LED lighting product required for this project was determined

This work has been carried out as part of the council’s borough wide Carbon Management Programme, which has delivered energy efficiencies of over ￡200,000 over the last five years in council buildings.

The new light fittings now installed at Water Street Multi Storey Car Park use 45% less energy than the pre-existing system.  Also with the use of light sensor control they will save the council more than 50% on their energy bills.

At current operational times they will also save 35 tonnes of Co2 per annum.

At the same time, the light levels and light uniformity within the multi-storey car park have been improved which will enhance customer experience and security at the site.The project was managed by the councils partnering consultant Norfolk Property Services (NPS) Wigan.

The use of LED technology as an alternative light source was carefully considered and a feasibility of the LED lighting product required for this project was determined and included in the tender.

Following competitive tender local electrical contractors Electra Connect were appointed for installation with the LED lighting product specified being provided by MHA Lighting, based in Atherton.
