Working alongside healthcare specialists Architecten aan de Maas and installation partner Equans, the project formed part of a major refurbishment programme to replace radiotherapy equipment while placing the patient experience at the heart of the redesign.

Radiotherapy treatment rooms are highly specialised spaces, constructed with thick concrete walls to contain radiation. While technically essential, these environments can often feel clinical and intimidating.

Maastro wanted to change that.

“Nobody comes here by choice,” says Liesbeth Cloin, Manager Facility Management at Maastro. “That’s exactly why we wanted to move away from the cold, clinical feel often associated with healthcare environments. We looked at how light, colour and themed interiors could bring a sense of calm to what is, for many patients, an anxious experience.”

Each of the six treatment rooms was given its own identity, inspired by themes including water, meadows, marl and cherry orchards. Above each treatment unit, bespoke sky images were printed onto TRILUX Arimo LED panels, creating the impression of looking up into the open sky.

“These aren’t generic stock images,” Cloin explains. “They’re photographs of places our patients recognise. For a little while, they can forget where they are and instead feel connected to somewhere familiar.”

Lighting that guides and reassures

Working closely with Architecten aan de Maas, TRILUX developed a lighting concept that supports patients throughout their journey into the treatment rooms.

“From the moment patients enter the treatment area, the lighting gently guides them through the space,” explains Rafael Calis Sanchez, architect at Architecten aan de Maas.

A narrow asymmetrical Finea light line runs through the access corridor, providing subtle wayfinding while creating a calm atmosphere. Positioned slightly off-centre, it offers a more comfortable visual experience for patients being transported on beds, while working alongside Sonnos downlights to deliver balanced, even illumination.

Within the treatment rooms themselves, the lighting was equally carefully considered.

“It’s a small detail,” says Cloin, “but it makes a huge difference. Nobody wants a bright luminaire directly above them while they’re being wheeled into treatment.”

A collaborative approach

From the outset, the project relied on close collaboration between Maastro, Architecten aan de Maas, Equans and TRILUX to balance the demanding technical requirements of a radiotherapy facility with a more human-centred environment.

“Together, we looked for the right balance between functional and experiential lighting,” says Calis Sanchez.

One example was the integration of TRILUX Finea luminaires into the centre’s suspended ceiling system.

“The Finea light lines were originally designed for fixed ceilings,” adds Cloin. “Thanks to some smart adaptations, they fitted perfectly into our suspended ceiling system. I really appreciated that flexibility.”

Calis Sanchez also praised the collaborative design process.

“Marcel Jansen from TRILUX understands the way I design. He always contributes ideas and ensures the lighting complements the architecture without compromising on quality or atmosphere.”

More than lighting

The redesigned treatment rooms combine lighting, colour and artwork to create a more welcoming environment throughout the patient journey. Murals by a local graffiti artist continue each room’s theme through the access corridors, providing moments of familiarity and distraction during treatment.

“This is how we create warmth, recognition and distraction,” says Cloin. “We have patients taking photos beside the murals after their final treatment. Some even coordinate their clothes with the colours of their treatment room. I think that’s a wonderful compliment.”

The benefits extend beyond patients.

“Our staff spend much of their day working on screens,” Cloin explains. “That’s why the lighting is automatically dimmed where appropriate. It creates a calmer ceiling, reduces visual fatigue and gives us a fully programmable system that also supports our Green Deal sustainability commitments.”

Continuing to improve

Four treatment rooms have now been completed, with the experience informing future refurbishments across the centre.

“We keep learning,” says Cloin. “With every refurbishment we build on what we’ve learned before. Working with one committed lighting partner allows us to keep improving, and because we know the process so well, we can plan bespoke luminaires early and avoid unnecessary delays.”

The partnership is now extending beyond the treatment rooms, with TRILUX lighting being introduced into offices and waiting areas as part of Maastro’s wider refurbishment programme.

Calis Sanchez believes the same design philosophy should apply throughout the building.

“We want every stage of the patient’s visit to feel as comfortable as possible—from arriving at reception and spending time in the waiting area to treatment and returning home. Our aim is to create an environment that feels more like a hotel than a hospital, helping to reduce the anxiety associated with cancer treatment. Light is a crucial part of achieving that.”

For Cloin, the project’s success can ultimately be measured by its effect on patients.

“We want patients to feel safe and relaxed,” she concludes. “If lighting helps achieve that, then we’ve done our job.”.

As one of Oirschot’s most recognisable landmarks, the basilica holds deep cultural and architectural significance. However, its previous exterior lighting system had become outdated, offering limited flexibility and falling short of modern expectations for energy efficiency and light quality. The municipality sought a solution that would respect the heritage of the building while elevating its night‑time identity and reducing environmental impact.

The design brief called for a lighting system that could sensitively highlight the basilica’s architectural features, minimise light spill, and offer adaptable control. To meet these requirements, Signify, the Gemeente Oirschot and LRS Solutions collaborated closely, with LRS Solutions appointed to design and implement the central lighting control and management system.

At the heart of the new installation is the Pharos Expert controller. Expert provides an all-in-one control solution for managing the basilica’s exterior lighting. The reliable, low-power controller is compact and simple to install, with intuitive commissioning software offering curated lighting presets and familiar calendar-based scheduling for scene selection, ideal for heritage projects where subtle looks and predictable playback are the primary requirements.

To overcome the challenges of cabling restrictions around the historic site, the control system incorporates a wireless DMX solution from LumenRadio. This approach ensured a stable and resilient control infrastructure without intrusive installation work, preserving the integrity of the basilica’s surroundings.

The new lighting allows the municipality to tailor the appearance throughout the year, from traditional, understated daily illumination to special scenes for cultural events, religious celebrations and community moments. Time-based scheduling ensures energy-efficient operation, automatically adjusting the lighting to seasonal and environmental changes.

Johan Burggraaf, Manager for Projects & Services at LRS, commented: “Sint-Petrusbasiliek is a defining feature of Oirschot, and this project was about giving it a lighting system that honours its heritage while embracing modern technology. With Pharos Expert, we were able to deliver a flexible, reliable and centrally managed solution that supports both the architectural character of the building and the needs of the municipality.”

Bas Hoksbergen, Business Development Director at Pharos, added: “This project demonstrates how thoughtful lighting control can enhance a historic landmark without compromising its authenticity. Expert offered the right balance of simplicity, capability and long-term reliability. We’re proud to see Sint-Petrusbasiliek illuminated in a way that celebrates its significance for the community.”

With its new lighting control system in place, Sint-Petrusbasiliek has been re‑established as a striking night‑time focal point. The project showcases how modern lighting and control technologies can sensitively support heritage architecture, creating a meaningful and adaptable presence within the public realm.

The festival, which started in 2024 and is growing and developing each year, was staged in the gardens of the majestic and beautiful 11^th-century Château de Grillemont at La Chapelle-Blanche, south of Tours in France’s Indre-et-Loire region – a perfect summer environment for hosting the “Island of DJs”.

Loic worked closely with Corentin Poirier, the festival’s creative & executive director and founder, who designed the Maatea Stage’s dramatic scenography, based on a tall LED screen setup, which, together with the lighting, was based on the imaginative thematic concept of fire and rock, with the goal of creating a striking contrast between day and night atmospherics.

During the day, the need was for subtle lighting to highlight the depth and overall scenic texture created by the careful blending of stage and lighting designs, allowing the stage geography to stand out.

At night, the stage was transformed into a completely different space by the GigaPointe beams and their powerful and spectacular effects. The fixtures were installed in six vertical columns of eight fixtures, equidistantly spanning the stage and delivering a hugely impactful look and atmosphere, with video content featuring erupting volcanoes “reinforcing the visual universe,” explained Loic.

Loic stated that the organisers sought something unique and different in this design: “The main challenge was to create this new and different world, one that broke from a typical EDM festival stage design, looked distinctive and individual while still following a defined theme.”

This is the second time Loic – a lighting professional with 10 years’ experience – has lit this event, and the second time he had used Robe’s amazing, new, highly dynamic GigaPointe fixture, officially launched in February at the ISE 2026 Expo.

Tours-based rental company Multi Scéni – the lighting, audio and video equipment supplier to this event – has recently made this investment in GigaPointes, which were delivered by Robe France.

Loic has been an enthusiastic long-time user of Robe’s MegaPointe fixtures in his designs – choosing the fixtures for their versatility and scope. So, when he knew the GigaPointe would be available for this event, “it naturally stood out as the ideal choice!”

He comments on the GigaPointe’s “extremely powerful” laser source output, which “ensured that we could make a strong visual impact even over long distances.” He also appreciates its speed of movement, as well as the excellent array of new gobo and prism effects, which can be used to imagine a myriad of cool looks and scenes onstage.

One of the most important things for designing and programming EDM shows is to have a vast choice of distinctive looks – so the audience does not start seeing repeated scenes throughout the event… and this is exactly what GigaPointe offers.

The layout of the six columns of GigaPointes was instrumental to utilising the entirety of the stage dimensions – both horizontally and vertically – a geometric harmony that provided a balanced visual presence of all elements, with the fixtures a natural integrator/interpreter between the scenic fabrics and video surfaces.

Loic enjoyed many features of the GigaPointe, commenting that “the integrated rotating bar is particularly interesting, as it offers so many highly dynamic effects possibilities,” together with all the other features making it a potent, contemporary multi-purpose fixture ideal for all types of shows and events.

The festival’s logo, installed at the top of the structure, was also highlighted with two Robe iFORTES – rigged on the Layher structure – and another two iFORTES were used to front light the artists. iFORTE was chosen for this because it is a powerful fixture with excellent framing shutters and therefore perfect to pick out the detail of the 12-metre-wide logo, which was positioned 14 metres up on the structure.

Two Maatea Stage artists – Timmy Trumpet and Trym – brought their own lighting operators this year, who also appreciated the GigaPointes, and the rest were all lit by Loic and his team, including colleague lighting operator Lucas Bussy. They worked closely with video operator Bastien Sierakowski and SFX operator Paul Dubertrand under the project management of Charlène Rodrigues.

Loic regularly notes that Robe’s product range covers multiple applications – live shows, events and concerts or architectural lighting. “I always find a suitable solution using Robe,” he states, adding that the fixtures are reliable, high-performance, and versatile tools “consistently meeting the demands of our projects.”

Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport is Anguilla’s main aviation gateway. Located close to the island’s capital, The Valley, it is an important hub for tourism and regional connectivity across the Caribbean.

The airport recently underwent a major redevelopment programme led by the Government of Anguilla. Works included a new passenger terminal, upgraded airfield infrastructure and a full apron redevelopment. New aircraft stands were also introduced to improve operational efficiency and accommodate future growth.

To illuminate the expanded apron areas, high-performance lighting infrastructure was required to provide safe visibility for aircraft movements, servicing operations and ground handling activities. The lighting design needed to achieve ICAO Annex 14 recommended lighting levels while delivering reliable long-term performance in a demanding coastal airport environment.

CU Phosco was selected by Precision ATM following the specification of raise and lower high masts within the project requirements.

The lighting system comprised six 15-metre raise and lower high masts, two fixed columns, 15 FL820-1 LED floodlights and five FL830 LED floodlights. CU Phosco also provided lighting design and mast design services as part of the project.

Selected for their safety advantages, the raise and lower high masts allow ground-level access to the luminaires without the need for work at elevated height and the subsequent need for specialist elevated access equipment or disruption to airfield operations.

Designed in accordance with ICAO Annex 14 recommendations, the lighting scheme delivers uniform illumination across the expanded apron and aircraft stand areas while helping to maintain safe operating conditions across the airfield.

The completed installation forms part of the wider transformation of Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport, with the redevelopment delivered by main contractor AECON AC. The airport officially opened in December 2025.

New LED lighting now provides reliable, high-quality illumination across key operational areas of the airfield. This ensures safe aircraft manoeuvring, apron operations and ground servicing activities. The use of modern LED floodlights also delivers excellent light quality and a long operational life that is suitable for demanding airfield environments.

By incorporating raise and lower high masts into the design, the airport benefits from safer, simplified maintenance access and reduced operational disruption during future servicing requirements, an important consideration within live aviation environments.

Dave Smith, Director, Precision ATM commented: “Delivering reliable apron lighting was an important part of the airfield lighting project. CU Phosco’s experience in high mast lighting and airfield applications helped provide a solution that met the project’s operational and maintenance requirements while aligning with the airport’s long-term expansion plans.”

White Light (WL) is proud to have supported the Watermill Theatre’s ambitious new production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, where lighting designer Jai Morjaria has delivered a bold and inventive design that transforms a compact venue into a world of spectacle.

Tasked with reimagining a much-loved musical within one of the UK’s most intimate theatre spaces, Morjaria approached the project with a clear brief to achieve the seemingly impossible. A single small stage needed to represent multiple locations while also accommodating a flying car, meaning lighting became central to how the story was told and experienced.

“We had to find a way to make a show that takes place in so many different locations exist within one small space, whilst still delivering the magic,” explains Jai.

This production differs significantly from traditional large-scale versions of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. With a cast of actor-musicians and limited space, the design relies on creativity rather than scale. Lighting plays a pivotal role in supporting illusion and enhancing the integration of puppetry, automation and set.

The Local London Electrotechnical Careers and Training Alliance (ETCA) covers East London and surrounding areas. It will support closer collaboration between employers, education partners and local decision-makers to strengthen routes into the electrotechnical sector and help more people access high-quality, work-based training.

Led by ECA and its Members and in collaboration with the Greater London CTEC, led by New City College, the ETCA will focus on practical local action to improve skills provision, support employers and build the qualified electrical workforce needed for future demand across housing, infrastructure, clean energy and digital technologies.

At the launch which took place at Barnet & Southgate College, the discussion highlighted significant challenges facing the electrotechnical workforce, with concerns that current skills capacity is not sufficient to meet future demand, including net zero and clean energy targets.

Speakers noted that while interest in apprenticeships remains strong, employers are struggling to take on new starters due to commercial pressures, tight margins and the cost of training in the early stages. The need for clearer pathways into the industry, stronger links between education and employers, and better understanding among policymakers of existing electrical training routes – including EV and solar – were also raised.

Bayley Hall, Social Value Lead at ECA Member Phoenix ME, said: “Supporting younger people does benefit us [employers] in the long run.

If you’re helping younger people when they’re at school from an early age all the way through to further education, we can then play our part as employers by making the industry an attractive place to work and supporting them via an apprenticeship and beyond, throughout their career.”

Keith Sanderson, Head of Education and Skills at ECA, said: “Electrical skills shortages are a pressing challenge, and they can only be addressed effectively when employers, training providers and local decision makers work together.

This ETCA is an important step towards creating a stronger local skills pipeline. By bringing together local contractors, education partners and the local authority, we can help ensure skills provision is better aligned with employer demand and the future needs of the electrotechnical sector.”

Chris Davies, Barnet & Southgate College CTEC Sub-Regional Lead: Local London, said: “The Local London CTEC working with ETCA represents a significant opportunity to reshape how the electrotechnical skills system responds to employer demand. The challenge isn’t simply attracting more learners into the sector—it’s creating a joined-up skills pipeline that enables more people to progress into apprenticeships and sustained employment. By aligning education, industry and government priorities, we’re building a model that is responsive to the needs of employers today while preparing the workforce needed to deliver London’s long-term growth, infrastructure ambitions and transition to a net-zero economy. We’re proud to be playing a leading role in driving that collaboration.”
