2. Reports on ISA activities

2.1 Report of the ISA Council of Management

On behalf of the Council of

Management, ISA Director Mr. Fred

Quan gave a brief introduction on the

ISA 5th

Executive Member Meeting,

reported the results of several proposals

discussed and issues addressed.

The Proposal on developing ISA

Industrial Report was discussed, it is

important to invite ISA Members to

have a full discussion on this topic and

decide what they really want; The team and resources for this proposal must be

sufficient and fully capable, and there must be commitment from members; The

quality and accuracy of this report must be guaranteed, and it should be financially

feasible.

The proposal on set up an ISA Science and Technology Committee was agreed by all

members. Professor Robert Karlicek, Professor Guoqi Zhang, and Professor Istvan

Barsony from ISA Board of Advisors were recommended to take the leadership. A

working plan for this Committee will be completed and available for comments by the

end of this year.

The Proposal on set up the position of ISA Vice President was also discussed. The

structure of “Vice President” in current ISA governance should clarified to avoid

bureaucracy and waste of resources; “Vice President” should be responsible and

initiating operational tasks assisted by the ISA Secretariat; Volunteers from our

membership for these positions are welcome. The Secretariat will draft the structure

and plan by the end this year.

The issue of categorizing the “Award of Outstanding Achievement for Global SSL

Development (AOA)” was addressed, the name of the AOA award will remain in

general terms; and the citation of the winners of AOA should be more specific on the

exact field that he or she has made outstanding achievements.

The preparation for the election of the next term of Executive Members was also

addressed. The following principles will be followed when recommend new COM

members: Limited to “Not for profit” organization, non-commercial entities

(associations, societies, alliance etc.); The impact and influence; The balance of

4

industrial expertise and regions, and also the commitment and dedication. The call for

nominations will be sent out next year;

by Mr. James Wallace (Director of

Professional Lighting Designers

Association (PLDA).

ISA MSAC (Municipal SSL Application Committee), Co-chaired by Mr. Ed

Ebrahimian (Bureau of Street Lighting Director-City of Los Angeles)

The Follow-up Actions:

Municipal Applications from Unilumin

CAO Group and Unilumin kindly sponsored this ISA Working Meeting and the

Seminar.

2.3 Report of the Technical Committee on Standardization (TCS)

The chair of TCS Mr. Mark McClear introduced the latest progress of TCS. The

purpose of the TCS is to influence and accelerate the development of regional and

global Solid State Lighting standards and make recommendations and cooperate with

worldwide standards organizations to promote their adoption.

So far, 4 meetings have been held in 17 months. During TCS4 (Beijing, 10-Nov-13),

the bylaw is balloted and approved, and teams were formed for white paper

publication of selected topics.

TCS5 will be held in Frankfurt in early April in 2014, it is expect to publish first

whitepaper (Shortening Reliability Testing Time; CSA).

7

2.4 Report on the “White Paper on LED General Lighting and Blue Light”

Dr. Yongqin Zeng introduced the purpose of the white paper is to provide best

knowledge, fact-based evidences and data to:

To respond to and clarify the public concerns by providing reliable facts

To call on the industry organizations to take corporate responsibility

To strengthen the decision-makers’ confidence on promoting LED lighting

It was organized by ISA, CSA and CIES.

And it was widely participated by various organizations and professionals:

The major conclusion of the white paper is: It is completely safe to human eyes when

the qualified white LED products for general lighting are used in correct ways.

2.5 Report on the 2013 Cross‐talk among LED Manufacturers, Lighting

Designers & Users

Professor Luoxi Hao from Tongji University introduced the details of the Cross-talk.

It was held in Guangzhou, China on June11th

,2013 , with more than 30 participants

from LED manufactures, professional lighting designers, academia, etc. It is an event

under ISA WG6: Lighting Design& Applications, joint organized by ISA and PLDA,

and Co-chaired by Mr. James Wallace and Professor Luoxi Hao.

Based on previous survey, 8 challenges were identified and discussed:

9

Trends are reflected by the meeting:

WG6 is helpful to strengthen direct

communication, mutual understanding,

and barriers and knowledge gap

elimination;

So far, quality issue is still the major

factor when designers are considering

whether to adopt SSL products or not;

The relationship between the

adoption of SSL products in retrofit

projects or individual projects and

the professional lighting designers

is not intimate enough

Professional lighting designers will

be the major driver of SSL

adoption in the office buildings, residential houses and schools in the

upcoming urbanization process .

The mutual expectation among the designers, manufacturers and end users still

requires further communication, including technical feasibility, cost

acceptability, etc.

Next Cross-talk will be held during Light + Building 2014 in Frankfurt.
