SPONSORS INSTALLATION NEWS Luceco’s Leren at Chester University L
uceco has recently supplied luminaires to the University of Chester Engineering
Building. The university originated as the first purpose- built teacher training college in the UK, occupying five campus sites in and around Chester, with additional sites in Warrington and Shrewsbury. Luminaires supplied included linear suspended Leren along with recessed 600 x 600 LuxPanels and externally Fortis Wall packs. Offering both upward and downward light distribution, particularly where there are high or open ceiling voids
to illuminate, Leren was suspended to meet the requirements of the teaching spaces. Supplied complete with adjustable wire suspensions, Leren benefits from through-wiring, including electrical connectors as standard, to assist with both standalone and continuous run installations. Accessories available include ceiling mount electrical connection rose and blanking modules in 600, 900, 1,200 and 1,500-mm lengths. Featuring a slim aluminium extrusion and offering superior quality lighting specifically optimised for the educational setting, Leren is available as fixed output, DALI dimmable, emergency back-up variants, PIR and Luceco wireless lighting controls including Platform and Elevate. Luceco Project Manager, Andy Whalley, who designed the lighting solution for the engineering training centre said, “Due to the modern construction and exposed ceilings of the building, we saw our contemporary Leren luminaire as being the perfect lighting solution for the teaching spaces.” Leren offers excellent photometric performance and over 100,000 hours of maintenance free, operational life with an efficacy of 120 Llm/cW, and three lumen outputs: 4,000, 5,200 and 7,500 lm as well as Luceco’s 7-year warranty. The luminaires were installed by DTM Installations based in Alderley Edge.

TRILUX Delivers Innovative Lighting Solutions to Enhance Productivity and Occupant Well-Being
U
K, October 2023– Saffron House Transformed into a Human- Centric Oasis with Tunable White Lighting Saffron House, a prime office space in Farringdon, London,
recently underwent a renovation to provide a modern, adaptable, and health-focused workplace. The Anslow Partnership, a leading building services consultancy, sought to create a lighting design that prioritises employee satisfaction and well-being while meeting the sustainability goals of a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification. Following COVID, employees’ satisfaction and health are prioritised when designing new office spaces. Light greatly impacts employees’ sense of well-being and ability to concentrate, and more and more companies are beginning to recognise this. TRILUX, a renowned lighting solutions provider, was selected as
the trusted partner for the project. Given the basement location and lack of natural daylight, TRILUX recommended Human Centric Lighting (HCL) fittings to enhance the well-being and productivity of occupants.
HCL fittings mimic the natural rhythm of sunlight, changing their luminous intensity and light colour from cool white in the morning to warm white in the evening. This helps to strengthen the human biorhythm and improve overall well-being. Stephen Hewett, Principal Electrical Engineer The Anslow Partnership, commented, “ Here, we wanted to explore holistic office lighting concepts and offer customised light that can be flexibly regulated and optimal working conditions, including lighting that maintains and improves the workforce’s health.” The project called for easy adaptability as the office is yet to be rented. The ideal solution was suspended lighting fittings that could be easily repositioned once the space is occupied.
Innovative Lighting Control TRILUX delivered on the project’s lighting needs with the highly efficient So-Tube ACT (HCL) LED luminaires using DALI DT8 control system. These suspended, stylish luminaires offered tunable white light with adjustable colour temperature and intensity, allowing precise control throughout the day. The system was divided into eight zones with presence detection to ensure optimal illumination and energy efficiency.
Enhancing Well-Being with Tunable Lighting Saffron House’s lighting design embraces Human Centric Lighting principles, recognising the important role light plays in influencing circadian rhythms, productivity, and overall well-being. When tenants move in, sensors will detect motion in any of the zones and switch on the lighting to the correct colour temperature for the time of day and season. For example, in the early morning, the light output would be around 3000K, similar to the warm glow of sunrise. At 2pm, the light output might be 5500K, mimicking the cool, bright light of midday. And at 8pm, the output might be 2700K, promoting relaxation and winding down for the evening. The lighting will then automatically adapt and change throughout
the day, mimicking the natural colour and intensity of sunlight. Scene plate controls allow for the overall control of the office space, as well as individual control over groups of lights that utilise track lighting.

Additionally, emergency lighting, general purpose lighting, and
exit signage are all connected to the DALI control system with scheduled function and duration tests programmed for ease of maintenance. All test reports are stored on the controller, ensuring easy maintenance and safety compliance. Stephen Hewett comments: “Working with TRILUX has been a positive experience. Their dedication to creating lighting solutions that prioritise the well-being of occupants and their deep understanding of how lighting impacts productivity and satisfaction made them the ideal partner for this project.” With its adaptable and health-focused lighting design, Saffron House serves as a beacon of productivity and well-being in the heart of London’s business district. TRILUX’s commitment to delivering human-centric lighting solutions continues to shape the future of office spaces, prioritising the comfort and efficiency of its occupants.
