LED Lighting for The Royal Society’s Lecture Theatre
The existing lighting in the Lecture Theatre was condemned end of life and therefore needed to be replaced. Plus, this was an opportunity to install lighting that was significantly more energy efficient.
IDWe Ltd’s Brief –
Our electrical services were requested again at The Royal Society, this time to replace the existing ceiling luminaires lights with the equivalent LED Dali controlled light replacements.
This lighting change will dramatically reduce energy consumption up to 50%.
Highlights of Services Completed Included –
Firstly, we needed to access the AV control room within the lecture theatre, which served the luminaires. We could then disconnect and remove the old Philips Dynalite DTK 910 12 Way lighting controller.
Next, we supplied and installed a new 12 Way SPN Schneider Distribution Board, in replacement of the removed dimmer pack for isolation of the existing lighting circuits.
We supplied and installed a new Philips Dynalite Control Panel to manage the new LED lights and adapted the existing lighting cabling.
Luminaires and downlighters
Using a mobile tower for access, we removed 38 existing luminaires in the ceiling and replaced with 38 ALD Dali Capril LED 3000K downlighters.
Furthermore, we replaced 24 existing small halogen downlighters with 24 ALD Ceco, 9W 8501 300K.
For users to be able to control the lighting themselves, by the door of the lecture theatre we supplied and installed a DMX interface. As well as, 2 Philips Dynalite 6 button wall plates, in replacement of the existing buttons and arranged for Philips to commission the new lighting controller.
Our engineers carried out electrical testing and issued NICEC Electrical installation Certificate for the works completed.
Lastly, the site was left clean/tidy, and all redundant items were disposed at a licensed refuse/recycling facility upon completion of work.
Result –
The Royal Society will now be able to make at least 50% energy savings with their new LED lights.
Training was provided for the staff to be able to work the new theatre lights.
The works were carried out as quickly as possible to ensure minimal disruption to services.
