Reflectance
Using light reflected
from surfaces
It is vital in swimming pool lighting to make sure
reflections in the water do not inhibit lifeguards’
view of swimmers. This can be achieved by using
the ceiling’s high reflective properties to bounce
light on to the pool. Thorn’s Troika fittings can be
mounted in easy-to-maintain locations and reflect
light safely on to the task. Use of white paint helps
maximise efficiency and avoids tinting the light as
it’s reflected.

Visible smart metering
Ensuring results of energy-saving
actions can be seen
Even the simplest smart meter can highlight how much energy is being used, as it
does in this installation using Thorn’s Oracle S with the Telea controls system. This
simple communication means users can immediately understand the impact of their
lighting decisions. In most cases, users will balance the need to save energy with the
light they need for the task at hand.
