Riegens Lighting is never knowingly understyled
Specially developed pendant luminaires by Riegens Lighting meet the special needs of the perfumery in the new John Lewis store at Cambridge.
The recently rebuilt John Lewis store in Cambridge uses a specially developed version of Riegens Concido Pendant luminaire to provide a stylish and practical lighting solution for the main entrance area and perfumery counters. The original Robert Sayle store had been in Cambridge for over a hundred years. The new John Lewis store has been built on the same site and is part of a major expansion by this chain of 26 stores. Riegens was asked by the lighting design manager of John Lewis, Barry Ayling, to look at several areas that were problematic for lighting, including an area with a high ceiling. The solution uses specially adapted Concido Pendant luminaires, an architectural downlight with an illuminated matt-blasted opal-glass top section. The specification required the multi-directional elements above the counters to use three 35 W adjustable Brightspot eyeball fittings. A straightforward 70 W CDM-T metal-halide downlight is suspended in the entrance. The opal-glass top section is illuminated with a 57 W TC-TEL fluorescent lamp. Riegens adapted the standard design by including heat-dissipating fins between the lower housing and the decorative glass to reject the increased levels of heat generated. 10 pendant luminaires have been suspended from the first-floor bulkhead overlooking the entrance to provide total adjustment of lighting over an area with a high ceiling that would have been hard to achieve any other way.
