TRILUX has successfully implemented a cutting-edge, holistic lighting solution for the Alicante Digital District, an innovative technology hub located at the Port of Alicante. The district, covering 9,200 sqm and comprising four two-storey buildings, has become a magnet for over 300 tech companies specialising in technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence. TRILUX’s state-of-the-art lighting concept enhances the appeal and functionality of this thriving business ecosystem.

 

Lighting the Heart of Alicante’s Digital Transformation

The Alicante Digital District is part of the Region of Valencia’s ambitious efforts to transition from traditional production models to a forward-thinking digital economy. Situated at the Port of Alicante, with breathtaking views of Santa Bárbara Castle, the sea, and the city skyline, the district is at the forefront of the planned Port Technology Hub.

Its prime location offers exceptional national and international connections. Madrid is just two hours away by high-speed train, and Alicante-Elche Airport is a mere 15-minute drive, providing direct links to major European capitals.

Smart, Sophisticated Infrastructure for a Digital Ecosystem

The architecture and design of the district’s four new buildings have been meticulously crafted to meet the needs of the digital industry, offering collaborative spaces, private offices, and facilities for events, training, and presentations. The extensive outdoor areas, including parking spaces, pathways, green zones, and terraces, also required a versatile and integrated lighting solution.

TRILUX was chosen as the lighting partner due to its ability to deliver a seamless, high-quality solution for both interior and exterior spaces, ensuring energy efficiency, smart control, and sleek design throughout.

Innovative Interior Lighting Solutions

Inside the buildings, TRILUX’s E-Line Next linear luminaire system, in sleek black, takes centre stage, providing UGR19 glare-free illumination ideal for workstations. Corridors are lit with Sonnos recessed luminaires, while Ambiella downlights, with their IP44 protection rating, enhance the sanitary areas. The entire interior lighting system is connected via the LiveLink lighting management system, which uses daylight and presence sensors for optimal energy efficiency and comfort.

The flexibility of the LiveLink control system allows for easy adjustments as tenant requirements or room uses change, ensuring a user-friendly experience with intuitive control.

Modern Outdoor Lighting to Complement the Architecture

TRILUX’s exterior lighting solutions complement the sleek architectural design of the buildings. The outdoor lighting scheme, which includes square Skeo Q wall luminaires, Lutera recessed floor luminaires, and round Invego wall luminaires, accentuates the buildings while harmonising with the environment. The staircases are illuminated with Pareda Slim recessed wall luminaires, featuring asymmetrical beam characteristics for a striking visual effect.

In the parking areas, TRILUX’s durable and efficient Deveo Fit luminaires provide optimal lighting with minimal operating costs. All outdoor fixtures are rated IP66, ensuring robustness and longevity in outdoor conditions.

Collaboration and Expertise Drive Success

The lighting design for the Alicante Digital District was created in close collaboration with GLOGESTEC Engineering (Valencia) and installed by SOLTEC Installateur. This teamwork ensured a smooth execution and the delivery of high-quality results.

Sergio de la Torre, Area Sales at TRILUX, commented:

“The Alicante Digital District exemplifies how well our product portfolio and expertise align with the demands of the market. It also highlights the importance of collaboration between partners to achieve success in large-scale, complex projects.”

Premium Lighting for Premier League Football: Zumtobel Illuminates Tottenham Hotspur Training Centre

The Tottenham Hotspur Training Centre in Enfield, North London, is one of the premier training grounds in the world. It boasts state-of-the-art facilities catering to every aspect of player training and development, from physical conditioning to mental coaching. The facility also serves as a hub for social and educational programs, enriching the lives of thousands within the local community.

Zumtobel, having already forged a successful partnership with Tottenham Hotspur through the supply of over 77,000 luminaires for the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, was once again selected as the preferred lighting supplier for the Training Centre. With a diverse range of luminaires, bespoke product development capabilities, and unparalleled installation expertise, Zumtobel was uniquely positioned to enhance the Training Centre’s multifaceted environment at the intersection of sports, education, and architecture. Every aspect of training in one place.

Team play first

To shed the best possible light on all these different club activities, lighting provider Zumtobel was heavily involved in the concept stage of the project, working closely with F3 Architects, Electro Tech Installations and M & E consultants EDP Environmental.

In order to be able to implement individual changes to the standard luminaires and to supply customised products, Zumtobel put two experienced lighting designers on the team throughout the process to make sure that the lengths and sizes of the luminaires fitted and all the clients’ and architects’ wishes were realised.

Unique design concept, urban appeal

Rachel McMurray, Zumtobel Project Manager, comments: “We focused mainly on helping the architect produce the desired design results. It was all about finding the right luminaire, in a certain product quality and longevity, that also gave the right feeling in terms of aesthetics.” F3 architects’ concept asked for a modern design approach with an urban, industrial feel that included high ceilings, exposed services, brickwork and much more.

“Especially in the refurbishment part of the project, the overall look became a lot more edgy”, Rachel McMurray continues. “Our luminaires reflected that urban, funky look – we used black coatings, opaque optic elements and a completely bespoke, original installation.”

Different luminaires reflect different kinds of activities 

“Our luminaires create a nice variety for the players,” says Rachel McMurray. “Each area has its specific look and provides a different inspiration.”

All the luminaires throughout the gym and activation area are ball-proof. The gymnasium has been built completely new and features SLOTLIGHT light lines in many different lengths. The architects played with the linear look to give the room a dynamic, urban design. The unique environment is designed to spur the athletes – both professional and junior – on to an even greater performance.

Restaurant lighting promotes social exchange

To illuminate food and drinks in the best possible way and enhance the modern, edgy design of the restaurant area, Zumtobel opted for MICROS and DIAMO luminaires. MICROS downlights in black feature modern reflector technology and a round shape that encourages social exchange. Various beam angles combined with excellent glare control make MICROS perfectly adaptable to general lighting tasks in every hospitality area. DIAMO spotlights complement the lighting concept by creating powerful accents in brilliant lighting quality and RESCLITE PRO as well as ARTSIGN both ensure the athletes’ safety in an emergency.

Office lighting activates human biorhythm

For best working conditions in the office areas, Zumtobel chose MELLOW LIGHT. With its dynamic lighting characteristics, it is modelled on daylight and has a particularly activating effect on the human biorhythm. MELLOW LIGHT can also help to create different moods in the room and is an ideal solution for computer work and VDU work because of its effective glare control. With its minimalist appearance, MELLOW LIGHT blends seamlessly into the surrounding architecture.

Academy corridors are lit by PANOS infinity LED circular downlights. RESCLITE PRO and ARTSIGN provide best-in-class emergency lighting throughout all the walkways.

Excellent teamwork for an elite sports facility

The diverse and complex project with its various applications has been made possible by outstanding teamwork and experienced partners: “From concept to installation: Each stage in the project is critical”, says Rachel McMurray. “We received fantastic support from all our partners, so we were able to accommodate the many changes in planning with ease.”

The successful partnership continues

Zumtobel are already working on a follow-up project for Tottenham Hotspur, with a state-of-the-art lighting solution for the extended Media Centre.

TRILUX ILLUMINATES 2 MORE LONDON: DELIVERING A PREMIUM GRADE CAT A LIGHTING FIT-OUT

As London’s skyline evolves, 2 More London is a space where innovation meets inspiration, powered by TRILUX lighting excellence.

In the bustling heart of London’s South Bank, amidst the iconic skyline between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, lies 2 More London—a contemporary hub for office space. Recently revitalised, the third floor of this landmark underwent a CAT A fit-out, setting new workplace design and sustainability standards. TRILUX, renowned for its technical lighting expertise, played a pivotal role in illuminating this prestigious project.

The Vision: Clean lines to blend in, quality to stand out

As a hub for business and creativity, 2 More London demanded a lighting solution that not only met the highest efficiency standards but also didn’t disappoint aesthetically. Led by the consultancy Chapman BDSP, the project aimed to create a workspace that attracts the highest-quality tenants, showcasing the architectural aesthetic against the stunning London backdrop.

The Challenge: Transforming Space with Precision

According to the latest figures published by Savills, 91 per cent of all newly leased space in the City of London for the year to June 23 was grade-A compared with a 67 per cent long-term average pre-pandemic.

*Investor Chronicle September 2022

Here, we have 14,362 square feet of office space encased in floor-to-ceiling glazing; the project called for a high-quality lighting solution with minimal glare while maintaining consistency and energy efficiency. TRILUX rose to the challenge, working closely with Paul Earl Limited to implement their cutting-edge lighting products.

The Solution: TRILUX Lighting Excellence

TRILUX’s commitment to innovation and sustainability shone through in the selection of products. The Inperla Ligra Plus LED downlight, renowned for its easy-mounting and flexible design, was seamlessly integrated into existing ceiling cutouts. Sonnos LED downlights, provided exceptional quality light —a perfect fit for refurbishment requirements.

Notably, over 500 metres of bespoke LED light channel was the star of the show in the office space. This solution illuminated the vast expanse of office space, delivering both functionality and style.

The luminaires are highly recyclable, and the LED light channel can be reconfigured for specific tenants’ requirements and can be fully refurbished and reused in the future, reducing the carbon impact.

Luke Facer, Electrical Project Manager, Paul Earl Limited, says,

“Working on the Cat A at 2 More London was really exciting in such a sought-after location with outstanding views of the City and Tower Bridge from the 3rd floor; working with TRILUX was a pleasure, with exceptional communication from Vick and Gary, who were always on the phone to answer any queries or send any information that was requested by myself. The TRILUX light fittings themselves were of A1 quality and easy to assemble on-site with a sleek finish that really set off the hanging rafts that they were installed into.”

In a market where Grade A spaces redefine workplace standards, 2 More London strives for more: More freedom. More flexibility. More capability. More creativity. TRILUX’s lighting design and technology expertise played a vital role in shaping the future of the workspace —a fusion of efficiency, creativity, and sustainability.

TRILUX’s Luceo Slim Steals the Spotlight at Pernod Ricard’s Grand Marseille Opening

TRILUX, a global leader in lighting solutions, is thrilled to announce its pivotal role in illuminating Pernod Ricard’s new headquarters at the historic Marseille Docks. The French spirits Group has recently relocated its corporate hub to the cultural and architectural masterpiece, showcasing an inspiring fusion of historical charm and modern technology.

Encompassing 8,000 square meters of office space within the iconic Marseille Docks, Pernod Ricard’s new facility is illuminated with TRILUX’s bespoke Luceo Slim LED pendant lights in sleek black. The state-of-the-art lighting seamlessly integrates with the historic ambience of the docks, creating a unique atmosphere throughout the building.

The Marseille Docks, built between 1858 and 1864, underwent extensive renovations in the 1990s, resulting in a captivating blend of historical and contemporary elements. Pernod Ricard, following the merger of Pernod and Ricard in 2020, strategically selected the Marseille Docks as the distinguished location for its corporate headquarters.

TRILUX’s Luceo Slim, with its large glare-free light emission surface and attractive indirect component, adds a breath of fresh air to the space. Cyril Tosello, Sales Manager TRILUX France, notes, “The focus on a single lighting solution brings harmony and homogeneity to all rooms, creating a unique atmosphere in the offices, the atrium, and the refectory.”

The lighting design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also incorporates sustainability features. The luminaires are intelligently networked with the LiveLink light management system and equipped with sensors for presence and daylight detection, ensuring optimal energy efficiency.

In a noteworthy twist, the credit for the innovative lighting selection goes to the docks’ real estate owner. Impressed by TRILUX’s products’ performance in another dock building, including Luceo Slim, Solvan Flow, and LiveLink, the owner decided to replicate the successful model in the Dock 10.7 building.

“The objective was to create optimal conditions and an attractive atmosphere for future tenants through high-quality and energy-efficient lighting. Mission accomplished,” says Tosello.

Pernod Ricard expresses satisfaction with the result, marking the success of this collaborative lighting project. As TRILUX continues to illuminate spaces with innovation, the company looks forward to more ventures and creating lighting solutions that leave a lasting impact.

Zumtobel together with its sister brand Thorn, both lighting brands of the Zumtobel Group, collaborated with Allford Hall Monaghan Morris Architects (AHMM) and Thornton Reynolds Building Services Consultants, to provide a state-of-the-art lighting solution for the transformation of Arthur Stanley House (ASH) in Fitzrovia. This landmark project combines the charm of the 1960s with cutting-edge post-Covid technology, creating a world-class office building that sets new standards in sustainability and flexibility.

 

Fitzrovia, a vibrant neighbourhood in central London, welcomes its first world-class office building with the refurbishment and extension of Arthur Stanley House. Originally designed by TP Bennett Architects, this 52,000-square-foot office block, nestled within the Charlotte Street conservation area, has undergone a remarkable transformation led by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris Architects (AHMM) and Thornton Reynolds Building Services Consultants. A combination of Zumtobel and Thorn lighting solutions ensured flexibility for the incoming tenant fit-outs while maintaining high energy efficiency and sustainability.

Geraint Hayes, Senior Architect at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris explains,

“The reinvention of Arthur Stanley House plays on a balance of new meets retained. Our approach was based on stripping back the found condition to expose and celebrate the original brick, concrete and terracotta hollow pot soffits. Therefore, anything added to the building as part of the refurbishment needed to be sympathetic to what is a very honest design. Alongside the look and feel, the detail of the lighting system was an important factor as we needed a product that was elegant with minimal sightlines to avoid any clutter to the characterful terracotta soffits.”

Meeting the Challenge

Geraint continues,

“A high-quality lighting system was imperative to the success of the office floors plates to ensure the right balance between raw nineteen sixties concrete and new construction.   Therefore, Zumtobel’s TECTON C was specified for its ultra slim profile and ‘plug and play’ functionality. The track is available in a range of lengths which offers full flexibility when space planning non uniform floor plates.”

To meet the demanding UGR requirements, the Zumtobel Group team delved into the details, conducting thorough investigations of the floor finishes for the space. It was discovered that the floor had a higher than ‘normal’ reflectance; this was resolved through the use of Zumtobel’s TECTON C Wide Beam which played a vital role in achieving the desired lighting conditions.

Overcoming these hurdles through careful analysis and collaboration, the Zumtobel Group successfully provided an exceptional lighting solution that met the project’s stringent requirements and aligned with the architect’s vision.

Flexible and Sustainable Lighting

As well as different variants of the TECTON range, Zumtobel’s SLOTLIGHT infinity, TUBILUX Slim, PERLUCE, LINCOR, ONDARIA, VIVO, and PANOS infinity pendants, recessed and surface-mounted options, offered a versatile lighting system. Zumtobel’s RESCLITE PRO emergency lighting and PURESIGN exit signs help guide people in the event of an emergency. Thorn’s Aquaforce Pro, Forceled, and Glacier LED luminaires further enhance the lighting experience. The complete system is controlled via Zumtobel’s LITECOM controls complete with their eBOX central emergency lighting system.

Steve Reynolds, Director at Thornton Reynolds, shares insights about the lighting objectives, Zumtobel’s products, and their collaboration experience, stating,

“Our objective for the lighting in Arthur Stanley House was to achieve a modern and efficient office lighting installation. We wanted to create an environment that promotes productivity and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal. The TECTON luminaires, fixed to the soffit, perfectly achieved our target. Their innovative design and performance capabilities ensured a high-quality lighting installation that met our expectations.”

Creating a Striking Ambiance

The luminaires have added a touch of elegance and functionality to the interior spaces. With carefully planned lighting placements, Arthur Stanley House boasts captivating visual effects that enhance productivity, comfort, and well-being.

Geraint comments,

“Zumtobel Group’s early engagement provided design and technical advice which proved to be immensely important in delivering our vision for ASH. This collaboration allowed us as architects to provide our client with a finished building that has very little, if any, change from the original design.”

Steve adds,

“We found Zumtobel Group to be very helpful throughout the project. Their team demonstrated excellent commercial alignment, ensuring a seamless process from initial discussions to finalising the contractor order. The collaborative approach and support from the Group made the project execution smooth and efficient.”

This collaboration has not only revitalised Arthur Stanley House to BREAAM excellence but has also set a new benchmark for lighting excellence in the heart of Fitzrovia. The fusion of timeless design, state-of-the-art technology, and sustainability has transformed this iconic building into a beacon of inspiration for the future of office spaces.

TRILUX Lights Mrówka Greenhouse, Poland’s Largest Garden Centre, with Innovative LIVELINK System

In April 2023, Mrówka Greenhouse, the flagship garden centre of the esteemed Mrówka PSB DIY chain, opened its doors in Międzyrzecz, Poland, showcasing a cutting-edge lighting design by TRILUX. The expansive 1,200 sqm Dutch greenhouse, nestled under a glazed roof, boasts an impressive display of traditional and collectable plants alongside the existing 2,500 sqm of retail space. Wojciech Bezak, owner of Mrówka Greenhouse, describes it as the “most representative and flagship” facility in the Lubuskie region.

“We took inspiration from Western countries, where modern, spacious greenhouses are standard. The vision for Mrówka Greenhouse was realised thanks to the solutions proposed by TRILUX,” comments Bezak.

Recognising the challenge of maintaining optimal lighting for live plants, especially during the limited sunlight hours, TRILUX implemented the LIVELINK SYSTEM. This intelligent system, managed easily from a smartphone, uses sunlight intensity sensors to automate lighting, ensuring artificial light activates only when natural sunlight is insufficient. This not only adjusts to the length of the day but also adapts to changing weather conditions.

Wojciech Bezak highlights the simplicity and efficiency of the LIVELINK system, stating,

“Managing the LIVELINK system is very easy. It is also an excellent way to save on lighting costs. Its level adjusts itself according to daylight intensity, ensuring the facility is well-lit at all times, and artificial lighting works only when needed.”

Divided into four zones—decorations, plants, tools, and seasonal products—the Mrówka Greenhouse Garden Center benefits from TRILUX’s tailored lighting design. Piotr Orlowski, Retail Manager at TRILUX Poland, explains,

“Our goal was to adjust the luminaires and the colour of the light to best display products in each zone.”

Owner Wojciech Bezak concludes,

“We knew that lighting would play a key role in customers’ perception of our facility. It was worth giving a free hand to TRILUX designers, and as a result, we have a facility we are really proud of.”

TRILUX, a leading lighting solutions provider, is proud to announce its successful collaboration with Kromwijk Elektrotechniek to provide a WELL and BREEAM certified lighting and management scheme for the newest distribution centre of fashion brand Scotch & Soda in Hoofddorp, Netherlands.

The new distribution centre has 16 loading docks, a large office, and a car park for 100 cars under the building. In line with the BREEAM and WELL guidelines, TRILUX provided all the lighting solutions for the distribution hall, the offices, the parking garage, and the building surrounds.

To ensure high sustainability and achieve WELL and BREEAM certification, the lighting scheme exceeded the standard requirements for workplace lighting. TRILUX’s experts and project leaders supported the installer in creating a lighting design to meet the end client’s wishes and needs.

Raymond van Dijken, the Sales Manager at TRILUX Benelux, highlighted the importance of the close partnership with Kromwijk Elektrotechniek. “From the start, we have worked with Kromwijk to jointly get a clear picture of the end customer’s wishes. With this information, we went to the drawing board and completely worked out the lighting concept. We have installed our highly efficient light line system E-LINE NEXT in the hall, the robust waterproof solution ARAGON FIT in the parking garage, the JOVIE in the outdoor areas and various functional and design luminaires in the offices and circulation areas.”

The TRILUX LIVELINK Premium light management system, links all the luminaires in an intelligent system to ensure maximum energy savings and to maintain flexibility during operation. For example, the lighting specialist has exceeded the requirements with higher-performing luminaires that deliver more lux to the work surface than necessary. Raymond said,

“we have dimmed these luminaires using LiveLink to extend their lifespan.”

He continues, “We are pleased to have successfully completed this project and shown great cooperation between the installer and end customer. Despite the turbulent market, everything was delivered on time, and the installer and end-user are very satisfied with the new building.”
