Several Hundred WideBay Luminaires were used to illuminate the interior of this large Building for Quinn Glass in Elton in Cheshire.
The WideBay is almost maintenance free and relamping is in excess of 20,000 hours. The customer was very pleased with the result and ordered several hundred more fittings for another Project in Newport Wales called Quinn Radiators.
Food Factory Process Area
ABP in Ellesmere, Shropshire, England used WideBay pendant Luminaires with remote gear for the illumination of a Food Processing area. The WideBay Luminaire is very suitable for the Food Industry because it is dust-tight (suitable for wash down areas), has a safe acrylic lens (meets the ‘No-Glass’ requirement for Food areas), and uses a Protected lamp (which will not explode and drop glass fragments into Food or Machinery.
The wide spacings which arise from its efficient optics provide high light levels with good uniformity. The Luminaire is also available as a Pendant (with internal gear) or in a recessed version, ideal for insulated panel ceilings where all maintenance and relamping can be carried out from above the ceiling.
The Docklite luminaire is an adjustable robust luminaire suitable for warehouse loading bays. Typically installed next to a Loading Dock, it can be directed into the interior of a Lorry or Truck to allow quicker and safer loading/unloading.
The Tower Bollard was used throughout this Sheraton Hotel Resort in both Pedestrian areas and car parking areas. This unique architectural style and the indirect lighting effect are the typical reasons for choosing this Bollard.
The lamp is hidden inside the shaft and directs light under the Cone reflector. The long life Metal Halide lamp is a maintenance advantage.
Robust Louvered Bollard with good light distribution, rooted or flanged, suitable for paths, gardens or plaza areas. Easily replaceable parts and available in different sizes.
Emergency option available with CFL version. An occupancy sensor can be fitted internally to switch on/off automatically.
Some of the Administration offices for the Mater Hospital Dublin are located in old listed Georgian Buildings. The rooms have limited electrical sockets and rewiring to provide extra lighting points is difficult.
The Connaught luminaire is ideal in these situations as it only requires 1 ceiling electrical point for installation and provides significantly high lumen ouput from 6 x 55w T5 Fluorescent lamps to illuminate the ceiling and indirectly light the rooms. There is also a circular Fluorescent lamp used to illuminate the Bowl and an internal emergency option is offered if required.
The Luminaire has an attractive appearance and is suitable for rooms with higher ceilings (typically 4m to 10m) in offices, hotels, restaurants, banks, churches, libraries and historic buildings.
Decorative and Functional lighting for a hardware and home funishing retail outlet owned by the 4Home Group.
The SoftBay luminaire combines high efficiency optics normally associated with Industrial projects with a soft, attractive and low glare appearance. The refractor is prismatic and translucent designed to reduce glare, provide efficient lighting layouts, and to provide an uplight element to enhance the ceiling. The Luminaire requires minimum maintenance and average lamp life is 20,000+ hours.
Westland Row DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transport) station is one of the largest and busiest train stations in Dublin.
The original High Bay lighting was recently replaced with a scheme of WideBays. This has significantly improved light levels and uniformity. The WideBay Luminaire also has another advantage in that it provides a higher level of vertical illumination in comparison with most Luminaires, typically 2 or 3 times greater. This benefit provides greater comfort and safety to users, as the visibility of the sides of the Train including the Doors are greatly enhanced.
Average re-lamping is at 20,000 hours and these 400w lamps provide almost 50,000 lumens output, so the scheme is highly efficient and also maintenance friendly. The WideBay is widely used in Industrial High Bay projects and in Warehouses. A recessed version is available for the Clean Room or Food Industries.
Robust stainless steel slotted bollards ideal for pathway lighting were installed in several streets in Central Waterford. They provide illumination and also have a positive architectural effect.
These Slotted Bollards are available in different heights and with LED or Compact Fluorescent lamps. The Luminaire can be supplied in Aluminium or Stainless Steel.
Other applications where these Bollards have been used include Hotels, Retail centres and corporate offices, typically at the entrances, driveways or carparks. They can be controlled by Occupancy Sensors to switch off or to switch to 10% output at periods when there is no traffic.
Architectural Illuminated Wand Luminaires with stainless steel finish were supplied to this central Dublin Police (Garda) Station. The Project was a winner of an architectural award in 2009.
The 2.2m high luminaires are constructed with a 1.2m Stainless Steel Base and a 1m acrylic frosted lens. These Eye-catching Features draw attention to the entrance of the Building as well as providing some local illumination.
These Luminaires can be made to order with different heights and different lamp sources including colour changing LEDs. Typical installations include Hotels, corporate offices, Parks and civic areas, pedestrian areas and retail centres.
High light levels with good uniformity were achieved on this Greyhound Track at Dundalk Stadium. Excelite luminaires with VeeLites ‘Type 4′ reflector is ideal for Track illumination such as this. The Poles were positioned to minimise visual obstructions for spectators in the main stadium Building (from where the photo was taken). Extra long bespoke Outreach brackets were used on the near side.
Similar schemes were installed at Cork and Galway Stadiums.
The Excelite is also available with a Street light optic which is ideal for roadway or carpark illumination.
The Aktra luminaire provides high performance light output, restricts glare and has minimal backspill. These features made it ideal for the Visitors Centre in Perth, Scotland.
The Aktra Floodlights were used along the Perimeter to illuminate the entrance road. The site was alongside a busy street, so it was important not to allow glare or light spill to distract passing motorists.
In the carparks, VeeLite Supralites were used. The overall scheme has good light levels and uniformity, but with minimum Poles and clutter.
IL Series luminaires provides a high light level and good uniformity for this olympic sized swimming Pool. The Pool is located within the University of Limerick in Ireland where has a special emphasis on Sports training.
The Luminaires are located in 4 rows so they can be accessed for relamping easily. The outside rows can be accessed from the sides. The 2 central rows can be accessed from the central overhead gangway which runs the length of the Pole.
In the same Building, IL Series Luminaires are also used to illuminate an internal complex including Basketball Courts, Tennis Courts, a Sprint Track and a Jogging Track.
The IL Series is highly robust with IP65 sealing and lamps to 1000w Metal Halide or HPS. It is widely used in Industrial and Warehouse applications, power stations, etc. A bespoke recessed version is used in the 80,000 seater Croke Park Stadium for the Stand illumination.
The National Basketball Stadium in Dublin is illuminated by VeeLites IL Series luminaires.
This robust Product with heavy duty IP65 die cast construction and a 6mm tempered glass lens is used widely in Sports Halls and swimming arenas, as well as industrial and warehouse applications.
Robust IL Series luminaires with die cast IP65 construction and 6mm tempered glass lenses were used to illuminate this High Bay industrial facility.
The Luminaires are mounted up to 30m high and are supplied in 1000w version to minimise installation costs, as well as maintenance and relamping. Because of the heavy duty construction, they are particularly suited towards tough environments.
Large steel reflectors in a white finish were supplied to fit existing pillars and to add a dramatic night time effect to this retail complex.
These bespoke Products transformed this site to a unique architectural retail centre, which attracts the attention of all passing traffic. This is an advantage to B&Q and the other retailers who benefit from the extra traffic it generates to their stores.
VeeLite have supplied many similar Bespoke Products, mainly involving external Poles or large Metal construction. Details and estimated costs on request, without obligation.
The internal carpark at the Thistle Retail Centre in Stirling, Scotland was illuminated using over 300 Parklite luminaires.
This type of illumination is ideal in busy retail carparks where vacancy rates are low and switching by occupancy sensor would not be suitable.
The high performance optics provide wide spacings between Luminaires with good uniformity. Together with the high lumen package available (up to 20,000 lumens), the glare control provided by the shielded optics, and the uplight component to avoid the ‘cave effect’, the Parklite ensures internal carparks are well illuminated and minimal in appearance, due to the low quantity of luminaires.
Dairygold is one of the largest Food Processors in Ireland and is based in Mitchelstown, County Cork.
In the Warehouse areas, the individual Aisles are illuminated with Racklyters with T5 lamps. These were supplied with the optional integrated Occupancy Sensors so they switch on instantly if someone (or a Truck) passes underneath. An adjustable time delay switch ensures the Luminaires do not switch off until the Aisle underneath has been vacant for a sufficient period of time.
Energy savings, longer lamp life and less maintenance are the benefits. VeeLite can also supply versions which can be controlled by a single powerful remote Sensor which would be more appropriate for large open rooms. An Emergency version is offered as an option.
Other recent customers for Racklyters include ABB, Johnson & Johnson, Merck Sharpe & Dohme, Glanbia, Cork Institute of Technology, etc.
Merrion Luminaires 150w Metal Halide were installed at Unidare, at the CityWest Business Campus near Dublin. They were supplied on 7m Columns with a Black finish and with VeeLite ‘Corinthian’ brackets.
Several hundred of these fittings have now been installed in this Campus. The Luminaire is also popular with Hotels, Retail centres and for general road and street lighting. It has a high performance street optic to minimise the quantity of Luminaires and Poles needed for a Street or Road type application.
The Eco Series System supplied to this Local Authority carpark consisted of an 8m Pole, Wind Turbine, Solar Panel, LED Streetlight, Occupancy and Daylight Sensor, and a Battery and Control system.
The Carpark was used by Tourists and Locals for Walking, Bird Watching, walking Dogs and general sight seeing. However, many people were returning to the carpark in complete darkness which was both a discomfort and a safety concern. The nearest electricity point was several Kilometres away. This Stand alone system installed in 2009 switches on the LED Luminaire once there is movement nearby. It stays on for several minutes after it last detects any movement. It was designed for 2 hours operation per night and has a 2 week battery backup.
The installation of Supralytes at this ASDA store car park in Glasgow was similar to numerous Retail stores including Tesco, Morrisons, Safeways, LIDL where the wide spacings between Poles resulted in large savings in Poles, Luminaires and underground wiring, trenching, etc. Light levels are typically 20 Lux average in these carparks with a minimum of 10 Lux.
Widebay luminaires were supplied to this warehouse in Berlin. These Luminaires have a high quality white light (Metal Halide) and can be spaced at wide intervals, without compromising the uniformity of the lighting achieved. The deep acrylic lens provides extra illumination on Vertical surfaces, ideal for Warehouses. Lamp life is typically over 20,000 hours so relamping and maintenance is minimised.
For the Helix Theatre at Dublin City University, some 5 Stainless Steel ‘Specials’ were manufactured to order. Designed by Architects A&D Wejchert to compliment the Building, the conical columns were supplied with conical Luminaires, all in Stainless Steel. The luminaire is IP65 rated and with an efficient reflector system. The columns have removable brackets and banners.
Car park and Amenity Area illumination at the Ipsen Pharmaceuticals Plant at Wrexham, UK. The Photo shows one of the 5 Optra 400w high performance, low glare Luminaires installed.
These Architectural and low glare Luminaires are for the illumination of car parks and general amenity areas. They have full cut-off and are dark-skies friendly. The superior optics allow for wide spacings between the Poles without any reduction in lighting uniformity. This results in savings on Poles, Luminaires, energy, relamping and in installation (wiring, trenching etc).
Also shown are Louvered Bollards for pathway illumination (which are also available in a version which can be controlled by internal Occupancy sensors).
The 2 main Ports in Dubai were relit with Heavy Duty 1000w Marine Grade Floodlights to provide white light and high light levels. The Luminaires were mounted on existing Container Cranes. The contrast between the old Floodlights and the new scheme was so great that the remaining Floodlights were also changed. The new Floodlights have special anti-vibration protection and high tolerance against voltage swings, which is often an issue on Cranes. These Floodlights are in use in many Marine areas including Portsmouth Harbour UK, Durban in South Africa, New York, etc.
Grand Salle, Lausanne, Switzerland. Industrial look High Bays with instant on/off illumination.
Usually, IL Series high Bays would be installed in heavy duty environments, such as Aircraft Hangers, Power Plants, Mechanical Engineering Facilities, etc. Its heavy duty construction and robust IP65 sealing, with easy access for lamp changing has made it a favourite in such applications. However, it is also used widely in Sports and General purpose Halls. It was chosen by Architects in Lausanne for this Project.
This underground carpark project was supplied recently using 52 x Parkdisc luminaires. Each luminaire was a 2 x 55w TC-L version. There was another 22 x Parkdiscs 2 x 26w TC-L version witha dimming system.
The carpark area is also the entrance to a Retail Complex and the Parkdisc was chosen because of its slim architectural appearance. The Local Authority in Zoetermeer has used many VeeLite Products over the last 20 years including the Supralite for external parking area and the Parklite for bridge Underpasses as well as conventional carparks.
