Lighting in Design August-September 2015

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.
