Manchester’s striking new structure designed by ground-breaking architects Tonkin Liu, in collaboration with Arup, is a visual reminder of the city’s new low-carbon heating and electricity network, aimed at becoming zero-carbon by 2038.

The superior quality and reliability of Tryka’s solutions were the clear choice for this project. Tryka’s Ryan Rolph said: “The Tower of Light is an inspirational project as it visually signifies Manchester’s move towards becoming a carbon-zero city.”

The Tower of Light is illuminated with Tryka’s Aura5 RGBW(27k), cowl accessories, Aura7 RGBW(27k), Aura7 Inground RGBW(27k), and Tryka’s Lita Mini Spot. All the luminaires on a DMX protocol and controlled by a Pharos LPC2 and TPC.

The scheme is expected to save an initial 1,600 tonnes of carbon emission per year.
