RIDI Lighting was seen as the perfect luminaire manufacturer for the newly designed lighting scheme at Christian Aid’s London office. RIDI’s combination of functional design and high-performance, supported by its outstanding value made it a clear choice for building specifiers M Moser Associates, when it came to choosing a manufacturer.

RIDI lights were chosen for installation in almost every area of the 45,000 sq ft building, which is spread over six floors and includes a basement area. RIDI was used in important areas where first impressions count, including the reception and in meeting rooms. London-based M Moser Associates had specified RIDI’s lights for previous projects, and used the company again for the Christian Aid project.

“The RIDI range offers the client a complete range of high-quality lighting at an affordable price,” comments Anton Jeanes, M Moser Associates. “Working with RIDI also allowed us to offer the client a complete lighting solution with a multitude of options for different areas of the building, for example complying with the LG3a requirements in employee work areas.”

The RIDI lights used by M Moser Associates in the Christian Aid project included examples of the recessed luminaire series EMML K and EBIMML, the mirror luminaire series SP, the suspended luminaire series SM-TI-EVG, the AEBR SG specular parabolic louvre range, and the HRL display light ranges. All are ideal for modern commercial lighting applications. The recently revised range of EBD downlighters was also selected, which is now fully compliant with the latest UK and European regulations and has been completely redesigned and upgraded to provide an affordable, versatile and attractive downlighter solution for any type of commercial office lighting application.

Product s election was made to provide an economic blend of compact fluorescent down lights, fluorescent modular fitting display lights in low voltage, as well as emergency lighting. As well as this, simple surface-mounted light fittings were used in areas with concrete ceilings. Care was taken to provide lighting for open plan office areas, without damaging glare to users of VDUs. Lux levels vary from 300 to 500 throughout the office.
