Safety light in patinated housing
For historical reasons, the existing luminaire housing could not be removed and adapted for this project. It was also not permitted to drill any additional holes.
Not emergency light
Intelligent access control in exhibition operations
The challenge
Within the scope of this project, the renovation of the exhibition area posed a particular challenge, as the room in this historic fortress has very limited capacity. More visitors at the same time would noticeably impair its use and atmosphere. Therefore, targeted regulation of access was necessary.
The architect in charge commissioned us to implement a solution that would clearly indicate whether the maximum number of visitors had been reached when entering the exhibition space. This would make it clear from the outside when no further access was possible.
The solution
After consultation with all parties involved, a solution using pictograms was finally developed to clearly communicate the admission ban. An FSU luminaire with classic red-green signalling is used to regulate the flow of visitors. The luminaire is powered by a PLC24 emergency lighting system. The switchover of the luminaire is reliable and clear, performed by an external contact that is connected directly to the device. In this way, the maximum permitted number of people is clearly communicated and access to the exhibition space is effectively regulated.

Efficient lighting and safety at the same time
Initially, the plan was only to convert the general lighting to LED, but in the course of this it was realised that some of the general lighting was also used as emergency lighting. We were therefore able to use this opportunity to convert to modern safety luminaires.
