Lighting

Comfolight CMS continuous run system
Bespoke circular suspended luminaires

The Comfolight continuous run system provides both a 'guiding' light that runs throughout the circulation areas at this newly built technological hub at The University of Edinburgh.  Integrated within this system are the exit signage and photosensors which contributes to the seamless appearance of the lighting and the circulation.  The continuous system is also used in the office area, in either recessed, surface, or suspended forms, to create a glare free lit environment with minimal cables.  Break-out spaces use a round form, rather than a linear, to indicate the use of these areas, whilst still using the glare and cable free them of Siteco luminaire designs.
