Imperial War Museum North illuminated by Sill
he Imperial War Museum North is now illuminated at night, enhancing its status as an architectural landmark in Salford Quays. The lighting for the iconic building’s exterior has been supplied by Sill Lighting UK, a leading manufacturer of high performance and energy efficient luminaires. The multi-award winning museum, the youngest of the Imperial War Museums’ (IWM) five branches, is the first UK building to be designed by the world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind. The Sill luminaires give prominence to the striking aluminium-clad building, accentuating its sharp angles and drawing attention to its metallic surface. Across the water from the Imperial War Museum North (IWMN) is Media City, the new home of the BBC, which is also illuminated by Sill. Linked by a bridge across the Manchester City Canal the two developments are unified through their use of Sill luminaires and fittings. At IWMN, Sill’s 022 series 1000W parabolic projectors with customised pan and tilt brackets are mounted on Sill-designed 10 metre tubular columns that match those used at Media City.

uminaires from Riegens Lighting have played a vital role in the overall design in the redevelopment of Wakefield College.
The £7.6 million project includes the construction of a new building in addition to the refurbishment of the existing B Block in Margaret Street to offer a modern, high quality and vibrant learning facility within the heart of the city. Riegens Illusion
fittings were specified for higher education teaching areas and office space as they allow for optimum control of direct light to ensure excellent overall, uniform illumination from all angles. For the Learning Resource Centre (LRC), the company’s’ Lynx System was installed to provide a more flexible lighting solution.
With its distinctive soft shaped profile, Lynx offers a range of high performance optics for indirect/direct lighting within a modular construction. Stylish Concido recessed downlights installed by a plug and play system and offering 35,000 hours life were also used within the LRC area along with WC, shower and circulation areas.

Connect & Protect Your Lighting A
re you experiencing unwanted conducted radio frequency interference (RFI) in your lighting application? TE Connectivity’s Corcom FB Power Line Filters are specifically designed for today’s electronic lighting devices that contain fluorescent lamp ballasts or solid state lighting drivers. Suitable for applications requiring up to 277 VAC/VDC, the Corcom FB Series attenuates conducted RF noise caused by electronic ballasts or drivers in modern lighting fixtures. The compact size of this filter allows installation in most standard surface mount track lighting systems and its ability to operate at a 5A rated current in a 50°C (122°F) ambient environment makes it ideal for recessed fixtures located in the higher temperature
environment commonly found in ceilings. The UL935 compliant design offers good conducted emission attenuation in the range of 100kHz to 30MHz as required in most regions.

Borough Council installs Aico communal fire detection system
est Lancashire Borough Council has installed Aico mains powered RadioLINK systems into its blocks of flats to allow for alarm interconnection between communal areas and individual apartments. The design provides a high level of tenant safety at an affordable price, especially when compared to panel-based alternatives. RadioLINK works by allowing Aico Smoke, Heat and Multi-Sensor alarms to be wirelessly interconnected by Radio Frequency (RF) signals, rather than cabling. If one alarm on the system is triggered, RF signals cause every other alarm on that system to sound, providing the earliest warning to the buildings occupants. The alarms, which feature 10 year rechargeable Lithium cell back-up, have also been House Coded to a wall mounted Control Switch within the communal areas. The Switch allows the user to easily Test, Locate and Silence alarms from one convenient location.
