When the customer came and asked us provide a lighting solution, they stipulated  us reuse the existing lighting rafts, this was a decisive factor within P&A’s design of the spaces. With using our SS70 luminaire, we were able to create innovative tailored lighting solution to fit existing rafts on floors One through to fifth floor. Tailored Harmonious lighting solution. One of challenges on this project, located on the first floor there were some small meeting rooms, which a linear luminaire couldn’t be suspended central to the room due to the air conditioning units, this is where we able to produce tailored solution around the air-conditioning cassettes.

20th Year

by Neil McClymont 2023/09/26

2003 – 2023 “20th Anniversary of P&A Projects” P&A is proud to celebrate its 20th anniversary this year! We started out as a small business with just a few employees, but over the past two decades we’ve grown into a thriving company. We’ve supplied lighting to various projects from residential to large scale commercial, and we’re excited to continue our journey in the years to come. How it Started. It was in Burscough, Lancashire that the business was established in 2003.  Initially the business was setup as OEM manufacturing, producing bespoke products for various industries, then slowly over years the business has evolved into producing bespoke lighting and commercial lighting products.  Our these initial years we gained a wealth industry knowledge in the field whilst slowly establishing a reputation in providing turnkey lighting solutions.      Early to Mid Years. During the early years, our lighting products were based on using florescent lighting as source of light, but by around 2010 the emergence of LED technology was introduced. During the early days of LED technology we established a connection with a local LED manufacturing facility, this connection still exist till today. This emergence of new technology coincided P&A Projects, becoming more established as a commercial lighting brand. Over the years we have established connections with various small lighting and electrical contractors, supplying lighting under our customers brand as well as own.   Later Years. Our Brand over the later years has grown and we have seen the business flourish, with its distinct style, high quality craftmanship and in house expertise. These core values and continuous investment in business has been valuable in securing some prestigious projects in recent years, like new “RVH Maternity hospital” in Belfast, Northern Ireland, “Express Building” in Manchester and the code breaking inspired “Heron House” in Manchester. We’re excited to see what the future holds for P&A. We’re committed to providing our clients with the best possible service, and we’re always looking for new ways to innovate and grow. Thank you again for your support! We couldn’t have done it without you.

Lighting Controls

by Neil McClymont 2023/09/04

Our “Lighting Controls” Create an energy-efficient space using lighting controls. We can help you find the right system for your needs so that you can easily create efficient and dynamic environment. Why do we need lighting controls? Lighting controls systems are an important way to reduce CO2 and energy consumption in the modern office. By automatically adjusting the lighting levels based on occupancy and daylight availability, these systems can help to ensure that lights are only on when they are needed. This can lead to significant savings on energy costs, as well as a reduction in CO2 emissions. Studies have shown by adding lighting controls can save between 10% to 90% on energy costs in office buildings depending the use of the space. In addition to energy savings, lighting controls can also improve the comfort and productivity of office workers. By providing the right amount of light for the task at hand, these systems can help to reduce eyestrain and fatigue. This can lead to increased productivity and a better overall work environment.   Our Offerings At P&A projects we can offer the following can be supplied as either luminaire integrated, standalone or as combination of both.  BASIC. Our basic offering is a simple plug and play wired solution that provides basic functionality including Presence/absence control, daylight lighting levels and delay times. With this solution, it allows the user to control either a single fitting or a group of fittings within a room. Key features Occupancy detection Daylight dimming control (on/off) Luminaire or Standalone options Basic system architecture. DALI. Our DALI offering is a network connected wired solution where each light is assigned an address. The system uses digital commands to control functions like switching and dimming, these are sent out from a central control unit to all the addresses informing the luminaires to follow a particular instruction/protocol.  A DALI system is bi-directional, this means that not only can the luminaire receive signals it also can communicate back to the central controller to provide useful information like fault finding. Key features Occupancy detection Daylight dimming control Luminaire or Standalone options Scene setting Corridor Function Local switching intergration Central control system facility to report Can be combined and used in conjunction with wireless control system DALI system architecture. WIRELESS. Our wireless solution is Casambi enabled network, that allows the user control up to 250 devices per a via a Bluetooth mesh, this solution is fully intuitive and requires no additional wiring. The network can setup and be controlled via a Casambi app via a IOS or Android mobile device, which allows the end user make any changes over-the -air without the need for internet connection. Key features Occupancy detection Daylight dimming control Luminaire or Standalone options Scene setting Corridor Function Local switching integration Scalable and flexible Programed using an mobile device and app Can be combined and used in conjunction with DALI control system Wireless system architecture. INTELLIGENT. Our intelligent solution is a fully scalable wireless control system. It is self learning that uses a smart algorithm to learn how the space is used, by collecting data from its own sensors and luminaires within a network, and responds to the amount of natural light in the space. No control wiring or programming is required, all is required is to install them and  switch on the mains. Fine tuning the configuration can be achieved on-site by using a mobile device and app. Key features Plug and Play system Self learning and adaptable system. Occupancy detection Daylight dimming control Luminaire or Standalone options Scene setting Corridor Function Local self powered switching integration Scalable and flexible Fine tuning via mobile device and app Intelligent system architecture. COMPLETE MONITORING. Our complete 360 monitoring solution by Tridonic, with this system you can either use a standard wired, wireless or both general lighting with a wireless emergency lighting system. This allows the user to have all controls and report data fed back to a single central location. Key features Run automatic testing of standard and emergency luminaires Integrate wireless and wireless system into one system Connect to BMS systems Energy, Fault & Diagnostic data management Asset data management Complete system architecture. By using lighting controls, businesses can make a significant impact on their environmental impact and save money on their energy bills. These systems are a win-win for businesses and the environment. If you require any further information, please get in contact CONTACT P&A BACK TO INSPIRATION

Florescent Lamp Ban

by Neil McClymont 2023/07/28

Florescent Lighting “T5 & T8 lamps time is nearly up” News Do you know as of the 1st of September 2023, that T5 and T8 florescent lamps will be phased out altogether and it will be illegal to use these type of lamps in the UK. These changes have been made by in accordance to EU commission and ROHS directives. As of September 2023, all electrical equipment in the UK must comply with the ROHS directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). As these type of lamps contain mercury, a hazardous material which is also damaging to the environment, it is required that all business owners source alternative lighting solutions. If you’re looking for alternative and effective solution then LED lighting is the answer. LED lighting is more efficient and more cost effective solution than florescent, with its extended lifetime, low maintenance cost and energy savings. If you’re seeking a solution on how to replace you’re existing lighting to LED solution, with energy savings then please get in touch us with discuss your requirements. CONTACT P&A
