The recent refurbishment and upgrade of a 32-bedroom sheltered housing complex at 82 Montrose Terrace in Edinburgh included the installation of new lighting and emergency exit signs to cover the communal areas and stairways of all six ๏ฌoors of the building.
Products from Scolmore and ESP were selected for this retro๏ฌt project, with Scolmoreโs popular Inceptor EVO bulkhead providing the lighting solution and ESPโs Duceri 2W LED maintained exit signs installed to provide safe lighting for all exits.
Lee Rodgers, property o๏ฌcer with Trust Housing Association, commented: โAs with all refurbishment projects of this nature we need to ensure we get the best value products that are easy to install, are cost-e๏ฌective and cause minimal disruption to our tenantsโ day to day lives. We had excellent support from Scolmore and ESP in selecting the right products for our requirements and they proved very quick and easy to install with very little work needed to restore the dรฉcor.โ
A total of 20 Duceri 2W LED Emergency Exit Signs were installed, chosen for their high performance, independent testing and ease of installation. The ๏ฌtting features an SMD 3528 LED lamp, with 5500K colour temperature and o๏ฌers a viewing distance of 24m. They o๏ฌer three hours emergency duration and have been tested to meet BS EN 60598-2-22 Standards.
At least 120 EVO Bulkhead products were ๏ฌtted. These were the 17W LED Utility Bulkheads with 3hour emergency and microwave sensor option. The EVO Bulkheads o๏ฌer a range of features and bene๏ฌts that make them quick and easy to install. As well as integrating the control gear and the light source within the di๏ฌuser, the bulkhead has the added bene๏ฌt of a Flow plug which allows for fast and simple connection and disconnection for testing and maintenance of the luminaire.
This retro๏ฌt lighting installation project is the ๏ฌrst of what forms part of a wider refurbishment programme which is being rolled out across all of the Trustโs housing stock.
