The educational offer prepares students for their subsequent destination and participation in society. For this target group, there is a specific desire with regard to lighting. This is because the glare angle plays a very important role here, as does the uniformity of the emitted light. In total, almost 400 LEDVANCE luminaires were used in the project.
In cooperation with LEDVANCE, a suitable lighting solution was sought within the portfolio of LEDVANCE luminaires for the entire building. For the lighting of the classrooms, this solution was found in the LEDVANCE Linear IndiviLED® Direct DALI. The luminaires are pinned installed and offer homogeneous light distribution and low glare (UGR <16) thanks to the IndiviLED® optics. They are controlled with OSRAM DALI MCU for convenient and energy-efficient light management. Compared to the T8 light lines of the old installation, energy savings of up to 50% are now achieved.
The LEDVANCE Linear Surface IP44 was used for the corridors and changing and shower rooms. This line luminaire with low maintenance and low operating costs provides bright, direct lighting and is an efficient replacement for traditional T8 and T5 luminaires. In addition, LEDVANCE Panel 1200 luminaires were also installed in the corridors.
Thanks to a special driver, flicker is minimal - ease of installation is maximum. In the toilet areas, Downlight Slim Square luminaires with surface-mounted mounting frame hang. With their slim housing and low installation depth, the square downlights have a highly functional design.
A lighting project with a special application area like this one also requires special requirements. All the luminaires used met these stringent requirements. One was that the radiance of the lighting at a 45-degree angle should not exceed 500 candela per square meter. In addition, the UGR had to be <16 and the light color 3000K.
"The new lighting solution from LEDVANCE has achieved energy savings of 60%. The lumen count, on the other hand, has more than doubled compared to the old lighting," said Bart Verkerke, technical consultant at BINK Elektro.
