The Junction Hotel, at the time of its renovation is a completely unique building on the Newcastle landscape. Why? The entire building is lit with LED's..., not one light globe or fluorescent tube can be found!
The building radiates urban cool with its sleek lines, sliding roof section and dynamic lighting. It is a triumph in merging modern and traditional architecture, notwithstanding the extensive use of Digilin LED lighting throughout.
Digilin's contribution to the LED lighting begins outside, where the Taipan LED lights are found illuminating the exterior (as wall mounted up-down lights), creating columns of light by the entrances. Inside there is further use of wall mounted LED Taipans (both up-down and down lights), as well as fully recessed versions being used for general lighting to illuminate public spaces of the hotel. Trident waterproof LED lighting fixtures have been used to illuminate the water feature and the somewhat unique "Wee Wall" in the men's loo! There is also extensive use of the colour mixing RGB Taipan LED lights and LinearLight LED strips around the bar, and a glass floor near the bar allowing patrons to see through to the cellar, which is itself lit with colour changing strips and is sure to be a talking point.
The Junction is a modern classic, and Digilin LED lighting is what takes it there.
