Energy-Efficient Lighting Upgrade for Primaflow F&P’s Warehouse

Primaflow F&P, a prominent distributor in the plumbing and heating industry, recognized the significance of energyefficient lighting within their extensive warehouse. Seeking to enhance both the work environment and energy consumption, the company partnered with 4lite for a lighting upgrade solution. The challenge involved replacing outdated, energyintensive HID lighting with a more efficient alternative. The chosen solution was the installation of 150 Watt LED Highbay fittings with Microwave Sensor technology, providing qualitative and quantitative illumination while reducing energy usage.

Why Energy Efficiency Matters

The rationale behind Primaflow F&P’s pursuit of energy-efficient lighting stemmed from the need for improved workplace conditions, financial savings, and environmental impact reduction. As a distributor serving a wide customer base, energy efficiency could enhance both operational efficiency and sustainability, aligning with the company’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.

Impact: Enhancing Lighting and Reducing Energy Consumption

The impact of the lighting upgrade was significant. The installation of 150 Watt LED Highbay fittings with Microwave

Sensors led to impressive results. Within just half a month following the installation, Primaflow F&P reported a substantial 58% reduction in energy consumption compared to the previous 400W halogen lights (comparable to same month previous year) . This outcome underscored the immediate positive impact of the chosen lighting solution, enhancing the company’s financial bottom line and lowering its environmental impact.

Further Energy Savings and Optimization

The integration of Microwave Sensors into the lighting solution allowed for ongoing energy savings. Primaflow F&P projected approximately £4,000 in monthly energy cost savings due to the installation. Moreover, the incorporation of a remote-control solution provided the ability to optimize energy consumption even further, reducing switch-off times to as little as 1 minute. This additional level of control demonstrated the adaptability and flexibility of the lighting system to meet specific operational needs.

Conclusion: Transformational Lighting Upgrade

The partnership between Primaflow F&P and 4lite resulted in a transformative change within the warehouse environment. The installation of 4lite Microwave Sensor High Bay Lights not only elevated lighting quality but also exemplified the potential of energy-efficient solutions to drive substantial cost savings and environmental benefits. This success highlighted the importance of aligning lighting technology with operational goals and sustainability targets.
