La luce, today, is increasingly dynamic, flexible, intelligent, integrated, making possible applications once unthinkable.
Just new technologies for the smart and the human-centric lighting will be the focus of the next Lumen Fortronic.
Milan, 26 March 2015
Crowne Plaza Hotel
Lumen & Wireless Fortronic, the event promoted by Assodel, (National Association of Electronic Districts) in collaboration with the Consortium Elint, is once again the reference event for the world of LED technology, SSL (Solid State Lighting) and Wireless for a lighting "Human Centric".
That the integration between lighting, intelligent control technology and well-being was now a “must” for the worlds of electronics and lighting was now taken certain, but over 300 operators in the sector that earned the success of Lumen & Wireless Fortronic testify to the need to confront more and more about the latest trends in this sector continues to expand and evolve. A great business opportunity, therefore, that requires a technological background adequately updated.
Assodel, (Italian Association of Electronic Districts) offered, with the forum vertical promoted under the aegis of’International Year of Light 2015, an opportunity to make some progress in this need to upgrade to integrated products and intelligent, declining LED and wireless solutions in the concept of smart light, energy saving and “Human Centric Lighting and Technologies”. In addition to the conference sessions, the possibility, as in any event weblog Fortronic, to know the latest news from the market in the exhibition area.
Smart SSL and integration with the world of wireless
A conference room packed welcomed, since morning, double plenary session coordinated by Franco Musiari, technical director of Assodel, and dedicated to the Solid State Lighting and intelligent application of wireless solutions in systems LED lighting. Appreciated the actions of industry experts and representatives of industry leaders, how Bridgelux (Melchioni), Long Lasting, LED No (Acsel Electronics) and Xicato (Altec), on the front “Smart SSL” and Harvard Engineering, STMicroelectronics (EBV Electronic), Casambi (Myth) and Arrow, in terms of the added value offered by wireless.

Program of the Day
9.30: Welcome and Introduction – Franco Musiari, Assodel,
Part I: Smart Solid State Lighting
When man becomes the first recipient of the lighting of the environments in which they live, those who produce lighting systems must become more sensitive to how to respond to these new requirements that combine energy saving to the welfare of those who travel in a daylight.
09.40: The "Human Centric Lighting" starts with the light of the latest generation LEDs - Ettore Fici, Bridgelux by Melchioni
A new approach "human centric" to the development of new LED products with a new attention to the colors and their perception by the human observer with the CRI requires a new index - the Gamut Area Index (GAI) to better measure how light and color are perceived. The CRI provides a measure of consistency in color reproduction but the eye is also sensitive to the color saturation, which takes into account the JHA.
10.00: The perfect light for a perfect day - Alessandra Biondi, Long Lasting
In a million years that man has walked the earth before our eyes, the brain and body have learned what it means to a spectrum of light perfect for our needs. Our behaviors, our emotional well-being and our interactions depend on the perception of light and color.
The light interacts with and affects the life cycles sleep / wake, predisposes to relax or stimulate better performance …
10.20: How can multicolor emitters contribute to human centric lighting - Wojtek Warmth, LED Engin by Acsel Electronics
