Lighting costs cut

In replacing high pressure sodium (HPS) lighting, Riegens HB Saleni T5 fluorescent luminaires are helping SIG to achieve average energy savings of 65-70% on warehouse lighting.

SIG, a leading distributor of specialist building products, worked with The Carbon Trust to evaluate the energy performance of all of its 320 sites in the UK and the sodium warehouse lighting was identified as an area for improvement. Having considered various options the company selected Riegens 2 x 80W HB Saleni luminaires where practicable. As well as offering improved lighting levels, the HB Saleni fittings provide control opportunities that were not possible with the sodium lighting.
