Rong Haolei: balance of lighting design

For application and promotion of new light source LED, one of the Tsinghua Planning Institute of light environment institute director Rong Haolei is also an active practitioner. In 2006, in the case of its design, the amount of LED accounted for only 5%; by 2011, LED in the total value of its products in more than 56%. Rong Haolei said, lighting design does not encourage premature use of new technologies, should be taken into a dialectical view.

On how to evaluate the lighting design, Rong Haolei cited a French famous lighting designer Louis Clair's view: "a good lighting design should include four elements: audience subjective love; if there is a glare; from a different perspective, there is no sense of the picture can directly see the creative design. "

How meet these requirements? Rong Haolei believes that as far as possible between art and technology and design concept and requirements of the owner and between the investment and the design effect for balance, the maximum has been recognized by all parties, to enhance the overall satisfaction.

Mining city characteristics

Rong Haolei due to lighting planning large-scale city scale, good story and unique humanistic connotation of city lights tell by language.

There are a lot of homogenization of the city China, but when the lighting design, people want the most deeply mining city personality and cultural characteristics, the lighting design is done more with a sense of belonging and uniqueness. Rong Haolei believes that the excavation of urban characteristics, the basic can not escape the natural, history, culture, the three keywords, but to truly implement, is not easy.

Actually any city has its characteristics and natural latitude. Taking Chongqing as an example, there is a fog, there are mountains and water in the presence of natural conditions on the formation of the characteristics of the combination. Many cities have mountains, but there is not a mountain at the same time fog, fog and not necessarily at the same time there is water.

Also features of human activities is very important, we should fully respect the local people the history of customary festivals, folk customs, such as the Meizhou project, in Fujian Hakka culture, there will be a lot of interesting things. Like Ningbo, Sanjiang six shore project tide, only in the scene will be found in you.

In short to avoid making the design scheme in general, before two weeks the team will arrange hard, divergent looking for information, and then on the possibility of creative and design, in order to find an ideal solution. There are no shortcuts, there will be no two exactly the same city, each city has its characteristics.

Lighting art and technology

Lighting core concern is the basic requirement of human visual function, now already is not only the pursuit of lighting to illuminate the basic function. As a very flexible element, lighting should be integrated with culture and art, so as to meet people's emotional and spiritual needs.

Rong Haolei believes that the creative idea is the core connotation of design works. This requires a lot of technical support and construction coordination.

Creative light is not enough, so only the greatest degree of assurance can be implemented, and easy maintenance can make creative thinking embodied.

Project funds and the design effect

How to balance between the effect of project investment is one of the lighting and lighting designers need to consider the issue. In the face of aesthetic taste and cultural accomplishment of uneven owners, lighting designers should play their professional accomplishment, realize the design concept of the self, or the owner should listen to the views, modified design concepts and their influence on the lighting effect of the owners thinking. There are designers jokingly, the upper body is the owner of the thinking, the lower body is the design thinking, the need to balance between the two.

Haolei Rong said: "I always adhere to in the lighting design of the stand is on behalf of the interests of customers, the core is the most reasonable customer funds to obtain the ideal effect of lighting design. Lighting designers should not hold the owners money to realize their ideals, should be in service for owners of the thought, while playing a lighting designer's professional quality, based on the owners given project investment, to achieve good effect as far as possible.

"That is to say, I am in the design is not simply to save money for customers, but also does not encourage regardless of the cost approach. If in order to meet some of the customer's psychological savings, excessive pressure low cost, the direct result is that the design of the works can not be able to present the results. On the contrary, if the designer encourages customers to spend too much, it will directly harm the interests of customers. Rong Haolei said.

Of domestic brands and foreign brands

Continuous lighting manufacturers domestic calls for a change of user blind admiration for international brands, and enhance the recognition of the problem of domestic brands. Rong Haolei said that the principle of product selection is not blindly choose high-end brands, but the choice of cost-effective products. Under this premise, a part of the product to meet the requirements of the product, and then on-site testing of these products to see whether it can achieve the design effect.

In recent years, domestic products can basically meet the need of the design, compared with the imported brands with low price, short delivery time and other advantages. Now for those large, tight schedule of the project, Rong Haolei said, in general, to meet the design requirements of the first choice of domestic brands.
