The brief

An active venue. A clear route.

Pikup Padel needed emergency lighting along an exterior route around its facility. Sections are affected by trees and changing natural light, so the layout and controls were planned for the site.

Planning and preparation

From materials to cable route.

We prepared the fittings and ran the cable through the building before connecting the new lighting circuit.

The controls

Designed around the route.

A photocell and programmable time switch manage normal operation. A key switch gives the client a practical way to test the system.
