The Lee Valley Ice Centre, reopened in June 2023 following a £30 million investment from the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, and with support from the London Borough of Waltham Forest, now boasts Callisto, the flagship luminaire from Luceco.

Lee Valley, the only venue of its kind in south-east England offering state of the art dual Olympic-sized ice rinks, a fully equipped gym and dynamic fitness studios, now boasts a complete lighting solution thanks to the lighting, electrical and power giant, Luceco, with the company’s Dimmable Callisto illuminating the venue’s ice rinks, along with LuxPack, Climate Extra, Platinum, Contour, Celeste, LuxPanel and emergency lighting.

Callisto, a contemporary linear LED surface mounted luminaire, offers over 100,000 hours of maintenance free, operational life and provides an efficacy of 135 Llm/cW, with lumen output variants ranging from 11,000lm up to 32,000lm.

It benefits from IK10 rating so can be used in semi-industrial applications as well recreational and sports facilities, offering both wide and narrow optical light distribution.

The gym at Lee Valley, along with the studios are now lit with a combination of recessed 600 x 600 LuxPanels and contemporary suspended Contour luminaires with the entrance hall displaying Platinum Downlighters.

As with Callisto, these luminaires are available as fixed output, DALI dimmable, emergency back-up variants and Luceco’s Wireless Lighting Controls, Platform.

The venue’s auditoriums are illuminated with linear LuxPack, benefitting from quick slide release tabs for fast and easy installation of the plug and play hinged LED diffuser and stairs lit with Celeste, a stylish yet robust bulkhead luminaire providing a backlit halo effect which are ideal for stairwells and corridors.

Luceco Project Manager, Ryan Taylor said,

“Front Five Building Services installed the luminaires, they requested a fit for purpose lighting solution that was energy efficient and in line with Lee Valley’s carbon footprint and sustainability requirements.

“Cost effective lighting was an essential element for this state-of-the-art leisure facility and Callisto was perfect for this environment.”
