Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries, Westminster Abbey

High above the Abbey floor, the galleries in the beautiful 13th century triforium display the treasures and tell the story of Westminster Abbey’s thousand-year history.

The lighting design is based on a family of high level track mounted spotlights, all fixtures use Xicato Artist XID 3000K LED modules and are controlled via Bluetooth using Xicato’s GalaXi lighting control. In addition to the track lighting, some displays also have integrated case lighting, either using LED or fibre optic lighting, and are connected to the GalaXi lighting control using Xicato Intelligent Bridges. Ceiling mounted sensors are located across the galleries, dimming the lighting during peak daylight hours, in order to preserve the limited lux-hour budget in the galleries.
