Bluewater front of house

Bluewater front of house: RGBW

Background

With the Back of house completely mapped with the Mymesh solution, the next logical step was to start the front of house as well. With a healthy balance of aesthetic lighting and functional lighting, with emergency integrated throughout, the Front of house has stated its journey to be fully Mymesh powered.

Challenge

As with most sites, BMS systems start to degrade and require maintenance or replacing. In addition to this, complaint lighting and more energy efficient alternatives require attention to ensure the front of house is not only complaint, but visually attractive to shoppers to make the site more enjoyable.


As both were being replaced at the same time, this opened up an opportunity for Mymesh to be both the BMS and an attractive lighting solution to be tailored year-round.

Solution

Taking any BMS out, and replacing this with calendar/schedular controls with the Mymesh solution, the front of house Palm tree lights are now completely flexible to how Bluewater wishes. With RGBW dali control for the decorative lights, and cool white dimmable for the tree section, the dynamic control the Mymesh solution allows creates reliable control for this area of lighting.


The integration of the emergencies in the palm trees also allow the front of house emergencies to be monitored and controlled to maintain compliance, making the following of BS5266 easier.

Benefits

Customising the lighting throughout the year to match events, holidays or promotions is now easier, with integration via the Lumitel platform. 

Each device can be changed independently, both in terms of colour and brightness to match what is needed; such as red and green for Christmas, red white and blue for a coronation of patriotic event or all one colour to match an event such as Valentine's day. 

The calendar control, with dali and not on the BMS, means that if the lighting wished to be changed live, it can be without messing with any circuits or switch boards. 


The emergencies being monitored, as well as the general health of the devices, means that maintenance costs are down as well as engineer's time being saved on testing or diagnosing.
