Lighting & Electrical BBC’S DIY SOS: THE BIG BUILD SPECIAL As part of the BBC’s DIY SOS: Big Build project, Mackwell provided its emergency lighting systems and technical expertise to an ambitious project to create the North Kensington Community Centre and rebuild the Dale Youth Boxing Club which was destroyed in the Grenfell Tower fire. The team at DIY SOS: Big Build, led by presenter Nick Knowles, was determined to do something to help those involved to recover from the trauma and devastation of the fire. After consulting with the Grenfell community, a plan was put in place to build a bespoke facility to provide both the community space and a new home for the Dale Youth Boxing Club, which was previously located on the second floor of the tower. Authentage Let There Be Light The Authentage collection guarantees timeless, atmospheric lighting in a classy style. Here at LED Wholesale Exchange we consider ourselves privileged to be able to make a valuable contribution to making this available and affordable to increasing numbers of people everywhere – available, because by using less electricity there is more light to go around for everyone; and affordable because although the initial cost of the bulbs themselves is higher than that of the old technologies, the cost savings to the user are dramatic (usually 80%-85% of the equivalent incandescent measured by the Wattage consumed). We are the exclusive distributors of the superb ALT brand with its cutting edge technology. Our lighting is made according to traditional methods, but fitted with the most modern technology. In turn, the design reflects clean lines or components from the past. Thanks to various materials, such as aged brass, brushed nickel or chrome, our collection perfectly matches homes in classic, country, modern or minimalist style. Our experience with lighting over many years helps us to create fixtures that produce amazing lighting results in a very broad scope of applications.
