Lighting up Waltham Abbey’s pool hall
DUTCH lighting firm EVA Optic installed high-efficiency ambient lighting in the pool hall at the multi-million-pound leisure centre at Waltham Abbey in Essex. Pellikaan Construction specified
EVA’s LED lighting, available through Golden Coast in the UK, to help reduce energy costs and environmental impact, while delivering long-term reliability and meeting Sport England’s strict lighting rules. The installation included 26 EVAline
LED lights for ambient lighting in the large Waltham Abbey pool hall, which comprises a 25m pool and a 15m learners’ pool. Direct and indirect flood lighting
was originally considered for the pool but can negatively impact the finish of the wall and building by highlighting imperfections. EVA’s direct linear lighting casts light to the pool rather than wall to provide a better all-round finish. EVA’s lightweight body components
A splash of colour
ANOLIS was tasked with designing and supplying a colour-changing and sustainable lighting system for the Flower Bowl Complex in Preston. The lighting scheme brings colour and
vibrancy to the three-cinema screen complex, part of a new multi entertainment and leisure destination concept developed by the team behind Barton Grange Garden Centre, designed to increase customer dwell time. The mixed leisure venue offers three
premium cinema screens, a four-ice sheet curling rink, an eight lane ten-pin bowling alley, golf simulators and several food and restaurant outlets. Ambiane, a new product from Anolis,
was used for the installation for its colour mixing, bold saturates and delicate pastel ranges. The product’s 18-bit dimming fades down to zero enabling the subtle fade up and downs required for the start and end of each film. The Ambiane’s emergency backup facility runs from a secondary power input

connected to the central battery system, so no additional emergency light fixtures were needed. Each of the three cinemas has 12
Ambianes recessed in the ceiling which are tagged by colours rather than numbers. They are set up to match the required lux levels of CIBSE cinema guidelines and illuminate the room and the screen in its designated colour. DMX controlled, the Ambianes integrated
with the main Eaton building and cinema lighting control systems. Anolis also helped with lighting the
Curling Rink. Twelve Anolis ArcSource 48MC Integral RGBWs are spaced down the long sides of the rink walls, pointing up at the curved roof ridges to create a rainbow effect on the white plasterwork or bathe the whole room in a single colour. Colour chases are activated at various times, and the colour can be switched to white when professional players are using the rinks.

and fixing materials are manufactured from galvanised, duplex-coated or anodised metals making the LEDs suitable for pool halls, where heat, chlorine and humidity create issues. The units also utilise anti-overheating technology to ensure at least 50,000 hours of use.
