ERCO top-flight durable downlights specially designed for Changi Airport’s ambitious expansion

ERCO’s Compar linear downlights have played a central role in the renewal and expansion of Terminal 2 at Singapore’s Changi Airport. The ambitious project has added 15,500 square metres to the terminal building and increased the airport’s capacity by five million passengers a Year to 90 million.

Altogether, around 5500 Compar fittings were installed in key areas providing economical ambient lighting for the departure and arrival halls, baggage claim belts and transit halls. The airport’s signature garden theme is very evident in the contemporary design concept for T2, not only with lush planting and nature-inspired elements – such as a 14m tall and 17m wide digital waterfall – but with extensive use of natural materials for wall cladding and flooring. The ‘green’ emphasis is not just literal. Changi Airport Group has committed to zero carbon growth until 2030, with absolute emissions capped at 2018 levels.

Customised to cut waste

Together with the many requirements of such a complex public environment, sustainability was therefore a key factor for the lighting system. Lighting designer Philippe Almon of PhA Concepteurs lumiere was keen to eliminate any unnecessary usage of material. The low energy lighting solution therefore comprised highly efficient LED Compar downlights specially modified for the project. Normally recessed, the Compar linear fitting comes with a mounting trim and a clip for easy installation. PhA wanted to reduce material use by removing the trim, which meant devising a new way of attaching it to the ceiling.

ERCO designers came up with the idea of punching into the heat sink to accommodate the hanging system, creating a hook to accommodate the suspended structure. This was done in such a way that it didn’t adversely affect the heat management of the fitting, retained the integrity of the manufacturing guarantee and still met the requirement for easy and fast installation. The suspended ceiling element features carefully positioned linear slots that allow the fitting to sit flush with the surface, seamlessly integrated.

Small but powerful

The airport environment involves large spaces and soaring ceilings which require high light levels and even illumination. Balanced with this is the need for both visual and psychological comfort – a glare-free, high quality and calming light. The advantage of the Compar downlight is that while it is a powerful source for high-volume spaces, it is small and discreet, perfectly merging with the architecture. Featuring an anti-dazzle louvre which can be coated in a variety of finishes, it remains an almost invisible light source from most angles. Not only did the luminaires provide double the target light levels on the floor surface but it was achieved with fewer fittings and less wattage than comparable solutions.

Future maintenance and durability of luminaires is a crucial consideration in an airport environment, with 24/7 operation, heavily trafficked spaces and difficult-to-access ceilings. Compar downlights, like ERCO luminaires generally, are technically of a very high standard, designed and manufactured to last for decades. This dramatically reduces the need for maintenance, saving operating costs. ERCO’s focus is on long-life luminaires that offer sustainable lighting solutions. With in-house designed and manufactured optics, electronics and heat management, a timeless design and application-oriented light distributions, the Compar downlight incorporates all aspects of the company’s ethos of ‘lighting durability’.

Special support for individual product solutions

Compar comes with a choice of distributions (from 15° spot to 60° x 80° oval wide flood and wallwash) and extensive options for the individualisation of series products. With ‘ERCO individual’, the company also supports the development of sophisticated special luminaires, according to customers’ needs.

The world’s most awarded airport, Changi links Singapore to some 140 cities globally, with over 100 airlines operating more than 6000 weekly flights. The expansion scheme, which took more than three years, also supported additional infrastructure, provided new systems and increased retail and F&B offerings. ‘We hope T2 will set a new benchmark for customer service and delight among airports,’ said Tan Lye Teck, CAG’s programme director for the Terminal 2 Expansion Project.

For a brand that has perfected the art of luxury hospitality, travellers should look no further than the brand-new Ritz-Carlton Amman, setting the standard in elegance as a unique Middle Eastern destination for leisure and business guests. Home to over 200 guest rooms, a spa, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a wide range of dining venues, the Ritz-Carlton Amman Hotel offers guests unrivalled luxury.

Standing next to the hotel is The Residences, bringing Ritz-Carlton’s world-famous service to an exquisite residential community unlike any other in the region. Residents can enjoy luxury from the sanctuary of their private homes, with access to all the tower’s amenities, including a cinema, gaming room, indoor pool and fitness centre, and beauty salon.

The design of the two towers infuses the modern elegance of cosmopolitan Amman with inspiration from Jordan’s culture and design, adding a stunning addition to the backdrop of the city’s skyline and offering stunning scenic views of Amman.

The aim of the lighting design was to enhance the elegant interiors with sleek and sophisticated luminaires. Lighting designers MBLD specified Lucent Lighting’s premium solutions for the hotel and Residences, using a variety of fixtures including downlights, inground lights and wall lights throughout guest rooms, public spaces and F&B areas.

Guest rooms are complete with crisp white interiors, with discreet downlights subtly illuminating the walls and decadent décor for a clean overall finish. Opulent marble bathrooms are backlit with fresh white lighting for a rejuvenating experience.

Decadent dining is set with a warm glow to introduce an intimate ambience for diners overlooking the city lights. Sophisticated lighting layers the darker wooden décor and plush seating of the meeting and lounge rooms, while the bar is backlit with gold to illuminate the dazzling display of bottles.

Lucent MiniTRIM downlights enhance the elegance of The Residences, oozing luxury and opulence for residents of these premium homes. The lighting acts as a key part of the overall design, blending seamlessly into the interiors while the effect it creates can be seen. The layers of thoughtful lighting bring to life colours and textures, spotlighting patterned tiles and enriching the plush materials of the décor.

Rob Honeywill, Design Director at MBLD said: “Lucent Lighting’s range of luminaires perfectly complemented the lighting design we created to illuminate the extravagant interior design of the hotel and Residences. Each luminaire blended seamlessly into the overall design while meeting the distinct atmosphere and requirements for each space. The premium lighting solutions perfectly matched the aesthetic of this prestigious project, enhancing the guest experience and providing the quality expected by the Ritz-Carlton.”

Deutsches Museum is Europe’s largest indoor museum for technology and natural sciences; with around one million visitors a year, it is also Germany’s most visited museum. The main building on Munich’s Museum Island has been undergoing extensive renovation for several years. This also includes a new lighting concept that connects all areas. On some 20,000 square metres in the recently opened Phase 1, visitors can now explore 19 newly designed exhibition areas on a variety of topics. ERCO LED spotlights showcase the diverse and impressive exhibits within the varied architecture.

The stated goal of the museum, which opened in Munich in 1925, is to present scientific and technical knowledge to interested laypersons in an understandable and lively manner. It illustrates the historical development of science and technology and their significance for technical and societal advancement through selected examples. After almost a hundred years, Deutsches Museum was in urgent need of renovation; among other issues, fire protection, escape routes and air conditioning were outdated.

By 2028, the entire building is to be made fit for the future. The first construction phase, encompassing half of the collection building, has now been completed. All rooms in this part of the building have been completely renovated, and all exhibitions within have been partly renewed, partly newly created, and adapted to today’s requirements. This also includes a contemporary, energy-efficient lighting concept with a formally uniform appearance, different light distributions and lumen packages with the same housing and design, excellent colour rendering and DALI capability. “The old lighting had aged”, explains lighting designer Michael Schmidt. “Since Deutsches Museum has continuously grown over decades, each exhibition area was equipped with lighting fixtures that corresponded to the technical standards of their respective times.” The lighting systems were only modernised sporadically; the museum operation had to keep a large number of replacement luminaires and lamps on hand in case of luminaire failures.

An overarching lighting concept unifies the multitude of different spatial situations and exhibition concepts.
From agriculture to aerospace, from health to robotics, from electronics to atomic physics: the themes of the individual exhibition areas within this mammoth museum are not only very diverse; the rooms themselves could hardly be more different from each other. There are smaller and larger rooms, low and extremely high rooms with ceiling heights ranging from around three to nine metres, some with sloping ceilings or side niches, rooms with high natural light exposure, and those with no natural light at all. Additionally, various planning offices have developed individual exhibition concepts for the different thematic areas.

How do you summarise this (interior) architectural diversity with a suitable lighting solution? “With a consistent lighting concept”, says lighting designer Prof. Michael Schmidt succinctly. “And with the consistent choice of a particularly versatile LED spotlight from ERCO that provides all the necessary light distributions and illumination levels in a uniform design.” The planning is based on track lighting in a support structure, which was designed like a grid for the entire building and aligns with the architecture. This lighting infrastructure accommodates all functions – general lighting with downlights for museum operations, setup, cleaning and security lighting – as well as the actual exhibition lighting. “Due to the high requirements for the basic lighting, it made sense to use the existing structures for the power tracks,” says the designer. “The support structure is integrated into the building depending on the interior architecture and coordinated with the building services.”

Optec from ERCO: An economical LED spotlight family with a huge bandwidth and high flexibility
Around 1500 Optec spotlights from ERCO were installed in this regular grid of support tracks with integrated track lighting, some recessed into the ceiling but mostly suspended at a height of about 3.5 to four metres. Different wattages were used for various room heights and daylight situations, with some in warm white (3000K) and others in neutral white (4000K) – depending on the curators’ preferences for the individual exhibitions. Thanks to interchangeable Spherolit lenses, different exhibits such as engines, machines or joints can be optimally illuminated. “Optec from ERCO is a product range that impresses with its high flexibility and versatility, all at a reasonable price,” says the lighting designer.

After the installation of all the lights, he personally took charge of positioning each spotlight on-site and optimally aligning them. “In areas with abundant daylight, we decided in coordination with the exhibition planners to use high illuminance levels – for example, in the modern aviation section, where huge window openings resemble the gates of a hangar.” From a conservation perspective, there was no objection to illuminating the exhibits with high illuminance levels. “Overall, we have created a bright impression in the museum – resulting in light, bright, friendly rooms with high quality of stay and many views of the surrounding urban space and the Isar river encircling the museum island”, explains the lighting designer.

ERCO Greenology: Sustainable lighting with energy-efficient, long-lasting luminaires
The ERCO Greenology approach for sustainable lighting is based on the precise light control of spotlights, which avoids stray light and thus energy waste. Professor Michael Schmidt teaches Energy Efficient Design at the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences. Energy-efficient planning and building, especially concerning lighting, is particularly important to him in his own projects. The lighting technology developed in-house by ERCO projects the light precisely onto the target area. Compared to other optics, a lower connected load is sufficient to achieve the same illuminance. In addition to the efficiency of the LED spotlight (lm/W), the result is particularly effective lighting (lx/W). To keep not only energy costs but also maintenance effort as low as possible, the longevity of the luminaires is a decisive factor in museum operations. ERCO luminaires, thanks to advanced technology, robust components and in-house developed optoelectronics, are designed for long-term operation.

The signature feature of the new Par 18 models by Catellani & Smith are the spherical “golf glass” elements, made from blown glass and shaped in a mould specifically designed for the purpose by Bohemian master glassmakers to obtain an exclusive texture based on the technical specifications and drawings by Catellani & Smith.

The aim was to maintain the transparency of the glass, while at the same time creating distinctive effects thanks to the interaction of the light with the irregular inner surface of the spheres.

The new series is composed of the striking Par 18 Chandelier and the Par 18 wall lamp.

Par 18 Chandelier is a creation replete with character, suitable for residential, contract and hotel settings.

Over the last few years, the development of a low-voltage system with premium-quality, interchangeable light sources has allowed Catellani & Smith to create bespoke chandeliers able to meet a variety of requests from customers. A splendid new entry to this project is Par 18 Chandelier, which can be customised with bases of different sizes and with different finishes, with the number and height of the elements determined by the customer. In addition, Par 18 Chandelier can be made using spheres with the same diameter (8 cm or 16 cm), or a combination of both sizes.

Thanks to the transparency of the glass and the slender cables that support the pendants, Par 18 Chandelier offers a splendidly light, elegant composition, as well as a distinctive lighting effect.

Par 18 is a wall lamp, available in the two standard finishes black and white.

The extremely low-voltage COB LED source of Par 18 casts a diffused light, and creates an enchanting pattern of shadows on the wall or ceiling, thanks to the irregular inner surface of the 16 cm glass sphere. Incorporated into the circular base is a brass joint that enables a 350° rotation on the horizontal axis and up to 90° on the vertical axis, so that the beam of light can be adjusted in the desired direction and enchanting light effects recreated on the wall.

In a pilot project, Fagerhult and Hydro Extrusion Sweden have explored circular processes for the reuse of aluminium – focusing on efficiency and preserved material properties.

With the goal of reusing high-quality, extruded aluminium from end-of-life luminaires in the future, Fagerhult, together with Hydro, has explored the possibility of circular models in a pilot project.

“Many of our luminaires have an aluminium body, and we want to ensure that they can be optimally recycled without losing the quality or properties of the material. In collaboration with Hydro Extrusion Sweden, we are now exploring how we can close the loop,” says Niclas Thulin, Head of Sustainability at Fagerhult.

Recycling in a new light

The pilot project was initiated in connection with Norwegian Property’s ambition to achieve more efficient energy use at Snarøyveien 30 in Oslo. Fagerhult then saw an opportunity to reclaim a large number of Notor luminaires, and the possibilities of recycling and circular processes were explored.

“Reuse was not possible, but since there were a larger number of luminaires, we wanted to make the best use of the material,” explains Niclas Thulin. “When extruded aluminium luminaires are recycled, it is common for the material’s properties to undergo downgrading, and then be used in die casting, for example. In this project, we wanted to close the loop and ensure the qualities of the material by allowing the original producer to process the material again. The pilot project resulted in the aluminium being melted down and reshaped, Niclas Thulin continues. Throughout the pilot project, the focus has been on circular processes and sustainable innovations. The goal has been to take new steps beyond the norm and the expected – and to overcome the major challenge of recycling used extruded aluminium – while preserving material properties.

“Aluminium is a uniquely durable metal that can be recycled almost endlessly, but like all materials, it needs to be handled responsibly,” says Kristian Frisk, Account Manager at Hydro Extrusion Sweden. “Together, we were now able to recycle the equivalent of 1,300 kg of aluminium in the pilot project, but the big gain is the insights we will take to future projects.”

Long-term solutions

With a long-term perspective and an aspiration to contribute to sustainable development, Fagerhult has pushed the boundaries of what was previously possible and taken a major step towards meeting the demand for new circular solutions.

“Together with Hydro Extrusion Sweden, we have closed the chain and demonstrated that it is possible to create new circular processes where all our aluminium luminaires can be handled circularly in the future,” concludes Thulin.
