concentrated pools of light on the polished tile floor , complemented by wall mounted up / down wall fittings , producing concentrated light on the ceiling and demising columns .

LED accent lights are located in the bulkhead above the shopfronts to provide a feature light source , without the implications of low voltage downlighters .
Externally , up / down wall fittings provide accent lighting on the external ‘ buttresses ’ at regular 10m intervals , and the feature stone elements at the entrances , portals and signage walls are lit with large up / down wall mounted fittings . The general parking area is illuminated with pole top fittings to create a high light level for security reasons .
