L
uceco has recently lit a special arena for the horse charity HEROS. Located at
the North Farm Stud in Oxfordshire, the charity aims to rehome ex racehorses after they retire, giving them an opportunity to enjoy a new life after racing. A recent facility added to the
North Farm Stud complex, is a stateoftheart Indoor Arena and Education Hub which benefits from LED lighting supplied by Luceco. Ceres is a compact LED high bay luminaire utilising the latest lens technology. Rated IP65, Ceres benefits from a computer designed diecast aluminium housing with vortex cooling for maximum LED chip performance providing over 50,000 hours of operational life and a luminaire efficacy up to of 130 Llm/cW. The Ceres family also includes the Ceres Extra offering 140 Llm/cW and 70,000 hours of operational life and Ceres Ultra with 100,000 hours of working life.
The lighting was designed and supplied by Ben Dewey, Lighting Division Manager for R & M Electrical Group Ltd and the electrical installation was completed by Mark Bradburne of Bradburne Electrical. HEROS has successfully
rehomed hundreds of ex racehorses, offering a new life and helping the racing heroes move on "to pastures new". LED lighting from Luceco ensures these amazing racing heroes are very much in the spotlight at North Farm Stud.

driver for SIP+ firmly places the company’s hardware ahead of the curve as the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes a reality. This small, low bandwidth protocol supports messages from thousands of devices which publish information to a central broker. This makes it highly suitable for remotely monitored applications where bandwidth and battery power are at a premium. In practice a Facilities
Management company, for example, could access sensors for temperature, humidity, occupancy, air quality, fan speed, etc. and aggregate the data received from hundreds of sensors and buildings. It could then apply machine learning techniques to the database of

were still operational and working as expected when the local maintenance engineer retired. Wyastone requested an update to more modern Web Enabled solution thus facilitating a revised support solution. Working with the Cardiff branch of BCM, a demonstration of the new DDC4020e controller was made and was accepted by the foundation. With planned gaps in concert hall bookings the exchange with some feature upgrades was made within 16 hours, the system was online and monitoring the plant as expected. The environment controlling within tolerances with some simple user interface tuning was verified a week later with remote access with the client watching and asking questions as needed. The controls are very easy to use and have tremendous flexibility for tailoring to the customer needs. They are secure, small and compact making them ideal for upgrades of older BMS systems.
T “A Concert Hall needs close temperature control to protect valuable Says Kevin Pacey, Managing
Director, ESS, "Robur gas powered chillers provide a truly modular solution. Direct digital controls ensure shared workload and, in the event of a mechanical failure or service downtime, less than 7% of output is lost.” Robur gas chillers and heat pumps use natural refrigerant in a factory sealed circuit and aren’t subject to FGas regulation. Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) are both zero, earning credits for BREEAM. The almost static refrigeration cycle means performance levels remain unchanged over time.

musical instruments and to cope with a full house and orchestra ~ 650 people and full stage lighting of about 50kW. The Kieback & Peter controls did this to perfection. When we came to upgrade them to the current generation of remotely accessible controls we had no hesitation in choosing Kieback & Peter from SyxthSense, whose excellent support from SyxthSense, who always gave us great support, recommended BCM. They did the upgrade with no disruption to the smooth running of the Hall which is in almost continuous use for recording – very impressive. It is great to be able to see from my PC at work or at home exactly how it is performing and make minor adjustments to the set points when needed.”

“Building Controls Maintenance Ltd (BCM) have been using SyxthSense equipment since the business was formed in 2005. We were happy to get involved with the controls refurbishment at Wyastone and had total confidence in the product and the support provided. The Kieback & Peter DDC4020e controller provided a good upgrade path for the customer allowing secure local and remote access over the customers network. By getting an understanding of the customer's requirements we were able to fit in around the recording studios schedule and complete the job with little or no impact on the Wyastone business.”
