“LED lighting solutions offer a huge variety of controllable and scalable

lighting options, while reducing energy, CO2 emissions and maintenance

costs compared with traditional light sources.” Mark McDonnell (Litetask)

BackgroundRoyal Philips Electronics’ has supplied Yorkshire based GHD, the

market leading manufacturer of styling irons, with an LED lighting

solution for their recently opened prestigious of! ces in the centre of

Leeds. The lighting speci! cation was developed by Litetask along with

John Shef! eld, a director of Bradford based electrical contractors,

Southern & Redfern who carried out the installation.

SolutionMark McDonnell of Litetask, explains why Philips iW Cove Power-

core LED luminaires were selected to ful! ll the client’s brief,” Whilst

it was essential that the lighting design had a high visual impact it also

had to be energy ef! cient at the same time. Using Philips LED mo-

dules seem to be the ideal choice as they met both of these criteria.

Plus the fact that they have a 3 year guarantee means that you can

specify with con! dence.”

The ‘wow’ factor of the lighting design was provided by installing 718

of Philips SSL ‘iW Cove Powercore‘ LED luminaires in the main of! ce

and catwalk areas as well as in the entrance lobby. ‘Intelligent white’

(iW) Cove is an LED luminaire which is ideally suited for alcove

applications.

Unlike conventional white light ! xtures, iW Cove Powercore allows

colour temperature control within the range of 3000K to 6500K,

offering variable atmosphere with the simple push of a button. Also,

unlike traditional light sources, white LEDs maintain their precise

colour temperature even as they’re dimmed.

In addition, the luminaires have end to end locking connectors for

continuous streams of light which complements the sleek contempo-

rary interior design of the GHD of! ces.

As the ‘Powercore’ technology is an integral part of the luminaire this

means in essence that only one cable is needed since the power and

data processing is inbuilt within the unit. Creating the variable change

of white was achieved via a Mode DMX lighting control system.

As McDonnell concludes, “LED lighting solutions offer a huge variety

of controllable and scalable lighting options, while reducing energy,

CO2 emissions and maintenance costs compared with traditional

light sources.”

Philips LED lighting solutions make bad hair days a thing of

the past at GHD’s prestigious of� ces in Leeds.
