Gateway

Problem areas identified were:

The client was also holding a quotation running into £0000’s for urgent lighting repairs required to meet requirements.

Future Lighting was delighted to be commissioned to assist with the design and development of a new efficient & complaint lighting solution utilising the existing decorative light bodies; while still complementing the original design of the building.

Due to the high specification décor the client was struggling to find a suitable fitting design that wouldn’t compromise the internal design scheme. Previous contactors/lighting specialist couldn’t propose a suitable solution.

The maintenance team had done their utmost to repair the system but the task was never ending, so property managers contacted Future Lighting for help. We arranged a survey and proposed a retrofit LED solution that would utilise the existing flush lamp housings.
