Case Study: Scarborough Beach Pool
Sustainable design meets functionality
Six-star Green Star certification for environmentally friendly construction.
Architectural design blends seamlessly into the coastal environment between beach and city.
Funded by local, state, and federal grants, the project prioritizes community and sustainability.
The Lighting Brief:
The proximity to the ocean and the architectural design demanded a thoughtful selection of luminaires, balancing durability with high-quality light performance. One key challenge was meeting the high illuminance requirements for the pool while ensuring the lighting could be dimmed to minimize its impact on nearby residences. A coordinated 3000 K color temperature was chosen to enhance the natural appearance of timber elements, seamlessly integrating with the overall design. Circular and flexible luminaires were utilized to maintain harmony with the architectural forms, complemented by a comprehensive lighting control system to optimize functionality and energy efficiency.
WE-EF Solution
The lighting solution for Scarborough Beach Pool was designed to meet the unique challenges of a coastal environment while enhancing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the space. The luminaires were carefully selected for their ability to provide precise illumination, ensuring safety and comfort in all areas, from pathways to the pool itself. A coordinated warm light color improved the visual integration with the architectural design, highlighting natural materials and forms. Integrated control systems allowed for energy-saving features such as daylight harvesting and motion detection, optimizing efficiency and sustainability throughout the facility.
“A place defined by dynamic, cultural and climatic experiences. A place immersed within a landscape, mediating between rugged coast and manicured lawns and expressing life, contained by the architecture.”

Products
All luminaires featured WE-EF’s 5CE+ corrosion protection and were pre-configured for advanced digital lighting control systems. This ensured energy efficiency through daylight harvesting, motion detection, and programmable settings. The innovative design received recognition at the IESANZ Lighting Design Awards for its sustainability and functionality.

Comprehensive Lighting for Aquatic Centers
WE-EF offers a full suite of lighting solutions tailored to Aquatic Centers:
Pool Lighting
Avoid light reflections on the water
The determination of minimum height of luminaires is important as it determines the angle of light hitting the pool. Mounting height and tilt angle are generally the main contributing factors; sometimes a limited ceiling height is what demands the use of uplighting solutions as opposed to downlighting.
