Regent Supplies Innovative Lighting for AVBOB
Regent Lighting Solutions were approached by Rawlins Wales & Partners Consulting Electrical Engineers to supply a lighting solution for the new AVBOB Head Office .
Regent worked according to the design by Thinkspace Interior Architects , who were responsible for all the interiors for the AVBOB Head Office . Once the appropriate luminaires were chosen , lighting designs were done in-house to ensure light levels complied .
The boardrooms and circulation areas were illuminated with over 1,000 metres of Strata surface-mounted luminaires . These fixtures are unique as they follow the organic shape of the interior architectural space and were specifically designed to meet these requirements . Not only were there complicated curved designs but in some areas the luminaires had to tie in with special acoustic ceilings . The offices are illuminated with Luxon recessed fittings and suspended Linear Mini lights . Strict co-ordination was needed to ensure the correct colour luminaires were used on the different floors .
Due to the complexity of the installation , and the strict deadlines , Regent had to not only supply the fittings but install them as well . The Regent installation teams worked long hours , 7 days a week to meet the non-negotiable completion deadline .
Steinel intelligent occupancy sensors were supplied throughout the building and Regent were involved in designing an optimal sensor layout that ensures seamless integration of lighting controls and energy management . Emergency lighting was supplied for all the interior luminaires to comply with building regulations .
The building is positioned on a prime site facing the N1 highway and needs to be well-lit without creating glare . As this building is part of a precinct development , the exterior lights had to match the previous phases which had also been supplied by Regent . The Piazza single and double amenity lights were used to illuminate the perimeter and exterior car parks , and the Apollo II bollards were used to light up the gardens and pedestrian walkways .
In addition , Canolux surface mounted downlights , Maco 75 and Elux 70 recessed downlights , Vista Pro pendants , low glare Neosil recessed strip lights above the doorways , Grow lights recessed and mounted to light up the plant walls , Nasa fitting for the basement parking and Odin Pro bulkhead were supplied . www . regentlight . co . za
