Paddington Library

Sylvania lights up learning at Paddington library

Paddington Library in central London provides a vital community service for people of all ages as a place to study, read and access the internet. Working on behalf of Westminster Council, and alongside Project Managers Amey and Install Contractor MEC, leading lighting provider Sylvania specified its new smart lighting solution SylSmart to provide a complete lighting upgrade at the library.

CASE STUDY

The library now benefits from an intelligent, efficient and powerful SylSmart lighting system. The extensive collection of books, newspapers, learning materials for students and computers are now displayed in clean, crisp lighting, helping Library users to concentrate in high quality lighting.

The SylSmart system from Sylvania proves an incredibly efficient option. SylSmart uses the latest technology to detect human presence and natural light, adjusting the light levels to only emit exactly what is needed. This ability is a great benefit to a space with fluctuating footfall levels and ensures the library can run as efficiently as possible. In order to gain funding for council work, the demonstrable payback period of under five years including maintenance, or under eight years on energy alone, was vital for Paddington Library.
