Working closely with lighting designers from Arup, Sill Lighting has supplied a special gimbal frame for up to three Sill 021 projectors for Dublin Airport’s new Terminal 2.
The 021s were supplied in a variety of HID wattages and beam angles to suit the geometry of their locations, as well as with compact fluorescent lamps for emergency operation.
The Sill gimbal projectors were supplied on time, in batches to suit the build programme, and ready assembled for fast, accurate installation and plug and play operation. Integrated into the space between the structural roof steels and the stretched fabric soffit, the low glare projectors illuminate all the high roofed areas in Arrivals, Departures and Pier E.
Sill’s 458 series asymmetric projectors uplight the main structural elements and soffits around the roof spine skylights, whilst 490 power projectors provide additional lighting to soffits and walls. In all, some 1,800 Sill projectors are used on the project.
Vasiliki Malakasi, lighting designer at Arup, commented, “We are very pleased with the projectors and their photometric performance. The Sill luminaires were fit for purpose – robust yet elegant in design. Most importantly, we managed to work well with the Sill product design team, developing special fittings and parts. We had technical back-up and support throughout the project from initial design to on-site installation.”
All of the Sill projector types used on the scheme have Si12 corrosion resistant die-cast aluminium housings with large heat dissipating cooling fins. The reflectors are made of 99.98% pure aluminium and are chemically polished and anodised with a UV filtering toughened safety glass sealed by a silicone gasket.
