The Arding & Hobbs building near Clapham Junction has now reopened following an extensive redevelopment by Architects Stiff+Trevillion.
Works included restoring many of the original features of the former department store, which dates back to 1876, including the iconic tower, cupola, barrel vaults and stained-glass dome. The redesign celebrates the unique history of the building whilst equipping it for new modern-day work, retail, food and leisure tenants.
As part of the scheme, lighting designers Atelier Ten specified hundreds of fittings from Light Projects to help illuminate the façade of this imposing Grade II listed building. This included exterior linear lighting using LEDBar TrueFlux IP65 Lensed profile with 30° frosted optic to provide perfect, uniform and seamless lighting along the entire length of the building and cupola.
This is a great example of the LEDBar TrueFlux in action. Designed for high-end display where design and performance matter, the fittings offer the highest colour rendering in the LEDBar range at 95+CRI and up to 2400lm/m making it ideal for interior and exterior display, gallery and retail applications.
LEDBar TrueFlux are available in Surface, Recessed, Recessed Spring, Mini, Corner, Lensed and Lensed Exterior versions in three colour temperatures (2700K, 3000K and 4000K) and with a 30° lens ideal for wall grazing or a 60° option suitable for area lighting. They can be supplied in custom lengths ranging from 65mm to 2000mm.
