Forecourt lighting
Posted on 18th January 2024
The results of this external floodlighting upgrade for Winslow Ford in Rushden, Northamptonshire, are impressive.
The new LED floodlights provide improved lux levels across the forecourt and help save money and keep the site secure..
Why choose LED floodlighting
Older floodlighting installations might not provide the illumination you want and could be using a lot of energy. Alternatively, you might want a new installation to make a space feel safer and look more attractive. LED floodlights also improve the appearance of your site during the darker winter months and improve security.
They are an energy-saving option, reliable and low maintenance. If you’re upgrading your floodlights, LEDs also provide a better quality of light. Their clear broad-beamed illumination could mean you need fewer fittings and you’ll still achieve better results.
Planning external floodlighting
External lighting design includes factors such as the size of the floodlit area and the surroundings. Considerations might include nearby houses, height restrictions and the availability of a suitable electrical supply.
If your planned floodlighting is new you’ll also need to consult your local planning authority. Due to concerns about light pollution planning permission is probably needed.
Lighting controls. Using timers and light sensors helps keep costs down by making sure the lights are only switched on when needed.
Lighting levels. Clear and consistent LED lighting improves visibility, safety, and comfort for everyone using your site.
Energy efficiency. You can reduce your carbon footprint and minimise light pollution with advanced LED floodlighting design.
