Collingwood Lighting has helped to design and supply the lighting for Wrexham FC’s new official club shop.
Working in partnership with electrical contractor Barlows, Collingwood helped to meet a tight six-week deadline to open before the launch of the football club’s new team shirt.
Richard Hamer, director at Barlows, said: “Lighting is essential in any retail environment, but especially for clothing… Collingwood Lighting ensured that we had a well-designed retail lighting installation completed in time for the club’s launch and sale of their new shirt. The lighting ensures that the fans enjoy their shopping experience and staff can work in all areas comfortably.”
After approval for their lighting design, Collingwood supplied a wide range of LED downlights and three-circuit track lighting for the shop floor, panel lights for the offices and anti-corrosive industrial lighting for the storerooms. They also designed and provided all the products for the emergency lighting system. Collingwood scheduled all their deliveries to meet Barlows’ installation timeline and the lighting design clearly labelled where to install the fittings to avoid any confusion.
The installation includes fixed downlights that provide ambient lighting with a wide beam width of 100° plus adjustable downlights that tilt. The latter have a beam width of 60° to focus extra light in specific areas. The company’s design supplemented this with 48V track lighting and its Aurea spotlights for display lighting. The spotlights swivel and tilt through 90° so users can accurately target the lighting where they need it. Collingwood also provided lighting for the essential behind the scenes areas. The office areas use its Solis panel lights that have a low glare UGR of less than 16 and the stock areas have anti-corrosive durable Caiman fittings.
