Heat Under Tension, a contemporary fitness studio near Liverpool, set out to create a lighting experience that could adapt dynamically to different workouts and moods. To bring this vision to life, NAG Electrical partnered with Ansell Lighting to design and install a flexible, colour-controlled system using the C-Cell IP20 RGB LED strip.

The C-Cell LED strip was selected for its continuous phosphor technology, which produces a seamless, dot-free light output—ideal for achieving a smooth, professional finish throughout the gym. Its RGB capability, combined with a smart controller and smartphone app, allows complete control over colour and brightness. Instructors can instantly tailor the atmosphere, switching from high-energy tones such as vivid reds and blues for intense sessions, to warm ambers and soft whites for yoga, stretching or recovery.

NAG Electrical installed the LED strips within minimalist aluminium profiles, which were suspended from the ceiling to create modern, floating lines of light across the space. The aluminium not only enhances the aesthetic but also acts as a heat sink, improving performance and longevity. The suspended design ensures even illumination and gives the interior a clean, architectural look—perfectly aligning with the gym’s modern brand identity.

Technically, the system operates at 24 V and is powered by efficient drivers connected to a smart control unit. This setup ensures consistent brightness across all runs and enables effortless colour changes through the smartphone app. The installation offers exceptional reliability and low maintenance, while giving staff the flexibility to transform the environment in seconds.

Since completion, the lighting has become a defining feature of Heat Under Tension. Members consistently praise how the colour-changing scheme enhances the energy of classes and creates an immersive atmosphere. Through a collaboration between NAG Electrical and Ansell Lighting, the gym now benefits from a lighting solution that is both visually striking and functionally adaptive—perfectly reflecting the brand’s focus on performance, innovation and experience.
