130 TECHNOLOGY / LIGHTING CONTROL CASE STUDY OFFENBACH ON
LED illumination transformed a student residence into a landmark at the Mathildenviertel in Offenbach, Germany. The lighting installation enhanced the visual appeal of the building, and symbolises the positive development of the neighbourhood. The lighting installation was designed as part of a project of the students of architecture at Darmstadt, though the results look like pure works of art. A total of 300 Traxon Monochrome Tube fixtures were installed in the gap between glass panels and the façade, and are controlled via e:cue’s Butler XT and Media Engine 2, enabling the installation to display a variety of lighting sequences. Each of the Monochrome Tube LED fixtures is individually-controllable and dimmable. The whole installation can be controlled with the e:cue App via iPhone, if required. The students designed a total of nine unique lighting scenarios, each four minutes long, and composer Patrik Bishay created musical compositions for each lighting scenario. The collaboration yielded several audio-visual works of art - and inspiration to every visitor.
Architectural students in Offenbach used e:cue to create an illuminated beam with a cultural benefit.
”In many sociopolitical situations as the pure artificial approaches detailed finesse, it creates a panorama of highly skilled young minds who see architecture as much more than just stone, glass and metal,” said Stephan Horn, lighting designer and professor, who leads the Mediale Lichtsysteme project.
Certain e:cue elements in this installation give the end user the possibility to easily control the application via iPhone or iPad, creating a new connection between both digital and architectural aspects, thus allowing many possibilities for composition and dynamic lighting effects.

CLINICAL PRECISION
Philips transformed one UK hospital’s main hall and reception area into a multi-purpose, adaptable and welcoming space.
Philips provided Coltman Street Day Hospital with an LED lighting solution that allows the main function room to act as a truly multipurpose space where people felt comfortable during the day, as well as in the evenings.
Philips has transformed the main hall and reception area of the Coltman Street Day Hospital in Hull, UK, by installing state-of- the-art LED luminaries and an intelligent lighting management system that allows lighting levels to be fully adapted to achieve the required ambience. The day hospital houses Hull Memory Clinic, which is run by Humber NHS Foundation Trust and treats people who have memory problems. It needed an LED lighting solution that would help turn its main function room into a truly multipurpose space where people felt comfortable during the day, as well as in the evenings. The hospital also required a space that could serve as an ideal venue for hosting key celebrations around festivities such as Christmas. The main hall was fitted using highly energy-efficient and dimmable DALI Luxspace Compact /Mini luminaires in order to provide the space with a fully
dimmable lighting solution that could be adapted to create the desired atmosphere. Additionally, the Luxspace Compact / Mini uses less power without compromising on light quality.
In order to give the illusion of brightness outside during the dark winter afternoons and evenings, Philips equipped the main hall’s high level windows with the next generation of high-quality linear LED cove lighting, eW Cove QLX Powercore, giving the walls a glowing effect. To further enhance the lighting, Philips used the Spot LED 3 to add extra sparkle to the space. The Spot LED 3 also offers huge energy savings and reduced maintenance, while achieving unparalleled light output through its 3 X LUXEON K2 high-power LEDs. To complete the project, Philips also installed Essential LED downlights providing energy savings of up to 80%.
