Case Study: 2 West Regent Street, Glasgow

Luceco provides the perfect fit at Glasgow offices

After previous work on a different floor of 2 West Regent Street in Glasgow, Luceco partnered with local contractors, Electrical Solutions (Scotland) Ltd, to provide a lighting design that met the brief of the consultant’s lighting requirements.

What problem did Luceco solve?

The biggest challenge that had to be faced was the unconventional luminaire cut-out size, measured at 1200x300mm. Chris Bryant, Group Managing Director of Electrical Solutions (Scotland) explains, “We needed to provide a cost effective lighting solution to fit into a non-standard suspended ceiling, that resulted in a comfortable, well-lit commercial working space while also reducing future running costs.”

What products did Luceco supply?

To fit the non-standard ceiling requirement, Grahame Scott, Luceco’s Project Manager, suggested using Luceco’s LuxPanel Extra lighting, a recessed panel fitting from the commercial range.

The LuxPanel Extra is a slimline backlit LED panel with TPa rated diffusers, long life drivers, and IP65 protected options. Backlit LED panels mount the modules to the back of the panel’s body, allowing for direct downward distribution from the modules themselves. Due to the direct light, there is no requirement for an LGP. This allows a backlit panel to offer increased performance in terms of lumen per watt and balanced light distribution.

Installation is achieved easily and efficiently with a plug and play ENEC approved loop in-out driver and rear safety wire suspension points.

Grahame Scott, Project Manager at Luceco, said: “We re-engineered our LuxPanel Extra luminaires to appropriately fit the Armstrong SAS330 ceiling they needed to fit in to. We then used our Platinum Downlighters around the perimeter of the space to compliment the lighting design and achieve the best look for the office space in West Regent Street.”

Why did the customer choose Luceco?

Chris Bryant, Group Managing Director of Electrical Solutions (Scotland) explains, “We had worked with Luceco on a previous floor in this building, so we knew that they would be able to help us find a solution.”
