Lighting projects for Listed, Conservation or Heritage buildings

Find out how Smart Systems UK can illuminate your historic places and spaces

Since the dawn of the new millennium, Smart Systems UK has been at the forefront of developing smart and sustainable lighting solutions for a wide variety of clients; from the smallest of installations to complete project management on vast construction sites.

Even where lighting design needs to work within strict design and décor criteria, we’re able to find solutions that retrofit existing luminaires and / or comply with latest regulations and standards of illumination and means of escape.

The Art Deco Retrofit

A few years ago, we were approached to bid for a substantial contract at a large development of upscale Art Deco apartments in south west London. This private complex comprises over 200 dwelling units, each connected via staircases, private walkways, and garden pathways.

Each building is part of a landmark Arts and Crafts development, with conservation area or heritage listings, of which lighting fixtures are an integral part.

Our role was to preserve the integrity of each luminaire whilst replacing fluorescent lamps and manual switches with a full suite of new LED technology including sensor switching and emergency lighting.

This retrofit saves the landlords (and their tenants) some 66% on energy costs and a significant reduction in maintenance charges and stairwell downtime.

Lighting that sets the mood – in any location

Whether you’re looking for a commercial lighting solution for permanent mains connection, or a wireless solar solution for campsites, farms and remote locations, the team at Smart Systems are the experts in finding you the perfect method of illuminating your space.

Our engineers can work with your property or facilities managers to incorporate retrofitting or arrange new installations to meet your exacting specifications and to ensure compliance with safety standards in your location.
