SPECIAL FEATURE
SMART LIGHTING & LIGHTING CONTROL
HELPING MANCHESTER AIRPORT TAKE FLIGHT Manchester Airport’s £1bn Transformation Programme is benefiting from the latest in lighting control technology thanks to state-of-the-art lighting sensors supplied by BEG Lighting Controls.
T
he huge project is transforming the airport into a world-class hub by significantly enhancing and expanding its facilities. Funded by MAG, the plan involves extending the airport’s Terminal 2 building to be more than double its size. This includes a new international departure lounge with more than 50 food, beverage and retail outlets, cementing Manchester Airport’s role as the global gateway in the North of England.
The new look terminal has been meticulously designed with customer experience at its heart
The new-look terminal has been meticulously designed with customer experience at its heart, enabling people to flow seamlessly on their journey from parking all the way through to the departure lounge – all made easier with the introduction of the latest technology to enhance the passenger experience. The design of the space has also been carefully thought out from ceiling heights, materials and textures of wall and ceiling coverings to lighting schemes. BEG Lighting Controls was selected as the supplier for all lighting detectors in the project. The Loytec L-DALI was the chosen lighting control system to work with BEG Luxomat DALI-2 presence and motion detectors. DALI-2, which is fast becoming the new standard for lighting control in the UK and globally, is an Open Protocol lighting control solution with all products being tested to meet the new DALI-2 standard and are interoperable with other DALI-2 products. As well as updating the passenger terminals, BEG Lighting Controls also supplied detectors for the airport’s new 3,800 space multi-storey car park which opened in April 2019. BEG Lighting Controls Sales Director for UK & Ireland, Paul Jones, says:
“Manchester Airport is one of the biggest projects the UK arm of BEG Lighting Controls has been involved in to date. “Various models of BEG DALI-2 multi-sensors were specified for this redevelopment work, including the PD4N which gives great coverage up to 24m diameter and the Corridor with its specially designed lens, provide detection of up to 40m coverage 20m either side. “This product was especially useful because there are long walkways to be covered heading out to the various gates, meaning the lights will be switched off when the area is not in use and turned on automatically when anyone walks into the area. This is a very safe and energy efficient solution for Manchester Airport. “We also used the PD2N with up to 10m of coverage for specific smaller areas. There are currently nine models of certified DALI 2 detector available with options of flush fitting or surface mounting. “It has been a pleasure to be involved with such a prestigious project as this to ensure delivery of products when these were needed on site. DALI-2 is an exciting development of the DALI standard and great step forward.” BEG Lighting Controls, beg-luxomat.com
