LIGMAN Evolve Pty. Australia welcomes Technical and Operations Director

We are delighted to announce that Clinton Willemse joins LIGMAN Evolve Pty. Australia as Technical and Operations Director.

Clinton has spent the last 19 years in the telecom site design/site engineering landscape, from design and deployment of data centres, telecoms for rail to telecom mobile phone coverage sites throughout Africa and OCEANA.

For the last 4 years, working for Nokia Networks, he has been designing, being part of a site acquisition team, getting access to key locations in cities and deploying telecom small cell sites and solutions in key city centres in Australia for Optus and Vodafone.

For a time, between 2004 to 2007, Clinton specialised in the end-to-end design and deployment of remote renewable energised, and low OPEX communication sites with the successful deployment of sites in Malawi and Mozambique.

“I am what industry calls a ‘telecommunication’s infrastructure-site design and engineering expert’” Clinton says, “A South African living in Australia for the last 12 years as a permanent resident, happily married with two young children.

Working in my previous company, we had direct insight into the massive impact that IoT, high data demand and automation, using 4G and 5G would cause in countries and industries around the world. The shocking realisation was how unprepared governments and industries [still are] and what an incredible opportunity awaits companies who were willing to innovate to meet the challenge.

The Forth Industrial Revolution creates a massive demand for suitable infrastructure, with probably the largest impacted area and possibly the most challenging, being our city streets and road landscapes. From Johannesburg to St Petersburg, the same vacuum persists – the same incredible opportunity awaits.

LIGMAN and LIGMAN Evolve are perfectly situated to capture a healthy portion of this worldwide business.”

We welcome Clinton’s wealth of technical experience which will greatly aid the success of the newly formed LIGMAN Evolve in Sydney, Australia.

International Lighting Design Family Tree (ILDFT) Website goes Live!

News: International Lighting Design Family Tree (ILDFT)

As proud supporters of Light Collective’s International Lighting Design Family Tree project alongside arc magazine, LIGMAN are excited to announce that the ILDFT website is now live!

https://lightingdesignfamilytree.com/

Not only are we supporters, we will be ready to host a very special first ILDFT event on our stand at Light & Building.

The ILDFT in the words of Light Collective:

“Data represents real life. It is a snapshot of the world in the same way that a picture catches a small moment in time. Dense and unconventional data visualisations promote slowness—a particularly poignant goal to set in our era of ever-shortening attention spans. If we can create visuals that encourage careful reading and personal engagement, people will find more and more real value in data and in what it represents.”

– Information designer, Giorgia Lupi

In 2011, Light Collective scribbled out our personal branch of the Lighting Design Family Tree. Then in 2014, we went on to create a bigger family tree infographic to include other designers in the UK to demonstrate the entangled mesh of practices and people. Now, we are ready for something bigger. With the help of LIGMAN, we are planning to create an International Lighting Design Family Tree.

The new version is going to be global; exploring the career paths of the lighting design profession. If you are currently working as a lighting designer, we would like you to use the link below to share with us the companies you have worked with in your lighting design career. We plan to use this data to create a physical version of the International Lighting Designers Family Tree on the LIGMAN stand (Hall 4.0 – E21) at Light & Building in 2020.

If you don’t get around to adding your data online, you can visit and add yourself on to the wall. If you do add your data, come along and see what we have created.
