SMART LIGHTING FOR A UNIQUE SURFING EXPERIENCE AT “RHEINRIFF”


“Rheinriff,” recognised as the world’s largest indoor surfing facility, has unveiled its innovative lighting system, marking a significant milestone in creating a truly immersive experience for visitors. Partnering with leading lighting providers Oktalite and TRILUX, Rheinriff has transformed its space into a multifunctional venue where lighting seamlessly adapts to various usage scenarios, thanks to the cutting-edge LiveLink Retail lighting management system. Situated within the historic industrial hall on Düsseldorf’s “Areal Böhler,” Rheinriff spans approximately 6,000 square meters, offering an indoor surf hall, event space, and coworking area. Employing clear strategies in design, the venue focuses on establishing a strong brand, creating an authentic atmosphere, and developing a differentiated, experience-oriented spatial structure. Central to this vision are high-quality, intelligent lighting solutions provided by Oktalite and TRILUX.


A WELL-THOUGHT-OUT CONCEPT The lighting design at Rheinriff seamlessly integrates the diverse requirements of functional zones, ensuring a cohesive experience from the central “standing wave” to the reception, catering, and work areas. Utilising cylindrical black track spotlights as a consistent element, the design incorporates both B.VEO SPOTLIGHTS and LENTY TRACK SPOTLIGHTS to meet varying brightness requirements and room heights.


SIGNATURE LIGHT A highlight of the surfing hall is the design element inspired by the “RheinRiff” logo, forming an illuminated hexagon above the surfing pool. This centrepiece features SO-TUBE LED luminaires from TRILUX, enhancing the venue’s visual appeal and reinforcing its brand identity.


FLEXIBLE, EFFICIENT, AND DIGITALLY NETWORKED The LIVELINK Retail control system is central to the lighting system’s functionality, enabling individual, efficient, and convenient illumination of functional areas. Wireless connectivity via Bluetooth LE Mesh allows seamless integration of several hundred luminaires into a network divided into function-related groups and zones, all operable via tablet or smartphone for intuitive control.

Nuaire Releases CPD on High Temperature Axial Fans & VSDs


ndoor air quality and ventilation manufacturing specialist Nuaire is pleased


to announce its latest CPD, which addresses High Temperature Axial Fans & Variable Speed Drives (VSDs). This new CPD has been introduced to clearly explain the standard ‘BS EN 12101-3:2002 Smoke and heat control systems - Specification for powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators’, and advise on compliance. Simon Plummer, Nuaire Axials Divisional Manager and one of the UK’s leading fire safety experts, has written the CPD to provide clarification: “Frequency converters have been permitted for use during a fire event since 2015, enabling dual mode fans (those used for both day-to- day ventilation and high temperature smoke extraction) to be controlled by VSDs, even during fires. Prior to this, the VSD had to be bypassed during a fire event, with the fan running at 100%. However, there remains some confusion in the industry about how high temperature fans and VSDs can be certified and used for the various smoke applications within buildings. Our new CPD directly addresses this, explaining the standard in detail and the flexibility it offers Consultant and Smoke Designers when it comes to designing solutions.” In addition to explaining the standard, the CPD covers the test conditions that high temperature


axial fans and VSDs must undergo, before moving on to best practice in high temperature fan design. The importance of opting for a fan/VSD that has been tested as a package is stressed, along with an explanation of why a VSD “Fire Mode” (smoke clearance function is needed. As with all Nuaire CPDs, the High Temperature Axial Fans & VSDs CPD can be delivered free of charge


at Nuaire’s head office in Caerphilly, South Wales, online via Teams, or at a customer’s premises. All those attending will gain full CPD credits and certificates.
