JAGUAR LAND ROVER OPTIMISES ENERGY CONSUMPTION WITHIN PAINT PRODUCTION FACTORY
As part of an ongoing process of optimising energy consumption across the whole Jaguar Land Rover vehicle manufacturing process, the Maintenance Team were tasked with managing and optimising the largest area of energy usage within the paint processing factory. One of the biggest draws of power within this area was the lighting, with copious amounts of fluorescent tubes used to light the inspection desks and paint booths. Jaguar Land Rover were looking for energy saving, retrofit T8 LED Tubes which provided high quality light levels to identify paint defects and help factory workers during the matching and identifying of the paint process. Due to the paint shop’s time critical operation (24 hours, 5 ½ days a week), Goodlight T8 LED Tubes were carefully phased through a rapid installation programme, where banks of the old fluorescent tubes were converted to accept the new T8 LED Tubes which were dropped in straight after.

PAYBACK IN 8 MONTHS AT QUORN FOODS’ MANUFACTURING SITE
Quorn Foods have achieved a payback on the installation of Goodlight T8 LED Tubes within its 13,000 sq. ft manufacturing site in just 8 months! The high-performance, energy efficient retrofit T8 LED Tubes were installed into Quorn’s principal manufacturing site which employs 600 staff members operating four different production lines to create Quorn’s meat-free food range. Daylight colour temperature T8 LED Tubes were chosen, and since the installation, Quorn have been delighted with the improvement in ambience on the production floor. Derek Passmore from Quorn commented “Goodlight T8 LED Tubes give a much cleaner, whiter light than the fluorescent tubes that they replaced. Our staff really appreciate the improvement in their working environment. For example, it is much easier now to access the colour of food samples. The fact that Goodlight LED tubes are glass-free is an added advantage.” Read the full story here.
GRAHAM & BROWN SAVE £14,000 PER MONTH
After a successful trial period at Graham & Brown’s production facility, over 2,000 lamps and luminaires were removed, recycled and replaced with Goodlight retrofit LED lamps and luminaires. Since installation, Graham & Brown have seen their LED power usage up to 80% lower than their previous fluorescent fittings, and are saving a staggering £14,000 per month, equivalent to 650 tonnes of carbon saved every year.

LED & SMART Lighting Controls
As LED lighting has developed over the last 10 years, so has the development of lighting control solutions, to further enhance lighting efficiencies and improve functionality of lighting in working buildings. Most guidance directs employers, business owner and government agencies to install efficient lighting systems, with added control as the most efficient solution.
Goodlight retrofit LED lamps incorporate integrated control where possible, or can easily be configured to work with existing controls such as DALI, 0-10V and leading or trailing edge.
Ask about our wireless lighting and energy control platform, Light Boss™ which puts lighting control into your hands via our lighting app, and delivers a truly connected lighting system, without business disruption and the huge upfronts costs of a wired-in solution. By integrating sophisticated wireless controls into Goodlight products, you are able to decide on the optimum lighting levels for performing varied tasks at various heights and working conditions, and you’re allowed to change your mind! You can group lighting in zones, to operate at differing levels and at different times. You can monitor daylight options where natural light is available, and can avoid dark zones in high safety areas to always retain a basic level of light. Our clever, yet simple app puts the control in your hands – you can change an entire lighting set-up within a few clicks, or literally minutes.
It is the most cost-effective way of upgrading your lighting, and allows users to see the energy performance of their lighting in real-time, as well as options to include self-test emergency lighting.
