flex7 lighting connection and control products were recently installed in FutureMeds’ new London research site

The site consists of clinical rooms and offices, WCs and various communal areas, which required a mix of absence and presence control with networking of occupancy in communal areas. This was the first time that MI Electrical Contractors, London had worked with flex7, and they were impressed with the simplicity and ease of installation.

Ian Schooley, Director of MI Electrical Contractors, London commented ‘We at M.I Electrical Contractors installed a flex7 system for the first time as an alternative to the stand-alone systems we had previously installed. It was a good decision, the product, the operation and the continued support made it a joy to install and more importantly ended with a very satisfied client.

A point to note is like with most jobs, changes happen and when the amount of lights to be installed increased the ease of which adding flex7 units to existing masters made the upgrade seamless.

For sure we at M.I will continue to install flex7 systems going forward on all our future projects“

Clinical rooms were fitted out with absence detection which hands control over to the user, allowing them to choose when to turn lights on, and when they’re not needed. Lights still turn off automatically when the space is vacated.

Presence detection was enabled in smaller offices and WCs, which means lights will turn both on and off automatically. This option is particularly suited to areas with multiple users.

Corridors and smaller waiting areas were networked to the reception area to ensure a safe and comfortable level of lighting is maintained at all times. The large open plan admin office was also networked for occupancy. This ensures that lights won’t turn off in certain parts of the office when vacated if occupancy is still detected in other parts, thus providing a safe working space with a consistent light level for all.
