Jbit Does It Again
January 24, 2011 We have just finished one of the most challenging projects we have ever undertaken. The client gave us the freedom to experiment and push the limits of technology integration, lighting design and energy conservation techniques.
The biggest challenge we faced was on the user device interaction software, the client had requested a user interface for his house similar to the one used on his Yacht. This meant that we had to redesign our current software to meet this need. Software that is normally used in Yachts tend to be proprietary and therefore it meant that we had to develop our own version of the software from scratch and in 2 months!! If that is not a challenge then i don’t know what is :-)).
The wow factor of the lighting design was provided by installing 228 of he new Philips SSL iW Cove Power LED luminaries in the corridors, walk-in closets, as well as in the entrance lobby. Unlike conventional white light fixtures, iW Cove Powercore allows color temperature control within the range of 3000K to 6500K, offering variable atmosphere with the simple push of a button. They have end to end locking connectors for the continuous streams of light which compliment the sleek contemporary interior design of the house.
What we have learnt from this project will be used in all future projects that Jbit will undertake. Pictures from this project will be posted on this website soon. We would like to thank the family for giving JbIT the opportunity to work on their dream house.
I would also like to thank my team who without their tireless efforts of working 14 hour days, this project would never have come to its successful conclusion. You guys are simply the best.
