Cambridge University Press is one of the most respected publishing houses in the world. Part of the University of Cambridge, it is responsible for the publication of hundreds of academic books and journals, other educational publications as well as bibles and digital products.
Steeped in history, the Press is the world’s oldest publishing house after being granted a letters patent by Henry VIII in 1534. It is also the second largest university press in the world.
So given the above, Dextra Lighting was honoured to be part of a recent office lighting refurbishment programme which included converting one of the old printing rooms at the press into new offices with specialist office lighting fixtures. The Press chose Dextra Lighting’s Evolution 4x14W T5 luminaire throughout phase 1 of the project due to its proven track record as a viable fluorescent office lighting solution.
Evolution is an advanced range of architectural semi-recessed luminaires designed primarily for office lighting applications with high-transmission polycarbonate side diffusers and etched surface finishes. The range comes with multiple lamp options but provides a consistent visual appearance across the range regardless of lamp configuration and can incorporate either a central MP polycarbonate panel or specular/semi-specular aluminium louvres. All T5 office lighting fixtures include lamps and options on all Evolution models include; 4 pole GST 18 panel mount, Reacta 24 for lighting control and an air return facility which can handle 25 litres per second.
Even with a ceiling height of 4.2m, Dextra Lighting’s R43 EF sensor was able to work alongside Evolution at the Press. In the rooms, the sensors have been grouped in sixes, with a central R43EF and with DSI(e) fittings installed along the front of the scheme to harvest daylight savings.
The Dextra Lighting product range includes a number of office lighting luminaires with individual products designed for commercial office lighting and office ceiling lighting installations.
