Donegan and his team will manage all new product design and development and will also continue to provide a lighting design and consultancy service. This new company is called onepointtwo.
Donegan has experience in all areas of the lighting arena with a career spanning 22 years. He is a member of the Society of Light and Lighting, the Institute of Lighting Engineers and holds a Master of Science degree in The Built Environment (Light & Lighting) from the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. He has lectured on retail lighting at Griffith College Dublin, Dublin Institute of Design and architectural lighting at University College Dublin.
onepointtwo offers architects, designers and engineers "a comprehensive and holistic approach to lighting challenges in both the interior and exterior environment".
"In March 2007 we launched the 'ban the bulb' campaign to raise awareness of the use of inefficient lighting in both domestic and commercial sectors" says Donegan. "Using incandescent lamps is the equivalent of still using steam to run our transport system. We recently designed and supplied the lighting for a refurbishment project for Brown Thomas in Cork and were able to introduce a lighting scheme which enhanced the retail environment whilst saving over 60% on lighting energy costs."
