A combination of Precision Lighting’s Pico Zoom and Evo X11 LED fixtures have been selected to illuminate the glamorous new Wedding Dresses exhibition at the V&A Museum. Wedding Dresses 1775-2014 offers an insight into the history of dresses and the lives of the wearers. The exhibition is on display at the museum for 10 months and contains the work of key fashion designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Vera Wang and Charles Frederick Worth. Pieces on show include those worn by Dita Von Teese for her marriage to Marilyn Manson, and outfits worn by Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale for their wedding day.

The lighting design by Studio ZNA offers a high contrast scheme with Precision Lighting’s spotlights precisely focused on the luxurious gowns to highlight the exquisite details within the fabrics. The Evo X11 LED fixtures contain 20º optics; specified to ensure the gowns are well-lit, whilst preserving the high impact environment which ensures the pieces have a particularly eye catching intensity and prominence.

Precision Lighting’s Pico Zoom, with tool-less adjustable beam technology, allows for flexible lighting design and ensures that lighting for all future exhibitions can be easily adjusted to suit without the need for new fixtures.

The exhibition remains at the V&A until March 2015 and offers a panorama of fashion over the last two centuries.

Precision Lighting collaborated with DHA Designs to create custom lighting solutions throughout the V&A Museum. Two 3.4-meter suspended aluminum rings with 24 Microspot C16 spotlights provide precise illumination for the Ceramics Galleries, while custom Microspot C16 fixtures enhance the Jewellery Gallery display cases. An additional 108 custom Microspot C16 luminaires were integrated into the gallery’s linear lighting system, delivering focused illumination that highlights the museum’s collections with accuracy and visual clarity.

Located in London’s Marylebone, Fischer’s is an all-day café inspired by the grand Viennese cafés of the past, with interiors designed by Brady Williams. Lighting design practice Nulty developed a warm, intimate lighting scheme using 129 Precision Retro spotlights, carefully balancing decorative accents, artwork, and natural daylight throughout breakfast, lunch, and dinner service. Paired with Precision’s curved Basis Track and a scene-setting control system, the lighting enhances the café’s timeless character while providing the flexibility and efficiency needed for daily operations.

Located in London’s Primrose Hill, Eglon House transformed a former industrial site into a contemporary live/work space inspired by Pierre Chareau’s Maison de Verre. Independent lighting designer Victoria Jerram specified 68 bespoke rubbed bronze spotlights from Precision Lighting, mounted on the minimalist Basis Track system, to complement the Modernist architecture while providing flexibility for both residential and commercial spaces. Features including the Jack Plug connection, curved track sections, and discreet surface monopoints allowed the lighting to adapt seamlessly throughout the project, creating a scheme that balances industrial character, functionality, and timeless design.
