LIGHTING PROJECTS
COLOURED CAR PARK
The innovative new multi-storey car park at the University of Leeds has been fitted with a colour changing façade lighting scheme using a Philips Color Kinetics LED lighting system .
The new 690 space multi-storey car park is a prominent building that is clearly visible from some distance , so a decision was taken to provide it with a distinctive external appearance . During the day this is achieved by a special cladding design using perforated metal panels , which is further enhanced by the use of different coloured lighting at night .
The exterior lighting for the building was designed by Philips Value Added Partner , Lite , providing a wash of colour across the façade . A key consideration was the need to avoid distracting drivers on the nearby busy inner ring road .
Each of the ColorGraze fixtures is mounted on special 1m offset brackets to allow the lighting to graze the cladding all the way up the building . The design draws on Lite ’ s experience of using ColorGraze fixtures at the First Direct Arena and Leeds Beckett University to minimise the number of luminaires and reduce costs .
The lighting is controlled by a Pharos controller , providing the university with a versatile solution , within the imposed planning constraints .
MODERN FEEL
Amitex LED ’ s 9W COB downlighters have been used throughout an upscale development of stone built family homes worth up to £ 1m each at Kiln Place , Corbridge , Northumberland .
The properties blend traditional and contemporary design and the downlighters lend a streamlined , modern feel to the kitchens , bathrooms and hallways . They were installed by Paul Rock Electrical and supplied by City Electrical Factors , Hexham .
The downlighters are IP65 and fully fire rated , and have a quick-fit push in connector system which makes them very easy to install . They come with a five year warranty and are available in dimmable and non-dimmable options .
GOOD BUSINESS
An installation by Stretch Ceilings within the entrance area to Durham Business School perfectly demonstrates how a single illuminated ceiling can open up the space of an area .
Stretch Ceilings installed 27m 2 of translucent stretch fabric in one panel with daylight white LED lighting to create a clean , crisp finish . The material offers 75 per cent light transmission and is lightweight at only 0.2mm thick . For low maintenance lighting the track is permanently fixed to the perimeter structure allowing the material to be unclipped and refitted by Stretch Ceilings ’ operatives or trained maintenance staff . Alternatively , the stretch fabric diffuser can be fixed using demountable frames for frequent access .
Behind the stretch fabric daylight white LED lighting modules have been used , these offer an even illumination as a result of considered layout and testing .
The successful marriage of light and stretch diffuser creates an outstanding monolithic lighting effect .

The boutique hotel with bar and restaurant offers a contemporary mix of modern design with a Shoreditch eclectic style interior and is situated in St Pauls Square in the heart of Birmingham ’ s lively Jewellery Quarter .
Megaman lamps and fittings were specified and installed by Worcestershire based lighting specialist 3ci Lighting following a design brief agreed by the hotel owner and designer . Megaman ’ s 10.5W dim to warm LED lamps were used in the hotel bedrooms and created the perfect ambience for relaxation .

Bedroom en-suite areas were fitted with Megaman ’ s 8W VersoFit fully integrated fire rated downlighters in satin chrome . With its serviceable LED module and IP rating , this product was chosen for its reliability and unobtrusive design .

COUNCIL SUCCESS
Since its launch in 2015 , Venture Lighting Europe ’ s advanced VLED Westminster Retrofit Street Light engine has seen a successful period of installations around the country , with 3,000 being installed across the London Borough of Merton alone .
Venture ’ s VLED Westminster light engine uses the latest technology , Suprax glass optic , to offer a highly efficient and powerful street lighting option with high energy savings .
The VLED module has been retrofitted to the council ’ s existing street lighting lanterns as part of a borough-wide upgrade to LED lighting from its previous SON lamps . Installed by Kier Street Lighting Services , this initiative was delivered as a part of an Invest to Save scheme to complement the council ’ s capital relighting programme , which is set to replace all lighting with LED across the borough
The 3,000 VLED Westminster modules were directly installed into the council ’ s existing street lighting columns using the ‘ plug and play ’ feature , as a quick and cost effective method without the need for lengthy road closures or lighting downtime . Once the module is installed it is virtually maintenance free with an impressive LED life of 100,000 hours . This not only eliminates the need for regular , expensive lamp replacements but also offers the council peace of mind .
