Taradale Anglican Church

To coincide with its 150th Jubilee, Taradale Anglican Church required a lighting solution that improved reliability and control while respecting the heritage of the building. The ageing system was replaced with energy-efficient LED luminaires from BEGA and Offspring Profiles, carefully selected to integrate within the existing architectural fabric, avoiding changes to the historic ceiling and interior finishes. A Casambi wireless control system provides simple, intuitive scene-setting for services, ceremonies, and community events, allowing different users to operate the lighting with confidence. A layered approach delivers high-quality white light for everyday use, with the flexibility to introduce colour and atmosphere when required. Discreet, concealed, and precisely aimed luminaires define key spaces and architectural elements, resulting in a robust, adaptable lighting solution that supports the church’s ongoing use.
