The aim of the CPD seminar is to give a basic understanding of lighting principles, terms, light output and colour, so the importance of a lighting design is understood; allowing you to ensure that lighting becomes an integrated part of the building’s architecture.

Concepts and considerations for lighting design encompassed in the seminar include:
Different qualities of light.
Different ways of measuring light.
The ability to select the correct type of lamp for a given application.
The ability to select the correct type of luminaire for a given application.

In the seminar wink explore the difference between Illuminance and Luminance. Illuminance, measured in lux, is the amount of light falling on a surface. Luminance, measured in candelas, is the amount of light reflecting off a surface. We also examine the two main factors to consider when discussing the appearance of light: Colour temperature and colour rendering index.

Sandwiches,tea and coffee provided.
The seminar is presented by Rocky Wall MD of Wink Lighting.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

With the most informative and helpful advice on our new self build here on the west coast of Ireland, Rocky and his team have provided us with the most fantastic lighting we could have only dreamt of. The final result has been to completely transform our house into a most warm and welcoming home, with many comments from family and friends on the difference that really good lighting can make to a home.

Residential lighting design
The premise of the talk was that lighting, be it natural or artificial, such be designed as one element.

Robert Payne – Cullen Payne Architects
Speaking about The Ballyroan Library ,
The building looks fantastic the architectural, structural, lighting, H&S among others are excellent and the energy efficiency of the build is in a high level (A3) standard. We are all proud of that building and our target is to increase the number of high efficient buildings throughout the county.

Enduardo Lopes Galeazzo – Energy Management officier SDCC
We have worked with Wink Lighting for a number of years on varying scales of projects and find Winks approach in understanding our brief to be excellent. We really appreciate the personal approach Rocky Wall gives all our projects and provides endless design ideas to suit varying requirements. Rocky is at ease with tight or generous budgets. Wink where invaluable in developing the lighting scheme for Ballyroan Library and the light fittings sit seamlessly into the buildings architecture and became part of the architecture. Wink lighting is always our first point of call when looking for lighting proposal that complement and enhance the architecture we try and create and we look forward to working with Rocky on future projects.

Gary Mongey – Box Architecture

Mood lighting is also essential. Get it wrong and it’s an instant passion killer. Wink Lighting can create a bespoke system that will impress

ALANNA GALLAGHER – The Irish Times on Saturday
We engaged the Wink team of Rocky and Pawel early in our project plan to ensure any requirements which they came up with could be scheduled into the building program. For example some of the feature lighting they suggested required block-work changes so it was good to capture this requirement early. The team guided us through a choice of light fittings and effects which has given each room its own character while keeping a level of consistency across the whole build. We are very pleased and would recommend Wink to anyone who having spent effort and time on their overall architectural design wants to ensure the effect continues with the most appropriate lighting scheme.

Francis Clauson – The passive house
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for your help and courtesy in dealing with our needs, during our time working with wink, which has resulted in one of the most successful aspects of our project.

Joan Kilgallen – Private Home, Client
Rocky and the team at Wink were fantastic to work with. We involved them early in our build project and Rocky’s experience and expertise very much helped us make other decisions in the design process.

One should never underestimate the importance of lighting in creating mood and drama when planning a home, and with Wink we got both, some great feature pieces creating drama in some rooms along with subtle lighting which change the whole dynamics of a room at night.

I would definitely recommend using Wink for creative, original yet very functional lighting that works for your home.

Annette Buckley – Private Home, Client
Rocky and the team at Wink were a huge help to us in getting the lighting right for our new home in Co. Kilkenny. The house has a somewhat unusual Austrian design with lots of open space and large windows so the lighting design is very important in how it works after dark. The light fittings recommended and supplied by Wink for the entire house are spot on and look well during the day as well as lighting up our home at night.
