LUCECO PROVIDES FIRST CLASS LIGHTING AT EAST MIDLANDS AIRPORT
LIGHTING & ELECTRICAL
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Zumtobel and its sister brand, Thorn, both lighting brands of the Zumtobel Group, have designed a cutting-edge lighting scheme that supports MEMS Power Generation’ s operational efficiency, employee wellbeing, and environmental sustainability goals.
Zumtobel’ s LITECOM control system ensures the luminaires in the offices and circulation spaces switch off after hours, while maintaining a“ corridor of light” to meet planning conditions. TECTON luminaires in the storage areas activate only when needed, while AMBITUS suspended luminaires in the offices and meeting rooms deliver balanced direct / indirect light.
Thorn’ s IQ Beam and Cetus luminaires provide uniform illumination in the offices and circulation spaces, while Aquaforce Pro fittings serve the plant rooms. Areaflood and Piazza II floodlights accentuate the façade, and Isaro Pro II lanterns help secure safety in the car park. Voyager Blade signage manages the emergency lighting, and Thorn’ s controls optimise energy use via presence sensors and daylight harvesting.
Mark Diffey MEMS Power Generation adds,“ Partnering with the Zumtobel Group on this project has been key to supporting MEMS green ambitions for our new headquarters.

LUCECO PROVIDES FIRST CLASS LIGHTING AT EAST MIDLANDS AIRPORT
As part of East Midlands Airport’ s £ 120m investment programme for its 60th anniversary, Luceco partnered with electrical contractor Fredk Lamb to upgrade lighting in the extended check-in hall. The aim was to deliver an energy-efficient, dimmable solution that kept the space welcoming even when not in full use.
Due to the hall’ s canopy-style roof, Luceco specified its Callisto LED luminaires with integrated Platform wireless controls and PIR sensors. This allowed the fittings to be grouped into zones— such as a commissioned corridor function near the entrance— where lights dim when the space isn’ t in use.
Using the existing cabling, the team achieved a pointto-point replacement with full dimming and control capabilities, reducing disruption and installation time.
Callisto is a robust linear LED luminaire with a wide area lens, IK10 rating, and efficacy of 135 Llm / cW. With a 100,000-hour lifespan and options for emergency packs, it is ideal for open, high-traffic areas. It can be surface, trunking or suspension-mounted.
Luceco’ s Platform Wireless Lighting Controls offer a retrofit solution to modernise legacy systems. Features such as dimming, scene-setting, presence detection, and daylight control help cut energy use and operating costs while improving user experience.
Chris Marshall, Inspection, Testing & Small Works Manager at Fredk Lamb, said:“ Luceco delivered exactly what the client needed. Using existing cabling meant minimal disruption to travellers, and the client was very pleased.”
Leigh Davey, Luceco Project Manager, added:“ This project is a great example of innovation and sustainability— upgrading to energy-efficient, smart lighting in a way that will serve the airport for years to come.”
