The offices of software developer Real Time Worlds in Dundee is using a selection of luminaires from Luxo UK to create a comfortable and energy-efficient working environment.
Real Time Worlds specialises in the development of technology for multi-player online gaming. The company has recently moved into new shell and core premises in Dundee which, in a fast-track project, have been fitted out to their own specification. The property comprises a mixture of cellular and open plan accommodation and the lighting was specified and installed by contractor DH Morris to meet the needs of each space. The lighting is controlled by a combination of manual on/off switching, automatic switching and dimming controls.
Kevin Birnie of BBH Consultants, who designed the project with the expert help of Luxo’s technical manager, Steve Willis, commented “In the offices it was essential to comply with the requirements of LG7 and the client also required the ability to dim the luminaires. Luxo’s X-type luminaires proved to the ideal solution, offering high light output with very good glare control and a stylish visual appearance. Thanks to Luxo’s wide range of products the ideal luminaires for the complete installation were sourced from a single supplier.
For the board room, Real Time Worlds required additional visual interest as well as efficient lighting and these needs were met by Luxo’s boldly designed Onda system. Onda is a suspended modular system with a very striking appearance, which provides indirect, diffuse lighting. Each module consists of an electrical support which houses the reflector, light sources and control gear.
The Onda fittings are supplemented with Silvy wall mounted luminaires creating a versatile lighting scheme for the board room that can be adjusted to suit a variety of activities.
