Ansell lights up Manchester offices with Vasco EVO linear luminaires

Orbit Developments has transformed a commercial office building in the heart of Manchester into a bright, modern and flexible workspace — illuminated throughout with Ansell Lighting’s Vasco EVO CCT Multi Wattage linear fittings. The redevelopment called for a lighting solution that would not only enhance the building’s contemporary design but also deliver energy efficiency, versatility and visual comfort for occupants across a range of spaces.

Throughout the office, the Vasco EVO has been installed to create a cohesive lighting design spanning open plan work areas, meeting rooms, circulation routes and breakout spaces. Suspended as continuous linear runs, the fittings deliver an elegant, uninterrupted ribbon of light that complements the building’s clean architectural lines. In open plan areas, the luminaires have also been used as task lighting directly above workstations, providing bright and comfortable illumination that supports productivity without glare.

The Vasco EVO’s selectable wattage and colour temperature options proved invaluable in tailoring the lighting to the specific needs of each space. Meeting rooms feature warmer colour temperatures to create a welcoming environment, while open work zones and corridors are set to a crisp, neutral 4000K for clarity and focus. The luminaire’s bi-directional output — distributing light both upwards and downwards — ensures ceilings remain bright and evenly lit, reducing contrast and helping the office feel open and spacious.

Ease of installation and flexibility were key factors in the specification. The Vasco EVO’s modular design allows it to be fitted as both a single feature luminaire and as part of longer continuous runs, enabling designers to use one fitting type across the entire project.

As a result, the redeveloped office now benefits from a lighting scheme that perfectly balances functionality and form. The Vasco EVO’s high efficiency, refined styling and advanced control options deliver exceptional light quality across every area of the building, creating a professional and comfortable workspace for all who use it.
