Chalmor provides fast payback
October 1st 2008

A combination of Chalmor's Brilliance light fittings and Autolux controllers is reported to be providing significant savings in energy and carbon emissions for Wincanton's automated DC in Corby. The payback on energy savings alone is calculated at less than two years, with additional maintenance savings from longer re-lamping cycles reducing the projected return on investment to an estimated 1.6 years.

Brilliance fittings have been used to replace the existing 190 x 400W SON (high pressure sodium) fittings, on a point for point basis, increasing lighting levels while reducing the installed electrical load. In parallel with this, Autolux controllers, linked to photocells and presence detectors, have been installed to enhance the control of the lighting.

"We receive significant amounts of natural daylight through the roof lights, so we can now dim the lighting to take advantage of this – something that couldn't be done with the SON lighting," explained the site's engineering manager Nathan Goudie. "We are also using presence detection so that if an aisle is not in use the lighting can be switched off completely."
