Province Lighting LEDs Light Up Allandale

The designers of this striking project made use of the latest advances in LED lighting to create an eyecatching focal point within the building .

The Allandale building is situated in a high profile location within Waterfall City , Midrand , Gauteng . Developed by Attacq and home to corporate tenants such as Schneider Electric , it was designed as a contemporary P Grade commercial building . The Allandale Building is registered for a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ( LEED ) Gold rating .

Province Lighting worked closely with CKR Engineers who were responsible for the electrical engineering on this project in conjunction with Edison Power Gauteng who were contracted to carry out the electrical installation .
Province Lighting was involved from both a design and installation perspective on a number of lighting applications ; most specifically the extensive LED cove lighting , façade lighting and Atrium lighting . A number of different profiles as well as lumen outputs were used to create the desired effect . The specific design of the coves required a unique LED product which was custom engineered and installed to meet the architectural requirements of this project . Along with the LED linear lighting , Province were also suppliers of the LED downlights throughout the building .
