PolarSeal Warehouse

By working closely with PolarSeal Ltd and the electrical contractors, Beacon Lights was able to ensure the client a return on investment. Kevin French of Beacon Lights design team took just 1 week to perform the necessary site survey, design and payback calculations and present quotations. We also guided the client through the bespoke design and quotation process, and finally delivered the luminaires for R W Curle to install. Once again, Beacon Lights fulfilled its unwavering commitment to provide total service to its customers with speed, flexibility and precision.

The remit was to lift the lighting levels as the forklift drivers were complaining about existing poor light levels and that they were struggling to read the stock labels. There was also several failures with the old style discharge low bays plus existing positions were not ideal. We were asked to provide a full lighting design offering both LED & T5 with and without sensors using existing positions but moved centrally in the racking aisles.

“On my survey I noticed that the existing emergency coverage in the racking aisles was insufficient and did not comply with current regulations. As this was a significant refurbishment BS5266 part 1 had to be achieved” says Kevin French.

We put proposals forward and the T5 sensored option was preferred. Both the T5 and LED option lifted the lux levels also saving energy.

The popular T5 low energy Low Bay was selected to cover the warehouse’s racking facilities. Its AO integral sensors combining presence detection and daylight dimming at heights above 4m maximizing energy savings. The fitting comes complete with Tridonic control gear with a typical lamp life of a T5 lamp being 27,000 hours, this will significantly reduce on-going maintenance costs incurred with existing fittings. The fitting if required comes with an integral emergency ballast enabling the racking isles to now comply with BS5266 part 1. The use of a hand held programmer enables the end client to have total controllability of his premises along with making maximum energy savings.
