When JRA decided they were going to refurbish their offices, they evaluated ORTO at Spectral’s show space in Clerkenwell and then trialled it at their offices in Southwark street. Spectral ORTO features specially designed die cast corner joints which are not only extremely stable, but allow some individualization enabling you to choose from a range of finishes; chrome, matt nickel-plated or in a contrast colour to suit the corporate colour palette. JRA chose chrome and white finish to complement their stylish and refined open area spaces.

Freestanding uplighters enable ceilings to be uncluttered and keep installation costs to a minimum.  Spectral ORTO can easily be unplugged and moved to a new location. It features a built-in sensor which balances the amount of daylight present and adjusts the artificial light accordingly.  However,  this feature can be manually overridden via a touch panel located on the column of the fitting,  enabling individual control. In addition, in order to optimise energy efficiency,  when staff leave the working area ORTO has a sensor that dims the light down to 10%.

The new Spectral ORTO up-lights were selected by JRA so that we would keep our studio ceilings as free as possible and allow the Victorian cast iron columns to be expressed. The uplighters provide both task lighting for the workstations and uplighting for the overall ambience of the office. The uplighters can be operated on PIR’s or dimmed by individual team members. The RIDI fittings are elegantly designed, energy efficient, and have proved to be very popular with our team.’
