Savings in store

Brammer UK has completed a major project to reduce carbon emissions and energy costs at its automated NDC in Wolverhampton. The £17,000 capital investment has seen the installation of new energy-efficient Virolux-HLF high bay lighting throughout the warehouse.

The product is said to have no warm-up time, with increased lamp life and reduced maintenance costs.

Occupancy sensors ensure lights are not left on unnecessarily. The system, which also harvests daylight and has specially engineered reflectors to maximise lighting levels, is set to save close to £18,000 in energy costs in the first year alone, with similar yearon- year savings set to follow.
