LIGHTING A LUXURY CAR SHOWROOM

A t the new flagship Platinum Wheels showroom in Fourways, Jo- hannesburg, Opple Lighting SA has ensured that the company’s stock – premium luxury cars such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Por- sche and McLaren – is displayed in the best possible light. Platinum Wheels specialises in all brands and models, including new vehicles and high quality used vehicles, and when the company embarked on creating a class leading showroom, it contacted Opple to assist with a lighting solution. Willem Venter, Development Director at Opple Lighting SA, says of the project, “The execution of the design was well received by the owner of Platinum Wheels. The lighting design was done by MTY Distributors (Opple SA’s distributor for the KZN, Gauteng, Limpopo, North West and Mpumulanga region), and the challenge was to have even light distribution in the general area of the showroom as the cars are moved on a regular basis. Opple’s HPB lamps, LED Utility Downlighters and LED

Panels were used on this project.” The installation was done by Abie from We Sell Lights. A spectacular launch for the showroom was held at the beginning of September where Opple’s lighting solution ensured that the stars of the show could be appreciated by all in attendance. Opple is a leading integrated lighting manufacturer headquartered in Shanghai, China, with two manufacturing centres in Wujiang, Jiangsu Province and Zhongshan, Guangdong Province. The company has significantly expanded its portfolio to include a vast array of products and services, ranging from LED and traditional lighting, lamps, and ceiling fixtures to electrical appliances. With over 800 patent applications, it has an R&D team of hundreds of experts and senior engineers and a workforce of over 6 000 employees.
