A Lighting Designers Trip to Disneyland - Lighting Critique of the Magic Kingdom
Posted by Dara Greaney on 2/4/2019 to
LED Lights
As a lighting designer your brain is always thinking lights, lighting and now LEDs. So when we took the kids to Disneyland last week, I spent as much time looking at lights as I could while being raced from ride to ride. My short takeaway is how poor the lighting. Mainly from the complete lack of energy efficient lighting, but also from a design standpoint. I saw more incandescents and lights on during the day than I have ever seen. Disneyland needs me. (hint, hint call me)
In fairness to Disney, I researched it and Disneyworld is about to go energy neutral with a large solar install by 2019. Its west coast sibling Disneyland, not so much though. Even California Adventure got a few solar panels, but not many. None of the parks appear to be using LEDs to cut that usage. Our energy rates in California start at .23 a kilowatt hour, highest rates in the country. Disneyland is probably in Southern California Edison territory and unless they have a secret deal, their energy is expensive. Going LEDs in California has a very fast pay off, often 2-3 years with labor included.

How do Driverless LEDs work?
Posted by Dara Greaney on 9/26/2016 to
LED Lights
Driverless LEDs, also known as Driver on Board or DOB technology, are a type of LED lights that do not need a separate driver to control the electrical current and supply clean DC power to the LED. Instead, they use a high voltage integrated circuit with regulating and switching chips to intelligently adjust the number of LEDs in a string during an AC line cycle so that the voltage of the LED string matches the instantaneous AC line voltage. This way, they can directly connect to the AC mains without any external driver modules.
