Updated lighting for Surrey County Council uses Whitecroft Cascade fittings

Refurbishment of Surrey County Council’s Quadrant Court offices in Woking has included the replacement of Cat 2 luminaires with a range of fittings from Whitecroft Lighting. They include specially modified versions of Cascade luminaires to meet the needs of the project. This 4-storey block comprises 5400 m2 of office space. The work involved stripping out the building and reconfiguring it to new layouts for open-plan offices, meeting rooms, catering and break-out areas. Around 1300 Cascade luminaires were used. They were modified to accommodate two 14 W lamps. These fittings meet the brightness limits of LG3 2001 while injecting life into the ceiling plane and maintaining a neat ceiling line. Their advanced optics minimises the number of fittings required to achieve the desired light distribution. Lighting and other M&E services were designed by FaberMaunsell, whose Martin Valentine explains, ‘The Cascade luminaires give a nice glow with controlled brightness on the ceiling. This project has been put forward for the “Best out of city office development” award.’
