St David’s 2 catches the eye
A major extension to St David's shopping centre in Cardiff has included the use of iColor Flex SLX LED luminaires from Philips Lighting in an illuminated wall running the length of the escalators linking the refurbished centre with the new St David's 2 development to the South. Supplied by Value Added Reseller Architainment, the LEDs provide the centre's operators with the opportunity to create a range of scenes, as well as animated displays.
The architects for the retail area are Benoy and the lighting is designed by Building Design Partnership (BDP).
In total, 135 iColor Flex SLX luminaires have been installed behind an opaque glass screen on the escalator. Each luminaire comprises 50 tri-colour RGB, individually addressable LED nodes spaced 100mm apart, providing a high level of flexibility. It is linked to a Pharos LPC40 control system.
