Brilliance light fittings are a winner
December 1st 2007 A combination of Chalmor's
Brilliance light fittings and Autolux
controllers is providing significant
savings in energy and carbon
emissions for Wincanton's
automated distribution centre in
Corby.The payback on energy
savings alone is calculated at less
than two years, with additional
maintenance savings from longer
re-lamping cycles reducing the
projected return on investment to
an estimated 1.6 years.
Brilliance fittings have been used
to replace the existing 190 x 400W
SON (high pressure sodium)
fittings, on a point for point basis,
increasing lighting levels while
reducing the installed electrical
load. In parallel with this,Autolux
controllers, linked to photocells and
presence detectors, have been
installed to enhance the control of
the lighting.
Brilliance fittings use highly
efficient T5 linear fluorescent
lamps, providing better colour
rendering, higher lighting levels
and a life of 30,000 hours, so that
re-lamping schedules can be
extended to three years or more. More articles from Chalmor Limited: |
