THORN MAKES A SPLASH AT LIVERPOOL AQUATICS CENTRE S


witching to Thorn Lighting’s Areaflood Pro floodlights has provided the Liverpool Aquatics Centre at Wavertree Sports Park


in Liverpool with increased light levels and a reduction in energy consumption. An important criteria for choosing Areaflood Pro for the illumination of the swimming pool area, was that the luminaires have been fully tested and approved as suitable for use in indoor swimming pool environments. This, is in addition to offering a maintenance free product with a body that is also tested and proven to be resistant to chlorine corrosion. Prior to the new lighting installation, the 50m


pool at the Liverpool Aquatics Centre had to be drained following an electrical fault in a floodlight which exploded and showered the pool with shards of glass and also entered the underside of the moveable floor, resulting in major and costly repairs. Subsequently a number of events had to be cancelled. The choice of the correct fitting suited to the pool environment was critical for health and safety purposes. Following the approval of samples provided by


Thorn, a combination of both large and small Areaflood Pro floodlights were chosen for the refurbishment, both of which are compact, lightweight, energy saving and have an IP66 rating. The luminaires have an asymmetrical light distribution of 40 and 60 degrees respectively, with a 4mm toughened glass enclosure for safety. This


combination of fittings has ensured a high quality even light distribution with minimum shadowing, whilst offering energy savings of almost 40 percent compared to the previous fittings. The use of long life LED’s means there is no need


for costly lamp replacements, so all of the disruption and hassle associated with accessing


high level light fittings over a pool is removed, as is the cost associated with maintenance. The upgrade has also improved the quality of the light for staff and customers alike, providing a pleasant, well-lit and welcoming environment.

Enzen delivers new smart energy lighting system I


M Properties is taking the first step towards a more energy efficient mixed-use scheme at Blythe Valley


Park in Solihull by implementing the ZenLumen Smart Street Lighting Solution from Enzen. IM Properties will now be able to monitor and control the park’s lighting infrastructure, detect real-time energy consumption and, if they exist, any operational irregularities. This will deliver significant energy efficiency, safeguard the public and optimise maintenance. In addition, ZenLumen, which has integrated and advanced telecoms and networking capabilities, will offer real- time system updates. The solution will deliver significant lighting


efficiency and is expected to reduce the park’s annual lighting energy consumption by up to 62.5%. Together, the companies are currently reviewing a sustainability roadmap, which may include future phases of work at Blythe Valley Park.
