2020-12-UK-Product-Madness-London

Product Madness, an award winning developer of social and mobile games, have occupied the 6th Floor of the listed 1 Finsbury Avenue building in the heart of London’s financial centre. They have turned the category A space, with the help of contractors Oktra, into an imaginative workspace comprising of 24 differentiated work zones and fulfilled their brief of delivering Passion, Creativity and Collaboration. All this in a traditional area of the City of London normally occupied by financial institutions. In 2019 the Category A fit-out of the entire building was lit with the RIDI LINIA system which is a product used for both industrial and commercial buildings. Supplied in black finish, the product looked both modern and technical for what is a completely stripped back exposed services space. The LINIA system was supplied with the MPS low-glare luminaire for office compliance and has an exceptional efficiency. RIDI supplied over 6000 luminaires onto its proprietary pre-wired trunking system. The system also fed the centrepiece atrium lighting that consisted of over 200 Spectral Finy’s to create a pixel effect at high level. LINIA came into its own for the various office Cat B fitouts, including Product Madness, due to its sheer flexibility. The luminaire modules are easily demounted and can be repositioned anywhere along the trunking with tool-less simplicity. Clearly feature and decorative lighting was introduced to the various areas in all fit-other areas but they all worked around the core LINIA product which proved to be the mainstay lighting for the working zones. LINIA also had the advantage in that it could also be used to power additional feature and decorative products – not just from RIDI Group. LINIA is a perfect product for Category A schemes and the finished results from Product Madness show just how effective the product line is.

2021-07-DE-Pflanzen-Koelle-Unterhaching

With more than 200 years of success to look back on, Pflanzen-Kölle is a testament to adaptability and the ability to innovate. Over these two centuries, the family business developed from the original landscape and market gardener in Ulm into today’s full-experience garden centre with 13 locations and two of its own nurseries in Germany. RIDI Leuchten GmbH developed a suitable lighting concept for the garden centre in Unterhaching in addition to the branches in Berlin and Munich. The universally applicable BRITT light panel is used in many parts of the garden centre and offers particularly large-scale and homogenous illumination with its three-row lens arrays. The version on the lighting track can also be rotated by 90° and is especially useful in the retail sector. The TINO LED spotlight integrated into the track provides accentuated lighting. The modern LED spotlight impresses with its compact design and be individually adjusted thanks to a swivel-and-tilt fixture. The cooler outdoor areas are illuminated by the RIDI LINIA-FLAT continuous lighting system with VLG-FZ gear tray. The optical control is directed via lens arrays made of UV-stabilised PMMA. Equipped with modern mid-power LEDs, the RIDI LINIA continuous lighting system boasts particularly high efficiency.

Germany

Messe München has 18 exhibition halls whose lighting will be completely refurbished over the coming years until the end of 2026. Our new RIDI LINIA continuous lighting system will be used for this and the first 4 halls have already been successfully refurbished. Short conversion times, a long service life and a halving of energy consumption are extremely important for the operator - because once all 18 halls have been equipped with LEDs, the annual electricity savings will total around 1.5 million kilowatt hours (kWh).

Germany

Intersport Rebi, founded in 1941 in Bitz, is one of the oldest sports shops in southern Germany. The company offers a varied selection of sports and leisure articles on two floors, which are divided into different areas. The RIDI LINIA continuous-row lighting system is used to illuminate the walkways, while the CIRQUA spotlight was specially developed to illuminate the products. The VLDF-F LED strip is used in the extensive bicycle department on the ground floor, including the workshop. Switching from conventional luminaires to an LED solution will save more than half of the electricity costs in future.

2016-12-DE-Stammherr-GmbH-Druckweiterverarbeitung-Waiblingen

Stammherr in Waiblingen is one of the region's most innovative folding specialists, offering numerous possibilities for processing printed products on a space of 1.100 square metres in total. To provide optimum illumination in the large production hall, the company opted for the flexible RIDI LINIA-FLAT luminous beam system. Linear lenses for wide-angled light dispersion and the transverse prismatic disk made of PMMA that reduces glare in the longitudinal direction guarantee optimum lighting conditions at the individual working areas. No additional reflectors are required to control the light, thus enabling an extremely flat and slim configuration. A clear sheet can also be pushed in for easy removal of dirt deposits on the underside. Planning: INNOBLICK GmbH & Co KG

2020-01-DE-Real-Markthalle-Balingen

Real Markt Balingen in the Gehrn business park became a Markthalle and celebrated a major re-opening in July 2019. Following Krefeld and Braunschweig, Balingen is the third location following this concept, which evokes an image of a traditional market hall with its world of gastronomical experiences and numerous small stands. The individual areas are highlighted using lighting by RIDI. In the entrance area and the primary traffic paths, the RIDI LINIA-FLAT continuous lighting system provides basic illumination and guides the visitor towards the individual shopping areas. The special arrangement of the continuous lighting systems in the style of Mikado sticks brings a loosening effect in the main corridors. CIRQUA spotlights in single and double variants are used to provide lighting accents for cosmetics, household goods and promotional products. REY aisle zone spotlights, also in single and double variants specially developed for the complex requirements of product lightning in shelf aisles, provide efficient illumination of the product aisles and wall displays. In the cooled and frozen food sections, VLDF-F continuous luminaires at a cool 5000 Kelvin are used to visually separate it from the other areas of the market with a colour temperature of 3000 Kelvin, simplifying orientation inside the spacious market.

2019-04-DE-Stadion-Alte-Försterei-Union-Berlin

The ‘An der Alten Försterei’ stadium is located in the neighbourhood of Köpenick to the south-east of Berlin, and has been home to 1. FC Union Berlin since its inauguration in 1920. With a current capacity of 22,012 spectators (as of 2019), it is the largest purpose-built football stadium in the capital. 1. FC Union Berlin made it to the first tier of the Bundesliga for the first time in its history in the 2018/2019 season. After the entire grandstand was fitted with conventional RIDI luminaires, the stadium built on its good cooperative relationship with the company in 2019 and decided to equip the ‘Schlosserei’ event area with modern LED lighting. The premises offer space for up to 1,000 guests across an area of 1,300 m² and provide direct access to the VIP stand. An efficient lighting concept that allowed for the premises to be set to different lighting moods was requested. The sleek RIDI LINIA-FLAT continuous lighting system in combination with spotlights from the TANGO series was the solution supplied to this end. The spotlights are integrated in the lighting track modules of the continuous lighting system and set eye-catching accents. The system is dimmable and features RGB colour control alongside white channels, which facilitates an impressive lighting set-up. The buffet areas are illuminated using the LUPO LED spotlight. Square recessed luminaires from the EBRE series, whose opal acrylic panels were decorated with the club’s logo on request, are used in the press area.

2017-11-DE-Schwelhalle-Balingen

The Schwelhalle (carbonisation hall) located in the Frommern district of the German town of Balingen looks back on a long history. The hall was originally built to serve as a site where slate was carbonised in ovens to derive oil. Alongside fuel, heating oil, bitumen, paraffin, synthetic resin, paints and lacquers were produced here until 1949. After that time, the hall served as a production or storage hall for various companies. In 2017, the advertising agency Atelier Türke, based in the Weilstetten district of Balingen, breathed new life into this old brick building. A striking glass cube constructed in the centre of the hall serves as a location for company events, workshops and similar. The hall has an floor space of 1,065 m² and a 17 m ceiling; the glass cube has a floor space of 208 m² and a height of 3.60 m. The black RIDI LINIA LED lighting system is the perfect match for the lacquered-black supports of the glass cube. Its pared-down, sleek design complements the cube’s minimalist architecture and makes it easy to gaze out into the hall from within. A diffuser made of PMMA with a satin finish serves as an optical controller, providing diffuse light distribution with a slight indirect component. Since they are equipped with RIDI Smart Control and a Tunable White function, the luminaires can be controlled via tablet: Users can easily carry out smooth dimming and control the colour temperature (within a range of 2700 to 6500 Kelvin) through an app.

2019-09-DE-LEONI-Kabel-GmbH-Roth

LEONI is a global provider of products, solutions and services for energy and data management in the automotive sector and other industries. The value chain encompasses wires, optical fibers, standardised cables, special cables and assembled systems as well as intelligent products and smart services. RIDI Leuchten supplied the light strips with LED LINIA-FLAT gear trays for the new ‘Fabrik der Zukunft’ building complex in Roth which covers a total area of 50,000 square metres. These light strips now illuminate the large-scale production area and warehouse. Durable PFZO series hostile environment luminaires are used in the plant rooms. The LED version of these luminaires is particularly efficient and sustainable in operation. Square and rectangular design FPL flat recessed luminaires, which ensure uniform lighting and a pleasant lighting effect, are used in the office areas, corridors and communal areas.

2016-11-DE-Real-Markthalle-Krefeld

The Real Markthalle in Krefeld opened at the end of 2016 with a total area of over 11,500 square metres. Real's new "Food Lover" concept with an extensive food experience and numerous small stalls is reminiscent of a traditional market hall. The lighting emphasises the individuality of the individual stalls and manufactories. While the market stalls were given functional lighting with spotlight systems, decorative lighting with individually selected pendant luminaires was used in the counter area, among others. The RIDI LINIA continuous row system was used here to visually soften the enormous length of the main aisles and introduce a structure that facilitates orientation. The continuous rows with the LINIA-FLAT LED gear trays run at a slight angle both horizontally and vertically, resulting in deliberate overlaps between the light lines. The arrangement of the continuous rows guides customers from the entrance area into the store to the individual product areas. The LUPO spotlight modules integrated into the strip lighting can be used to create accents at selected locations, while a track-mounted spotlight system was chosen for the actual shelf walls to provide excellent illumination of the goods. Floodlights provide uniform ambient lighting, while the LUPO accent spotlights create individual highlights. VLDF-F linear luminaires arranged in track provide general lighting for the refrigerated cabinets. While all other areas of the store are illuminated with a colour temperature of 3000 Kelvin, this area with its cool 5000 Kelvin can be seen from afar and makes it easier to find your way around the large, spacious store. In the cosmetics area, radiant track lighting emanates from the consultation counter, with spotlights illuminating all areas of the very freely arranged, small-scale world of goods. In the fashion area, LUPO and KARO spotlights in track provide lighting accents.
