ANL
Lighting is committed to developing leading-edge
LED technologies while keeping jobs here in
the U.S. We seek opportunities to actively
give back to our local community and employ
disabled veterans – we have been able
to achieve this through our strategic partnerships
with Mid-Hudson Workshop for the Disabled,
Inc. and Pleasant Valley Energy LLC.
WHAT DRIVES US?
We live in what may be described as an incandescent
lighting world, a world still relying on technologies
developed in the late 19th-century. These
bulbs, fixtures, and transmission systems
are versatile but inherently wasteful of energy,
i.e., up to 95% of all energy is wasted.
Current generation substitutes such as compact
florescent bulbs are plagued with operational,
reliability, toxicity, and control problems
and are bridge technologies at best.
Semiconductor-based lighting, also known as
Light Emitting Diodes, or LEDs are generally
acknowledged to be the next generation of
lighting, this based on their potential superior
energy performance, and versatility that well
surpasses incandescents.
To date, however, LEDs have generally been
perceived as having poor color control and
low brightness levels relative to their price.
ANL, through significant self-generated intellectual
property and advanced product applications,
has real time market-ready solutions now.
ADVISORY TEAM:
Our Advisory team is led by three visionaries
– Andy Neal, Michael McDonough, and
Dr. Ramesh Bhargava.
Andrew Neal IESNA,
is a lighting, lamp, luminaire, reflector
technologies, and computerized systems controls
designer with 30 years experience in entertainment
lighting, research and development, and manufacturing
in the US and Europe. Mr. Neal has worked
both as an individual designer and collaboratively
within development teams throughout his career,
and often at the forefront of design within
the industry. His work in manufactured entertainment
lighting systems and components includes product
and systems development with such companies
as Digital Lighting Desk Company and its successor
firm DLD Productions, Altman Stage Lighting,
Vinten Electro Optics, Arri Film Lighting,
Lee Lighting, and Philips Bath.
Mr. Neal’s work with lighting manufacturers
includes consulting and product development
for Philips Lighting, Strand Lighting, Sylvania,
Martin Professional, Cinemills, and General
Electric. His product testing experience includes
development of product testing protocols for
Underwriters Laboratories. He also worked
as a consultant with the solid state technologies
and nanotechnologies pioneer Dr. Ramesh Bhargava
at Nanocrystals Lighting at PACE University,
and was involved in the development of first
iterations of successful LED solid state lighting.
Mr. Neal maintains links to an international
consortium of established electronics assembly
manufacturers nationally and internationally,
and heads in-house product development and
testing at ANL Lighting LLC.
Michael McDonough AIA,
NCARB, USGBC is an award-winning architect,
industrial designer, consultant, and author
who specializes in environmentally appropriate
systems and advanced building technologies
internationally. He consults for ANL on zero
energy/zero carbon energy buildings and has
designed a wide range of structures and objects
including offices, airports, galleries, multi-media
environments, resort buildings, multifamily
residences, manufactured housing, shops, furniture,
exhibits, jewelry, and custom residences.
Mr. McDonough believes that traditional design
and modern design—nature and science—can
be advantageously synthesized, and that new
types of buildings and a broad range of technologies
will accordingly emerge. He has published
over 80 articles and white papers, and two
books on architecture, energy, and design.
Long an active artistic collaborator, he has
also exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide,
and worked with painters, sculptors, writers,
designers, filmmakers, and scientists, notably
award-winning author Tom Wolfe, industrial
designer Hartmut Esslinger, lighting designer
Howard Brandston, and fashion designer Steven
Sprouse. In the field of energy research McDonough
has collaborated with New York State’s
Energy Research and Development Authority
in the development of an award-winning zero
energy/zero carbon footprint air conditioning
system, and is currently working with industry
professionals on the development of advanced
lighting and high-value/high-production zero
energy/zero carbon agricultural systems.
Michael was educated at the University of
Massachusetts, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, and the University of Pennsylvania,
and is a cofounder of the experimental Bamboo
Research Initiative at Rhode Island School
of Design. He has taught and lectured internationally.
He has also designed and built e-House, a
net zero-energy/zero carbon Design and Building
Science Laboratory, a house the international
press has termed “the most sustainable
building in the world” having “the
coolest rooms on the planet.”
Rameshwar N. Bhargava,
Ph.D. is the discoverer of doped nanocrystals
and Quantum Confined Atom. Until August 1993,
he held various scientific and management
positions at Philips Laboratories, last being
Director and Scientific Advisor. Prior to
that, he has been a member of technical staff
at Bell Telephone Laboratories, IBM Research
Center, and IBM Watson Research Labs. He is
a fellow of the American Physical Society
and Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers. He has been issued 30 U.S. Patents
and is the author of over 100 scientific papers.
