In September Balfour Beatty completed the fit-out of its 1800 square metre warehouse and attached office, in Derby.

EasiLume provided the LED lighting design and products for the project.

EasiLume’s High Bay LED lighting was used for the bulk of the warehouse lighting, along with a series of LED strip lights. The strip lights were used to compliment the LED high bay lighting in the main warehouse, and provide full coverage in the lower ceiling areas. For the office EasiLume’s LED panels were used, a like-for-like replacement of the previous fixtures.

The warehouse and office now look bright and modern, and they’ve been given a new lease of life by the refurbishment. As EasiLume Sales Manager Stuart Dixon explains: “Before the refurb the warehouse was gloomy and dull. Making the relatively small change of upgrading to LED lighting has made a huge difference. It now looks clean, bright and modern.

“But not only does the lighting look great, it also saves money on energy and maintenance bills. EasiLume’s LEDs are more energy efficient than their halogen and fluorescent equivalents, and can save up to 60% on electricity bills throughout their 60,000 hour lifetime. This makes the investment in LEDs a great strategic choice by Balfour Beatty.”
