Victoria Station

In developing a new lighting system for Victoria Station in London, Holophane worked closely with Network Rail and English Heritage to create a scheme that addresses efficiency, performance and aesthetic requirements, to suit the architecture and space. 

The solution uses a combination of 1 x 400W and 2 x 400W ‘Egg’ luminaires with metal halide lamps, giving 75% downlight and 25% uplighting of the architectural roof structure. These luminaires also underwent rigorous testing to ensure there would be no falling debris in the event of an explosion in the station. The Egg fittings are combined with Prismashield anti-vandal fluorescent luminaires and Seattle floodlights for directional lighting. 

The lighting at the station is on 24 hours a day, so to achieve maximum energy efficiency the larger Egg fittings have been linked to a HOLOS 2 lighting control system to dim in response to daylight and minimise energy consumption during the day.
