Strensham Services
LED solutions created cost saving of 70%
Waveguide Lighting has saved Motorway Service Area (MSA) operator Roadchef 70% on lighting costs at one of its biggest services.
The Challenge:
To refurbish the northbound petrol forecourt at Roadchef’s Strensham motorway service area.
The forecourt has been rebranded Texaco by Chevron, who own Texaco and has been using Waveguide Lighting’s patented LED technology since September 2010.
Our Solution:
A total of 86 Under Canopy LED fittings (82 watts each) replaced an equivalent number of 250 watt Halides – reducing C02 emissions by a staggering 585 tonnes over the product lifetime.
The metal Halides were one of the biggest overheads but our energy efficient LED solutions created cost saving of 70%..
The lights will run for 60,000 hours maintenance free. This means the Strensham installation will last for 12 years – based on average operation of 14 hours per day, seven days per week.
Waveguide’s canopy range is available with both symmetrical and asymmetrical reflectors. This allows for flexible lighting design so light can be directed back into the forecourt instead of causing light pollution in external areas.
Other benefits include enhanced retailing opportunities through better illumination and an improved sense of safety and security for customers.
“We are delighted with the result of Waveguide Lighting’s recent installation, which will help us provide clean and consistent illumination in our refurbished forecourt. The quality of the LED lights also improves safety and security at the forecourt by making our CCTV much clearer. Waveguide Lighting completed the project quickly and with minimal disruption to our business, which, because of the volume of customers using Strensham, was essential.”
