DIZAJN RASVJETE INTEGRIRAN U ARHITEKTURILIGHTING DESIGN INTEGRATED IN ARCHITECTUREdown by investor’s representative and that crucial detailwasn’t realized like we planned.There has been a lot of talk lately about the Law on EconomicalLight Bulbs. What is the profession’s opinion onthat matter?My personal and professional opinion that I wholeheartedlyrepresent is that I would never install an economicallight bulb into my house or the house of my clients,due to the fact the light in living rooms needs to bewarm, non-vibrating and with regulation options, whichis best accomplished by the classic bulb fi laments. Thateconomical light bulb, which is manufactured in Chinain 99% of cases, is not even ecological, as the manufacturing,transporting and exploitation costs are muchhigher than those of a classic light bulb. Furthermore, itsglass membrane contains a certain amount of mercury,which may seem irrelevant in one light bulb, but themillions of such bulbs release a huge amount of mercurythat pollutes the water and the environment. Ifsuch a bulb breaks, it needs to be removed in specifi cmanner that involves several different packages beforethrowing it away. One of their huge disadvantage isthey also have no regulation options, do not have hightolerance for frequent on-off situations, and the level ofcolour reproduction is extremely bad. Their light is actuallyof low quality, as the room often looks unnaturalwithout true colour penetration – red isn’t red, blue isn’tblue. These are the reasons why people often don’t likespending time in rooms with these light bulbs. Some researcheshave shown that spending time in such roomscauses severe cases of migraine. There are numerousshortcomings. All professional associations, includingPLDC Europe and IES America, have made it clear thatthey oppose to banning regular light bulbs. However,the strongest lobbyist of that law turn a much biggerprofi t on economical bulbs.If that is the case, which is the way to achieve energypreservation and ecological lighting? What are the newtrends in the lighting world?While we were building a part of a bypass road in Poreč,we were the fi rst to use the new optical principle in publiclighting in Croatia. When people talk about ecologicallamps in our country, they still exclusively refer to thoselamps directing light downwards, and not radiatinglight upwards. If we need to light a 4-to-5-kilometre roadwhere it’s common to build about 100 poles, buildingabout 70 poles would make a big difference in terms ofenergy preservation, while also respecting the principlesthat oppose to lighting pollution. It is now a tendency inlarge commercial spaces, such as the recently-built NYTimes building by Renzo Piano in New York, to control52
