Hammond. “By not investing in the best product
upfront, clients inevitably spend more money in
maintenance, replacement and electricity costs. It
is up to them to decide which option works best
for them.”
The River Club selected the first design, which
featured the highest specification products.
A range of Eurolux products were used to cre-
ate the right light levels and ambience around the
club, including some Aeon Lighting Technology
(ALT) products of which Eurolux is the sole local
importer.The ALT 92Wfloodlight (ES157) was used
to illuminate the entrance, surrounding parking
areas, as well as the putting and chipping greens.
“The River Club required powerful, bright lighting
in robust designs in these areas, which is exactly
what the ALT 92W floodlight (FS157) gives them,”
says Shaun Bouchier, director at Eurolux. He adds
that effective heat dissipation, colour stability and
a long lifespan made the Eurolux 25 W ALT LED
floodlights (FS154) the ideal choice for creating
focus points around the building.
Hammond says that sustainability is an impor-
tant objective in all his company’s designs. “In the
case of LED products, clients want merchandise
that lives up to its claimed lifespan and is backed by
a good product warranty. Aeon LightingTechnology
products have a three year warranty and in many
cases a five year warranty, which is also backed
by an international US $2 million product liability
insurance cover. In addition, Eurolux offers its own
product liability insurance cover which is valued at
R100 million. Such guarantees help to reassure
customers and add confidence – an important
factor in a large scale installation such as the River
Club – in the product.”
The project was recently completed and Shaw
said that working with the Eurolux team had re-
sulted in the correct lighting being installed with
all products delivering the promised functionality.
