According to Tom Gutierrez, GT Advanced Technologies’ president and CEO,“Our transition from GT Solar to GT Advanced Technologies reflects our broader strategic market focus. We are growing beyond our historic focus on the solar industry to include other growth markets such as the led linear high bay light. We also continue to look for strategic expansion opportunities into other adjacent markets that leverage our core competencies in crystal growth technology and the commercialization of equipment that drives the growth of new industries. Our name is now more closely aligned with our strategic vision and provides a new platform for us to grow and strengthen our global brand.”

GT Advanced Technologies is known as a market leader in each of its three core technology segments – polysilicon production equipment, photovoltaic (PV) silicon casting furnaces and sapphire equipment and materials.The studio, on the south bank of London’s River Thames, has windows on three sides, facing iconic St Paul’s Cathedral. In the winter it’s dark out when Daybreak comes on air at 6:00am, but gradually it gets brighter (until full sunlight potentially streams through the windows) by the program’s end at 9:25am.

Lighting director Matt Carter looked to technology to solve the lighting problems that the natural-light changes might present. Employing Stage Electrics, he first had almost £130,000 (approx. $212,000) worth of dimmable 2.5-meter-high (approx. 8-feet-high) glass windows installed, which, when attached to an ETC Unison® Paradigm® control system, automatically varies the led high bay light ambient light levels. Stage Electrics’ project manager Chris Patton explains: “We installed an ETC Paradigm dimming system with daylight-harvesting sensors on the outside of the building, which monitor the sunlight falling on each section of glass. The system then dynamically adjusts the tint to balance the amount of ambient light in the studio.”
