Queens Market Lighting Project

The Queens Market Lighting Project, commissioned by the London Borough of Newham in 2024, is an ongoing initiative aimed at modernising the market’s electrical and lighting systems through a phased approach. Phase 1 involved the installation of temporary lighting carried out overnight to avoid disrupting daily operations. In Phase 2, outdated lighting was replaced with energy-efficient LED systems in 10-meter segments, ensuring the market remained functional. Phase 3 focused on upgrading the East electrical plant room with advanced switchgear, surge protection, and a smart dimmable lighting control system to enhance safety and efficiency. Phase 4 rewired shop front lighting using durable materials to improve reliability and aesthetics, coordinated with Phase 2 to maintain workflow efficiency. Phase 5, currently in progress, includes the replacement of front canopies with integrated LED lighting and the installation of a new control system and illuminated signage, significantly improving energy efficiency, flexibility, and the overall ambience of the market.
