Lighting up the office keeps staff comfortable
June 1st 2008

Luminaires from Riegens Lighting have improved the visual environment for people employed in Tube Lines's control room at West Ferry Circus. Feedback from employees suggested that the overall visual environment was poor for VDU screen work and that more control would be beneficial.

Tube Lines is a private company responsible for the maintenance, renewal and upgrade of the infrastructure of three of Londons busiest tube lines; the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines.

Riegens was invited to produce a sample luminaire to fit into a 750mm ceiling grid and its Codos Glide luminaire fitted the bill. Riegens 600cm x 600cm Codos Glide was supplied in an SAS 750 x 750 ceiling tile, along with 2 x 36W TCL 1 – 10V dimmable lamps and a 5 year guarantee.

For the high ceiling in the control room, Codos Glide luminaires were installed on gondolas and can be recessed or lowered in line with requirements and to simplify maintenance.

"I am very pleased with the overall appearance of the luminaires, which provide a comfortable visual environment and can now easily be controlled by the staff", comments Mike Cochran, site supervisor with Norland, the maintenance arm of Tube Lines.
