Consultancy

In early 2005 wink consultants were contacted by MSCEB, a large Engineering Consultancy and Architectural practice based in Bahrain. The Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland had appointed them to design and project manage the construction of a new Medical University campus on a Greenfield site in Bahrain. The campus was to include all the lecture theatres, laboratories, demonstration facilities and administration offices necessary for some 4,000 students. The campus was also to include residential blocks, sports and entertainment facilities for staff and students

Design

Wink believes that each project is unique in context and objectives, and should therefore be treated as such.
Wink designers and project managers have developed a unique methodology to ensure that architects, designers and clients are given the fullest possible support during the design and implementation phases of their project.

Project Management

Any design is only as good as its implementation, and at wink we believe that effective project management is a sine qua non for success on any project. Each project is unique in its context and objectives; and should therefore be treated as such.

Over the years, wink designers and project managers have developed a unique methodology that we use to ensure that Architects and Designers are given the fullest possible support. We take the view that there are four crucial aspects to each Project: Design, Economics, Performance and Environment. Further, all four must be addressed if the project is to achieve its architectural design brief.

Contracting

The installation of any lighting scheme is critical to its performance. Wink has its own teams of commissioning and installation technicians, all fully trained and qualified in the wink service methodology.

CPD Registration

wink is the first (and so far, only) lighting company in Ireland to have received RIAI approval for its CPD seminar.

There is now increasing acceptance of the importance of good lighting design. However, how do we know how much light we need to design to? What kind of lighting do we use? Where best to locate it? The aim of the CPD seminar is to give a basic understanding of lighting principles, terms, light output and colour, so the importance of a lighting design is understood; allowing you to ensure that lighting becomes an integrated part of the building’s architecture.

• Concepts and considerations for lighting design encompassed in the seminar include:
• Different qualities of light.
• Different ways of measuring light.
• The ability to select the correct type of lamp for a given application.
• The ability to select the correct type of luminaire for a given application.

In the seminar we explore the difference between Illuminance and Luminance. Illuminance, measured in lux, is the amount of light falling on a surface. Luminance, measured in candelas, is the amount of light reflecting off a surface. We also examine the two main factors to consider when discussing the appearance of light: Colour temperature and colour rendering index.

wink can provide this seminar nationwide from our offices in Dublin.
