The consulting firm, Eidra, was scheduled to move into a new office located at one of Stockholm’s most prestigious addresses. To help the office’s atmosphere match the caliber of its clientele, a reliable, flexible, and human-centric lighting control platform would be required.

Beyond its impressive lounge areas, the office features an elegant cocktail bar, an exclusive wine bar, and a spacious dining hall that rivals a fine dining restaurant in ambiance. Scheduled scenes must compliment the architect and lighting designer’s vision to uphold the luxury and exclusivity of the establishment. User control should be seamless, with options to override the scheduled scenes for special meetings and events.

Additionally, building efficiency was of high importance to the customer. The lighting control solution should take steps to optimise performance, reducing or eliminating unnecessary power consumption from lighting.

They regard Dynalite as one of the most comprehensive control systems on the market for this type of installation.

Control Department worked in close consultation with their client, enhancing their understanding of what a lighting control system could achieve.

 Effortless luxury 

The tenant has been provided with a world-class lighting control system. Where they once had to turn the lights on and off via the circuit breaker in the electrical panel, they now have a dynamic space that anticipates the needs of users.

Control Department deployed clear lighting scenarios and programming that follows a consistent logic throughout the entire building, so that the responsible on-site staff feel confident in using the system. Since the office frequently hosts events and client meetings, it is crucial for staff to have the ability to manually override the daily lighting schedule with ease.

Simple, sustainable control 

With a well-adapted profile in System Manager, facility management can manually select different preset lighting scenes for each floor. During the day, daylight sensors adjust the office lighting to ensure optimal brightness and support productivity among employees. In the evening, however, a softer, more homely ambiance is achieved.

The ability to log usage and regularly monitor the system to fine-tune it for maximum efficiency was a key priority in this project. With a service agreement and a System Manager server, Control Department enabled that.

The optimized scheduling runs like clockwork, and the staff can effortlessly adjust scenes floor-by-floor, or area-by-area based on activity.

Acknowledging that some staff have unique lighting preferences, Control Department did well to balance the creation of beautiful scenes and consistency throughout the office, with intuitive control so staff can customise their lighting experience.

Voted “Sweden’s Most Beautiful Office 2024”, and winner of the Dynalite Partner Awards “Office Application” and “Human-centric Design” categories, the impact of Control Department’s work at Eidra is undeniable.
