Endo Lights Freemasons Hall







Freemasons' Hall is the headquarters of the United Grand Lodge of England and the principal meeting place for Masonic Lodges in London. Grand Lodge has been in Great Queen Street since 1775; the present hall, a fine example of Art Deco architecture, is the third building on the site.

The Old Boardroom in the Freemasons' Hall has been relit by Lighting Designer Miles Pinniger in a scheme that included a number of Endo LED downlights from Crescent.To achieve the required lighting levels from the 6 metre ceiling height, some of the larger, more powerful units were utilised - eight 66W fixed, together with seven 34W adjustable units, complemented by eight Crescent CLF7002 units fitted with Bridgelux LED modules.In addition, the two existing bronze and glass chandeliers were refurbished and updated with CFL sources. These chandeliers, together with the eight wall lights are perceived as the main lighting source, partly due to the discrete nature of the downlights and their excellent glare control. A wireless control system was fitted to enable the dimming of the downlights, whilst 400 lux can be achieved at full output of both the chandeliers and downlights.

The Endo LEDZ range of LED downlights, spotlights, pendants and exterior luminaires comprises more than 700 units in sizes from 5 - 66W, an extremely comprehensive collection of LED lighting products. In addition the R36 66W units are some of the most powerful LED interior lighting fixtures in the world today.
