KEY FACTS
Application: Retail
Customer: Decathlon
Location: Wandsworth, London
Global lighting manufacturer Havells
Sylvania has successfully completed a
project in one of the world’s largest
sporting goods retailers, Decathlon.
Syl-Line HSX units have been installed
to provide high performance light,
reflecting the top of the range sports
products found within the south
London store.

As part of Decathlon’s expansion
programme, Havells Sylvania was
approached by designers Swann Lighting
and challenged with providing lighting
equipment to the Wandsworth store in
the Southside Shopping centre. Quality
of light and rapid installation is of the
upmost importance in a retail space. To
achieve this and the desired lighting
performance, which includes optics,
illumination and glare a combination of
Lighting designer: Swann Lighting
Installer: Ciexbe
KEY OUTCOMES
– High performance lighting solution
– High quality of light
– Quick and simple installation
the Syl-Line HSX units and the 3.4m SylLine trunking was installed. Showcasing
cycling, running and outdoor equipment
meant the light level on the shop floor
had to be good, whilst minimising
energy consumption and heat output.
All lighting had to be quick and easy to
install, use a trunking backbone system
and have the option for integrated
emergency lighting and DALI dimming.
Charlie Brooks, Managing Director of
Ciexbe, comments: “Installation is
ultimately driven by costs and speed and
for this particular project, Havells Sylvania
was great on costs. It’s a great bulky
product. When the trunking arrived, we
put it up straight away and powered it up
then, when the lights arrived, we added
them in and within hours we had
illuminated the whole store. On this
project, Havells Sylvania was perfect.
Initially I was quite scared because they are
a large company, however they really
cared. When they told us the lights were
going to be delivered to site, they were
delivered within the hour – it was perfect."
HSX Syl-Line is a sleek, unobtrusive design,
consisting of a one-piece module which
considerably increases speed of installation,
whilst reducing the complexity against
traditional trunking systems. The first stage
of the installation requires the supply to be
pulled into the end fitting. The trunking
can then be fixed to the free hung
suspension and secured with a mechanical
lock, with the luminaire then being
presented to the trunking. The HSX Sylline, on average, offers 50% energy
savings versus traditional trunking systems.
“Previous installations with the Syl-Line
have been tremendously successful, and
this is testament to the quality of the HSX
Syl-Line units,” comments Nick Clark,
International Business Director at Havells
Sylvania. “The Wandsworth Decathlon
store was a unique project and a great
challenge for all involved. We are proud to
have delivered a great product with
fantastic energy saving benefits to help
Decathlon meet the needs of this project.”
