REAL SCIENCE

The following is from a presentation entitled “Correlations of Solid Angular Flux Extensions on Synthesized Mesopic Visual Constraints Due To Efficiently-coupled Collimated Closed Loop, Vector-Magnetized Resonators in Luminous Bi-directional Phenomenolocially Based Chroma Models Using Proportional Luminance Analysis Variants”  presented on July 7, 2005 by Dr. Thurston Hungar LC, MIES, EIEIO, Director of Scientific Jargon for the Institute for Very Bright Things, a federally funded think-tank which meets biannually to present clarification of new scientific concepts in illumination. 

“Because of the juxtaposition of reflected ambient luminous flux in the photonic plane, the modulated spectroscopy compounds the tendency of the uplight component to augment the radiant energy delivered in the bipolar regions. When this protonic energy deforms (i.e. the propinquity deformation theorem) it undergoes a transformation to a photoluminescent state. This luminous energy form has a propensity to travel in a state of columniation known as prosodation. This output is measured in units called “phlox” denoting the “photoluminescent flux” present in its partita.  Phlox is then delivered to a photoreceptor where it remains insolvent until lucubration occurs, usually in the 410 - 530 nm range. The direct result of this lucubration is the release of an alignment of energy streams known as imbrication, producing the state of radical luminance that delivers effective luminaire efficiencies in the 204 – 253% range.

To elucidate further, juxtaposition of pupil striation in the ocular plane will allow corneal “fenestration” which repalcitrates the macular imaging on the foveal receptor. In effect, subdural absorption of spectral energy occurs with an almost tactile responsivity to the photoreceptor activity. Molecular photonomy (relative to luminous flux in this case) will palpate the retinal glandular philinae and produce what is commonly known as the “Rinehausgefelder” effect. Studies show conclusive proof of insensitivity of the maculae when percolation of the photons are prevented via osmonotic thrust. Thus, circadian responsivity is increased under volumetrically delineated lumens, but (and this is important) only under laboratory conditions. In real life, the lumens/cubic meter approach more effectively predicates ocular flexion with resultant correlated fluxation”.

Confused? You should be. Just because someone sounds scientific doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about.

There are accepted, recommended methods of calculating the levels and effects of artificial lighting, and they are based on human physiology, science, and the laws of physics. We cannot refute these laws. We cannot achieve 100% efficiency (or more), no matter how you drape it with interpretations and excuses. At The Light Edge, we don’t speak out of both sides of our mouths. If we don’t know the answer, we’ll admit it, and then we’ll find out the facts. If we tell you something, it’s a result of learned knowledge and experience, studies, independent testing and actual laws of physics, as taught at facilities known as “universities”.

At The Light Edge, we’re different. We weren’t selling toasters last month. We have years of experience in architecture, electrical design, lighting design, electrical distribution, product development, construction management, manufacturing, and sales. We bring all of that experience to you, the customer. We believe we have to have integrity.  We believe in telling the truth.  That’s what we do and we do it well.

So, specifier, beware! There’s an awful lot of ‘snake oil’ out there: misrepresentation, empty promises, and outright lies. Listen carefully – if it doesn’t make clear sense to you, it’s probably not the full picture. Question those salespeople! Demand clear, understandable answers to your concerns.

TLE always welcomes your questions regarding artificial illumination sources, control, application and design.
