Riegens Lighting has supplied a selection of luminaires for the
Principals Suite at one of Scotland’s leading further education
centres, Dundee College. The key criteria for the newly refurbished
area was to provide a comfortable and pleasant working environment
for the Principal and staff, in addition to a good quality light for
the various hospitality/meeting areas.
Dundee College has five locations within the city with the Principal
Suite situated at Kingsway Campus. The college offers a wide range
of courses for either full-time or part-time learning. Lighting for
the suite was specified by local consulting building services
engineers BBH Partnership, who ensured that the right light levels
were achieved with minimum energy consumption using high efficiency
T5 and compact fluorescent lamps.
To provide a bright and even uniform illumination in the reception
and corridor areas, Riegen’s Concido recessed downlighters were
chosen incorporating 2 x 42W compact fluorescent lamps. Designed to
suite a number of applications, the Concido range has been
engineered to offer the option of a wide range of decorative and
technical attachments to suit each individual project. For Dundee
College the downlighters incorporate a 4 in 1 glass cone within the
luminaire to provide an individual and more aesthetically pleasing
style.
For the main Principals office, which contains a 'breakout' area for
presentations and meetings, a mixture of Concido downlighters and
Codos semi-recessed 600 x 600mm luminaires have been installed.
Codos provides a direct/indirect light distribution and utilises a
double parabolic louvre with a perforated dropped central unit.
Perfect for integration within most ceiling types, the luminaire
houses 3 x 24W compact fluorescent lamps and enables lighting
compatibility according to LG7 office lighting guidelines. All
lighting in offices and meeting rooms within the suite are switch
dim controlled via a retractive switch to ensure required
illuminance levels can be manually maintained.
For areas within the building with limited void depths, such as the
shower room and toilets, BBH specified a Concido low profile
luminaire, which can be mounted into ceilings where the void is only
100mm. Using 2 x 18W lamps, the luminaire has a mirror finish and,
along with other luminaires in the Concido range, can offer a range
of attachments to suit each individual project. An IP rated diffuser
was used within the toilet / shower areas.
Following installation, BBH director Tony Hutchison commented “We
have produced a bright and airy ambience within the Principal Suite
using Riegens luminaires”.
