Leading air distribution system provider TROX UK has extended the lighting options on its architecturally pleasing  multi-service chilled beam (MSCB) range by adding a new high efficiency lighting option.

The lighting system was developed specifically for TROX by a market leading lighting company to bring high-efficiency lens design to the chilled beam market.  It provides glare-free lighting with low energy consumption whilst providing a lit ceiling in accordance with CIBSE Lighting Guide LG7.  The special satin effect micro-prism lens optic hides any view of the lamp and gives a soft uniform light distribution for a pleasingly lit working environment.

The whole luminaire is designed to maximise light output, utilising lenses on both the underside and top to enclose the lamp to allow it to reach optimum thermal operating conditions.  The light output is therefore unaffected by any discharge air movement from the MSCB.

In conjunction with this new luminaire range a TCP/IP lighting management system (Luxlink; ‘Ethernet2Dali’) can be provided that links together Dali addressable control gear and Dali addressable emergency inverters via Ethernet gateways.  The interconnecting cabling is also pre-wired to provide a complete lighting, controls and cabling package.

Nick Tavare, managing director at Luxonic, said:  “We have a close working relationship with TROX having worked together on a range of high profile projects.  The sophisticated production control process delivers fully tested ‘beam-sets’ from our factory to TROX, ensuring a fault-free installation for the client.”

The multi service chilled beam flexibility in design is enhanced by the fact that it is constructed from an architectural extruded aluminium sections which interlock to provide an infinite range of shapes and apertures.  With this flexibility virtually all lighting systems can easily be incorporated into the chilled beam.
