Some of our Heritage lighting installations

Khan Scuplture

London, UK

The giant sculpture of Genghis Khan by Dashi Namdakov in Marble Arch is illuminated using fittings supplied by Light Projects. The 5m tall statue captures the legendary leader wearing Mongolian armour on his steed and was commissioned to honour the warrior on the 850th anniversary of his birth.

Due to the complex nature of trying to illuminate such an intriguing piece along with previous bad experiences, Halcyon Galleries approached lighting designers DHA Designs to conceive a more exciting and innovative lighting scheme. They specified different fittings from Light Projects to uplight the plinth and upper parts of the statue.

Battle of Britain Memorial

London, UK

The new Battle of Britain Memorial on London’s Victoria Embankment has been illuminated using RobLight’s Fibre Optic fittings supplied by Light Projects. The Memorial was sculpted by Paul Day with Architects Donald Insall Associates.

The lighting was specified by Phoenix Large (a Lightmatters company) and it was decided that Fibre Optics would provide the perfect solution for this application where high quality effective lighting, coupled with low maintenance was required.

Waltham College

London, UK

Lighting Designers Pritchard Themis used Light Projects LEDBar Mini and LEDBar Lensed to illuminate the handrails at Waltham College.

Queen Mother Memorial

London, UK

Two long bronze friezes over 3m long on a famous London statue are dramatically lit using Roblon Fibre Optic fittings supplied by the Light Projects Group. Sculpted by Paul Day, they grace either side of the Queen Mother Memorial on The Mall.

Following similar illumination of his Battle of Britain Memorial on London’s Victoria Embankment, Paul Day again decided that Fibre Optics would provide the ideal lighting. This high quality and effective solution was chosen because it is subtle and discreet and the small fibre end points do not detract from the imagery within the frieze as they illuminate the panels from the top in a specially designed pelmet.

More London

London, UK

Over 300 metres of Tokistar Exhibitor Series festoon lighting has been used at More London on the banks of the River Thames in London Bridge. Using 0.48w LEDs enclosed by clear globes 500mm apart, the lighting creates a bright and clear link with the existing large globes at this popular Thames walkway between Hayes Galleria and Tower Bridge.

St Pancras Station

London, UK

Artist Paul Day used RobLight’s FL 1500 range of projectors to illuminate the frieze of his sculpture – ‘The Meeting Place’, the 9-metre-high 20-tonne bronze sculpture at the south end of the upper level of St Pancras railway station.

Designed to evoke the romance of travel through the depiction of a couple locked in an amorous embrace, the frieze on ‘the kissing statue’, as it is commonly called, features images from the history of the Tube and train, including people queuing on platforms or travelling in carriages; soldiers departing for war and returning injured and repair works following the 7 July 2005 London bombings.

Bath Archway Roman Baths

Bath, UK

In the centre of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the city of Bath, The Roman Baths and Pump Room is a site of international historical and archaeological significance and attracts over one million visitors each year.

As part of an impressive refurbishment, architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios created the Archway Project comprising a new World Heritage Centre and Roman Baths Learning Centre. The Learning Centre features three state-of-the-art learning rooms, break out space and a hands-on Investigation Zone set among real Roman remains.

The project lighting designers, Lux Lucis, specified both Light Projects LEDStar 3 and LEDStar 4 fittings throughout the space. LEDStars are perfect for this kind of application. ‘Made in Britain’ from precision machined aluminium, they offer the very latest LED modules with high CRI 90+ and feature an IP67 rating. The addition of replaceable LED modules allows for easy maintenance and upgrade minimising the environmental impact and forming part of the circular economy.

The Palladian Bridge, Stowe

Buckinghamshire, UK

The Palladian Bridge in Stowe Gardens is a Grade I listed building built in 1738 by James Gibbs. Now owned by The National Trust, Light Projects supplied the lighting for this and other buildings within the estate.

Royal Academy of Music

London, UK

The concept for the lighting deconstructs the traditional chandelier into an exploding theatre-wide galaxy of light through RobLight fibre-optic crystals.

A £20m Ian Ritchie Architects scheme completely renovated the Royal Academy of Music’s Susie Sainsbury Theatre, Angela Burgess Recital Hall, practice rooms and dressing rooms.

The Globe Theatre

London, UK

The ‘All the World’s A Stage’ exhibition which was at The Globe, was designed by exhibition designers rwdp (formerly Robin Wade & Partners). In the ‘Underglobe’ of the theatre,  the exhibition aimed to recreate Shakespeare’s world and to put the whole Globe in its historical context. The exhibition comprised different static showcases, multimedia and interactive displays to give visitors an idea of what the theatre was like in Shakespeare’s time.

The centrepiece of the exhibition was a huge oak tree cast from a real tree with a dappled light effect simulating daylight spilling through its branches. This lighting, together with other special effects, was supplied by Light Projects. The result was a versatile and effective lighting scheme creating an emotive and “magical” exhibition which doubled up as corporate entertainment venue.
