As part of its commitment to reduce energy consumption and its direct carbon footprint, Next has made the leap from traditional lighting to the latest LED technology. The retailer chose a range of luminaires from Luxonic Lighting , which will help them to achieve a 40% energy saving, reduce maintenance and at the same time - improve light quality in the Next stores.
The leadership team identified an opportunity to make significant energy savings by upgrading the lighting installations in the existing stores from MR16 Halogens, Ceramic Metal Halide and Compact Fluorescent Lamps to the latest energy saving LED technology. They were looking for a reliable solution providing superior light quality including high CRI and lumen maintenance, and is also future-proof in the quickly changing & developing LED market.
The expert team from Next specified LED Modules to be incorporated into Luxonic LED Twin Gimbal luminaires, Luxonic LED Window Lights and Luxonic LED Modular Trough luminaires. Luxonic specially developed the luminaires to run the LED modules correctly and with great deal of attention to engineering detail, in order to meet Next's requirements.
"Making an informed decision about an LED system is currently very difficult as there are numerous products being sold on the market with varying performance claims," explained a spokesperson at Next. "Therefore, we were meticulous in our selection process and set a variety of performance parameters for the final products. We are delighted with the lighting scheme. The stores not only look excellent but for the next five to ten years – there will be no maintenance required.”
The refurbishment looks set to result in an overall 40% energy saving for Next.
LED technology provides a modern, energy efficient and high performance alternative to traditional Halogens, Compact Fluorescents and Ceramic Metal Halide lamps, offering improved colour rendering and light quality – making LED an ideal solution for a variety of retail applications.
