10 Bard Road, London: LG7-Compliant CAT A Lighting

The design brief was to create a contemporary office space with a clean cut look, appealing to future tenants and reaching the efficacy levels within LG7 at the same time.

The architect’s scheme provides six units across three levels. The luminaire used in the main offices was the tried and tested  Lopen suspended in a contemporary matte black finish.

The 299 light engineers provided the client with a full lighting design and calculation, ensuring that all correct light levels were met and the scheme is LG7 compliant. The full size product samples were handed to the client and architect for the sign-off.  The main challenge on this project was to incorporate the new office lighting with the existing air-conditioning cassettes. This was achieved by using suspended linear lighting with direct/indirect light distribution.

The outstanding performance and efficiency combined with a clean-cut look make the Lopen an ideal luminaire for general office lighting. Fitted with an opal diffuser, it enhances the interiors, creating clean lines of light. The standard 1430 mm length was used in this project, with 4000K for a neutral look.
Some of the luminaires were also fitted with emergency units following the full emergency lighting design that our team carried out to support the project.
