Lunis Technology from Siteco has enabled Volkswagen to carry its corporate colours right through to the lighting systems in its new UK training centre.
Lunis Technology from Siteco has enabled Volkswagen to carry its corporate colours right through to the lighting systems in its new UK training centre.
The car manufacturer's corporate blue is reflected in inserts that provide a halo effect to Siteco's Lunis R surface-mounted downlights in the ground-floor reception and canteen at the centre in Wymbush, Milton Keynes where dealership staff from all over the country go for training.
As well as its ability to incorporate inserts and collector lenses, the Lunis R range of minimalist recessed and pendant mounted downlights can incorporate other building services such as loudspeakers, air handling units, sensors, sprinklers, detectors and information panels.
Its flat, minimalist design makes it ideal for use in shallow and concrete ceilings and its ability to be dimmed and used with coloured shutters makes it a multi-skilling platform for a wide variety of lighting tasks in offices, shops and public areas.
Another Siteco system - the ultra-flat Quadrature direct/indirect luminaire that can be recessed and surface/track-mounted - was specified by CMI Consulting and pendant-mounted in the first floor training rooms.
This latest generation of Quadrature luminaires features Siteco's new microprismatic Eldacon technology in which the light provided by the T5 fluorescent lamps is directed into the training rooms via microprisms to give completely glare-free lighting.
This is compared to conventional low-glare louvered fittings that display a sudden divergence in brightness (as a luminaire close to the occupant will appear extremely bright while a fitting only a few metres away will appear quite dark) and stress the human eye which has to continually adapt to these extreme contrasts.
The glare-free benefits of these luminaires make them well suited for training environments as the siting of the lamps within the luminaire, out of direct view from any angle, means they can be positioned immediately over workplaces.
This latest Quadrature generation also features a housing with angular square edges as a striking but minimalist contrast to the softer, standard lightly domed edges.
Siteco's project director Dave Jeffery said: "Volkswagen are very pleased with the whole project.".
