LUCECO PROVIDES FIRST CLASS LIGHTING AT EAST MIDLANDS AIRPORT
The main outcome of the check-in hall for East Midlands Airport was to have energy efficient lighting that also had the ability to be dimmed. So when the main access route wasn’t in use, it still looked welcoming.
Due to the structure of the hall roof being a canopy style, Luceco and Fredk Lamb decided to use Luceco’s Callisto lighting with integrated Platform wireless controls and PIR’s, allowing the fittings to be grouped into different sections for the controls, like the commissioned corridor function that enables the lights near the entrance doors to dim to a lower level than the rest of the hall.
This also meant the original cabling could be used for a point-to-point replacement while offering full dimming and control functions.
Callisto is a stylish linear LED surface-mounted luminaire, perfect for open areas with its wide-area lens distribution. Its IK10 rating makes it robust, while its efficacy of 135 Llm/cW and 100,000-hour lifespan ensure it is efficient and effective. Suitable for trunking, surface, or suspension mounting, Callisto can also come with Self-Test and DALI Addressable Emergency packs that provide 3 hours’ worth of back-up power.
Luceco Platform Wireless Lighting Controls transform existing lighting installations and create a simple and efficient wireless communication system. The system provides various lighting controls, including dimming, scene-setting, presence, and daylight control, all helping to reduce energy consumption and operating costs while creating a comfortable lit environment.
Platform is designed as a retrofit solution to update spaces to the latest state of digitalisation, renovating old, traditional lighting systems quickly, cost-efficiently, and easily.
Chris Marshall, Inspection, Testing & Small Works Manager at Fredk Lamb Ltd, said:
When deciding on a supplier for this project, we knew Luceco would be able to deliver the results the client wanted. Being able to install new lighting with existing cabling meant we were able to complete the project with minimal disruption to travellers at the airport and the client was very happy with the result.
Leigh Davey, Luceco Project Manager, said:
It’s been a great experience working with Fredk Lamb on this project at East Midlands Airport. Luceco’s strategy is to grow, innovate and sustain, and transforming the lights in the check-in hall to something that is energy-efficient, effective and customisable, and will be that way for years to come, is a great decision from the airport as they upgrade their services to celebrate their 60th anniversary.
