Thorn - Case Study - Anglian Home Improvements, UK - 2015

Case Study  Anglian Home Improvements, UK  Energy Savings: 63%

Summary After trialling fittings from several manufacturers, facilities management  company Cofely chose Thorn’s HiPak Pro LED high bay luminaire to  refurbish the lighting at Anglian Home Improvement’s Norwich factory.  Benefits include a 63% energy reduction and an increase in light levels  from 100 to 300 lux. Background Anglian Home Improvements was established in 1966 and is  renowned in the UK as the number one supplier of high quality home  improvements. Saving energy for their customers is at the forefront  of what they do, so the company decided to explore how its own  manufacturing site in Norwich could save energy with new energy  efficient lighting. Lighting objectivesThe factory was previously lit using products employing a mixture of  700W Mercury MBFU lamps, 400W SON-T high bays and 100W  Fluorescent fittings. The objectives were therefore twofold: to reduce  energy consumption and improve the working environment by   improving the quality of light. Lighting solutionThorn’s Key Account Manager, Terry Ganslandt, worked closely with  facilities management company Cofely to provide various product  samples for trial, expert lighting designs and several supportive site visits. As a new customer to Thorn, Cofelys Regional Account Manager, Jason  Rose had trialled fittings from four other manufacturers without success.  Jason explains, “It was Thorn’s HiPak Pro LED which was the best for  our application and the reason why we chose to work with Thorn for the  first time. HiPak Pro LED gives a great lighting spread and doesn’t glare  when you look at or around the light.”HiPak Pro LED is a robust, low maintenance and energy saving LED high  bay luminaire. At just 150W, it is substantially more energy efficient than  the original 700W mercury lamps and has dedicated individual LED  optics for precise light control. It also has an integrated PIR sensor and is  DALI dimmable for maximum energy savings. www.thornlighting.co.uk HiPak Pro LED installation at  manufacturing site reduces  energy consumption while  increasing the quality of light  Energy Savings: 63%

www.thornlighting.co.uk eControl From Thorn’s 15 ways to save energy, the following are key to minimising energy consumption   at Anglian Home Improvements’ factory:  Lamp efficacy   High efficacy LED light sources  convert energy more efficiently  into light, reducing energy  consumption. Presence/absence    Integral presence sensors within  HiPak Pro LED ensure lighting is  only on when required, helping to  reduce waste energy. System efficacy  The use of high efficacy LED light  sources combined with precision  optics and excellent thermal  control results in a high system  efficacy, producing maximum light  output for minimum energy input. Results and benefits HiPak Pro has reduced energy consumption by  63% (from 19kWh to 7kWh) while increasing   light levels from 100 to 300 lux. Jason explains:  “Due to the PIR option, we were able to program  HiPak Pro LED to our requirements, which was   a big plus.” “The fitting was also very easy to install. Everyone  in the factory is really happy with the solution.   The lighting has a very good even spread,   provides a nice light to work under and saves   a lot of energy too.”Duncan Mottershead, Engineering Director at  Anglian Home Improvements says: “An integral  part of Anglian Home Improvements’ energy and  environmental policies is a commitment to use  energy wisely and responsibly, and actively pursue  ways to reduce energy usage.”“Installation of the new Thorn HiPak Pro LED   lighting is part of this commitment and has  resulted in energy savings of around 60% versus  the previous lighting solution it replaced, as well  as providing a much brighter and better overall  environment within the factory.” Key facts •  63% energy savings•  Lux levels increased from 100 to 300
