LED lighting upgrade for retail energy efficiency and saving retail operations costs

Background

Shine On and Best Friends Pets have a longstanding working relationship with 15 successful projects and counting across many of their outlets. We upgraded their Melton site in 2016 and in 2021 advised them that due to a record high subsidy, an LED to LED upgrade could be completed at no cost.

The project

We upgraded 32 older,130 watt Shine On LED highbays to our new 80 watt Apollo Mk4 Highbays.

Results

Following installation, Best Friend’s Melton Superstore saved 75% on their lighting energy bill, equating to an annual saving of over $3,400.

There were just no issues with anything at all. I guess it was just really easy to deal with them and there were no dramas. Everyone was really friendly and I just really like it when things like this go smoothly and there are no problems. The people I dealt with were always really polite, they were always smiling, and they were just happy to help in any way.
