DESIGN CHALLENGE
How To Safely Light High Traffic Corridors And Common Spaces Without Recessed Can Lighting The building’s modular construction technique utilized concrete ceilings for corridors, limited the use of recessed can lighting in high traffic areas.
SOLUTION
ALVA’s unique combination of high light output, vandal resistance, and clean, modern design.
The Panoramic corridor egress lighting is provided by ALVA Lighting’s high output LED Betty wall sconces, providing both a decorative accent as well as the primary corridor illumination. ALVA’s Betty Wall sconce can light a 50’ corridor with less than 30 watts of electricity.
Vandal Resistant & Safe
Alva’s vandal resistant resin shades are virtually indestructible. Made from environmentally friendly, translucent resin with embedded fabric & natural materials, Alva shades create ambiance while providing excellent impact strength/chemical resistance for high traffic dormitory common areas. Shades are 100% recyclable, and made from 40% post-consumer recycled content.
ALVA’s healthcare grade resin shade material allows for daily cleaning with disinfectant or diluted bleach should the facility be used for temporary quarantining purposes
Large Scale Lighting Options for Exterior
ALVA’s architectural scale outdoor luminaires provide both lighting and an interesting architectural element for the façade.
