Integrity Print located in Somerset approached us as staff had expressed concerns about poor visibility and a gloomy atmosphere under the current metal halide lighting within their warehouse. Integrity operate 24 hours a day, so they wanted an efficient cost effective solution as well as better lighting and atmosphere.

​

We worked with Lighting Services in Bristol to create a proposal offering the latest LED technology. A proposed 98W fitting could effectively be run at 80% and still exceed desired lighting levels. Under running an LED fitting also increases its already impressive lifetime of 50,000 hours. This brings a huge reduction in the maintenance costs over traditional metal halide systems when fittings are installed in high up areas of a warehouse ceiling.

​

We also installed Intelligent controls which play a vital function. Occupancy sensors on each fitting can effectively keep it dormant at 20% output until triggered by an employee or vehicle.

​

By combining technologies we were able to estimate impressive savings in energy and maintenance with an ROI within 3 years.

Dave Wright, Supply Chain Manager – Integrity, Comments:

We took our time to see a number of suppliers and proposals, but in the end, it was an easy selection. Lighting Services and J Bracey Electrical are not tied to any one manufacturer and gave us clear and independent advice. The install was superb, and the warehouse was fully operational throughout.

​

We now have excellent consistent lighting in the areas that we are working while maximising our Energy savings by dimming back the lights that are not needed.
