Northern lights - Enlightened Issue 15

The real challenge the space presented was the risk of vibration noise. Looking at solutions already in place on other ships, we were not happy with the ‘fill it with silicone’ solution that seemed to be offered.

This resulted in us engineering and developing fixings that were designed to last, easy to install and had no chance of working loose due to vibrations.

The main feature pendants used mirror polished stainless trim plates. These were a cost-effective way of doubling the impact of the fitting. The low ceiling height made this vital in the large public areas where presence was most needed. The use of incandescent G9 lamps was not only practical for the existing circuitry but the lamps also suited the warm copper and brass tones in the space.
