Monument protection
Many buildings are listed – this sometimes makes flexibility and unrestricted processing difficult. The requirement for this project was that deep-beam emergency lighting was needed and that no additional holes or interventions in the masonry were permitted due to the listed building status.
A solution therefore had to be found that combined monument protection and modern emergency lighting without having to interfere with the historic masonry.
A solution with our EYE Pro was developed in collaboration with a lighting designer and our special luminaire construction department: 3 EYE Pro units were mounted at an angle of 5° on a white painted mounting plate facing outwards through the wire suspension of the existing spherical luminaire.
Ideally, the existing hole in the chandelier could be used, so there is now a fixture with integrated emergency lighting directly above the chandelier.
Architectural
The architect's clear ideas allowed for an elegant solution: the escape sign and safety luminaires were integrated into a single aluminium housing and mounted on the column to match its size.
Monument protection
The challenge was to integrate the new luminaires into the existing cast-iron flush-mounted boxes without having to make any changes to the stucco wall into which the installation frames of the luminaires were mortised.
