Internal and External lighting of St. Mary & St. Nicholas Church Wilton, Salisbury, Wiltshire.

The logistics and design of any works in a church is extremely difficult, with various rules to abide by. Not only the installation but the general maintenance has to receive major consideration. In this particular instance, the majority of high level internal lighting fittings can be withdrawn into the triforium roof void by means of purpose built fixing brackets. This makes lamp replacements relatively easy without the use of scaffolding or long ladders.

State of the art dimmer racks with a digital switch pack control the lighting system. Several pre-set scenes can be programmed and accessed by the push of a button. The effect is quite theatrical.

The external flood lighting was a millennium project. The design had to be sympathetic to local residents and to minimise the risk of light pollution. With four carefully selected light projectors and with correct positioning we managed to create a fantastic effect.
