Scottish high-end alcohol label printing company Spirit Label Solutions has chosen Luceco products to light its new £5 million warehouse.
Working with local business Electrical Solutions, Luceco carried out a survey of the site, starting from scratch in an empty warehouse, to decide the best indoor, outdoor and emergency lighting for the space.
The warehouse had to double up as both a printing warehouse and an office space, so the lighting had to be suitable for both applications.
Chris Bryant, group managing director of Electrical Solutions (Scotland), explained: “The brief we were given by our contractors, Advanced Building Contractors, was to supply a lighting scheme for a manufacturing space and a small office in the same warehouse. The client had limited knowledge of lighting, so working with Luceco we were able to recommend the appropriate lighting and fittings for the job.
“When we visited the site with Luceco, we carried out a survey and produced a lighting design to meet their requirements. One thing we knew we had to get right was the balance of natural lighting in the space. The warehouse featured big skylights, which in the day provided the best natural light that wasn’t too warm or cold. We needed to replicate the same natural light when it got darker as accurate colour rendering is essential for printing environments, so LED lighting was an ideal solution.”
LED lighting provides the perfect solution for industries that require the LG1 recommended Colour Rendering Index (CRI), as it has only a small oscillation in light output and eliminates the strobed effect often caused by traditional lamped luminaires.
Spirit Label Solutions chose to use Luceco’s Elara Bay, cost-effective LED luminaires, ideal for high ceiling mounting positions in industrial and warehouse environments, and surface mounted LuxPanels for the office spaces.
