Evaluation: lighting designer Ilkka Pekanheimo, AD-Lux Ltd, tel. +358 400 221 421.
The evaluation is very subjective. However it´s based on more than 25 years of lighting experience and the received feedback 
 
From the Fair you probably got the newest issue of I. Pekanheimo´s Home lighting guide. You can also read it here . (in Finnnish)
 
    • Let the sun shine in. The house lighted with AD-Lux' daylight technique is house nr. 14. Get there the new Home lighting guide. AD-Lux  - the expert in full spectrum daylight - offers it to you (gives it to you free of charge).  Let the sun shine in...

One of the main themes is "Well-being and quality of life - a house of your dreams in a lakeside setting." The daylight lighting of house nr 14 is very much conneced with the main theme . The lighting   of the house is non glaring and very pleasent, that can be enjoyed for decades. The lighting is also environmentally friendly as it is done with led´s and fluorescent lighting.
 
It's amazing to think that even though we spend two-thirds of our time living under artificial lighting, we're not paying attention to the consequences for our body and mind. Whereas people are concerned about organic food, pure water and clean air, the element by which our very life came into existence - light - is often forgotten. 
 
Far too many houses were still lighted with halogens and incandescent lamps. They use a lot of energy and have a negative impact on climate change. So there are severeal reasons to change into better lighting already before we are obliged to do that by the law.
 
A problem at the fair was also blending lights, in up to 90% of all the houses. In around 50 % of the houses the glare was really bad. The colours of the interior was made incorrect by lighting in all other houses exept nr 14, the daylight house. Also old time electronics were still in use in surprisingly many houses!
