Case Studies
Office
Office lighting must provide effective task lighting while creating a harmonious, glare-free environment. With most organisations tasked with minimising energy consumption to reduce overheads and demonstrate environmental responsibility, it must be efficient too.
Industry
Tough environments bring tough lighting demands. From intricate component manufacturing to heavy engineering and warehousing, there are many requirements for a high performance lighting system.
Education
Lighting is integral to education, facilitating learning and providing a comfortable environment for students and teachers. From primary schools to universities, halls to lecture theatres, our capacity for providing lighting for education is vast.
Health
The applications for healthcare lighting are vast and demanding. From wards to theatres, shops to offices, each environment requires careful consideration and understanding.
Retail
Generous lighting levels and good colour rendering are particularly important where food, drink and consumer products are concerned. Other important performance considerations include safety, comfort and of course, efficiency.
Hotel
From car parks to spas, bedrooms to bars, the outdoor and indoor lighting demands associated with the hotel industry are far reaching. So too are the aesthetic requirements, with styling and integration important too.
Sports

Tunnel
Streets, highways, motorways, bridges and tunnels - they consume vast amounts of energy and can be a dangerous place to be. They also play an integral role in our everyday lives, making lighting essential.

Cityscape
Style by day, safety by night – they’re two key requirements for lighting the cityscape. Of course, other considerations such efficiency, comfort, installer functionality and longevity are important too.
Art and Culture
From sculptures to statues, modern libraries to ancient buildings, lighting for art and culture demands sensitivity and careful consideration. It also demands lighting which is able to complement and enhance the structure.
Transportation
None of the planes, trains, buses, tubes or ferries we use could run without lighting. Whether the application is outdoor or indoor, performance, efficiency and comfort are vital considerations.
Transit Areas and Car Parks
Lighting for transit areas and car parks is essential for public safety. Aside from safety and visibility concerns, energy efficiency is important for minimising running costs.
Residential
From care homes to barracks to prisons, lighting for residential purposes requires smart, dependable solutions. Performance, efficiency, comfort, aesthetics, safety and flexibility are all important.
Smart City
Across the world we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Cities start using different types of electronic data collection to supply information used to manage assets and resources efficiently. As far as outdoor lighting for cities is concerned, it is not just the light that is important but also adapting the light to meet the actual requirements in specific situations. These projects demonstrate how intelligent light responds to the individual needs of the urban environment.
