Lighting overhall
AKW Logistics’ high bay storage facility has recently had its lighting, which consisted of a total of 289 individual 400W metal halide, quad 80W and twin 70W neon batten units, replaced by 194 Waveguide Lighting’s Brightstar intelligent LED luminaires.

The modernisation of the lighting has resulted in major operational, security and financial benefits, with the improvement in the overall brightness and uniformity of the lighting throughout the facility raising the quality of the CCTV security recordings and achieving a safer working environment for the fork lift truck drivers with better general visibility and less shadowing. The luminaires are intelligently managed, with motion sensors that reduce the output by 80% in unoccupied areas and with ambient sensors that dynamically adjust the output in response to the ambient natural lighting levels.
The energy saving is 74%, the tangible ROI is 1171% and the payback period is 15 months.
