PROBLEM

This facility was built to make an impact for players, fans and the wider Hills community. The project needed a wide range of products. The specifications were vast, ranging from coloured luminaires to safety exit signs to physio and gym lighting. It required both off-the-shelf and
custom-manufactured options to suit each specific space. And some of the lighting needed to meet strict lighting standards and compliance. The contractor needed a partner who could manage the technical complexity and offer a wide selection.
