Issue
Shine On was called upon to assess the lighting at their Toll Drive facility which is used as a distribution centre. The building had no skylights and as a result, the lighting conditions were very poor which was causing workplace health and safety issues as well as poor working conditions for staff.
Result
Using a selection of highbays in the main warehouse facility, we were able to significantly improve the light output with light levels increasing from around 90 lux – well below AS1680 Standards – to up to 440 lux. This considerable improvement was achieved in conjunction with an energy reduction of 84% and a 10-year saving of over $550,000! The introduction of sensored lights in low frequented areas means lights are only on when required, further reducing the facility’s carbon footprint.
