Installation of the New Mode Lighting Edin Din rail products.

This recent small works solution designed as a simple bolt-on to an existing LEAX Panel and an centralised emergency lighting system fed from an inverter.

The Edin panel takes over the DSI control of four channels of emergency lighting in the event of a power failure ensuring that the lighting is ramped up to an emergency level.

Working on a recent project I came across these interesting transformers.

They allow connection of lov voltage lighting at greatly increased distance from the transformer while maintaining an optimum voltage.

The system uses a sensing cable which provides a feedback loop (similar in concept to those used in analogue sound processing) to monitor the lamp voltage and voltage drop in the cable and hence compensates for any variation and stabalises the lamp voltage.

The box itself houses a large transformer at the top with an electronic controller below. The units provide luxury service to the halogen lamps giving improved brightness, better colour rendering, longer lamp life and lovely smooth dimming.

The units can be controlled by 1-10v and 0-10v control as standard with DSI and DALI versions available.

These transformers hark back to the old days of centralised transformers but without all the cooper! They offer an alternative to leading edge dimming systems and provide a great solution.

Lighting Control have been involved in the project providing Commissioning of the lighting control system including integration to the existing BMS system.

In addition to the commissioning work Lighting control provided an on-site engineer to make alterations to the complex design of the DMX RGB control and to provide lighting controls expertise alongside the contractors electricians.

The Apex Waterloo Place Hotel is a luxury property that sets the standard for the ultimate in city chic.

‘Urban glamour meets contemporary comfort’ is very much the philosophy behind Apex Waterloo Place. This luxurious four-star hotel boasts the facilities and attention to detail to rival those of a five star property.

Lighting control have completed a major lighting control project in this prestige Edinburgh Development.

The works included Extensive DMX Control, Scene setting and multi-page menu controls and time based control. This programming covers all the main public spaces of the hotel including bars, reception , gym and the stylish modern swimming pool.

Lighting control also provided extensive contractor support commissioning 3rd party dmx products and fault finding installed RGB colour controls.

Commissioning was carried out with the client interior designer during two sessions of scene setting to allow for arrangement of furniture and to allow evening settings to be adjusted.

The market leading gentlemen’s is opening in Glasgow in the west of Scotland and Lighting control were on hand to renovate some existing lighting controls for the project.

Dedicated to offering top class entertainment in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, Spearmint Rhino has exceptional clubs throughout the UK.

Crowne Plaza Glasgow

Lighting controls undertook the programming and  commissioning of the recently refurbished Argyll and Castle conference suites at the Crowne Plaza Glasgow.

Both large Suites have multiple partitions to allow the rooms to be used in different configurations.  Mode evolution packs were used in combination with Key switch plates to provide intuitive functionality. This allows members of staff to recall specific lighting scenes dependant on any room configuration.

Barony Castle in the Scottish Borders is a traditional baronical castle which in recent years has become a venue within the De Veres Estate.

Lighting Control’s installers were tasked with the electrical contracting and lighting controls engineering for the refurbishment of their reception, restaurant and bar area. The simple lighting control allows impulse switching with memory.

Engraved MK Grid momentary switches were used as retrofit controls in this refurbishment project.

Bespoke light fittings were used throughout the project including a number of fittings made with natural materials including antlers and leather.
