A recent project to deliver a major refurbishment and new build of a hangar at London Southend Airport included a lighting scheme provision, and Ovia was the number one choice of the contractor leading the works.

The company responsible for the electrical installation was Kent-based Prowired Electrical Contractors, which offers a wide range of electrical services throughout the southeast region.

A range of lighting solutions from Ovia’s extensive portfolio were selected. In the hangar itself a selection of highbays and emergency LED signs provided the lighting solution. The Highbay fitting selected was the black Ovia Grus and a total of 17 of the 100W LED 1-10V Dimmable Highbays along with six emergency versions have been fitted. The Grus Highbays were fixed to the ceiling using the surface brackets to provide the finished look required by the client. For the emergency lighting provision, two of the 4W emergency LED Maintained Box Exit Signs in white were chosen.

For the office area Ovia specified the Inceptor Slate Low Glare LED Backlit Panels, with 35 of the fittings installed to meet the requirements. The Inceptor Slate Backlit Panel is a range of TP(a) rated backlit panel lights with a low, <19 UGR diffuser, making them suitable for a range of installations and working environments.

In the staff room two of the Jura 30W LED Panels, featuring cool white colour temperature, were chosen, along with four of the three hour emergency conversion packs. Lighting requirements for the WC facility on the site were catered for with one of the 24W IP44 recessed AluPanel downlights in the 300m diameter option, as well as three EVO Slim 16W IP65 Bulkheads.

Finally, to provide security lighting for the exterior of the hangar and surrounding area, seven of Ovia’s 50W IP44 LED Pathfinder Floodlights with PIR sensor have been installed.
