Installation News Luceco provides lighting upgrades atAkzo Nobel
Luceco has helped Akzo Nobel upgrade the lighting system in the Polymer Plant Controls Room at its facilities in Gateshead.

orking with electrical contractors NEP Services, Luceco replaced the former wired wall switch and handheld remote-controlled lighting to a widely accessible digital dimming solution that works with the lighting specialists’ flagship LuxPanel Backlit LED panels. The room was first modelled using lighting design software Relux to confirm illuminance levels. Based on this, Luceco then recommended its flexible Platform technology for ease of use and speed of installation.
The LuxPanel Extra features backlit LED panels with modules mounted to the rear of the panel body, enabling direct downward light distribution. This eliminates the need for a Light Guide Plate (LGP), resulting in enhanced performance and balanced illumination.
Lighting in the LuxPanel range is compatible with Luceco’s Platform wireless lighting controls.

The Platform technology transforms existing lighting installations into an intelligent, wireless communications system. It’s designed as a scalable retrofit solution that enables full lighting control including dimming, presence detection, daylight control and emergency lighting testing. Reducing energy consumption and lowering operating costs, these features future-proof lighting systems with a cost-effective and non-disruptive installation. To ensure compliance with safety standards, Luceco also recommended upgrading emergency lighting in the space using its Tempus Exit Boxes and Bulkheads. Leman Harris, Luceco project manager, said: “The client asked us to upgrade the old remote-controlled lighting system to something that could be easily controlled by multiple members of staff at once. Luceco’s Platform technology paired with the LuxPanels means the staff can now dim the lighting in the room at a touch of the button on their individual phones
rather than sharing one remote control or a hard wired switch on the wall. We are grateful to NEP services for choosing us to work on this excellent project at Akzo Nobel.”
