LIGHTING & LIGHTING CONTROLS FEATURE Lighting the way for university’s
multi-million pound project L
ED strip lighting manufacturer Maxilux has created a bespoke, digital, addressable light strip system to enable the remote control of an impressive clock at City University of London. The two-metre wide installation, which is
part of a multi-million pound project to provide an inspiring environment for students and academics, is sunken into the floor and can be set to 24hr, red or white displays, as well as to turn on and off at certain times. To enable these functions and meet the client’s requirements, Maxilux had to design customised software with an in- built, real-time clock, in order to programme the digital strip. Will Cockayne, creative director at Maxilux, said: “This project had some very special challenges - not only in the design and manufacture of the hardware and software, but also because the installation itself was
some 17m from the power supply, which meant there was the potential for issues with reliable data transmission. “The challenge with this clock was not
only that it needed a versatile control system to enable the four functions, but that its floor setting also required the ability to control it remotely. “We produced a 3D printed control box,
LCD display and remote control receiver, to ensure the functions could be switched between easily and efficiently.” The clock is situated in the new entrance of the university, which has been designed to improve flow of the campus and provide an impressive arrival point. The new building was opened by Princess Anne at the end of March.

lamox has supplied a variety of energy efficient LED lighting
solutions to Holmøy Maritime for its latest fishing trawler. Freezer trawler Holmøy is a 3,317- tonne fishing vessel, the newest in the fleet of Holmøy Maritime of Norway. The vessel, which was built in Spain by Construcciones Navales Paulino Freire, is classified as DNV 1A1 ICE-1B Stern Trawler EO. The trawler is equipped with modern facilities for catching, onboard processing and cold storage of fish. The trawler is equipped with a high- quality LED lighting scheme from
installed in the main deck area and other parts of the vessel that are exposed to the elements. Due to its extremely long operating life (up to 50,000 hours), the TL60 LED is designed to meet maritime requirements and to minimise energy and maintenance costs. The combination of a lighting design, and the use of high-quality components and materials, ensures excellent heat management and a reliable, long operating life. The FL60 LED series of high performance LED safe area floodlights provide instantaneous, high intensity light and are immune to voltage drops. As well as offering excellent heat management, the floodlights have a life expectancy of up to 50,000 hours, low energy consumption and are virtually maintenance-free. The trawler is also equipped with Series
65 Arctic LED navigation lights from Glamox. These lights are specially
designed for Arctic conditions and can withstand very low (and high) ambient temperatures. Compared to conventional signal lights, Series 65 Arctic LED navigation lights set new standards in terms of lifetime, efficiency and reliability. The main and back-up systems are integrated in one housing. The MIR LED outdoor lighting
fixtures with LED luminaires are suitable for many different applications on a vessel, including workshops, engine rooms, stores and passageways. These energy efficient, long-life lighting fixtures are also designed to enable easy conversion from a T8 fluorescent tube to LED technology. The Norselight XS R60 searchlights are
specially designed for vessels that operate in harsh winter and ice conditions such as tugs, icebreakers, offshore supply vessels or ice-classed vessels. The Xenon R60 Searchlights provide reliable lighting in a wide range of watt sizes and different voltages. They are also designed for Arctic environments with temperatures as low as -50°C.
