Offering over 93 000lm with an efficacy of 115Llm/W, Altis Area is equipped with asymmetrical lenses and is the ideal solution for high mast area lighting. Altis Area benefits from excellent versatility and high optical performance and control. For comfort, the floodlight provides excellent control of obtrusive light (0cd at 90°) while tiltable LED modules allow flexibility for best-in-class lighting designs.

Compact and lightweight Altis Area benefits from an optimised lumen output/size ratio which facilitates retrofit installations and reduces structural costs. For ease of installation Altis Area is supplied pre-wired. Connection to the gear tray (IP21) or the gear box (IP65) is done via one single cable and a simple plug-and-play system.

Altis Area can be fully dimmed via DALI control to maximise energy savings and offers a 100 000-hour lifetime on both floodlight and gear. Optional integral thermal protection guarantees performance over lifetime and low maintenance costs, even in high temperature environments.

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!

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.
