Classic Glamour with Modern Highlights
Kemps are proud to have been instructed by LDI Lighting designers, to supply and install our Cold Cathode system in the iconic Savoy Hotel.
This luxury hotel located in the heart of the West End, theatre district of London opened in 1889 and is still considered to be the place to stay in London. The landmark hotel has 268 rooms and suites, with original Art Deco and Edwardian features throughout.
In 2007 The Savoy closed to undergo a £100 million restoration with the aim to "set new British standards for excellence in design, decor and personalised service".
The brief required Kemps to install their Cold Cathode Coveline 3C system in Warmtone 2800k colour to highlight the corridor and bedroom coves of this elegantly appointed hotel. The 700 metres of Cold Cathode lighting in Warmtone provides soft lighting creating a sophisticated ambience.
To minimise loss of revenue The Savoy had a tight deadline for re-opening and Kemps were able to reduce the on-site time by 50% using the unique Coveline 3C system, which is installed virtually tool free.
After being closed for three years, the hotel is set to re-open in October 2010 in good time for the London Olympics.
Innovative Lighting for Dublin's new Terminal
Kemps are excited to have secured an innovative project at Dublin Airport's new terminal. Working alongside renowned consultants Arup, we have been contracted by our client Mercury Electrical to supply and install in excess of 500 metres of the Cold Cathode Coveline 3C system to the new terminal.
In 2009 planning permission was sought to build a second terminal. The estimated cost of this is €600 million. It aims to handle up to 15 million passengers a year and overall it has the potential to raise passenger capacity to 35 million per annum.
This project was secured after months of careful analysis, specification checks and changes. The outcome of the briefing is for 500 metres of the Cold Cathode Coveline 3C system to be installed in Warmtone 2800k and Cobalt blue lamps.
The curvilinear building hopes to achieve an "elegant and contemporary gateway for 21st Century Ireland" of which we are very proud to be a part of. We have already supplied cove lighting in the main shopping mall and carousel area and our product will give in-direct lighting for a natural effect to achieve this stylish and modern image.
By using the energy efficient Cold Cathode system we will be able to minimize the on-site time by up to 50%, due to the virtually tool free installation. Therefore we expect to meet the deadline of completion within 2010.
Progressive Lighting for Abu Dhabi's
Unique Complex
Kemps are proud to be supplying approximately 18km of our Cold Cathode lighting system. The lighting is required for an exciting project currently underway in the UAE's Abu Dhabi.
The Middle Eastern project of 23 hectares will boast 17 office towers, 32 residential towers, a shopping mall, a hotel, showrooms and several warehouses for building materials. The project is considered to contain one of the largest Cold Cathode installations yet seen in Abu Dhabi and Kemps are delighted to be associated with it, by supplying the lighting which will run throughout this enormous site.
In 2007 UAE's Manazel Real Estate was awarded $1.1billion to construct the impressive complex and the chairman believes the 'buildings material exchange' to be the first of its kind in the Middle East and will become a hub for manufacturers, importers and suppliers of building equipment alike.
Kemps won the project after many months of discussions, site meetings and approvals to be certain of meeting the exact specifications of such a huge supply of lighting. We will be installing the lighting with Kemps local Project Manager, whom we have worked alongside before on several other projects in Abu Dhabi.
Cotroceni Shopping Mall
This new shopping mall offering top international brands and chains is Bucharest's largest commercial retail project and will be the biggest mall in Romania.
The client wanted to create an optimal shopping experience with this brand new mall and by supplying and installing approximately 4km of our Coveline lighting system Kemps were able to achieve this. The Cold Cathode lighting was placed throughout the mall in the ceiling coves, creating a modern ambience to reflect the luxury status of the mall.
