Cluster-building among universities, light-fitting producers and municipalities

Dates: 29-31 March 2011
Location/ Host: Linnaeus University, School of Design, Pukeberg, Sweden.

From the combination of subject matters like: energy efficiency, design, technology and public space, the KHES.2 explores the topics:

• Light and Lighting
  To contextualize the LED technology on the broader and much complex Light and Lighting context in Public Space.
• Light Urban Design Development
  The Public Space scale where LED Lighting may have positive interaction with the pedestrian city life.
• Design Lighting and Products: Luminaries (light-fittings)
  Another Scale of Design of equivalent pertinence on Public Space relates to the complementary activity “DDC Competition” Design Development Competition.

The format will follow the same structure successfully implemented in Klaipeda KHES.1
The LED Academy is materialized during this Seminar in Kalmar KHES.2

The project will publish approximately two newsletters a year, in total six issues.

The Design Development Competition, coordinated by C3, is now launched. The LED-project is invinting Bachelor and Master Students to enter our competition The Dark and the Street Lights Challenge.

It is an International Design Competition for Lighting Design and Outdoor LED Luminaires (OLL) developed for a specific context and use.
We expect design proposals for lighting products – luminaires – considering their inherent light distributions creating a lighting design solution, which deal with value to public space and city night life.

We will try to use the web-tool Adobe Connect to improve the internal communication between the component meetings.

You need a headset and a camera and before the meeting you can test your audio and visual quality at http://startguide.wezupport.se

Thereafter you can go to the meeting room of the project: http://ubc.emea.acrobat.com/led

If you have any questions about Adobe, please contact Eva: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
