Our first project of 2021 took us to St. Peter’s Church, Mill End, Rickmansworth. Having provided an initial lighting design and faculty ready specification, we were then commissioned to carry out the installation works.
With lighting levels throughout the church starting to become unusable due to failed lamps and fittings, a number of domestic lamps where dotted around the church to try and provide some much needed light to the congregation.
The existing failing control system was removed and a new DALI controlled system installed. Various mineral-insulated cables were removed and the light fittings decommissioned. We installed a number of DALI controlled LED projector floodlights throughout the church, highlighting important features such as the Pulpit, font and both Altars. General lighting was installed which has dramatically increased lighting levels to the pews and choir stalls. Linear LED strip has been installed to illuminate the East window and additional fittings installed to highlight the roof spaces.
Dimmable LED lamps were installed to the suspended corona light fitting which is now controlled by the new lighting system. Wireless control is now possible so the scenes can be programmed and operated from a mobile device, whilst a push button visitors’ switch next to the South entrance makes it simple for anyone to operate the lights when required. A 10-button scene plate located next to the vestry can operate a number of customisable scenes.
The external lighting also received a makeover. With one light fitting full of water, another with its cover hanging off and the wiring becoming detached from the wall, these lights have not worked for many years, tripping the circuit breaker inside.
All cabling was removed with new black FP200 being installed using the same route as the old cable. New 15w LED floodlights replaced the broken 2D light fittings which provide greater illumination levels where required whilst using less power than lights that were previously installed.
