LIGHTING PROJECTS

CHICKEN TO LIGHT

As part of a major upgrade of lighting within the acclaimed chain of Nando ’ s restaurants , The Light Corporation specifi ed Bright Goods LED fi lament lamps to replace the existing mix of halogen and tungsten fi lament lighting .
Bright Goods has supplied a selection of LED fi lament lamps from its wide range of popular shapes that includes globes , squirrel cages , candles , long tubes and traditional GLS bulbs .
Bright Goods LED fi lament lamps have been used by Nando ’ s since July 2015 when the fi rst installation was completed in the company ’ s restaurant in Hove .
Every Nando ’ s restaurant is designed to have its own distinctive ambience . This is achieved by bringing together a variety of balanced and complementary features including contemporary furnishings , durable fl oor surfaces , stylish wall coverings and , crucially , warm and welcoming lighting . This attention to detail often extends to embrace handmade light fi xtures and fi ttings including Czech glass fl uid pendants , metal cages , wooden shades and wicker baskets . The nature of cool running LED allows almost anything to become a light fi tting , broadening the possibilities for Nando ’ s lighting . Consequently , the versatility of the Bright Goods range means that the individual restaurant designs can be uncompromising and as spectacular as originally conceived .

STYLED FOR TILES

Eaton was selected by the UK ’ s largest commercial property company to create a unique lighting solution for a landmark offi ce development in the City of London .
Land Securities chose Eaton to supply its two New Ludgate buildings on the strength of its ability to design and manufacture a bespoke lighting solution that precisely met the client ’ s specifi cations .
The Priam LED was developed exclusively for this project by Eaton at its UK manufacturing facility . It provides Land Securities with a lighting solution that blends seamlessly into the contemporary interior of the two buildings as well as meeting the rigorous technical requirements relating to output , glare , effi ciency and luminosity .
The prestigious development , which was formally completed and opened this year , comprises two buildings . One New Ludgate and Two New Ludgate jointly offer 349,512ft 2 of prime offi ce space and 26,713ft 2 of retail and restaurant space . Eaton ’ s challenge was to create a linear LED solution that could be incorporated uniformly into ceiling tiles throughout the offi ce areas to provide a consistently high quality of light .
In response , Eaton designed the Priam LED family of fi ttings , based on an innovative ‘ cassette style ’ concept that would enable simple installation options in harmony with the sweeping curves that characterised the layout of the buildings .
