Advanced Lights the Way at University of Bristol
T
he University of
Bristol has
upgraded its emergency lighting with the installation of a further ten LuxIntelligent emergency light testing panels from Advanced. The new equipment has been installed alongside 21 existing LuxIntelligent panels linked to around 4,500 light fittings, to ensure ongoing compliance with the BS 5266-1 code of practice for the emergency lighting of premises. The
LuxIntelligent panels have been
retrofitted across a range of university buildings, including seven halls of residence. They were chosen for their versatility and ease of use when replacing outdated emergency lighting on existing sites, allowing significant time and cost savings to be achieved. A variety of LED luminaires have been chosen from the wide LuxIntelligent range, to protect buildings with very different lighting requirements. They include downlighters, spotlights, exit signs and bulkhead lighting that complement equipment already installed in the historic Victoria Rooms, the Wills Hall halls of residence as well as operating theatres and abattoirs in the veterinary college campus. Chris Smith, Commissioning Engineer at the University of Bristol, said: “We fit various emergency lighting systems at the University of Bristol according to individual building requirements. The emergency lighting in some

areas of the University had become outdated and we could no longer source replacement parts, making repairs increasingly difficult. Having used Advanced’s emergency light testing system across other parts of the University for many years, I was confident that we could rely on it for performance, compliance and peace of mind.” Matt Jones, Emergency Lighting Business Manager at Advanced, said: “It’s fantastic to see our emergency light testing systems standing the test of time and being chosen for this major upgrade at the University of Bristol. We look forward to continuing to support the University as their future emergency lighting requirements grow.” LuxIntelligent
