, FIES and a past president of IESNA, said, “My responsibility as a private BEARDSLEY’S BEAT practicing professional is to present my point of view... I hope that the opportunity for innovation lies in all aspects of the lighting industry, not just in the creation of new sources and luminaires, but also in the attempt to create exciting visual compositions with light itself.” Bravo, Howard! Your statement of design and personal integrity in those old pages of LD+A still rings true today. Perhaps the last words on the subject belong to another lighting legend, Jules Horton, FIES. At the time he wrote, “As to the benefits of enough light to discern one more angel on the head of a pin, forget it, Howard. The veiling reflections would hide him anyway.” Charles Beardsley, Editor www.iesna.org LD+A/February 2003 3
