Printing production rates have greatly increased following the installation of Luceco’s cost-effective LuxBay LED luminaires at Vinyl Graphics Ltd.
Luceco and Advanced Interior Solutions (AIS) have recently completed an LED lighting installation at Vinyl Graphics Ltd with LuxBay, a cost-effective LED luminaire ideal for high ceiling mounting positions in industrial and warehouse environments.
Vinyl Graphics Ltd (VGL), based in Reading, is a family run screen and digital print company with a reputation for quality and innovation.
During the 1980s, VGL introduced the UK’s first computer aided sign-cutting machine and the company has remained at the forefront of digital print technology ever since.
VGL’s production facilities were poorly lit following the initial base build installation that was inherited when it took the building.
Given the high quality graphic works produced at VGL, there were issues with precision technical equipment not working correctly under the original lighting levels.
With the combined expertise of Luceco and Advanced Interior Solutions, a full lighting design was produced, and luminaires installed to ensure the correct lux levels for the environment.
Offering more than 50,000 hours of operational life, LuxBay boasts 105 Llm/cW, is environmentally friendly and requires no maintenance over its lifetime.
Mounting positions include surface, trunking or suspended and there are options of integrated presence and daylight sensors for use with fixed output or DALI dimmable control gear.
Mark Hill from AIS said: “Due to poor levels of lighting from the existing fittings, the print machines at VGL weren’t able to work to full capacity. With the installation of highperformance LED luminaires, the client has reported that cameras on the machines can decipher colours more efficiently and production rates have greatly increased.”
