BBC calls on expertise of The LIA for SAD lamp investigation

(UK) - The LIA Laboratory has been showcasing its breadth of expertise as Ayça Donaghy, CEO of the LIA, recently featured on the BBC’s Morning Live to discuss Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

The call to The LIA Laboratory came as the BBC set out to investigate the effectiveness of SAD lamps; a common technology used to counter the effects of the disorder. Known for its technical prowess, The LIA Laboratory was selected to test the products, with Donaghy taking to our screens to present the findings.

With more than two million people in the UK suffering with SAD, it is a vital topic to raise awareness of. SAD is a form of depression that occurs during the winter months when there is less daylight. SAD presents as persistent low mood, oversleeping and overeating, with fatigue affecting sufferers in their day-to-day activities.

Medical professionals recommend a higher dose of vitamin D alongside trying to get more sunlight during the day to treat SAD. Another tool used to treat the condition is SAD lamps. These are designed to deliver a dose of light that can potentially deliver the same levels of light as being in sunlight.

With a plethora of SAD lamps on the market, ranging in price from £10 up to £300, it is difficult for consumers to know where to start. This was the driving factor behind the BBC enlisting The LIA Laboratory’s expertise to test the lamps.

Any lamp can be marketed as a SAD lamp, and there is no requirement for them to be registered as medical devices. The three lamps selected by the BBC team and scrutinised by The LIA Laboratory are not registered, so the testing on these lamps is likely to be limited in its scope. The lamps spanned three price ranges – low, middle, and high.

First, the lamps were tested for their UV output. Donaghy revealed to viewers that all of the products were risk group zero, or exempt, which meant they could not cause any damage to the end-user.

Next, The LIA Laboratory tested colour temperature. Donaghy was able to confirm that all products were in 1% of their claims, meaning they are close to the natural sunlight levels they state they are.

Finally, lux levels were tested. It is recommended that SAD lamps have a brightness level of 10,000lx to mimic outdoor light. All three lamps passed this, however, The LIA Laboratory also tested how far users need to be from the lamp to benefit from the effects and receive the 10,000lx. Donaghy told viewers that it was actually the lowest price point product that performed best when it came to the lux levels. Users could sit as far away as 18cm from the product to get the 10,000lx. From the middle of the range, it was 13cm and the highest price point product, it was 8cm.

Overall, of the three products tested, Donaghy concluded for viewers that it was the lowest price point product that performed best. While the scientific evidence on the effectiveness of SAD lamps on treating the disorder remains limited at present, lots of users report strong success rates. The LIA Laboratory testing does conclude that price isn’t always the best indicator of effectiveness, which will no doubt be a useful message for those currently making a purchase.

Donaghy said: “We are honoured to have been approached by the BBC for testing, a testament to the excellence of our accredited laboratory and the expertise within the LIA Laboratory team. The positive collaboration has sparked a mutual desire to work together again, so watch this space!”

Donaghy advised: “Do your research, have a look at the instruction manual and what it says the correct distance to sit away from the lamp is to achieve the correct levels for the desired effect. If you want the extra reassurance, you can look for the ‘Class 2A Medical Device’ which means it has gone through third-party verification above and beyond what is required.”

Barovier&Toso feature in “Murano Illumina il Mondo

(Italy) - Barovier&Toso participates in the Murano Illuminina il Mondo, an art exhibition in Venice, Piazza San Marco where Murano glass industry meets contemporary art.

Murano Illuminates the World is the project promoted by The Venice Glass Week and the Municipality of Venice, which brings an exhibition project to Piazza San Marco and puts the spotlight on Murano glass and its future.

12 chandeliers came from the collaboration between 12 internationally renowned artists and nine of the most prestigious Murano furnaces. All artists were invited to reinterpret and transform a daily use object, such as the chandelier, into a work of art.

Each piece is used to transform Piazza San Marco to create a public art intervention for residents and tourists. Barovier&Toso created two bespoke chandeliers’, the first is Siphonophera by glass maker and artist Giorgio Vigna, and Il Redentore by artistic duo Monica Guggisberg and Phillip Baldwin.

Vigna chose to use Venetian crystal combining it with steel for his piece Siphonophera. Inspired by the wind and the water, natural elements that shape the form of  the light sculpture, creating a sense of movement so when suspended  it seems to sway to the rhythm of the wind.

Il Redentore, designed by Baldwin and Guggisberg, had the challenge of creating something contemporary and classic, both of the 19th century and of the 21st. The chandelier is composed of 44 arms in Venetian crystal, positioned on three levels: at the first level eight arms in antalia green, at the second 16 arms in bluastro tones, longer and more curved, and at the third level 20 red arms, even more extended and reaching upwards.

The internal silver specks, give the sculpture a sparkling appearance. In green, bluastro and red, the mounts that accommodate the arms are of the same colour, accentuating the chromatic strength of the entire chandelier.

This is the first edition of the exhibition and will be open to the public to see from 24 November 2023 to 29 February 2024.

LiGHT 23 Product Highlights from the Designers

(UK) - In November 2023, LiGHT, the UK’s only light specification show, made a dazzling return to London presenting an unparalleled showcase of innovation in lighting design. Drawing a diverse audience from the design community, the event unveiled an array of products, insightful talks programme and networking gatherings, with an augmentation to decorative lighting sector. The new darc space decorative areasaw high-end lighting brands for the interiors market exhibit in this space for the first time – names such as Empty State, Marset, Nexia, Artemide, Ebb & Flow, Lodes, and Quasar to name but a few. The Business Design Centre was teeming with talent, making it challenging for us at darc to narrow down the highlights of the show. Therefore, we enlisted the expertise of several designers, asking them to leverage their discerning taste and give insight to the darc readers on what they saw.

Krishna Mistry, Lighting Designer and Founder of Mistry Lighting, shared her favourite product from the show: “The Stellar Nebula caught my eye; I love the organic shape and the way the glass interacts with the light. I can see it working very well within a double height central London apartment we are currently working on to create a statement feature using a cluster of different sized pendants suspended as different heights.”

Italian company, Artemide, makes its Stellar Nebular family of lamps through artisanal glass blowing techniques before being shaped by hand by master glass makers. This process ensures the “organic” quality that Mistry was captured by, with each lamp being a slightly unique crafted piece. After each lamp is shaped it is coated with a sustainable dichroic finish. This creates not only a protective coat but leaves beautiful rainbow refractions as light permeates the glass. The hanging pendant that was displayed during LiGHT 23 suspended on delicate wires, creating a beautiful scene like bubbles floating in the sky. As Mistry pointed out, it’s the perfect versatile product, with a range of sizes and lengths of its product allow it to be suitable for various ceiling suspensions – as well as being a brand with a sustainable edge.

Darren Orrow, Director and Lighting Designer at into lighting, gave his highlight that collided two realms of light, that are architectural and decorative. Orrow said: “As architectural lighting designers it is often difficult to accurately represent decorative lighting in our light calculations as there may be no LDT or IES files. I was impressed to see that Franklite have their own photometer, spectrometer and a Rigo 801-1500 near-field Goniophotometer – a cutting edge device used for measurement of light emitted from an object at different angles. So, we can now use their photometric data in ELUMDAT (.ldt) and IESNA (.ies) formats in our lux calculations.”

Franklite showcased in-house technology such as the Rigo Near-Field Goniophotometer, LED plates and award-winning tuneable lighting engines that demonstrated the smooth transitions from cool to warm at their LiGHT 23 exhibit stand. Franklite’s stand not only exemplified the brand's commitment to optimal performance but also featured a striking balance of aesthetics. The demonstration of smooth transitions from cool to warm light using their tuneable lighting display was a standout, mirroring the brand's dedication to both functionality and beauty. Exclusive decorative pieces previewed for the upcoming year included a finely detailed crystal chandelier with a halo structure and modern wall lamps in circular shapes; the latter diffused light in a manner reminiscent of an eclipse.

Marcus Steffan, director of MS Lighting, chose LYM’s Halley table lights, he said: “The floor standing and table reading lights were really interesting with their simple design but also working by plugging into a USB port. This opens up lots of opportunities for flexible use, even powering them from battery packs, which can be great for temporary setups.”

Hailing from Sacile in North Eastern Italy, LYM displayed its Hally range designed with practicality and performance with clean and minimal design in mind. The table lamp, that doubles up as a bedside table lamp, and half-floor lamp is equipped with a luminous projector-like diffusion, that emits 25-degree beam of light. The floor lamp has a special touch control feature that goes all along the lamp’s stem therefore avoiding the interference of keyboards. The Halley range was an apt choice for anyone searching for a more contemporary design with seamless blend of functionality and stylish lighting solution.

Stephanie Dias, Interior Designer, and member of BIID gave her highlight spot to Lodes’ Random globe pendant display, she said: I really like the impressive installation made by Lodes with designer Chia-Ying Lee. I believe they are a relatively new brand, but I was captivated by the synergy between the form of the globes and the various finishes used. I am confident that this chandelier would be a great addition to our projects.” The second Italian brand that made the spotlight, Lodes, which kept its exhibit stand simple yet eye-catching. On its stand, Lodes showcased a creative arrangement of pendants, suspending a cluster of globes at different heights to create spiralling shapes in the air. This transitioned seamlessly into its three shade finishes – clear, opal and smoked. The various finishes and full customisation were a brilliant spot from Dias as it can be utilised for residential projects or larger installations for spaces with double height ceilings.

LDF will not be returning in 2024

(UK) - LDF have announced the show will not be returning in 2024. Despite a successful return in 2023, with over 13,000 visitors, and a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Diversified Communications have decided to postpone LDF for the immediate future.

Carsten Holm, Managing Director of Diversified Communications said; “I am so proud of the team, who have worked so incredibly hard in delivering a world-class event, promoting excellence in design both here in the UK and to an international audience. The event has always been a highlight of the design year, with incredible engagement from the community, including over 100,000 followers on social media, and 13,000 people coming to the show this year. However, we have found it increasingly difficult to serve the very broad spectrum of companies exhibiting at the fair effectively and reconcile the high expectations for an event of this quality, with the commercial support from the industry.” 

Holm adds, “London Design Fair leaves a legacy of creativity, innovation, and community. The decision to postpone reflects the commitment to delivering an event that not only meets but exceeds the high standards set by the diverse and dynamic design community. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our incredible partners, exhibitors and visitors for all their support over the years and are as disappointed as they are that the show will not take place again in 2024.”
