UK Based Machining Facility
This UK based manufacturer of components to the automotive industry required a lighting upgrade for their machining facility.
The Challenge
Petrel were asked to provide a detailed solution to the client’s requirements of improved lighting levels for both general lighting and inspection lighting. The client also required the system to be more efficient and sustainable than the existing traditional lighting installation.
The Process
A detailed site survey performed in conjunction with the client and the installing contractor was conducted. This survey was then used as the basis of the lighting design produced using design simulation software. This along with costings, and potential energy savings were then presented to the client for approval.

The Solution
The Results
The client now enjoys significantly improved light levels for both general and inspection areas.
These improvements have been achieved whilst
also reducing operating costs. In addition to this,
maintenance costs have been reduced as a result
of using Petrel’s Area Light LED products, which
have industry leading performance in terms of
product life with the driver units and LED arrays
rated at 50,000+ hour’s life.
