Expected results compared to the previous lighting:

1. >70% lower installed power

2. >70% lower carbon dioxide emissions

3. >50% total cost savings

Extra benefits from our LED solution:

1. The number of luminaires and total installed power decreased

2. Visibility has improved since the daylight white light makes the colours and movements more easily perceived by the eye.

3. Day White lighting has proven to increase productivity

4. Colour temperature changing to suit mood, time or task.

Project: To install dimmable LED lighting into the new rooms of Sandbacks School

The Brief -

To accommodate ProCivita's business, AcadeMedia had to rebuild Sandbacks School. The rebuild consisted of 20 classrooms, 10 office rooms and common areas, corridors and kitchens. With this new build, AcadeMedia choose for these areas to have intelligent LED lighting.

The old lighting meant that the average lighting intensity in the classrooms was less than 500 lux whereas the new lighting solution is designed to give >500 lux in medium illumination.

The Solution -

The Sky Panel 66 was chosen to be installed in classrooms. This LED panel provides a daylight-white light which is fully dimmable between 0-100% via a simple twist light switch. It has a power factor of over 120 lumens per watt, gives a luminous flux of 4650 lumens and is dimmable via DALI or 10VDC. The high luminous flux helps to reduce the number of luminaires.

In the café area we installed an LED panel called Sky Panel 66 CTC. This luminaire also provides the ability to change the colour temperature and dims with wireless or with DALI control. In this case, wireless control was chosen in the form of a remote which is controlled by the school staff.

The luminaires are only 12 millimeters thick and can therefore be fitted with minimal space between the roof and ceiling but it can also be connected with integrated loops in the luminaire. The luminaires also provide a soft and pleasant light with a glare value (UGR) of less than 19.

The new lighting has received a lot of positive comments from students and teachers at the school.
