Lighting Upgrade for Cost Efficiency

Lighting upgrade for cost efficiency 

2022

Background

Choice Discount Store wanted to expand 8 stores while maximising cost efficiency. Their main concern was creating a functional and aesthetic lighting solution while having less draw on AC. 


Key upgrades

- More cost efficiency and less drain on AC
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Enhanced safety of employees and customers

 

The story

With an average store size of 1000 - 1200 square metres, the Choice Discount Stores needed sufficient, bright and long lasting lighting. Choice Discount Stores pride themselves on “delivering a great shopping experience” for their customers. With JH Market‘s high quality lighting supplies and gear, Choice Discount Stores are able to improve on customer experience and safety. 

The products were hand picked by John, the Director of a shop fitting and building company, who wanted to ensure “more cost efficient fitting[s] with less draw on AC” for this fit out. With the new lighting from JH Market, Choice Discount Stores will save on electricity, maintenance and replacement costs. This roll out also can help them improve profits as the install included 5000k lighting, which can promote energy, speeding up the shopper’s pace and decision making. 


Choice Discount Stores will also appear more spacious, modern and professional thanks to the use of 5000k cool white, recessed lighting. This upgrade can help Choice Discount Stores continue “delivering value for money to our local communities”.


The install

Over the course of the expansion, the products John, from Retail Planned Project PTY LTD used included:

Products Used

LED Highbays:

The highbays used in the fit out will help Choice Discount Stores save on replacement, maintenance and energy costs. The LiteLighting 150W & 200W Highbays used in these installs have a 50,000 hour lifespan and 5 years warranty, meaning less replacements and call backs for the electricians who completed the job. They are also dimmable so Choice Discount Stores have the option to alter and adjust the lighting. 

The FTYLED highbays used are easy to install and were perfect for this project, as they are great for HID replacements. This LED highbay produces a bright light, which can provide the employees of Choice Discount Stores with enhanced visibility for safety and efficiency. They are also IP65 and IK10 rated, making them dust, water and impact resistant. 

The LED highbays chosen have a high light efficacy of up to 130lm/w as well. 

Below is a helpful chart that shows the recommended mounting heights for our LED highbays.
