Existing Technology
The Warehouse was lit with T8 6’ Twin Fluorescent Tubes with reflectors Throughout
Issues
MD Oliver Espinasse told us Boyriven had been established over 100 years ago supplying the motor trade with textiles and upholstery.
Their issues with the existing lighting was both colour and in cutting and preparation. Mainly the existing lighting was not adequate LUX to spot flaws in the rolls of textile or to cut accurately. On dull days cutting took longer and the staff struggled to see imperfections in the textiles.
Oliver also wanted to reduce their energy use and carbon footprint.
Solution
All the lights installed have a 100,000 hour build life, in normal use that’s around 15 – 20 years service.
