Thisnew device will maximize lightoutput into the optical fiber andprolong fiber life with the solidfused and polished fiber harnesson all types of opticalfiber. Best of all, it can be usedon the job-site to make thefiber terminations at time ofinstallation, rather than custom-orderingfiber lengthsfrom the factory.Holophane has provided thecapability to add controlled TVsurveillance cameras to its highmast systems. The combinationof lighting and cameras inthe same cluster eliminates theneed for stand-alone camerapoles while providing enhancedsafety and securitythrough optimum visibility. Panand zoom control are providedthrough remote control whichcan be accessed over local networksor the Internet.Luminaire and optical designers are always searching for bettermaterials to improve the performance of the end product. Toimprove reflector characteristics, Alanod Aluminum has releasedtheir MIRO-Silver aluminum material that has a total light reflectionof 98 percent. It not only provides advantages to indoorlighting, but its high corrosion resistance, 95 percent solar radiationreflectance, and UV-C photo stability make it practical forsolar light pipes and other daylighting applications.The construction of the RDIrecessed direct-indirect louverfrom ALP Lighting Companypermits fixture manufacturersto add a direct-indirect luminaireto their product line. Aminor change in latch andhinge locations may be necessary.Easy re-lamping is accomplishedsince the reflector isintegrated into the louver, sothe lamps and wiring are completelyaccessible when thedoor is open.Lexalite has introduced LCFReflexor, a new specular filmmaterial process. Through achoice of extrusions and filmpatterns, the process allows forcustomer selectable uplight/downlight ratios when the fixtureis fabricated with the lightcontrol film. When comparedto current perforated aluminummethods, this approachis more economical and easierto clean.Lledge is a wedge-shapedpanel from Lexalite InternationalCorporation. Thisdesign has been available forexit signs but now is beingmanufactured in a 6 by 48-in.size for applications such asdirect/indirect lighting, productdisplays, bakery and refrigerateddisplay cases and menuboards. Lexalite claims 10 percentgreater illuminance withT5s compared to other edgelitpanels.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . November . . . . . 2003 . . .

Three baseand holder, five lamp, six ballast,four IEC lamp, and onebulb standard have been madeavailable, for a total of nineteennew documents for the lightingindustry.In cooperation with theIESNA Lighting for the AgedCommittee, the Lighting ResearchOffice has created theLighting and Circadian Rhythmsand Sleep in Older Adults researchreport. This reportshows a quantitative linkbetween light intervention andcircadian sleep cycles. It alsolinks light with improvement indementia symptoms in theelderly.A new research publication,Lighting and Human PerformanceII, has been created bythe Lighting Research Office.This study updates the original1989 work that established thebasic concept and is the first toevaluate human performanceequally with visual performance.Factors such as visibility,photobiology, and messagewere evaluated. The study wassupported by the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency.The Lighting ResearchOffice has printed the Lightand Human Health Symposium.This is the first research symposiumwhere both lightingand medical field experts collaboratedon how light affectspeople through both the visualsystem and other pathways.Papers cover four distinct subjectareas—Circadian Rhythms,Light and UV, Medical Applicationsof Light, and EnvironmentalApplications.The NCQLP (NationalCouncil on Qualifications forthe Lighting Professional) hasissued their new 2003 RecertificationGuidelines for lightingprofessionals. This year, a sectionentitled Lighting CourseDevelopment has been addedthat encourages the creation ofnew lighting courses by awardinglighting education unitcredits for the development ofnew material. The LEUs areawarded for the developmentand not for the presentation ofthe course material. It is alsointeresting to note that the logohas been redesigned to clearlyshow the meaning of LC.The IESNA has released thenew publication IESNA Guidelinefor Security Lighting forPeople, Property and PublicSpaces. It covers basic securityprinciples and the illuminancelevels required for varioustypes of properties. Also discussedis the protocol for evaluatingcurrent lighting levels fordifferent security applicationsas well as a security survey andcrime search methodology.higH PRiority. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . www.iesna.org . . . . . . . . 59. .
