Project Boston Scientific, Hemel Hempstead,

Mount Lighting worked closely with RS Response and Unispace to deliver a bespoke lighting solution for Boston Scientific’s Category B office fit-out. From over 80 Globe pendants enhancing spaces with acoustic baffles to tailored M-Line lighting flowing seamlessly through corridors, the result was a high-performance scheme built around flexibility, function, and architectural precision.

Boston Scientific, a global leader in biotechnology and biomedical engineering, needed a lighting scheme that delivered on form and function. The project was a Category B office fit-out, and Unispace, the main contractor, was looking for lighting that would elevate the workspace while supporting its acoustic and architectural features.

RS Response, the electrical contractor, chose Mount Lighting based on a strong history of successful collaboration. They knew we could deliver something tailored, technical, and on point.

However each space came with its own set of challenges. In the office, meeting rooms, and canteen, the brief called for Globe suspended lighting that would sit comfortably alongside acoustic baffles. These fittings needed to create a productive atmosphere without compromising on clarity or acoustic performance – a balance crucial in LED office lighting design.

Corridors and circulation areas required a bespoke M-Line lighting design – sleek, architectural, linear lighting – to guide flow and add structure to open-plan zones. Each fitting had to work with the existing suspended metal ceilings and integrate smoothly with pre-existing presence detectors.

With experience in complex fit-outs, deep knowledge of on-site needs, and the ability to customise as required, we provided the flexibility and precision this project demanded.

The Highlights

Globe - Suspended LED Pendant Our Globe pendant brings soft style with serious impact, which is why over 80 were used in Boston Scientific’s offices. Available in two sizes (400mm and 450mm) and a choice of finishes, it’s the go-to for standout feature lighting. With a warm opal diffuser, 3K and 5K options, and integral control gear, it delivers both atmosphere and performance. Whether mounted on a track, ceiling rose or directly to the ceiling, The Globe fits the space – and the spec. Add in dimming, emergency and Casambi wireless control options, and you’ve got flexibility built in. Stylish. Smart. Sorted. M-Line - Bespoke Linear LED Lighting Push the boundaries with M-Line – our British-made LED linear lighting system that lets your lighting do more. From recessed to surface-mounted, straight continuous runs to custom shapes, M-Line is built to flex around your vision. Choose your profile, your finish, your mounting style – then layer in smart control options like Casambi for total flexibility at your fingertips. Whether you’re lighting individual work zones or running seamless lines through open-plan spaces, M-Line delivers a sharp, architectural look with zero compromise. Linear lighting redefined. M-Line 54 - Recessed Low Glare Linear Lighting Ideal for task-oriented environments, the M-Line 54’s low glare microprismatic diffuser ensures uniform, controlled illumination, helping to support UGR<19 compliance for visual comfort. Its aluminium profile, available in 15 standard lengths and bespoke configurations, made it adaptable to the existing ceiling design for this project. With high-performance European-brand LED drivers, dimmable options, and compatibility with the Casambi wireless system, the retrofit achieved both functionality and modern efficiency

Project Conclusion

For the corridors across both floors, Mount Lighting supplied bespoke lighting M-Line light fittings, tailored to align seamlessly with the building’s suspended SAS metal ceilings. The lighting system used standard surface/suspended M-Line lights, custom-configured to suit the shape and flow of the circulation spaces.

Each unit came clearly labelled and packaged to meet the accompanying installation drawings. These included everything the contractor needed: section lengths, section numbers, locations for presence detectors, and emergency lighting points – all neatly laid out and cross-referenced with a product schedule. It wasn’t just a lighting system. It was a system designed for ease, especially on site.

Here is what Steve Langabeer, Project Manager at RS Response had to say: “We’ve worked with Mount Lighting on a number of projects now – and it’s always a smooth process. One of the challenges with this install was the suspended M-Line system running through the corridors. The lights were specific geometric patterns and came with a fair few components, but Mount Lighting made it easy”.

“They gave us fully labelled drawings, including everything from section numbers to detector and emergency locations, plus a matching schedule for the boxes. Their joining system is well designed – contractor-friendly and straightforward to put together. That kind of support made a real difference. We’re really pleased with the end result.”
