ESP - travelling light W
ESP’s Duceri Emergency Lighting range provided the solution to the recent upgrade for an award-winning UK tour operator.
Blue Bay Travel is an award- winning UK tour operator, with over 100 industry awards to its name. Launched in 2003, the business has grown significantly in recent years, and its stylish offices in Trentham, Staffordshire, now houses a team of 120 staff. During a programme to upgrade the head office premises - which comprises a total of four individual office buildings - the installation of a range of Duceri emergency lighting products from leading industry supplier, ESP, was undertaken.
Martyn Walley, managing director of electrical contracting firm Hide Ltd, had overall responsibility for the project and worked closely with ESP’s design and technical teams to come up with a suitable emergency lighting scheme. Although a manual test system was originally considered, it was agreed that a self-test system would be more suitable, to avoid any impact on the day-to-day operational requirements of
the offices. Self-test emergency light fittings offer numerous benefits over standard fittings by reducing the costs and time associated with manual testing and inspection.
The decision was made to install new circuits for the emergency lighting system installation so as not to disturb the existing installation and create disruption for the staff. The emergency lighting system was installed through all four of the office blocks utilised by Blue Bay Travel, with a range of products selected for their suitability. The Duceri 9W LED IP65 Non-maintained 3Hr Self-Test Emergency Twin Spot was selected for the general office. For the main door to the buildings the Duceri 3W LED IP65 Non- maintained 3Hr Self-Test Emergency Bulkhead was installed, while for the rest room facilities, the Duceri 3W LED 3Hr Self-Test Emergency Open Lens Downlight was selected.
ESP’s Duceri Self-Test range has been tested and complies with all the very latest standards. Blue Bay Travel is a long-haul specialist tour
operator offering holidays to the Indian Ocean (The Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, Réunion, Sri Lanka), Caribbean (Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, Cuba, Curaçao, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Turks & Caicos), Far East and India (Thailand, Goa, Indonesia), Middle East and Africa (United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Oman, Turkey, Cape Verde) and the Americas (USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama).

Shining a light on IWM North I
Luceco has recently lit the exterior canopy of IWM North in Manchester.
WM North is part of Imperial War Museums and explores the conflicts from the First World War to the current
day. The walls of the contemporary aluminium-clad building with jutting angles which has become part of Manchester’s skyline since it was built in 2002, are now washed with light and the iconic canopy walkways lit with Guardian Pro from Luceco.
Specified by CorEnergy Group based in Manchester and installed by S J Kavanagh Ltd in Altrincham in association with Atalian Servest facilities management services, 50 W Guardian Pro Floods were chosen as an energy efficient, environmentally friendly solution. Guardian Pro illuminates the exterior area, washing the building as well as providing suitable lighting levels for the walkways, with mounting locations under the canopy. Available in 50 - 245W, 6800 to 30,000 Lumens achieving up to 136 Llm/ cW, Guardian Pro produces asymmetric light distribution for reduced glare. Mounting was made easy utilising a fit and tilt bracket and tilt

adjustment locks, also the luminaire is pre-wired with 1m of H05RN-F rubber cable. The wartime history of the Trafford Park area made it an ideal location for IWM North due to the munitions, tanks, and engines produced there to support the war effort as well as Trafford Park being a target in the Manchester Blitz. IWM North was designed by internationally acclaimed
architect Daniel Libeskind and represents a globe shattered by conflict and is made up of the EarthShard, WaterShard and the AirShard representing land, sea, and air, complete with sharp angles, leaning walls and the imposing exterior now creatively lit with Guardian Pro.
