The Heritage Services section of Bath & North East Somerset Council has specified Sill lighting at the Roman Baths in the city of Bath. Heritage Services managers needed to replace expired lighting and to conserve energy while at the same time improving interpretation and making a visit to the site a more dynamic experience. Designers at Sill used the company’s 020 series projectors, which are compact in size and can be used to produce different optical distributions.

A new exterior secondary reflector system has been launched by Sill Lighting. The 545 Fumay system comprises a column-mounted compact Sill 421 series projector with a 150W HIT Powerball lamp projecting light onto a batwing distribution 545 series secondary reflector for glare-free lighting. Made in diecast aluminium throughout, it uses the company's high performance optics for light protection onto the secondary reflector. An asymmetrically ribbed aluminium reflector creates a controlled batwing distribution with minimal glare.

As an IP68 rated luminaire, the Pracht Tubis from Sill Lighting is completely waterproof and is designed for a number of applications. The Tubis luminaires have a 90mm diameter tubular housing which can be specified either in impact resistant clear polycarbonate, impact resistant opalised PMMA Prachtopal, or acid and alkali resistant clear glass.

Buried uplighters from Sill Lighting are playing a key role in illuminating the plaza area of 30 At Mary Axe, winner of the 2004 Stirling Prize. Over 50 of Sill?s 480 series buried uplighters illuminate the ?A? frame columns around the perimeter of the building, which is a major element of the plaza lighting scheme. As well as illuminating the covered arcade, the uplit structure provides reflected light to the area around the building. This contributes to the lighting concept for the plaza, which was to avoid cluttering the space with light columns. The fittings were specified as the scheme required a shallow recess fitting with adjustable optics that could take a range of reeded glass and louvre accessories. This was essential to overcome restrictions of the mounting positions for the buried uplights in relation to the columns which were caused by building structure constraints, both above and below ground. The customised fittings use 35W CDM-T lamps and have a blue trim for decorative effect in the ground.
