KSLD’s brief was to create thematically appropriate lighting for the exhibitions in each gallery responsive to the award winning architectural form of the building. This complex brief required a highly considered response. This included, amongst other things, a specification of a restricted number of lamp and fitting types: specific fittings that provide relative ease of maintenance including solid-lock allowing lamps to be changed without losing focus. In the Thames Gallery a background water ripple effect plays across the ceiling from the display units. A cooler liquid-like ambience was provided in the island display from colour sleeve fluorescent fittings: these coloured elements unify general illumination accentuating the less regimented, flowing circulation of this gallery. Cased elements are lit using specifically developed locking fibre-optic fittings. In this gallery, track fittings were modified to work with the steeply angled track within the original light baffle. The unique elongated boats in the Rowing Gallery are suspended from specially designed structural fins providing locations to integrate fittings with spread lenses. The exhibition units provide locations for graphic sticks on plug-in points. These points are used as a graphic element within the case design allowing a flexibility of location. The elongated fittings are used to create focused, elemental lighting of the boat forms, graphics and related objects. The Henley Gallery houses a more formal, relic-based exhibition lit in some senses privately to highlight the revelation when approaching objects. The Steam Yacht “Eva” is lit from below by in-ground fittings with blue filters again suggestive of water. Cases are lit with fibre-optic supplied with the cases. Double-headed AR111 fittings light major objects from track and fittings on drop rods light the graphic panels. Controlled conservation levels and the requirement to allow large scale audio-visual presentation were key considerations in fitting selection and dimmed levels.
