LED Lighting Installation at Fujitsu

Work Carried Out

Our client’s site has a number of data halls and as part of their continued improvement of the site and its ongoing improvement in energy efficiency they upgraded their lighting systems across all data halls.

As part of the upgrade, the data halls lighting was upgraded to LED with a new lighting control system. The luminaires were upgraded to a new energy efficient luminaire controlled from a new Rako control system. The Rako control system not only had to control each data hall separately but the client wanted a central control hub in their boardroom which overlooks the data halls so they can switch each data hall from the board room to show potential clients the data space from the glazed boardroom.

As part of the upgrade the local power distribution system was upgraded due to its age to a new Klik lighting system with new local power to each luminaire.

The lighting system was redesigned to meet current standards as part of the upgrade.

Project Challenges & Requirements

  1. High security data centre, limited access and information to build our proposal
  2. Data hall highly congested with customer data racks
  3. High level work (10m)
  4. Programme with no allowance for extended time in each data hall.
  5. Continuous escort to a large installation team
  6. High reliability of site team for access equipment, constricting our ability to control the project work flow
  7. Old ceiling grid system with limited luminaire options that would fit the ceiling grid system.

Project Results/Outcomes

A brighter, more energy efficient lighting systems providing reduced running costs and a more aesthetically pleasing environment for their current and new customers. A fully functional emergency lighting systems providing an enhanced life safety systems for the data centre users.
