Light showers

Philips Lighting’s scheme for the new Met Office in Exeter combines energy efficient light sources with flexible control and aesthetics. With the aim to achieve an Excellent BREEAM rating, use was made of T5 fluorescent technology, high frequency dimmable ballasts and the ECS Philips LightMaster 100 control system. The firm’s Milewide external luminaires were used to reduce light pollution. A series of Philips direct/indirect TPH 700 single and multiple luminaires were connected at 90° angles to the central bulkhead, each housing a 49 W TL5.
