In backlighting the enormous pods, 272 SloanLED SignBOX III solutions were integrated, equating to roughly 4,978m of product. Specified in 6500K LED option, the crisp white light emanating from the backlighting solution complements the cool grey shade of the unit’s composite material.


As though glowing from within, light permeates through the punctured, circle detailing of the pods, emphasising the design, and delivering distinctive illuminated focal points.

David Mullaney, Head of Applelec Projects said: ‘With Monks Cross being an external lighting scheme, SloanLED SignBOX III was perfect for backlighting this project due to the premium construction and IP66 rating of the LED solution, which delivers a highly reliable and robust lighting product. Along with their superior build, SloanLED systems also carry a 10-year warranty, helping to provide further assurance for our client on both quality and longevity for the installation.’
