Manresa House Clontarf 

LOCATION: PEDRO ARRUPE CHAPEL 
JOB DESCRIPTION 
The Chapel is part of the old existing building on the Manresa campus the lighting was at lease twenty years old and was totally inadequate to light the chapel. 
 
We have been working in Manresa House for many years and they came to us with the idea to upgrade the lighting system, they were looking for ideas on what could be done. 
 
In conjunction with our design partners INDEPENDENT LIGHT and of course the client we supplied several design proposals with costings to provide an upgrade to the existing lighting system. 
We installed a full Dali lighting system consisting of downlights for general lighting and several task lighting elements to pick out items such as the alter, the tabernacle and the crucifix hanging at the back of the church. 
 
The lighting is controlled from a selector switch at the door of the chapel and several different lighting sequences can be chosen depending on the event happening in the chapel at the time. 
 
The scene selections were made in close collaboration with the client and they are incredibly happy with the outcome and we continue to work for them on an ongoing basis.

LOCATION: PRAYER ROOM 

Manresa House Clontarf 

PROJECT: EVIE HONE STAINED GLASS WINDOWS 
JOB DESCRIPTION 
We recently completed the design and installation of lighting to the exterior of the Prayer Room in Manresa house in conjunction with our design partners at INDEPENDENT LIGHT.  
 
The Prayer Room houses five spectacular stained-glass windows by renowned Irish artist Evie Hone (1894-1955). They were originally designed for the Jesuit House in Rahan, near Tullamore. When the house in Rahan was closed, the windows were relocated to Manresa, where the new prayer room was built in 1992 to display them in all their glory. 
We installed new LED light fittings above and below the windows externally to light the panels so they can be viewed from inside the room. The windows are switched separately so that the viewer can contemplate whichever scene they choose.
