Aurora opens new Ireland showroom

The centre, which is now fully open, features an interactive facility giving lighting designers, electrical contractors and product specifiers the chance to ‘road test’ and understand the very latest technology.
 
The Dublin facility itself is a perfect example of the effectiveness of low-energy lighting. Even with every light switched on, the showroom displays run on 400w and the rest of the 6,500sqft facility runs off just 1.5kw: less than your fridge at home.
 
Taking the company’s popular Aurora Lighting Experience display (ALEX) at its UK headquarters one step further, the Dublin Showroom offers customers an invaluable opportunity to learn how a variety of light sources, colour temperatures and optics enables a variety of lighting effects to be achieved.
 
The facility features two areas – the first dedicated to Aurora’s low-energy lighting ranges Luna and Specification LED; and the second displaying the ranges of lighting fittings, power supplies and controls.
 
The low-energy lighting area allows customers to view images of completed retail, residential and commercial projects showing the different lighting effects and applications that can be achieved using modern light sources.
 
In the showroom, customers can examine the colour temperature and light output of low-energy replacements for halogen and incandescent lamps. Aurora’s new services include lighting design, energy audits and site surveys.
 
The new Dublin facility will enable Aurora to offer quicker delivery times on a wider range of key products.
 
Aurora Dublin’s, Des Duignan said: “The Dublin showroom will be an invaluable training centre for all of Ireland, where the industry can get up close and personal with the products they are specifying for their projects.
 
“There is so much misinformation around low-energy lighting. This centre will enable customers to see state-of-the art low energy products in action, understand the technology and get to grips with the technicalities of low-energy lighting.
 
“A low-energy retrofit means matching the existing set-up in a building like for like. That’s why at Dublin customers will be able to compare Aurora’s low-energy equivalents with the usual suspects. They won’t have to take our word that we’ve developed low-energy technology that matches the colour temperature and output of incandescent and halogen lamps. They’ll see it with their own eyes.”
Visit Aurora, by appointment only, in North Business Park, Finglas, Dublin, junction 5 of the M50. The showroom is less one minute from the M50 or less than 10 minutes from the M1.
