Unwrapping the potential on energy savings
Following the installation of T5 lighting from Riegens, The Retail Supply Group (RSG) is living proof a simple change to fluorescent lighting can now offer a cost effective alternative to HID luminaires for high bay applications in warehouses.
The refurbishment, financed by a Carbon Trust loan, has allowed the company to install the new lighting quickly and efficiently, providing immediate savings in energy and costs.
The task was to explore all the options for re-lighting the warehouse to provide a new lighting scheme that would comply with the Cibse guidelines for warehouse lighting, but at the same time reduce energy consumption. Results of investigative work demonstrated by changing the existing 400W metal halide lamps to Riegens HB-ECO 4 x 54W fluorescent fittings using 4000K colour temperature tubes, significant savings could be achieved.
