Bringing light to art is no simple task. For Moco Museum, the challenge lay in integrating modern, flexible track lighting into a heritage building while maintaining its iconic character.

 

A comprehensive lighting package, including emergency lighting, was required across all gallery spaces that would enhance the experience for visitors, all whilst working towards a tight deadline to ensure the museum could be open in time for summer tourists. Working closely with lighting designers Hoare Lea and the project contractors, Mount Lighting delivered a flexible, high-performance track lighting system that blended beautifully into Moco Museum’s refined interiors.

 

Mount Lighting’s solutions did more than light the space; they elevated the experience. Casambi wireless controls means the Moco team can adapt effortlessly to future updates, ensuring the museum evolves as dynamically as its exhibitions.

The Highlights

TRZ Zoomable Track Spotlight Our Casambi-enabled, zoomable spotlights were chosen for their versatility and sleek design. Integrated into the Multi-Track Lighting System, the spotlights discreetly conceal the control gear while delivering adjustable illumination – perfect for artwork of varying sizes and shapes. Multi-Track Lighting System A versatile three-circuit track lighting solution from Stucchi, perfect for task and accent lighting in offices, galleries, display areas, and libraries. With surface, suspended, and recessed mounting options, along with customisable connectors and colour-coordinated accessories, it offers flexibility for both linear and geometric designs. Star Tilt Adjustable Mini Downlights Offering a tilt angle of up to 30 degrees and multiple beam angles, these LED downlights ensured focused yet comfortable lighting across gallery spaces. Casambi Wireless Lighting Control Casambi wireless technology provided Moco with a dynamic, user-friendly lighting control system. Museum staff now have complete flexibility to adjust lighting on-site, catering to new exhibitions and shifting artwork placements without the need for timely or costly external support. LED Strip Tape and Profiles For subtle highlights and even light distribution, LED strips – housed in sleek aluminium profiles – added a professional finish to the space.

Project Conclusion

Louie Collinson, Technical Services Manager at OD Interiors, highlighted the successful input Mount Lighting had in the project: “Mount Lighting were a key partner on this project, collaborating seamlessly from the initial design phase through to commissioning. Their extensive product knowledge and expertise with the Casambi lighting control system were invaluable in delivering the right solution for Moco Museum. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again – in fact, they are already developing the lighting design for my current project at Buckinghamshire New University!”

Mount Lighting’s expertise and adaptable solutions brought Moco Museum’s vision to life. With adjustable lighting, flexible controls and future-ready design, the museum is now perfectly lit to inspire, today and tomorrow.
