Project Overview
Contrac Lighting was appointed to deliver a comprehensive lighting upgrade for a local hospital, focusing on enhancing energy efficiency and lighting performance while minimising redecoration costs through a practical, design-led approach.
The Challenge
The challenge was to upgrade the lighting while retaining the original rod suspension system from the previous fixtures. Using our design expertise, the team adapted our products to ensure compatibility with the existing mountings, avoiding the need for costly structural changes or extensive redecoration.
The Solution
Contrac Lighting utilised its in-house design and programming capabilities to redesign the fabrication of the Kessle and Scout luminaires, ensuring fixing points aligned precisely with the existing rod suspensions on site. This required highly accurate measurements to achieve a seamless fit and significantly reduce the need for redecoration. As a UK manufacturer, Contrac Lighting maintained full control over the design and production process, enabling the team to deliver a tailored solution that met the client’s requirements.
