Lighting in Design November-December 2016

Smart lighting solution BEKA Schréder supplied an holistic exterior and interior lighting solution for the recently opened St Elizabeth Hospital Resource Centre in Lusikisiki in the Eastern Cape. Built by the Eastern Cape Department of Health in collaboration with Walter Sisulu University, the centre has a multi-purpose function: It serves as a training centre for medical students and offers library, conference and video conferencing facili- ties. The fifth resource centre in the province, it is also available to the community for conferences, meetings, workshops and community outreach programmes. BEKA Schréder’s locally designed and manufac- tured LEDlume-midi street light luminaire illumi- nates the parking area to provide effective lighting for safety and comfort. The LEDpost, an LED bol- lard, lights up the walkway in a stylish and efficient way. The entrance of the building is enhanced by the LEDduo up- and downlighter, and the Accento in-ground uplighter and the exterior of the building is accented by the Series 21 bulkhead.

The Resource Centre is a Smart building. There are no light switches for the interior lighting instal- lation. The lights are turned on by motion sensors, and all lights can be dimmed remotely. Various interior luminaires illuminate the Resource Centre, amongst them the DARI, an energy efficient LED ceiling panel that ensures maximum visual comfort and even distribution of light. The BEKAQUAD and BEKA CUBO downlights ensure an even lighting level in the conference facilities while BEKARONDO downlights and Series 70 bulkheads provide elegant lighting in the building amenities. This holistic solution is believed to be the most advanced lighting installation by far in any hospital precinct in the Eastern Cape. BEKA Schréder locally develops and manufac- tures LED lighting products, designed and suitable for local conditions.
