This is a beginning entry dedicated to the light setup in Diedenoort-NURDSpace. Original configuration: The three wall switches by the front door operate, from left to right: The ventilation The right-hand bank of lights (with back to door) including the 3 on the hook around the corner The left hand bank of lights

  • The right hand switch does nothing.
  • The fluorescent bulbs are connected together into 4 numbered groups:
    1. The 6 in the dead centre of the space
    2. The 2 over the printer desks (currently disabled)
    3. The 3 over the desks at the far windows
    4. The 5 closest to the door, on the near side of the I-beam, excluding the emergency light (only 2 of them are currently working).
