Message from the President & CEO of LIGMAN

As the spread of COVID-19 sadly continues to develop, LIGMAN will remain open whilst providing a safe environment for our employees and clients. All our global factories and premises are following WHO and local guidance.

We are taking extra precautions including an internal awareness campaign, regular sanitising and sterilising or work areas and installing gel stations throughout our facilities. Also implementing temperature checks to the staff at our main factories and a policy of social separation and closed doors to our premises during working hours.

Any employees that may be feeling sick, have been around someone who is sick or have recently travelled to a high-risk area, have been required to self-isolated and work from home for at least 14 days and all external meetings have been prohibited with video conferencing to be used in their place.

Our goal is to keep our clients, staff and community safe while we continue to provide services to meet the continued demand. Together, we can all do our part to keep our employees, customers and community healthy during this time.

I thank you for your support during this worldwide crisis and our hearts and minds are with everyone to remain safe and healthy.

Yours Faithfully,

President & Group CEO

Project – University of Twente – TechMed Centre, Netherlands

GLIMP Netherlands, one of LIGMANs valued global distributer partners, recently completed the TechMed Centre project at the University of Twente. The TechMed Centre is beautiful renovation of the University’s former ‘Technohal’ and provides new students facilities for their Honours programme, housing the Honours Office, study association, Ockham, MRI-Centre and extra meeting spaces.

The design provides a more visible and approachable environment for students and its central location offers an O&O square and DesignLab close by at campus and also houses quarterly events where more than a hundred students come together.

Working closely with the Royal BAM Group nv and Efftink Construction B.V , the Project solution comprised of over 100 Indoor NYBRO linear fixtures in communal and washroom areas plus custom galvanised steel-suspended exterior LIGHTALK luminaires undertaken through the LIGMAN Tailor-Made service.

Also within the project site are our recessed LIGHTALK fixtures used to illuminate the University sign, an installation designed through Illuments and Lightbusters.

New product – ODESSA 2-G Gobo projector

LIGMAN is delighted to launch our ground-breaking affordable new Gobo Projector version of the ODESSA 2. Designed to match and be interchangeable with the whole ODESSA 2 range, the ODESSA 2-G fixture utilises the same rear casting and mounting options as its standard counterpart, maintaining the IP-66 rating and finish options, but we have designed a completely new graceful tapered cast-aluminium front end around a new special 45W LED source and which houses precise lens optics, a gobo holder rail system and three different focal lengths offering Narrow, Medium and Narrow beam options.

In addition, rather than having to remove the whole front housing as some other brands do with their ‘snoots’, LIGMAN’s provides an easy to remove side access hatch which allows all site aiming and tuning to be undertaken without the need for demounting and keeps the front cover glass in place for image accuracy.

The ODESSA 2-G can be installed as part of any Cluster Columns or columns such as the L-COLUMN and VANCOUVER, on the ODESSA Surface-mount Frames or just individually as you prefer. The opportunities are limitless…

To give customers the maximum choice and flexibility regarding gobo choices, the ODESSA 2-G range is designed around the international Standard Size-E gobo (37.5mm OD). This means one can provide their own third-party gobos if preferred, but we also will offer a number of gobo options directly as specifiable accessories; ranging from Eight standard steel laser-cut patterns (Photo-4 below) as well as a custom design service for glass 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5-colour dichroic gobos which cover anything from a single-colour logo or text, to multi-colour logos and patterns, all the way to colour photographs.

Product Specifications:

45W. Die-cast aluminium housing pre-treated before powder coating ensuring high corrosion resistance. Single cable entry. One IP68 connector supplied with 0.2 m of 3×1.0 sqmm outdoor cable. Stainless steel fasteners in grade 316. Durable silicone rubber gasket. Clear toughened front cover glass. Arm mounting installation, Integral control gear. Gasketed side-entry gobo access hatch. Internal rear collimating lens. Three-optional focal-length forward lenses. Front cover glass. Gobo holder (suitable for metal or glass gobos). Takes standard Size-E gobos.

Report – NASA-IES Conference on Lighting for difficult environments

The first joint conference held by both the Illuminating Engineering Society and NASA recently took place at the Johnson Space Centre in Houston. Entitled Lighting for Difficult Environments and sponsored by LIGMAN Lighting USA and other professional partners, it brought together experts from a wide variety of backgrounds to discuss lighting for human habitats with a strong focus on the future long-term space travel requirements for the planned Moon Base and Mars missions.

In the morning, led by Toni Clark PE, NASA JSC HHPC Fellow for Spacecraft Lighting Environments (Leidos,Inc.) and other experts from NASA involved with the ISS internal lighting as well as future habitat engineering and EMU spacesuit helmet lighting systems, shared their work with the audience which was followed by a presentation by NASA astronaut Jerry Ross on his first hand experiences of sleep difficulties and coping with 16 sunrises every day in earth orbit.

There then followed a keynote presentation by Dr. George Brainard, PhD, Director of the Light Research Program (Thomas Jefferson University). Dr. Brainard has written numerous papers on the subject of human circadian lighting since the beginning of this century as well as working on specific research programs with NASA and the ISS. One of his key messages to take home was the importance of looking only at evidence-based solutions, claims and matrices as we move forward with this subject in future lighting sectors.

Dr. Brainard and Toni Clark then joined a panel alongside:

Ian Ashdown, PE (Ret.), FIES, Senior Scientist (SunTracker Ltd.)
Lee Brown, MD, Health System Sleep Disorders Center (University of New Mexico), Tenured Prof of Internal Medicine and Paediatrics, Adj. Prof. ECE
Rachel Fitzgerald, CLD, LC, IALD, LEED BD+C, Senior Associate, Discipline Lead, Lighting (Stantec)
Haniyeh Mirdamadi, Designer | Lighting at Arup and lighting designer for AI Space Factory MARSHA habitats
Martin Valentine, FSLL, MIES – LIGMAN Global Design Director

The panellists presented their various work, with LIGMAN’s Martin Valentine sharing his passion-project of designing the human habitat lighting for the Halley VI permanent Antarctica Science station in which base staff have lived now through 7 winters in which there is no natural sunlight availability for over 100 days each year.

One of the takeaways from the conference was how aligned the professional lighting world is with what NASA are researching and planning and the consistent messages and solutions presented from all parties, plus the need always for proper applied research and evidence-based solutions.

The day finished with a tour of the Space Centre and NASA’s Space Vehicle Mock-up Facility in which every module of the current ISS is laid out together with past, present and future space vehicles, various prototype robots and lunar and mars rovers.

Finally, there was a special closing dinner hosted by another NASA Shuttle Astronaut: Mark Polansky.

This conference could not have taken place without the hard work and organisation of Jared Gunlock, President of the IESMA Houston Section and Toni Clark. LIGMAN would like to express our thanks to them and all other involved in making this enlightening event happen.
