"Lighting a warehouse is a complex exercise. Large spaces to be covered, costs/carbon emissions to be considered yet adequate illumination is required, at all times. Thanks to Philips, we were able to integrate all these factors and come up with a solution that addressed these key criteria."

Mr. David Harris, Director - Logistics Investment Support

DED had an ambitious goal: To help business and government manage energy and carbon costs. In association with DHL Neutral Services and DNATA, they were aiming to achieve competitive advantage through carbon reduction. And they strove to achieve operational efficiency and cost reduction, in alignment with organizational metrics and objectives. In this holistic exercise, lighting was one of the three major areas. A lighting auditwas necessary, supplemented by a feasibility study, to help achieve the required results.

DED wanted to achieve savings of 37% on the electrical load with zero compromise on the light quality in the current facility. The new lighting solution had to deliver this high saving percentage and replace the existing 400W metal halide high bays. It was also expected to work with lighting controls while offering the desired lux levels.
