CASE STUDIES INDUSTRIAL RETAIL

A Snapshot

International

Comprising manufacturing, warehousing and dispatch buildings, this heavy energy user had a lighting system that was on 24 hours a day.

A wide variety of old fittings, technologies and lighting outputs throughout, left areas with poor and uneven lighting, posing health & safety risks to colleagues.

Outcome

Aurora was able to cut lighting bills by >50%, reducing operational maintenance costs by replacing ageing fittings, whilst delivering improved light quality, consistency and coverage throughout.

A safer working environment for colleagues, whilst achieving return on investment in less than 2 years.

Smyths

A Snapshot

Although the site has false ceilings, it was impossible to recess fittings on the first floor. Aurora designed a new layout which limited the need for construction work to ceilings. The only challenging aspect was that all works were to be undertaken at night, so as not to disrupt the daily workings of this fully operational store.

Outcome

Upgrading all old fittings to LED increased light levels to 750-1000lux, and reduced lighting energy consumption to 23,000W from over 60,000W.

Smyths was the perfect refurbishment project, with MMK Electrical Ltd. installing an excellent surface and suspension mounted solution, laser levelled on all products.
