Henley River and Rowing Museum is an award-winning (The Royal Fine Arts Commission Building of the Year 1999 and National Heritage / NPI Museum of the Year 1999), unique tribute to the art of rowing, the riverside town of Henley and the life of the River Thames.

Brief
To create thematically appropriate lighting for the gallery, responding to the award-winning architectural form of the building.

 

Challenges
Extended lamp-life, long cable runs and simple dimmability.

 

Result
“We have used VoltMaster on many occasions before and its unique performance makes it ideal for use in prestige jobs such as this, where quality of light, extended lamp-life and minimised maintenance are pre-requisites” says Kevan Shaw.

 

“We used VoltMaster for the bigger groups of mono points on the display cases and exhibition walls; as well as for the lights in the structural ribs of the Rowing gallery, where we had a variable number of heads at least six metres form the transformers. We also needed to set the brightness levels on these and did not have the budget for a full dimming system. VoltMaster performed perfectly under these difficult conditions and we will continue to use it whenever required.”
