The building was originally fitted with 73 pieces of 440 watt metal halides producing an average of 77 LUX whilst consuming 32.12kW/h. The lighting engineers at Aqualuma specified a lighting plan which incorporated 57 Lightsource-R LED Highbay lights at 165 watts consuming 9.41kW/h.

Not only has Toll achieved an electrical consumption saving of over 70% but the average lighting level in the building has increased by 133% to 180 LUX. An added benefit is the L70 rating of Lightsource-R which is in excess of 10 years based on 24/7 usage. This reduces service and maintenance costs, which is essential when the lights are installed 10 to 12m above the floor.

Lightsource-R is now available through Aqualuma’s European distributor Tides Marine.
