Consett Academy - Phase 2

We had the pleasure of visiting Consett Academy for the second time this week, with the intention of capturing photography for the second phase of the lighting upgrade onsite.

Our products have been installed across a host of schools in the New College Durham Academies Trust, thanks to fantastic support from the Estates Compliance Coordinator who works tirelessly to maintain each site.

Work on the lighting upgrade at Consett began in May 2024, and the project is now largely completed with BELL Lighting fittings in place across the Academy. The upgrade included replacements to a host of areas, with Phase 2 largely focussing on our Mentor CCT Wattage Switchable LED Battens and our Illumina Atlas Wattage Switchable LED High Bay. Our Illumina Atlas High Bays were used within the Main Atrium, with the substantial mounting heights involved requiring a high power product which also limited glare with a uniform finish. 80 of our dimmable Mentor LED Battens were then installed within a large Sports Hall area within the Academy; the Sports Hall is also used out of hours by a partnering leisure centre, with glare limitation being a key consideration.

Our products look exceptional onsite thanks to a professional and skilled installation, and we are delighted that our products have provided consistent results across several schools within the New College Durham Academies Trust.
