Delivering lighting for data centres across the UK and Europe.
Over recent years, we have worked on several high-profile data centre sites in London, Dublin and Amsterdam. These mission critical projects required custom lighting, detailed lighting calculations and reports. Our team have the experience necessary to deliver lighting design and supply for large scale data centre projects in the UK and in Europe.

Unique challenges.
Modern data centers consist of several types of facilities, all requiring uninterruptible power supplies. From large plant rooms, often with high ambient temperature and humidity, through server ailses which can alternate between hot and cold, all the way to external roof tops, control rooms, offices and canteens. Most of the data center facilities are classed as high risk areas. Power, cooling and security are the most significant challenges when it comes to designing lighting for data centres.
Individual approach.
Data centre architecture and requirements can differ significantly. Each data centre comes with their own specifics and challenges, depending on the age of the building. One such challenge that is common for all data centres is the ambient temperature. As these facilities are energy hungry and generate a lot of heat, lighting has to be selected carefully. Luminaires need to be tested and certified to withstand high temperatures and have the requirement of maintaining efficiency and reliability.
High risk areas.
Some areas of data centres are classified as high risk, which require additional emergency lighting. Due to the high ambient temperature, data centres can present challenges to the batteries in emergency fittings, which degrade faster. Due to the sheer size of the data halls, manual testing would be very inefficient, so gathering and reporting must take place from a central location. As experts in designing emergency lighting for commercial properties, we can take care of this element.
We are the data centre lighting experts.
With the large scale CAT A office fit out project being the core of our business, we have the experience to handle complex and time sensitive projects.
We have worked alongside industry leading consultants, architectural practices and contractors for over 2 decades and with the rising demands for data centre construction, we successfully delivered lighting for several large scale data centres in the UK and in Europe.
