Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED downlights

 Thorn launches Cetus Mini: Expanding the existing Cetus LED range, Cetus Mini benefits from a special reflector optic with a beam angle comparable to MR16 lamps for visual uniformity. The option of fixed or adjustable recessed LED downlight comes with a high efficacy of up to 95Llm/W. With the integrated LED module it allows a recessed depth of <101mm for installation in shallow ceiling voids. Cetus Mini has a small 68mm ceiling cut out.

Cetus Mini is offered in two trim finishes, white or chrome. It is available with 550lm in colour temperatures of 3000K and 4000K and IP20 or IP65 for use in bathrooms. In addition fire rated (30, 60 or 90 minutes, 77mm ceiling cut-out) versions of Cetus Mini are available.

We are very happy to announce that Thorn won the Lux Award for the Outdoor Lighting Project of the Year!

Comments off · Posted by admin in LED

The winning project is the Wembley Stadium Arch and it was described by the judges as: The winner rose to the occasion of this demanding lighting task!

 

Congratulations go out to the team at Thorn and of course our partners at Wembley Stadium connected by EE!

At the end of last year Thorn Lighting has replaced the stadium’s iconic arch lighting with a custom LED lighting system designed for full colour as well as special moving light effects. You can find more information and a video showing what the lighting of the arch can do now here.

 

Kevin Stubbs, UK Technical Manager, and Pat Holley, Senior Lighting Designer, who were heavily involved in the project, say: “This is a huge achievement for the Thorn brand and we are more than happy to receive the award! It was a great team effort and we are so proud. The project really shows what lighting can do!”

Thorn – Case Study – Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, UK

Comments off · Posted by admin in LED

For the UK National Health Service (NHS), a sustainable health and care system that works within the available environmental and social resources is the key to protecting and improving health now and for future generations.

This means working to reduce carbon emissions, minimising waste and pollution, making the best use of scarce resources, building resilience to a changing climate and nurturing community strengths and assets. Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of many NHS facilities with a series of new build and refurbishment projects.

Lighting targeted for significant energy reduction

Supported by Ferguson Brown Consultants, Chelsea and Westminster obtained funding to upgrade to LED lighting based on predicted energy and CO2 reductions through the life of each installation. The need to replace existing fixtures point for point with minimal construction work was essential to the project as all areas were live environments so patient care and consideration was paramount.
Additionally, the timeline to design, manufacture and install a solution was a critical factor to be considered as deadlines were in place to access the funding of the project.

The right partners, solutions and commitment to excellence

Thorn were selected to provide the product solution based on a mix of standard, modified and bespoke fixtures, carefully selected to meet the stringent requirements of the project. Standard products included Chalice LED downlights for circulation areas, College LED for corridors and Omega LED for the patient wards. Local controls were also built into the project, helping to maximise the energy savings and provide additional functionality of the spaces.
Bespoke architectural solutions were used in more challenging areas such as the atria and staircases. The existing indirect reflector fixtures and suspended circular fixtures in these spaces were originally designed to complement the building architecture and are an important feature for the trust to keep and maintain the building identity. Therefore the refurbishment and upgrade exercise was required to replace the existing compact fluorescent sources with LED. With the timescales being so stringent on the project, the additional prototyping and testing of these bespoke solutions had to be built into the programme.

Setting the scene for the future

The upgrades completed in this phase of the project resulted in a 42% reduction in energy consumption with a payback of less than 5 years with the additional benefit of reduced maintenance not only a financial benefit for the Trust but also playing a major part in minimised disruption in the 24 hour care they provide and maximising safety through low maintenance lit environment.
Based on the success of this first phase, Chelsea and Westminster are now planning the remaining 60% of the refurbishment programme.
