Manchester Airport – Car Parks
2000 LED light fittings to MAG
Manchester Airport (MAG) has achieved 60% energy savings in car park lighting thanks to our LED installation.
The Challenge:
External and Internal car parks are reliant on exceptional light quality for personal safety and security. MAG made a major commitment to reducing its carbon emissions from 2009 and has pledged to be the first airport group to reach its carbon neutral commitment by 2015. The Multi-Storey car parks in Terminal Two and Three were illuminated with 70watt and 100watt fittings – which just managed to achieve the BS Standard of 50-75 Lux Levels. The car parks are lit 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
Our Solution:
We supplied 2000 LED light fittings to MAG’s Terminal Two and Three car parks, which achieved an overall Co2 reduction of 3170 tonnes over the product life. Our designers engineered a fitting to retrofit into the SON gear trays. The Waveguide Lighting fitting is a 30watt unit that delivers 90-134 Lux levels. This fitting not only improved the level of lighting but also quality of lighting and uniformity. The installation achieved energy reduction targets and provided the simplest installation solution.
“After several months of trialling numerous lighting technologies and designs, Waveguide’s bespoke retro fit solution outshone all the others. We were particularly impressed with the speed and efficiency of Waveguide Lighting to design, fit and test their product to our stringent criteria. The end product has more than exceeded our expectations.”
