Leading light Z
umtobel Lighting and Thorn Lighting have supplied a solution for Sunderland Hospital’s new
Durham Treatment Centre. A large variety of fittings helps to
illuminate all areas of the 2,500sq m facility, situated just outside of the city centre. Thorn’s Beta Office, an alternative
recessed panel which bridges the economic gap between LED technology and conventional light sources, was chosen for treatment and clean utility areas as its prismatic diffuser is ideal for working and circulation areas and the luminaire adheres to EN12464. Thorn has also provided Omega
luminaires for the treatment areas where a surface option was required, also utilising the low-profile surface kit accessory. With its slim 12mm profile, the fitting
incorporates a UV-stabilised opal acrylic diffuser to retain its clean look. The IP44-rated Omega provides
superior glare control (UGR<19/22) and is easily retrofitted, while maintenance is significantly reduced by the 50,000 hours lifespan of the 4000K LED lamps that are supplied with the fitting. Zumtobel’s CLEAN cleanroom recessed
linear luminaires have been installed to meet the exacting requirements which, combined with the very-latest lighting technology, produce a three-level luminaire concept for clean rooms geared towards enhancing visual tasks.
For sustainability, Thorn’s Chalice was
the choice for waiting areas, reducing energy usage by up to 60%. With a lifetime of up to 50,000 hours,
the fitting also significantly reduces maintenance demands and costs. And, for open-plan offices, Thorn’s IQ
Wave, with its simple and flowing lines, has created a modern-but-simplistic aesthetic with a Unified Glare Rating of <19 – compliant to EN12464. IQ Wave has an innovative MV tech
optic that offers uniformity, a colour temperature of 4000K, and glare control, plus direct/indirect light for illuminance on faces and walls to encourage a relaxed and comfortable environment. For ease of installation its new red-
flag design allows easy access to pull the set-up from below the ceiling without the need to remove the optics from the product, allowing for a more- secure fixing to the ceiling. “The new lighting from Thorn has
played a key role in achieving the desired quality of light, high energy savings, and low maintenance costs,” said a spokeman for Zumtobel. “This was extremely important to the
trust and to its maintenance provider, City Hospitals Independent Commercial Enterprises (CHoICE).”

Trusts switch to LED
E
nergys Group has been selected to deliver LED lighting upgrades at a number of NHS trusts
across the UK. The company won the projects –
which include the supply and installation of LED technology – through a competitive tender process, having been made an approved supplier on the Essentia Framework for NHS LED lighting and the YPO Framework. Funding for the LED upgrades has
been made available by NHS Improvement, which is set to inject up to £46m of Public Dividend Capital (PDC) to the NHS Energy Efficiency Fund (NEEF) in a bid to drive direct energy efficiency in the health service. Kevin Cox, managing director at
Energys Group, said: “The NHS faces a sizable challenge if it is to meet its carbon reduction targets; and we are delighted to be part of the solution. “This kind of investment in NHS built
infrastructure frees up much-needed funds which can be put directly back into frontline services.”
