By: MHA Lighting Switching to LED lighting from Greater Manchester-based MHA Lighting (http://www.mhalighting.co.uk/) With its low-energy luminaires and ability to design bespoke, precision lighting solutions – MHA Lighting (http://www.mhalighting.co.uk/) After trialling various fittings from two lighting suppliers to find luminaires that provided the optimal light colour and reductions in lighting energy costs, low energy LED Luminaires from MHA Lighting’ This particular combination can significantly enhance the working environment, which also aids precision working, contributing to a greater feeling of wellbeing amongst the staff. The project saw a total of 18 CLite 90/700 fittings, with six sensors installed in the warehouse – reducing annual lighting energy consumption from 19,710kW/h (annual cost of £2,168) This not only reduced annual lighting energy bills by almost £800, but tripled the light levels in the warehouse from an average of between 50 and 60 Lux (maximum luminescence of 80 Lux), to now achieving maximum luminescence of 239 Lux – giving an average of 170 Lux. MHA Lighting (http://www.mhalighting.co.uk/) George Whale, Operations Manager for Solvents with Safety, said: “After undergoing a site re-build in 2011, we discovered that the lighting had been incorrectly specified. This made the lighting ineffective for our workforce, as well as being very expensive. “After being introduced to MHA lighting (http://www.mhalighting.co.uk/) “MHA Lighting (http://www.mhalighting.co.uk/) “Not only is the light colour, output and uniformity superb, but our staff are benefiting from the improved lighting and we are seeing real cost savings on our energy bills. “MHA Lighting’ At current operating hours the fittings offer a useful lifetime of 15 years. Throughout life they require no maintenance saving Solvents with Safety a further £4,622 in maintenance costs during product lifetime. This takes overall lifetime savings for this project to £22,376.
