Case Study – Translink, Milewater Service Centre, Belfast
P&A supplied the bulk of the interior lighting for the Glider’s new home from a range of recessed and suspended products which were all custom designed. Linear slot lights were specified by the consultant for this project. We also created a special lens to ensure the lights fitted into the space properly. Throughout the entire process, we worked very closely with Anthony Hayes in AH Design to create the design the client was looking for. Creating bespoke lighting products ensured we met the high standards demanded by Translink and by the office lighting regulations that we have to comply with. With every project we undertake, we strive to ensure we select the right products for the job and manufacture them to our own very high standards. From a lighting perspective, there were some quite unusual elements to the job which was interesting for us. We’ve worked with AH Design and also with Henry Brothers in the past and that existing relationship also helped get us over the line. We’re very proud of the end result.

Improved Photometric Data
With the purchase of our new LabSpion Goniophotometer, we at P&A will be able to improve the photometric data of each of our luminaires. This will allow us to more accurately assess the luminaire requirements of each of our clients, ensuring that the lighting we specify is perfect for each individual installation. The Gonio we selected uses a spectroradiometer which can be used to measure a wider variety of luminaire characteristics, this will provide us with a large range of information and more accurate data. Some of the data we are now capable of recording includes: Total luminous flux (lumens) Useful lumens (per EU 1194/2012) Zonal flux (lumens) Stabilisation time (minutes) Peak luminous intensity (candelas) Cone & ISO illuminance (lux) PPFD (photon flux density) Unified glare rating (UGR) CIE 1931 & 1960 chromaticity coordinates (xy, uv, Duv) Correlated colour temperature (CCT, Kelvin) Colour rendering index (CRI, Ra & R1-14) Colour rendering index (IES TM30, Rf & Rg) Colour rendering (CQS, Q1-14) Spectral power distribution (360-830nm) Beam angle (degrees) Beam shape (luminous intensity versus angle of inclination & azimuth) Power consumption (Watts) Power factor Luminous efficacy (lumens/Watt)
