Situated in the bustling King’s Cross area of London, The London Canal Museum tells the history of the city’s canals. Opened in 1992, the museum is housed in a Victorian ice warehouse, which was used by the Swiss entrepreneur and famous ice cream maker Carlo Gatti.
Visitors to the museum can look around a narrowboat cabin and find out about the people who lived and worked on the waterways. The site also contains two preserved ice wells under the main building, one of which can be viewed from the public areas of the museum.
The original dynamic LED lighting scheme for the Ice Well was installed in 2013 and were failing due to flood damage. The original custom fixtures were stripped and the separate white and RGB LED strips removed.
The old failing LEDs were replaced with Architape Pro RGBW LED tape which is designed to last 60,000 hrs. The LED luminaires were carefully focused to provide an even lighting distribution across the ancient walls of the Ice Well.
