Luceco and Ensigna Construction shine at Harris Academy Merton

The London-based academy was optimised with LED lighting technology to accommodate assembly areas, as well as a range of different indoor sports activities and a multitude of additional functions within the school calendar.

Luceco and Ensigna Construction provided a notably cost effective and energy efficient lighting solution in the form of LED LuxPanels, installed in a double height multifunctional hall with high ceilings.

Glare control and adequate illuminance on the vertical combined with good uniformity were necessities in the application. A 4200-lumen variant of LuxPanel was used to provide lighting levels suitable for a number of functions, including assembly, examination facilities and sports activities.

High efficiency LuxPanels from Luceco are quick and easy to install into exposed grid ceilings, with remote ‘plug and play’ drivers. Available in standard fixed output, dimmable and emergency options with no maintenance or relamping requirements over their lifetime, LuxPanel eliminates the need for high access equipment normally required for lamp maintenance, as well as benefiting the environment in terms of energy efficiency and lamp disposal.

Choosing the right lighting in these spaces can be particularly challenging as a Main Hall is required to serve a variety of different uses. High efficiency backlit panels provide a solution, have a completely frameless appearance in the ceiling plane and boast a market leading efficacy of 152 Llm/cW.

Harris Academy Merton is a member of the Harris Federation, a group of 44 primary and secondary academies in and around London educating some 30,000- young people. The federation is a not-for-profit charity created by Lord Harris of Peckham who takes active interest in the success of the academies.
