Beneath dMFK’s award-winning headquarters at 76 Charlotte Street, London, Downstairs at dMFK sees a previously lightless basement transformed into a living materials library and creative workspace. Completed in December 2025, the 2,000 sq ft Derwent London-owned space reimagines a former post-production studio as a flexible environment for collaboration, experimentation and events.

Acting as client, architect and interior designer, dMFK Architects approached Light Forms to develop a flexible, interchangeable lighting scheme that could combine standard and non-standard fittings – some fixed, some moveable – while responding sensitively to the constraints of a low ceiling and limited natural light. The ambition was to create a softly lit, highly adaptable environment that demonstrates how even the most challenging spaces can become viable, inspiring workplaces.

Accenting the narrow, mirrored lightwell that draws visitors down into the basement, Light Forms concealed a KA28 Micro Grazer LED fitting to wash a sheer curtain with light, creating the illusion of daylight along the limited street-facing edge. This subtle intervention provides an immediate sense of depth and arrival.

Within the main space – featuring a workspace, materials libraryand events hub – carefully positioned Powergear 3-Circuit track forms the backbone of the scheme. Flexible Nova Small spotlights, controlled via a Casambi system, provide the ability to reconfigure lighting layouts with ease, highlighting furniture, workshop samples and curated displays as the space evolves. The system allows seamless transition from focused daytime working to industry events, design talks, intimate suppers, and more.

At the centre of the basement sits a five-metre-long terrazzo bar, conceived as a multifunctional focal point – a materials discussion table by day and a bar, dining surface or DJ booth by night. Here, Light Forms proposed a completely flush track solution, delivering warm, dimmable illumination across the surface without the visual interruption of suspended fittings. The fittings can be easily swapped out to showcase alternative luminaires, supporting dMFK’s ambition to explore and present new products within the space.

In the meeting rooms, bespoke Sirius 400 circular fittings were developed to focus light precisely onto the table surface, softening gently at the perimeter to create a calm, intimate atmosphere. Designed to clip into the track, these fittings reinforce the project’s overarching principle of flexibility and interchangeability.

Installed in collaboration with contractor Retail Design and Build Ltd., the lighting integrates seamlessly with acoustic treatments, bespoke joinery and material interventions throughout the basement. The result is a cohesive, layered environment that balances technical performance with warmth and tactility, supporting focused work, collaborative workshops, exhibitions and social events alike.

Commenting on the project, Julian de Metz, Director at dMFK, said: “We work with Light Forms on multiple projects because they have a ‘can do’ ability and drive to design and fabricate interesting fittings that innovate, stand apart from the market, whilst performing in a highly technical arena. For ‘Downstairs at dMFK’, Light Forms were, as ever, easy to work with and helped us arrive at a solution that exceeded our expectations. The lighting is gorgeous.”

By combining concealed grazing light, adaptable track systems and bespoke feature fittings, Downstairs at dMFK demonstrates how thoughtful lighting can redefine a basement environment – strengthening working relationships, showcasing emerging products and creating a space that blurs the line between office, gallery and gathering place.

At the heart of Piccadilly stands the Grade I listed St James’s Church, Piccadilly, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the aftermath of the Great Fire of London. Centuries later, The Wren Project is breathing new life into this historic site through a multi-million-pound restoration and rejuvenation programme. Phase one was completed earlier this year, focusing on four key areas, including the reinstatement of the South Door onto Jermyn Street, a vital architectural and symbolic element of Wren’s original design. The door had been walled up in the 1840s to accommodate a growing congregation, but as part of the renovation, the entrance has since been reopened, with a bespoke William Sugg & Co. replica lantern and replica bow bracket positioned above the new entrance. The existing lantern and bracket sited above the North entrance were used as the inspiration for the new doorway and they were also fully restored and converted LED Mock Mantles as part of the works.

The Wren Project

The comprehensive Wren Project restoration is taking place over multiple phases, transforming the site, sanctuary, courtyard, gardens and the Piccadilly building. The project will not only restore the historical site but also amplify the church’s efforts in environmental activity and social outreach with people experiencing homelessness, refugees, asylum-seekers and those persecuted because of their sexuality and identity. With 40,000 visitors each month, the historic site is a prominent fixture in the local area and will be open to even more of the community with these changes in place.

William Sugg & Co. had previously been approached regarding heritage lighting for the church, crafting a Grosvenor lantern for Robert Myers’ gold-medal-winning ‘St James’s Piccadilly: Imagine the World to be Different’ garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower show in 2024. Whilst there was no direct link between the show’s commission and the South Door project, both were part of The Wren Project, and the success and historical resonance of the lantern design at the show reinforced William Sugg & Co.’s suitability for the main church restoration. Echoing the ethos of St James’s Church, the garden symbolised hope, recovery and a call to revitalise urban green spaces with climate-resistant plants. Featured in the garden was an archway reminiscent of the gateways leading to the churchyard, from which hung a heritage lantern by William Sugg & Co. Commissioned by Stewart Landscape Construction, the Grosvenor lantern was chosen to reflect Piccadilly’s historical context and act as a guiding light into the garden. The plants have since been reestablished in St Pancras Euston Road church, St James’s partner church, and alongside the hard landscaping, the lantern will be restored to St James’s garden.

The Art and Engineering Behind the New Lantern

William Sugg & Co. was chosen to create an identical replica lantern and bracket for the South Door on St Jermyn Street, reproducing the distinctive bow bracket and lantern restored by the team adorning the North Door. Ptolemy Dean Architects, specialists in the conservation of historic buildings, utilised William Sugg & Co. to design and manufacture the lantern, alongside experts in masonry and carpentry to construct the Portland stone doorway and English oak door. The lantern head was crafted from copper, skilfully formed onto a robust steel body to ensure durability. To maintain historical authenticity, the design incorporated mock mantles, providing the warm, inviting glow typical of traditional gas lanterns, whilst harnessing a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient LED source discretely housed within. Emergency lighting functionality was also incorporated.

To ensure visual harmony, individual components were custom-made to achieve the intricate lines and curves characteristic of the original’s ironmongery. During the restoration, tiny flecks of gold leaf were discovered on the original lantern’s cap and spike, prompting the team to gild the new lantern’s cap and spike, an elegant nod to the church’s decorative heritage. The green paint selected for the lantern was precisely matched to the railings, maintaining continuity within the wider site landscape.

The South Door was reintegrated following Sir Christopher Wren’s original designs, which visually drew residents to the door through its considered sightlines. Now with step-free access and a bespoke lantern lighting the way on a boldly realised bracket, the entrance welcomes everyone to the sanctuary.

The integration of the new lantern and bracket posed several technical challenges, particularly in ensuring a seamless fit to the newly constructed Portland stone doorway and English oak door. The design required zero tolerance in fixing it to the facade, as the bracket had to sit precisely within the new stone side faces without compromising the historical line of sight or the structural integrity of the entrance. The lantern housing was engineered for accessibility, allowing for straightforward maintenance and unobtrusive integration of emergency lighting functions, crucial for public safety, yet designed so that the red emergency light would not be visible, preserving the lantern’s period appearance.

Change for the Better

At the heart of the Wren Project is a commitment to inclusivity and community. The reinstated South Door, now featuring step-free access and illuminated by the bespoke lantern, symbolises the church’s desire to break down barriers and welcome all who pass through its doors. Enhanced lighting, improved entrances and intentionally designed seating have transformed the church and gardens into accessible spaces that embody the church’s ethos of belonging regardless of faith or background. The reopened entrance and revitalised public realm are set to increase engagement and participation in the church’s diverse social and cultural programmes.

Lighting has always played a significant role in ecclesiastical architecture, representing hope and guidance. The new lantern at St James’s Church revives a lost architectural feature and serves as a symbol of the church’s enduring mission to illuminate the path for all who seek solace, inspiration or community. The careful restoration and bespoke craftsmanship respect the church’s storied past, whilst embracing the evolving needs of a diverse and dynamic congregation.

Neil Stanton, Managing Director of William Sugg & Co., comments, “The restoration of St James’s Church, Piccadilly, demonstrates the importance of retaining skilled heritage crafts in modern construction. This project highlights how heritage restoration can be respectful of the past and responsive to current needs, with every decision guided by the need to preserve the appearance and functionality of the entrance and Christopher Wren’s original design. Our contribution to St James’s Church is grounded in skilled workmanship and a collaborative approach, ensuring the building continues to serve its congregation and visitors well into the future.”

Elite Control Services (ECS) were appointed by Park Lighting Design to provide specialist lighting controls commissioning for a new installation for Teeside University. Working closely with Park Lighting Design as the designers and supplier, contractors SES and Traxon e:cue as the chosen solutions provider, the team selected a full dynamic lighting solution from Traxon e:cue using Pixel Ribbon GO RGBW HB and e:cue controls to deliver flexible, high-impact RGBW lighting effects across the scheme. ECS were brought in to ensure that the control system was correctly configured, resilient and straightforward for the on-site team to operate and adapt as required.

The ECS scope covered testing and verifying all control addresses so that every Pixel Ribbon run responded accurately within the system, followed by detailed mapping to align the controls with the design layout and intended lighting scenes. The team then set up a clever master–slave control arrangement, configuring the e:cue controllers so that the system would continue to operate seamlessly in the event of a fault. If the slave controller detects that the master is no longer present or communicating on the network, it automatically takes over system control, limiting any potential outages and helping to maintain continuous lighting performance for students, staff and visitors.

Once the core commissioning was complete, ECS provided on-site training for the university’s team, demonstrating how they can programme and adjust the system themselves to support different events, timings and visual requirements. This ensured that Teesside University not only benefited from a robust and intelligently configured Traxon e:cue solution but also had the in-house capability to make the most of its new dynamic lighting.

Commenting on the project, ECS Director Adam Hardy said: “We were asked to come in alongside Park Lighting Design and Traxon e:cue to make sure the controls were set up properly and would keep the lighting running smoothly. We handled everything from testing addresses and mapping through to configuring the master and slave controllers and delivering training so the university team can programme the system themselves. By building in that resilience, we are proud to have helped Teesside University get a reliable, flexible lighting solution with minimal risk of downtime.”

A brand-new concept in EV charging stations for heavy vehicles is grabbing attention through its dynamic lighting, made possible with technology from Pharos Architectural Controls.

The innovative approach to charging stations has been developed by Einride; a technology company focused on sustainable logistic solutions. The network of stations has been purposefully designed with a strong investment in energetic lighting design. The aim is to make the stations easily identifiable and locatable even in the darker hours. Adding to this, the lighting makes the experience of charging heavy vehicles more enjoyable and engaging.

The new lighting design is being rolled out across Einride’s network of charging sites, starting with the station in Varberg, Sweden. The project’s lighting designer, Julia Ekman of Invitedlight, specified a solution from Pharos to deliver the dynamic lighting requirements for the Varberg charging station. A Pharos Designer LPC 1 controller is at the heart of the advanced lighting design at the Varberg site, and is also being utilised across the full-network of Einride’s charging facilities.

The Designer LPC is an all-in-one control solution that is ideal for LED lighting installations. As a rugged, compact unit, the LPC is designed to offer complete reliability even when in 24/7 operation. Additionally, its ‘fit and forget’ installation and programming removes the need for manual intervention – unless looking to fine tune timelines and scenes to complement seasonal events, or company objectives.

Ryan Sainsbury, Regional Sales Manager for UK, Ireland, N. Europe and Benelux at Pharos Architectural Controls, said: “The new Einride charging station in Varberg is a really eye-catching innovation. The dynamic lighting is controlled with a single Designer LPC, which shows how powerful this piece of technology is. The LPC is easily housed in weather-proof enclosures, making it ideal for charging stations that are potentially exposed to harsh conditions throughout the changing seasons.”

Lina Strömmer, Managing Director of Stockholm Lighting, added: “The lighting at the Einride heavy-duty EV charging stations is not only attractive and a talking point, but it also makes the sites highly visible for drivers even at night. The lighting effects have been made possible through the Pharos Designer LPC which delivered everything we needed for the unique concept of this project.”

The new driver-friendly charging stations will become increasingly common, with Einride committed to an ongoing roll-out of the eye-catching sites. Each location has multiple charging points, with the Varberg site offering 16 chargers – allowing multiple heavy-duty EVs to recharge at the same time.

Located in the heart of East Belfast, Better Gym Connswater has undergone a transformative refurbishment, reimagining the existing site as a dynamic fitness environment. Appointed to deliver the new lighting scheme, Light Forms developed a striking yet highly functional solution that supports the gym’s updated layout, new equipment and refreshed member experience, while remaining true to Better Gym’s established visual identity.

Working alongside architect Zynk Design and project manager GLL, the scheme was carefully coordinated to align with the revised layout and upgraded facilities. Completed in January 2026, the design centres on the concept of motion, with bold, layered lighting features shaped by circulation routes and training zones to create an energetic, immersive environment suited to a contemporary fitness setting.

A key feature of the design is the use of Moondband 40 curved lighting track, arranged in varying lengths to form a layered, sculptural centrepiece. Suspended within the main gym floor, the rings create the impression of movement in motion, anchoring the space visually while delivering both direct and indirect illumination. Installed in close coordination with Emerald Group UK & Ireland, the feature elements were precisely positioned to integrate seamlessly with the exposed services and ceiling arrangement.

Above the functional training zone, Five Bow H with Flat Lens delivers consistent, high-performance linear illumination. Aligned with the 13-metre turf track and equipment layout by Technogym & Balance, it mirrors the floor geometry to create a cohesive composition that reinforces direction and pace during high-intensity sessions. In the studios, a colour-changing RGBW blue version allows scenes to adapt to different class formats, while indirect blue uplighting washes the dark grey soffit in Better Gym’s signature colour, adding depth without compromising functional light levels.

Elsewhere, Value Down spotlights ensure clear, welcoming illumination through entrance and circulation areas, guiding members intuitively through the space. Nova Medium 62 suspended fittings define the Members’ Hub, introducing a softer layer of light suited to social interaction and recovery. In the free weights area, Target Line surface-mounted luminaires provide focused, practical illumination that supports safe and effective training while maintaining the scheme’s clean visual language.

Throughout the scheme, the balance between performance and atmosphere remained central. Each zone is lit according to its functional demands, yet unified through the considered integration of direct and indirect light, linear forms and brand-led colour accents. The result is a flexible lighting environment that enhances visibility, supports wellbeing and amplifies the motivational energy of the gym floor.

Commenting on the project, Paul Shoosmith, Director at Light Forms, said: “Better Gym Connswater has been an exciting opportunity to explore how lighting can express movement and brand identity within a high-performance environment. By combining sculptural feature elements with robust, functional illumination, we’ve created a scheme that motivates members, supports operators and brings a renewed sense of energy to the space.”

With its layered custom features, precision-aligned linear systems and immersive detailing throughout, the Better Gym Connswater project showcases how Light Forms’ product families can transform a fitness environment into a cohesive, future-focused destination for its users.

The forthcoming publication of Amendment 4 to BS 7671:2018 marks another significant step in the ongoing modernisation of the UK’s electrical installation standards.

Set for release on 15 April 2026, this amendment reflects the realities of an industry undergoing rapid technological transformation. Energy storage, digital infrastructure, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), and Power over Ethernet (PoE) driven smart buildings are reshaping the expectations placed on electrical systems. ICT refers to the networked digital technologies – data cabling, communication systems, servers and connected devices – that now underpin almost every building. PoE, meanwhile, is the method of delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, enabling a new generation of intelligent, network-powered devices.

For installers, designers and specifiers, the amendment is not simply a list of new requirements. It is a signal of where the industry is heading – and why the regulatory framework must evolve to keep pace. Understanding the intent behind these changes is essential for anyone working on modern electrical installations.

One of the most notable additions is the introduction of a new chapter dedicated to stationary secondary batteries. The rise of energy storage systems has been one of the most significant developments in the built environment over the past decade. What was once a specialist technology is now becoming a common feature in homes, commercial buildings and industrial facilities. Batteries are increasingly used to support renewable generation, provide backup power or enable more sophisticated energy management strategies. The new chapter acknowledges this shift by offering clearer guidance on installation practices, protection requirements and integration with existing electrical infrastructure. It reflects a recognition that energy storage is no longer peripheral – it is becoming central to the way electrical systems are designed and operated.

Another important development is the introduction of Section 545, which addresses functional earthing and equipotential bonding for ICT equipment and communication systems. As buildings become more connected, the electrical installation plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and performance of digital systems. Poor earthing or bonding can lead to interference, data loss or equipment malfunction. The new section provides a more structured approach to managing these risks, helping installers create environments where ICT systems can operate predictably and safely. This is particularly relevant as the boundary between electrical and digital infrastructure continues to blur.
Power over Ethernet is an example of that convergence. Once used primarily for low-power devices, PoE has rapidly expanded into a foundational technology for smart buildings. Cameras, access points, sensors and even lighting systems are increasingly powered and controlled through the same cable. With higher power levels and denser cable bundles, the thermal and safety considerations become more complex. Amendment 4 introduces guidance to help installers design PoE systems that are both safe and efficient, ensuring that the technology can continue to scale without compromising performance or safety. This is a recognition of PoE’s growing importance and a necessary step in supporting its continued adoption.

Perhaps the most substantial update comes in the form of a major revision to Section 710, which covers medical locations. Electrical safety in healthcare environments is uniquely critical. Patients may be connected to life support equipment that must operate without interruption, and even minor disturbances can have serious consequences. The revised section strengthens requirements around earthing, bonding and supply continuity, ensuring that installations in hospitals, clinics and care facilities meet the highest possible standards of resilience. This update reflects the increasing complexity of medical technology and the need for electrical systems that can support it reliably. Support equipment that must operate without interruption, and even minor disturbances can have serious consequences. The revised section strengthens requirements around earthing, bonding and supply continuity, ensuring that installations in hospitals, clinics and care facilities meet the highest possible standards of resilience. This update reflects the increasing complexity of medical technology and the need for electrical systems that can support it reliably.

Taken together, these changes illustrate a broader trend: electrical installations are becoming more integrated, more technologically sophisticated and more critical to the functioning of modern buildings.

For those working with wiring accessories, consumer units, circuit protection and distribution equipment, the amendment reinforces the importance of understanding how emerging technologies interact with traditional electrical infrastructure. Installers will need to consider not just the immediate requirements of a circuit, but the broader context in which it operates: the presence of ICT systems, the use of PoE, the integration of energy storage or the demands of a healthcare environment. The amendment encourages a more holistic approach to design and installation, one that anticipates the needs of increasingly complex systems.

As the industry prepares for the transition period following the amendment’s publication, the focus should be on familiarisation and forward planning. The six-month window before the previous edition is withdrawn provides time for installers and specifiers to understand the new requirements and consider how they apply to upcoming projects.

Amendment 4 acknowledges the technologies that are reshaping the built environment and provides a framework to ensure they can be integrated safely and effectively. For the electrical industry, it is both a challenge and an invitation – to stay informed, to adapt and to continue delivering installations that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
