UK-based designer and manufacturer of ecolighting products, PhotonStar, has supplied its next generation lighting solutions to Two Four Productions for use on a new Channel 4 series, Future Family which will see an average family home refitted with the latest technology.
The series focuses on the need for future energy efficiency, environmental responsibility and saving time and money, whilst also highlighting future trends in technology and how cost effective they are in the real world. The house underwent a lighting makeover which included a touchpad control system, colour changing biodynamic lighting for health and energy saving LED lighting throughout.
PhotonStar supplied the latest in biodynamic lighting in selected areas in the house to boost alertness, and help to emulate a summer daylight cycle i.e. blue light to help wake in the morning, cool light to aid focus during the day and warm light to relax in the evening. In the bedroom and corridor areas of the house, PhotonStar supplied highly efficient EcoStar luminaires. Unlike LED lamp replacements, the amount and colour of the light is genuinely equivalent to a 50W halogen, and yet it only uses a fifth of the energy.
In the kitchen area, PhotonStar’s Vespertine Adjustable with the Mercury 810 light engine was installed providing a modern feel within an adjustable square illuminating the work surfaces evenly. The sitting room featured PhotonStar’s laser micro adjustable accent fittings with colour changing RGB light engines in order to emulate the daylight cycle as explained, and enhance alertness during the day and relaxation during the evenings.
