Cuisine De France New Distribution Centre- Grangecastle

IAWS recently relocated to their new state of the art multimillion euro distribution centre in Grange Castle in Dublin.

As part of the design brief the glass exterior structure was required to be subtly illuminated in hours of darkness to reflect the modern design, sleek lines and innovative build of the main office building.

In association with the Art Of Light, FibreLED manufactured a bespoke LED strip system complete with custom housing. An exact level of brightness was needed so that the building was illuminated to a level yet not overbearing, garish or obtrusive to those working within the building. The system was required to give a halo, a glow to elevation yet the actual luminaires creating the effect were required to be discreet and not immediately visible.

Access for maintenance was also and issue therefore the system to be installed had to be of the utmost durability. The LED system was resin sealed for weathering protection. The bespoke housing gave due tolerance for expansion due to heat build-up behind the glass facia.

The LED Strip system installed in low voltage (12v) and consumes just 5watts per metre. The running cost for the system is negligible, the system requires no maintenance. This simple design using a quality, durable LED system is very effective.
