Alumet columns give a finishing touch to taxi rank at new Yau Tong mall
Domain is a new Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA) shopping mall in Yau Tong. Offering 45,000 square metres of chic and trendy stores across eight floors, it has become the district’s iconic landmark. Domain’s extensive choice of shops, specialty restaurants and play facilities makes it an integrated retail, lifestyle and entertainment venue for all generations.
In addition to its 150 car parking spaces, Domain offers a large taxi rank. The lighting for this high traffic area was awarded to Thorn through a successful tender dominated by the elegant and timeless Alumet Control Indirect lighting column (140W). Having worked with the main contractor on previous projects, Thorn had already established a successful and productive relationship.
Sophisticated style, outstanding comfort
The objectives for Domain’s taxi rank were to achieve modern, indirect and low glare lighting with sophisticated style to impress shoppers and provide a heightened sense of security. Alumet Control Indirect provided the ideal solution with a unique optical design for outstanding control of light and aesthetic effects, as well as a soft white light with good colour rendering.
Providing comfort and efficiency, sets of Fresnel aluminium rings contain over 97% of upward flux from the pencil slim tubular lighting columns.Uniform levels of illuminance also conform to regulations for pedestrian areas and circulation ways (S3).
To make maintenance for HKHA easy, Alumet Control Indirect has a durable construction with an anti-graffiti and anti-scratch varnish on the clear PC diffuser to resist vandalism and weathering. The varnish is highly transparent and provides abrasive resistance and hardness combined with improved climatic and chemical resistance.
With the installation complete, HKHA is extremely pleased with the styling and quality of light achieved. Domain shopping mall offers a modern, attractively lit taxi rank.
