Kuwait Ministry of Justice Kuwait

The 50,000 sq.m Kuwait Palace of Justice was originally equipped with a Delmatic system in the late 1970s which provided flexible control of lighting throughout the extensive office areas as well as controlling lighting in the public areas and the court rooms.
 
The system was upgraded to latest addressable technology through the insertion of plug-in cards into the original hardware and without any changes to the original installation or wiring.  In-house maintenance staff inserted the plug-in cards into the original hardware which transformed the obsolete system into a fully addressable lighting management network with graphical monitoring and supervision through animated head-end software.
 
To ensure continued future-proofing, the cards were supplied “dimming-enabled” to allow for future upgrading of the luminaires to incorporate dimming ballasts. The project is testimony to the robustness and longevity of life that can be expected from a Delmatic system as well as demonstrating sustainability by maximising the re-use of hardware and cabling when converting from one era of technology to another.
