Choice Of Luminaire
The choice of luminaire will be determined by the usage of the space. In primary school multi-function halls, surface or suspended luminaires, such as the %Visio Sport% may be suitable because the wide distribution provides good cylindrical illumination and illuminates the walls and ceiling creating a bright, welcoming environment. If a recessed luminaire is required, the %SkyDome% provides a similar distribution.
