Walthamstow Baptist Church letter

We have just received this letter from the Reverend Neil at the Central Baptist Church, Our engineers would also like to thank the Reverend Neil and all his staff as it was a very enjoyable project to work on and everyone was so very helpful.

The upstairs balcony lighting was positioned to highlight the upstairs balconies and the roof features for the congregation in the main church. For this we used 28w energy saving white drum fittings, positioned behind the pillars. These fittings were also installed under the balconies which gave a warm light around the church, highlighting the pillars and arches.

As the organ and the surrounding wood features were original and very impressive, we decided to highlight this area with150w Son-T floods. All these were installed, including the globe fittings, with separate switching so different lighting levels and effects could be obtained.

The main challenge was to design lighting which would fit in with the décor of the church, highlight certain areas and have ease of maintenance as the height of the roof is 10 meters, with a globe height of 8 meters. We sourced 500mm diameter globe fittings and had 150w warm Light HQI Metal halide lamps installed. We then devised a pulley system, from the loft space above the main church area, so that the lights could be lowered for general maintenance and cleaning, which is a lot cheaper that erecting a tower each time.

Latest Project - Church Design & Rewire

We were asked to complete a new electrical installation for the church which included designing the church lighting. At present there were only fluorescent strip lighting to all areas including the main church and both below and above the balconies. The electrical installation had been added onto over a period of time with very few power outlets, which meant extension leads being used everywhere. The majority of the existing circuits had been run in the old imperial conduit with a mixture of VIR and PVC cables. A new 3 Phase 100amp Mains Board was installed and the electrical circuits, for the Church and surrounding rooms, were installed using Low Smoke and Fume cabling for both the small power and lighting.
