On May
9th, 2006 Mountain Equipment Coop celebrated the grand
opening of their 11th store- a 15,000 square foot
facility in Victoria BC. As with the past number of
stores, all the lighting is Canlyte product.
This particular job was more challenging
because MEC wants their stores to be bright yet the
ceiling was only 14 feet high!
Canlyte needed a lensed fixture
in T5HO, so the Cornwall factory provided the TH
Director in a modified format for the job.The
fixtures provide excellent vertical illumination on
the merchandise with enough uplight so the store does
not have a cave-like feeling. Two lamp units were
used in the retail spaces and single lamp units were
used in the back storage areas.
Impact lighting is provided
using Lightolier 70W metal halide ED-17P Lytespot
(8388EAL) in conjunction with T5HO PowerWash
wall washers (9476AL
& 9480AL).
Fitting rooms are lighted with Lightolier 4X9
Matrix. All
in all, the power density in this store is under 2
Watts per square foot! And the lighting has been accomplished
with only 2 different lamp types making maintenance
so much easier for store staff.
The store staff and project manager
were all very pleased with the lighting. MEC has applied
for LEED certification and is expecting to be awarded
LEED Silver on this project
