Ossett Town Hall is a municipal building in West Yorkshire, England. This grade II listed building officially opened in 1908 and is used as the headquarters of Ossett Borough Council. The hall was designed by Walter Hanstock and Son of Batley in the Renaissance style, a grand and beautiful feat of architecture.
With a strong history of bringing heritage buildings to life, LITE was approached by Ossett Borough Council to deliver a dynamic lighting scheme for Ossett Town Hall to beautifully illuminate the building in the evenings. Dynamic facade lighting would also allow for the building to shine in different colour schemes to celebrate national events and promote awareness days.
LITE Architectural was appointed to design, supply, install and commission the exterior lighting scheme for the project. LITE recommended a number of solutions from their market-leading portfolio to meet the design brief, including colour-changing LED luminaires, versatile fixtures with options for wallwash and floodlighting, and high-performance linear LED luminaires for grazing, accents and floodlighting. Each luminaire offers a choice of optics of colour temperature and colours, from dynamic white to RGBW.
The fixtures were installed at each side of the hall’s clock face, and alongside the upper windows and arches to cast light upwards and illuminate the top of the building from both the front and side views.
The council now has full control over the colour-changing settings, giving them the ability to create light shows in different colours for awareness days and holidays such as Remembrance Day and Pride Month, as well as setting the lighting to either a cool or warm white to create a welcoming ambience for people visiting and walking by during the evenings.
