Finbarr Galvin, County Cork
Tamlite Lighting created an aesthetically stunning showroom in County Cork car dealership, Finbarr Galvin Ltd.
Finbarr Galvin Ltd is a family run car dealership, founded in 1975 in County Cork. The business recently expanded from its dual Skoda and Seat dealership to a second location, selling a wide range of used cars.
This second site, in Bandon, County Cork, was completely refurbished with a contemporary, premium style. It provides customers with a “new car” atmosphere and level of customer service when purchasing a pre-owned vehicle.
The lighting system throughout the building was overhauled and upgraded to bring the best out of the showroom. Tamlite Lighting were commissioned to deliver the lighting solution, and supplied luminaires for the showroom, building entrance and outdoor spaces.
Lighting for Retail
Tamlite offered a range of luminaires to Finbarr Galvin Ltd. They selected the REVO SPORT, with its superior optical performance, this luminaire is designed with a wide range of beam angles ideal for the project. The carefully selected optics were chosen to suit the showroom, putting the focus on the cars, rather than on the ground.
The REVO was also chosen for its sleek, cutting-edge aesthetic style. It has an air of quality to the showroom, complementing the prestige car brands on offer. The Car Centre is designed to reach more high-end brands and customers. Therefore, it required a lighting solution to match.
In many ways, the REVO was the perfect luminaire for illuminating prestige cars at the showroom. It combines its innovative aesthetic design with outstanding performance and powerful light engine under the bonnet.
The GENEVA luminaire was also used on certain areas of the wall within the showroom. Its unique design complimented the room well, and it's low level uplight effect accentuated the architecture well.
Emergency Lighting
The REVO SPORT, range includes an integral emergency lighting version. This ensures the escape route out of the building is illuminated in the event of an emergency or a loss of mains power, in accordance with BS 5266.
Utilising an integrated emergency lighting system was crucial for Finbarr Galvin Ltd. As vital emergency lighting was installed throughout the building, there was no need for dedicated fittings, maintaining the visual aesthetic.
