St Giles Cathedral: interior lighting
Chandeliers suspended at the centre of each bay contain multiple circuits, spreading light downwards for worship and upwards to illuminate the surfaces and details that reveal the story of the building. This installation limits cable routes, mounting points and physical intervention.
Designed in collaboration with dpa lighting consultants and Arup Scotland. The chandeliers were made by Mike Stoane Lighting Ltd. Completed in 2009

St Giles Cathedral: Thistle Chapel Lighting
The chapel, opened in 1911, was designed by Sir Robert Lorimer and contains fine work by leading craftsmen of the period.
The interior lighting has been replaced with a new installation using LED fittings, improving illumination and efficiency while ensuring that the light sources are located discreetly and the rewiring avoids disturbance of the delicate carved joinery.
