Lighting in Design May-June 2015

33 / 40

The American International School of Johannesburg
(AISJ) Aquatics Centre has won architectural awards
in South Africa and the United States and BEKA
Schréder was awarded the task of illuminating this
outstanding aquatic facility.
As a preferred lighting solutions provider, the
company worked alongside Rawlins Wales & Part-
ners and Grosskopff Lombart Huyberechts and
Associates to provide and implement a successful
lighting design for the project, which required a
lighting solution where ease of maintenance and ac-
cess to the luminaires were prime criteria.This was
successfully achieved whilst providing the correct
lighting levels and taking into account a solution that
would suit the environment aesthetically.The robust
BEKAMAX floodlight range mounted on specially
manufactured brackets was used for this purpose.
Minimising its ecological footprint is a priority for
BEKA Schréder on any installation. At the forefront
of the major driving force for the switch to LED light-
ing, the company is committed to offering lighting
solutions that drastically reduce energy consump-
tion. By combining the best of LED technology
with a wide range of control systems, solutions
offer energy savings of up to 85% and reduce the
payback time on
new installations.
‘Commitment
to tomorrow by
being sustainable
today’ is an ethos
BEKA Schréder
believes is shared
by many of its cli-
ents and the com-
pany is confident
that this philosophy will dictate the specification of
lighting solutions from here on. And, the process
is ongoing and fast moving. For example, BEKA
Schréder can already offer an LED solution on the
aquatic application that would save 25% more
energy by replacing the existing luminaires with
the new and highly efficient OMNIstar modular
LED floodlight range. The long term maintenance
reduction achieved by using LED technology, and
the possibility of light controls would mean further
energy savings.
