DHA Designs

DHA Designs were responsible for the lighting design for all gallery spaces in the triforium. The design is based on a family of high level track mounted spotlights by Mike Stoane Lighting, with five different optics. 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. The two areas of stained glass displays in front of the windows are internally lit with KKDC TiMi LED strips. All power to luminaires that do not use Xicato LED modules are connected to the GalaXi lighting control using Xicato Intelligent Bridges. The Bridges either switch non-dimmed loads or provide 1-10V signals to remote dimmable LED drivers. A total of twenty three ceiling mounted PIR and daylight sensors are located across the galleries, which are responsible for switching on and off the lighting at the beginning and end of the day, and dimming the lighting during peak daylight hours, in order to preserve the limited lux-hour budget in the galleries. Within eleven of the sensor housings, Xicato's Intelligent Network Gateways connect the devices together, and provide remote access across a secure network. A small wireless touchscreen device provides the client with manual scene control in the galleries, sending scene commands across the Gateways.
