118 LONDON RETAIL / RSA HOUSE


Top The presence of vast oil paintings in the Great Room dictated a maximum 150 lux light level. mindseye’s solution was to use Lumenpulse LED strips in the cornice. Additional lighting comes from Precision Lighting Evo 16 and 20 spot on special brackets that overhang the cornicing.


Above The use of KKDC RGB LED strips beside the Lumpulse fixtures allowed the room to be themed to suit a variety of events. Additional strips placed behind speaker columns gives each a soft halo glow.


ments set out by mindseye to allow them to provide functional light level for the spaces they are in without the need for additional fixtures.


Of all the areas of the RSA project, the Great Room proved the most challenging. The lighting had to meet the demands of the many different uses for the space, in- cluding catwalk shows, wedding receptions, branded events (with coloured schemes) and the many talks and debates that are recorded and transmitted in high definition. To complicate matters, the upper section of all four walls are covered by a series of 18th century oil paintings and so light levels had to be kept below 150 lux in order to prevent degradation.


The solution was to install white Lumen- pulse Lumencove high output LED strips along the cornicing (to provide a base level of 150 lux on the floor) as well as KKDC RGB LED strips to allow coloured branding of the space. Further RGB strips were placed down


the back of the eight square speaker col- umns located around the edge of the room. Lit at low level these create a dramatic halo effect and provide indirect lighting to the space. Precision Lighting Evo 20 LED fittings - cho- sen for their minimal aesthetics - mounted on special brackets overhanging the cornice to light the flexible stage / catwalk to around 500 lux. Five luminaires were placed on each side, with three at the back of the room to front light. An additional eight Evo 20s were located in four vertical slots in the lantern skylight structure. Mode lighting control was used through- out, with the ability to transfer to a full AV Crestron system and desk for the great room. The result is an extremely flexible lighting scheme allowing a full range of events to take place. www.mindseye3d.com
