Case Study: Warehouse Lighting Upgrade
The Challenge
A leading logistics and distribution company in Southampton, Hampshire, was preparing to occupy a new 15m high, 120m x 80m warehouse. The existing lighting system was outdated and inefficient, requiring replacement with a modern, energy-efficient, solution. The client sought a lighting system that would provide optimal illumination while minimising energy consumption and maintenance costs.
Our Solution
MPA Electrical & Data collaborated with a specialist lighting consultant to develop a customized lighting solution. The key elements of the project included:
LED Sensor-Controlled Bulk racking Lighting: We installed a state-of-the-art LED lighting system, Specifically designed for bulk racking installations or open warehouse areas. The system was equipped with advanced sensors that automatically adjust the lighting levels based on ambient light conditions, maximizing energy efficiency.
Removal of Old Dim Lighting: We carefully removed the existing inefficient lighting fixtures, ensuring a clean and safe workspace.
Integrated Emergency Lighting: To comply with safety regulations a reliable integrated emergency lighting system was integrated into the new installation.
Surge Protection: To safeguard the electrical system robust surge protection measures were implemented.
The Results
Significant Energy Savings: The new LED lighting system, coupled with sensor control, resulted in substantial energy savings.
Improved Workplace Environment: The brighter, more evenly distributed, lighting enhanced the working environment, improving employee productivity and morale.
Reduced Maintenance Costs: LED lighting has a longer lifespan and requires less maintenance than traditional lighting, leading to lower operational costs.
Quick Project Turnaround: The project was completed within a two-week timeframe, minimizing disruption to the client's operations.
By carefully analyzing the client's specific needs and leveraging our expertise, we delivered a cost-effective and sustainable lighting solution that exceeded expectations.
