Lego is one of the most popular children’s toys in the world. No wonder that, alongside Little Explorers, Majid Al Futtaim Holding has based a serious child entertainment facility around the famous Lego bricks. Working together with Khansaheb, Fagerhult was entrusted to deliver a lighting design from scratch combining a fully integrated lighting control system and 21st century LED technology.

The brief was to create two separate, clearly defined spaces, one for Lego and one for Little Explorers. The key challenge faced by Fagerhult was a strong requirement for high lux levels, which was problematic to achieve due to power constraints on site. The store is generally operated at over 1000 lux, but with lighting controls, the end-user is able to adapt the lighting levels as and when they wish.

Unique scene settings

Fagerhult's Marathon Midi LED track light at 21 W delivers circa 3000 lm unlike many alternatives on the market which need over 30 watts to provide a comparable lumen output. With over 300 track spotlights on the project, utilizing the high lumen per watt, the Fagerhult luminaires saved a considerable power load.

By using a DALI control system, the power of illumination is firmly in the hands of the user

By using a DALI control system, the power of illumination is firmly in the hands of the user. Each individual spotlight is addressable, thus allowing completely unique scene settings to be created. From the night setback mode, all the way through to the Little Explorer's 'main play' setting, the light levels can totally change with the press of a button. In Little Explorers, the lighting plan was to concentrate on functionality and subtle lighting while retaining the quintessential look and feel of a typical Lego store.

Retail lighting design

The juxtaposition of a uniformly bright store in Lego with the contrasting play area in Little Explorers clearly demonstrates Fagerhult's ability to deliver on the brief. Just like the toys, this job required Fagerhult, literally, to build the project from the ground up, combining the various 'blocks' of design, supply, lighting control and commissioning to achieve a truly unique piece of retail lighting design.

Exceptional energy efficiency and energy reduction (with over 300 pcs of 21 W spotlights utilized in the store) while achieving the required high lux levels (over 1000 lux) and retaining the highly recognizable Lego store look. DALI controls for setting up various lighting scenarios giving varying light levels, creating added interest and increasing energy efficiency.
