TWEED VALLEY HOSPITAL
Our approach Engineering elegance: custom luminaires meet cultural meaning Our approach to lighting Frances Belle Parker’s artwork needed innovative thinking. It needed precision engineering. We collaborated with the contractor to go over the light requirements, positioning and materials. We needed to understand the practical requirements, deciding on backlighting rather than front. The strategy, while unusual to light up art from behind, ended up being the ideal situation in the outdoor environment.
02. Daylight harvesting for seamless operation
Healthcare facilities operate around the clock. We integrated advanced daylight harvesting technology into the lighting system. This innovative approach automatically adjusts the luminaire output based on ambient light conditions. The system gradually increases lighting as natural light fades. This creates a seamless transition without sudden changes that could be jarring for patients and families. Our daylight harvesting solution represents our commitment to energy efficiency. The intelligent sensors monitor ambient light levels and adjust the LED output accordingly. This significantly reduces energy consumption and extends the life of the lighting system.
01. Precision analysis for perfect lighting
The first step was to determine the exact lighting angles needed. This would showcase each element of Parker’s installation. Our engineers conducted an analysis and established the optimal positioning for the luminaires. To support the artwork’s varied textures and flowing forms needed different lighting approaches. Our team had to calculate mounting locations and tilt angles. These would eliminate harsh shadows and reduce glare. They would emphasise each panel and not block the front of the work. This careful process showed our attention to detail and technical expertise. We used modern technology and proven methods. This led to the solution of custom uplight luminaires with and adjustable tilt-gimbal. These could be fine-tuned during installation.

CLIENT: TWEED VALLEY PROJECT: PUBLIC SPACE ARTWORK ILLUMINATION LUMINAIRE TYPE: PILLAR SURFACE UPLIGHT / GIMBAL
The coastal location of Tweed Valley Hospital presented significant environmental challenges. These demanded robust materials and engineering solutions. Our luminaires feature Anthracite outdoor corrosive resistance technology. This provides exceptional protection against salt air, moisture and temperature variations. All of which are common in the Tweed-Byron region. This advanced coating system ensures long- term performance. It maintains the luminaires’ appearance despite exposure to harsh outdoor conditions. These perform reliably over extended periods and are perfect for external environments. Our rigorous specifications process ensured every component met the demanding requirements.
