The Gate
ACDC Lighting Systems of Barrowford, Lancashire has been awarded the Cold Cathode Lighting Contract for The Gate in Newcastle. The company will manufacture over 700M of cold cathode lighting for the new retail complex located in the heart of Newcastle.
The design incorporates ACDC’s Covelite, Contour Interior, as well as their new ‘Colorise DMX’ colour changing cold cathode lighting. Working closely with Lighting Designers, BDP, to develop the ideal scheme, ACDC were chosen for their DMX and 1-10 volt dimming systems, a first in the cold cathode lighting industry.
ACDC’s cold cathode was chosen for its long life and low maintenance characteristics, as the installation is in very high, difficult to reach areas. The project uses high frequency control gears resulting in higher efficiency when compared to traditional control systems and their Covelite ‘Plug and Socket’ system, offered a cost effective solution.
Claire King, Customer Sales Advisor at ACDC Lighting said ‘ACDC’s Cold Cathode was chosen for its striking visual effects, and the increased flexibility of ‘Colorise DMX’ gave the designers various options for their application.’
ACDC will be installing the lighting, with the project planned for completion at the End of October this year.
