LEDs Projects Among Winners of IALD Design Awards

LEDs Projects Among Winners of IALD Design Awards
The International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) has presented its annual Lighting Design Awards, including several LED-related projects.

Nine Awards of Excellence were presented, with the Radiance Award going to the Retail/Entertainment entry, the Tourneau Time Dome in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

The design concept for this watch store on the Las Vegas strip was to accent the architecture while highlighting the products in an energy-efficient manner.

The two-story interior features a ceiling made of overlapping "onion-skins".

The outer shell is lit with hidden color-changing LEDs, while an inner dome hangs over the display cases, lit with LEDs, MR16s and moving light projectors, providing an experience that shifts with time.

The display cases are lit with multiple interior sources to provide sparkle.

Custom table lamps provide lighting to products out of the case and a warm glow to the patrons and staff.

Principal lighting designer on the project was Paul Gregory of Focus Lighting in New York City. Other lighting designers credited on the project are Ken Ventry and J.P. Lira.
