The hospital was built on the site of a Victorian mansion known as Wexham Park; the design led to an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects.<\/p>\n
After an exhaustive selection process, Luceco was engaged to provide a detailed survey for Wexham Park and Frimley Park Hospitals becoming a key supplier to Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, which covers Wexham Park, Frimley Park and Heatherwood Hospitals.<\/p>\n
LED LuxPanels from Luceco were the principle luminaires utilised due to their energy e\ufb03ciency and cost e\ufb00ectiveness, being quick and easy to install with remote ‘plug and play’ drivers.<\/p>\n
Nigel Ford, project manager from Luceco said: \u201cThe lighting design, supply and installation of the LED luminaire retro\ufb01t refurbishment required precision planning and contractors had to work within limited timeframes, to ensure minimal disruption to patients and medical personnel\u201d.<\/p>\n
As well as corridors and circulation areas, departments relit included specialist facilities such as renal, pre-natal, elderly and ambulatory care units, ED Minors, AMU and Endoscopy all of which are constant demand locations.<\/p>\n
LuxPanel luminaires were also installed in administration spaces such education centres lecture theatres, pharmacy care, libraries and medical records, all bene\ufb01ting from non-obtrusive but e\ufb00ective lighting in high tra\ufb03c areas whilst still o\ufb00ering improved glare control. Available in \ufb01xed output, dimmable and emergency options with no maintenance or re-lamping requirements over their lifetime, LuxPanel eliminates the need for access equipment normally required for lamp maintenance, as well as bene\ufb01tting the environment in terms of energy e\ufb03ciency and lamp disposal.<\/p>\n
Further circulation areas to bene\ufb01t from the LED lighting refurbishment included corridors and consultancy rooms lit with the Academy luminaire.<\/p>\n
Academy bene\ufb01ts from an opal prism di\ufb00user with screw secured endcaps and can be surface mounted or suspended. It also has a central cable entry with BESA \ufb01xings spaced at 600mm, so are ideal for retro\ufb01tting traditional \ufb02uorescent lamped \ufb01ttings in healthcare environments. As with LuxPanel, Academy is ideal for use with sensors and lighting controls including LiteIP to further improve energy e\ufb03ciency and has dimmable and emergency options available.<\/p>\n
As well as providing emergency, trauma, coronary care, maternity services and orthopaedic surgery, Wexham Park Hospital is home to a renowned plastic surgery unit with a wealth of history. Founded by pioneering British plastic surgeon Stewart Harrison, it rapidly became known as a major UK centre of excellence.<\/p>\n
