Penn Elcom supplies LED solution for skate park in Hastings

Penn Elcom has supplied LED lighting for the retail areas of The Source, a new Skate and BMX park in Hastings, Sussex, UK. Rich and Marc Moore, owners of The Source BMX, asked Penn Elcom’s Rob Platt for proposing a lighting scheme. Platt engaged lighting specialists Nigel Howes and Razvan Vassiliu and the three worked as a team to design and specify a lighting solution for the park’s retail areas.

The Penn Elcom team suggested LED for its cost saving, longevity and low maintenance, putting forward a combination of products from their own Comus proprietary product range and Osram. It was important that the main lighting emulated daylight, so 32 x Comus 600x600 cold-white LED panels with a 5700 K colour temperature were chosen and installed in the celling of the shop area.

The panels - which can also be dimmed if required - are arranged as 4x4 configurations in eight different locations. The display cases are outlined with Value Flex VF600-G2, a flexible Osram LED product for which Penn Elcom is a distributor. The daylight option at 6500 K was chosen to best match the cool white appearance of the LED panels.

The Flex is ensconced in Comus aluminium profile casing for stability and protection and which also acts as a heat sink, assisting in dissipating the heat and boosting the lifespan of the LEDs. The casing is fitted with a clear cover for protection and maximum light transmission. The Flex strips and the overhead LED panels are controlled via wall-mounted switches.

In addition to the lighting, Penn Elcom also supplied a large quantity of birch plywood to the project to build the skating ramps and BMX tracks, a task undertaken by 9C Solutions from Horsham. A quantity of Comus cables and Neutrik connections were also delivered by Penn as part of their package for use with various AV elements.
