This project demonstrates
the value that a good lighting design can provide, when working with
a limited budget. A balance had to be struck between providing an aesthetically
pleasing interior, where there were many features crying out to be lit,
and the need to provide an appropriate level of functional downlighting
to the Nave and Choir, considering that many of the congregation required
a high level of light to read from.
Energy efficient linear fluorescent lighting was used to express the
window openings at high level and the Altar wall, which was uplit with
concealed lighting, to provide a visual termination to the interior.
Of particular decorative note was the large painted frieze above the
pulpit and lectern, which was bathed in warm white light, from track
mounted light fixtures. The congregation had commented that before the
lighting project the frieze had been barely visible.
