XYLUX LR4 is a non-maintained luminaire and XY-VEX is available as either maintained or
non-maintained, with both being utilised as part of the Wilmott Dixon installation. The
XYLUX LR4 features specifically designed snap-in optics and its compact design makes it
ideal for a variety of interior applications including corridors, stairwells and open plan office
space. Each lamp head on the XYLUX LR4 contains an integrated bi-colour indicator
system and test switch and 500mm wiring loom, whilst recessed mounting brackets allow
for quick and easy on-site installation.
Mackwells XY-VEX architectural 3 hour LED exit signs, in both maintained and nonmaintained versions, designed for fast fix installations that allows wiring to be complete
before decoration, were also chosen for the project. Available with a choice of technology
options which includes DALI, the XY-VEX incorporates high performance LEDs to provide a
50,000 hour life.

in harmony with all of the general lighting in the building, which is also powered via
category cable.
N-light EC is a fast and simple
approach to installing emergency
lighting as all products are connected
via a plug-in category cable,
eliminating wiring errors and N-light
software assists in the commissioning
phase and simple reporting of the
emergency system. This reduces the
impact on personnel and resources as N-light software provides the ability to setup
automatic testing and reporting to ensure the system is maintained and monitored in line
with the latest safety standards and regulations.
