Case Study: Chester University

Luceco’s Leren at Chester University

Luceco has recently supplied luminaires to the University of Chester Engineering Building. The university originated as the first purpose-built teacher training college in the UK, occupying five campus sites in and around Chester, with additional sites in Warrington and Shrewsbury. Luminaires supplied included linear suspended Leren along with recessed 600 x 600 LuxPanels and externally Fortis Wall packs.

Offering both upward and downward light distribution, particularly where there are high or open ceiling voids to illuminate, Leren was suspended to meet the requirements of the teaching spaces. Supplied complete with adjustable wire suspensions, Leren benefits from through-wiring, including electrical connectors as standard, to assist with both standalone and continuous run installations. Accessories available include ceiling mount electrical connection rose and blanking modules in 600, 900, 1,200 and 1,500-mm lengths.

Featuring a slim aluminium extrusion and offering superior quality lighting specifically optimised for the educational setting, Leren is available as fixed output, DALI dimmable, emergency back-up variants, PIR and Luceco wireless lighting controls including Platform and Elevate.

Luceco Project Manager, Andy Whalley, who designed the lighting solution for the engineering training centre said, “Due to the modern construction and exposed ceilings of the building, we saw our contemporary Leren luminaire as being the perfect lighting solution for the teaching spaces.”

Leren offers excellent photometric performance and over 100,000 hours of maintenance free, operational life with an efficacy of 120 Llm/cW, and three lumen outputs: 4,000, 5,200 and 7,500 lm as well as Luceco’s 7-year warranty. The luminaires were installed by DTM Installations based in Alderley Edge.
