IESLA Hollywood Sign Lighting Proposal

Origins of White LED Technology

Branding with Light in
the Age of LED with
Andy Powell of
Lighting Design Alliance

Date:
September 24, 2015

Businesses large and small utilize lighting to draw the attention of potential customers, and to reinforce branding.

Andrew Powell of Lighting Design Alliance will present one specific example of a client, Chase Bank, who decided to reinforce their branding through the use of façade lighting on select bank branches throughout the United States. Varying architectural building styles, site conditions and the real functional needs of exterior lighting at a bank branch all created design challenges throughout the process.

Blossoming of the wide array of LED luminaires available today allow for design solutions not possible previously. The promise of superior optics, long life, low maintenance, energy efficient solutions made LED’s the obvious choice. But 4 to 5 years since the inception of the program, are these promises panning out?

In addition to the concept of “branding with light”, and the exciting design challenges these specific projects posed, Andrew will touch on some of the lessons learned as these installed LED systems age.
