With usable space at a premium, flexibility is vital in all schools :

ROTALUX has a unique 350 degree rotation allowing teaching space to be fully utilised for a variety of activities

For formal teaching areas ROTALUX ensures optimum lighting levels with a flicker-free, high frequency fluorescent luminaire.

ROTALUX is ideal for primary schools where the emphasis is on more informal arrangements!

All designs and proposals are supported by full lighting plans and allow decisions to be confidently made at an early design stage.

Their Requirements:

The Chantry High School uses the top floor of a 1960's block as a languages teaching area. Still lit with tungsten lighting, which was not only unsightly but also extremely energy inefficient, the energy costs were forming a large part of the school's budget. The Pilot Scheme was set up to monitor the energy savings of the ROTALUX installation by comparison with that on the floor below.

ROTALUX Design Solution:

ROTALUX with 350 degree Rotation provides flexibility, allowing teaching rooms to be used for a variety of activities including VDU, display or multi-media. The tough polycarbonate sealed lens system and high quality aluminium body provide a robust product, which allows safe maintenance away from teaching areas. A TWO-YEAR Replacement Guarantee ensures value for the Education budget.

The classroom areas were lit with 58 watt high frequency, wide angle luminaires, initially in the down-light position: lights adjacent to the windows incorporated daylight linking as a trial using Tridonic's new probe system - at the cutting edge of this technology. Integral auto-test emergency packs in the units lighting the corridors and stairwells ensured maximum safety for pupils and staff whilst maintaining the aesthetics of the building.

The Head Teacher's Response:

Work was carried out quickly and with minimum disruption to the work of the school.

We are delighted with the results - the new lights are aesthetically pleasing, and have made a real difference to the teaching environment.

Just as important, perhaps even more so, is the energy savings - specially installed meters have shown us that the new lights are using 1/4 of the electricity of the previous ones.

They really will be worth their weight in Gold!

I wish to volunteer for ROTALUX installations in the rest of the school, please!

The Chief Energy Officer;

As part of Suffolk County Council's commitment to setting an energy efficiency standard for our schools, we have been pleased to work with ROTALUX, and have been impressed with the reduction in lighting loads achieved at Chantry High - other projects for Suffolk Schools are awaiting installation.

With ROTALUX in a downlight position, the room may be used as a tutorial or study area with comfortable light levels on the desk top.

As an uplight ROTALUX ensures conditions ideal for use of VDU - no glare on the screen.

For libraries, galleries and museums ROTALUX runs cool helping to maintain the optimum storage conditions for books, manuscripts and works of art.

ROTALUX, sealed against dust and water, is easily cleaned to provide a dust-free and sterile environment for laboratories and clean research areas.

ROTALUX is easily rotatable through 350 degrees providing dimmable directional lighting for performances, activities and sports.
