Auckland, New Zealand

City officials decided to solve these issues by highlighting the building's classical architecture with an attractive system of white LED lights. Nighttime renderings of the proposed lighting convinced all parties that an LED lighting system from Philips Color Kinetics would be the best replacement for the building's metal halide fittings.

As the building is protected by both the New Zealand Historic Places Trust and Auckland Council, designers took considerable care when installing new mounting brackets and concealed cabling for the lighting system. iW Blast Powercore and iW Graze Powercore (now specified using iW Graze MX Powercore) fixtures were chosen for their efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and are controlled with an iPlayer 3 controller.
