The Apivita flagship store in the centre of Athens is a fascinating showcase for lighting design<br />
Dramatic lighting<br />
The top floor of Apivita’s flagship store called for a special solution<br />
because of its low ceiling. A Barrisol stretch ceiling is used here to<br />
provide uniform and pleasant lighting. The ceiling is backlit by<br />
TALEXX EOS P212 daylight white LED modules, each comprising<br />
five TALEXXchain 511 units, instead of fluorescent lamps to achieve<br />
the necessary uniformity despite the shallow mounting depth.<br />
The overall effect is helped by the wide 140° beam angle of the<br />
light emitting diodes.<br />
Fingertip control<br />
The easy-to-use x-touchBOX from <strong>Tridonic</strong>Atco has been installed<br />
for lighting management and for selecting different lighting scenes. The<br />
ballasts can be individually controlled, faded and monitored. However,<br />
the installation is programmed to run through all the scenes automatically<br />
so there is no need for anyone to worry about controlling it. The light<br />
is switched on and off automatically to coincide with opening hours.<br />
What’s more, the window display lighting offers a different dynamic<br />
atmosphere on a Saturday evening from that on a Sunday evening.<br />
Accent lighting is provided by hand-made spotlights on the ceiling.<br />
These spotlights are equipped with low-voltage halogen lamps and<br />
electronic TE one4all transformers from <strong>Tridonic</strong>Atco. In the shop<br />
window the natural products are highlighted by RGB lighting from<br />
T8 fluorescent lamps in red, green and blue operated with digital<br />
dimmable PCA EXCEL one4all ballasts. The two additional floodlights<br />
are controlled via DALI 3-RM-C modules.<br />
Positive feedback<br />
The Apivita flagship store in Athens has been impressing customers<br />
with this successful lighting system for a year now. In view of the positive<br />
feedback the concept of exclusive lighting moods will be extended to the<br />
other Apivita stores. Natural beauty will then shine out in many different<br />
places thanks to innovative TALEXX components from <strong>Tridonic</strong>Atco.<br />
