ILLUMAPANEL FR® Client - Evans Turner DESIGNED TO ILLUMINATE. BUILT TO WITHSTAND ILLUMAPANEL FR® is a unique and innovative range of ultra-slim, fire-rated LED light panels that are designed to illuminate your spaces more efficiently and built to withstand the toughest elements and environments. They are manufactured in the UK via a patented construction process and tested to the highest standards and certification. ILLUMAPANEL FR® was designed and created in response to an increasing niche requirement in the market and has numerous applications that include - signage, wall lighting, escalator lighting, poster illumination and skirting lighting. The ILLUMAPANEL FR® units feature an energy efficient LED light sheet encapsulated in a stainless steel housing with a toughened laminated glass diffuser. ILLUMAPANEL FR® can be manufactured to any bespoke size and shape up to a maximum of 3000mm x 1500mm Mega Glass was asked to research, develop, test and manufacture the toughend glass for the ILLUMAPANEL FR® product and future product line variations. www.megaglass.co.uk Brief: Mega Glass was selected as a part of a small, multi-disciplinary team of companies to identify the requirements and develop the glass specification for the visual element of the illumapanel product. Requirements included the need for the product to be smoke and fire rated, visually pleasing and able to diffuse light in all conditions to ensure its suitability against architect’s ‘public spaces’ requirements. The initial installation requirements were to ensure the product would be suitable for wall panels to an underground station escalator, inside lift cars and areas of high public foot-fall where heath and safety are paramount. Development: At the iGlass Technology® innovation centre, our team spent several months creating a lightweight, cost effective glass solution that allowed maximum light transmission though it and obscured any potential LED hotspots - thus creating a perfectly even light source whilst still maintaining its fire-rated properties. Various options and combinations of glass specification, thickness and diffuser levels were considered during the developmental process with extensive testing carried out at each stage to ensure relevant standards were met. Consideration to budget was also a requirement throughout the developmental process to ensure the end product could be a marketable item. Outcome: The development of a cost effective, unique, toughened laminated safety glass solution that when combined with the ILLUMAPANEL FR® would provide an ultra-slim, fire-rated LED light panel suitable to meet all health and safety requirements and be fully compliant to the highest standards of certification.
