Hi Andrew,

Ed,

I have spoken with the client and the shop fitters. I don't think swan necks would work in this location due to the position of the windows. Spar have suggested that LED back lit would be possible, would you prefer that?

Regards

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I am dealing with this application and have discussed the proposals with Ian Brooks who has been involved before.

I am unconvinced by the design of the lighting – the strip light is a bid crude. Can you incorporate spot lights or swan neck lighting instead?

Best wishes,

Ed
