Lighting in Design Q1 2019

Feature lighting RLS was asked to create a suspended fitting with a bi-directional light source that would create an attrac- tive feature on the ceiling and provide the required functional light output on the floor. The fitting is cylindrical and suspended at three points and the internal wall of the cylinder had to be gold in colour. “This was a truly unique fitting, locally designed and custom manufactured specifically for the client’s requirements,” says Byron Lottering, marketing coordinator at RLS. As the MARC has multiple entrances and stair- ways, a special request was made for a linear light source that mimicked the right angles of the stairways, and portrayed a sense of direction, thus the Linear Inca was supplied. The upper level stairway and escalator landings are supplied with custom Jura 1002 24W36°, track mounted in a recessed cavity in the ceiling, while the lower level and basement parking landings feature Nexio recessed downlights at 24Wwith a 50° beam. Within the main shopping mall, stairways between various levels feature recessed Floren 30 W fittings. Here the architect wanted to use a different profile; the Inca has a recessed diffuser – offering lower glare – and its click-in system makes it easy to work with. The retail space itself, where RLS worked closely with Pamboukian lightdesign, provides shoppers who live and work in the nearby Sandton area with conve- nient shopping, restaurants and a gym.The entrances to the mall are lined with the Argo post top from RLS, leading from the street towards the entrance overhang. The overhang is highlighted by suspended Aldos up to 4.2 m with an ‘up and down’ light source. “The project also has a glass roof with support beams that required a high output fitting that would blend seamlessly into the design,” says Lottering. To meet this requirement, the Floren 30W 1500 lm was supplied. It is also recessed into wooden slatted ceil- ings throughout. Elsewhere, recessed into the ceiling edges above the interior passage and walkways is an adapted black 24W Jura 1002 track light. Linear mini fittings in RGB create ambience in the restroom pas- sages within the mall, while the parking and basement levels are lined with Shuttle wall mounted fittings. Externally, the landscape surrounding the precinct features numerous fittings in different applications, including the Shuttle trunion mounted 18 W fitting on an 11 m pole, as well as in all planters throughout the building. Miso recessed wall lights provide low level lighting on the stairways and low level boundary walls, whilst the 16 W Malta Bollard plinth mounted at a height of 700 mm in all planter and lawn terraces provides pathway lighting. “For key amenity lighting throughout all landscape areas at the MARC, we used the Argo Post top 54 W,” concludes Lottering.
