InstallationNews Luceco lights The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton
The Khalsa Academies Trust supports local communities to help establish and run Sikh Schools. The Khalsa Academy in Wolverhampton (TKAW) has just built a new secondary school, and Electrical Contractors, Air Cool Engineering Midlands, installed a host of LED energy efficient luminaires from Luceco.
T
he Catering Block was lit with Leren, offering both upward and downward light
distribution providing an enhanced overall lit environment, particularly where there are high or open ceiling voids to illuminate. Suitable for many commercial applications such as boardrooms and offices, Leren provides a 60% down and 40% up light distribution. This suspended luminaire is supplied complete with adjustable wire suspensions and is available as DALI dimmable and emergency back-up variants. LuxPanel was used for a variety of classroom applications, providing a cost effective and energy saving lighting solution. Glare control and adequate illuminance on the vertical combined with good uniformity needs to be considered when lighting schools, in particular, in rooms that are multi-functional. The panels are quick and easy to install into exposed grid ceilings, with remote 'plug and play' drivers and are available in standard fixed output, dimmable and emergency options with no maintenance or re-lamping requirements over their lifetime. Circular LuxPanels were installed in corridors and toilets. Featuring slim framed panels,
Circular LuxPanels offer excellent luminous uniformity and can be supplied as standard, with emergency packs or with dimmable remote drivers in 240, 180, 150 and 120mm sizes. Other luminaires used throughout TKAW included Epsilon. Luceco has recently launched a new variant of the popular Epsilon luminaire, an LED direct / indirect UGR19 compliant recessed fitting designed to optimise lighting performance and maximise luminaire spacing. Epsilon enjoys an improved efficacy of 140 Llm/cW due to a new micro prism optic. The luminaire is available in standard, dimmable, emergency dimmable, emergency self- test, DALI emergency dimmable and LiteIP. Epsilon offers up to 50,000 hours working life
with no maintenance or re-lamping requirement and is the perfect replacement for traditional fluorescent lamped fittings in commercial and educational environments. LuxBay LED luminaires were installed throughout multifunctional rooms and sports facilities at TKAW. Variants include 100, 150 and 200 watts, with either a wide or narrow clear lens, attachments including flat wired guards and polycarbonate clear diffusers. As with most luminaires from Luceco, LuxBay also offers 50,000 hours of service with options of integrated presence and daylight sensors for use with fixed output or DALI dimmable control gear as well as emergency variants. The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton welcomes
learners from all backgrounds, and this principle ensure that their young people can make a positive contribution to multi-cultural Britain. The Trust also takes responsibility for financial and resource management that delivers efficiency and effectiveness. A new fit for purpose, environmentally friendly facility with cost effective, energy saving LED lighting from Luceco contributes to this overall ethos.

Sheffield Council upgrades fire alarm protection across housing stock with Aico
Sheffield City Council has taken a decision to upgrade the fire alarm systems across its entire housing stock as part of a major electrical upgrade programme to keep customers safe.
Aico 3000 Series Alarms. Domestic Fire Alarm installation is guided by BS 5839-6, which clearly identifies both grades of alarm system to use and categories of protection. Grade D is the most common and requires one or more interlinked mains powered alarms, each with an integral stand-by supply. LD3 category, which is a low level of protection, was the minimum requirement, but Sheffield City Council decided to move to the next level up, LD2, in anticipation of changes to the British Standard, which were released at the end of April. Jill Hurst, Head of Housing Investment and Repairs says “we take safety
P
seriously. Trying to anticipate the forthcoming Part 6 [BS 5839-6:2013] revision, we decided to install a more comprehensive Category LD2 system instead of the minimum requirement. Our aim is to help customers keep safe, to better manage our housing stock and protect this vital and scarce resource. Early detection of a fire can, in many cases, mean that fire spread is prevented and property damage is limited – this could also apply to adjoining property damage. Scottish and Northern Ireland standards now have LD2 as mandatory, including owner occupied properties. Installation during our electrical upgrade programme was an excellent chance to undertake this work in advance of England catching up.” A long standing Aico customer and early adopter of its latest technology, Sheffield City Council, through its principal contractors, is installing mains

hase 1 of this work will see over 20,000 properties upgraded from category LD3 to the higher level of protection, LD2, using
powered 3000 Series for this upgrade, using the Ei3024 and Ei3028 Multi-Sensors. The Ei3024 features Optical and Heat Sensors which constantly monitor and analyse smoke and heat levels providing the best response to all fire types and reduced false alarms. Designed specifically for use in kitchens, the Ei3028 is Aico’s first Heat & Carbon Monoxide Alarm providing protection from both Fire and Carbon Monoxide poisoning. In line with LD2, the Council is fitting mains powered Smoke Alarms in
every circulation space on each storey (i.e. hallways and landings), in the principal habitable rooms and in every access room serving an inner room, plus a Heat Alarm in the kitchen. All 3000 Series Alarms within a property are being hardwired together or, where this is not practical, wirelessly interconnected using Aico SmartLINK RF technology.
