1. The Illuminated Totem.  

The Totem is constructed using 12 LED “Modules”.  Each “Module” is constructed from 8 LED PCB’s containing Amber and Green LEDs controllable in 8 individual channels (4 Amber and 4 Green).
Each Module in controlled via a DMX interface card.  This card receives data from the “DigiPal” user interface located in the Control Box and adjusts the LED brightness on each output channel accordingly.  The 8 LED PCBs and the DMX card are fixed onto an internal Steel “Core Support Ring”. The “Modules” are then surrounded by an Acrylic tube to give the optimal level of light diffusion whilst maintaining performance.  The 12 “Modules” are positioned one above the other to create a 5m tall structure.  At the top of the Totem, an “Exhaust Fan” has been fitted to assist in the removal of heat produced by the LED “Modules”.  A “Thermal Switch” has also been fitted at the top of the Totem to provide a fail-safe cut off if, for any reason, the temperature should rise above an acceptable level. Finally, the structure in encased on four sides by a glass tower. 

2. Cooling Blower Box.    
       
The “Cooling Blower Box” has been designed to force cool (air conditioned) air into a set of four cable conduits.  The cable conduits run from the “Cooling Blower Box” (located under the floor in the adjacent office) into the bottom of the Totem.  The cool air then relies upon the sealing of the glass structure to allow the air to flow directly upwards.  The cool air is required to provide sufficient cooling of the internal components.

3. Control Box. 

The Totem in provided with power and data from a Control Box located within a riser in the adjoining office.  This control box contains high performance “Switch Mode” power supplies which convert 230VAC mains to a 1,500 Watt 24VDC supply, which in turn powers the BP Factoid Totem via the cable runs connected to the DIN rail mounted terminal blocks / fuse holders.

4.  DigiPal Controller.
 
This user interface produces the DMX data that is transmitted to each of the LED “Modules” and its DMX card.  It is located within the Control Box towards the bottom right hand side.  The “Digipal” contains the following programs and sequences.

CHAN 123

Custom made for Heathrow T3 Virgin check-in, these beautiful hanging down lights run on a colour changing cycle slowly fading from one colour into another to generate a calm and relaxing ambiance.

 

Individual Requests

For almost all the projects we work on we produce custom lighting tailored to the requirements of the client but we also get asked for Bespoke Design, Manufacture and installation where specific features need to be incorporated into the projects.

 

LISQ200

The “LISQ200” series fitting is a custom built, 200mm x 200mm, LED down light with four light output apertures. The fitting is designed so that the four apertures deliver light through openings in a cross-shaped ceiling feature. The fitting provides bright pools of light on the floor below using high-powered 3W LEDs. There is a wide variety of LED colours and optical outputs available. The fitting uses a brushed stainless steel face plate, and a fabricated aluminium rear box with heat-sinking, which provides dust protection.
