Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), London

EPS Lighting was commissioned to design a flexible lighting solution for the institutes three galleries. The Technical Director for EPS Lighting Russell Vandstone commented that they worked with the architects to find a clean, modern and minimalist solution to meet the design brief.

• Making the light levels meet requirement was most important, but the art was a vital consideration.
• The design team had to ensure any light directed onto artwork would not have any harmful UV effects, degrading the work over time.
• White 4000K Linear LED luminaires were the ideal solution to meet those objectives.
• The clever and flexible part is all in the custom control solution and interface using a Pharos TPC and various RIO D’s which were built to enable the circulation area lights that were to be left on full power.
• With a site-wide DALI control network that resides on their local LAN (Local Area Network), the Pharos RIO Ds helped to communicate and control the lighting solution. This also has a 24/7/365 link into EPS Lighting’s data centre for remote access, assistance with programming and upgrades with a guaranteed SLA (service level agreement) for remote management and changes if and when required.
