About our client:
Abacus Lighting supplied main contractor Vinci Construction, with the Orion Pro LEDs for Curry’s. The featured Curry’s retail store is located in Mansfield. The brand is a prominent electrical retailer in the UK market that specialises in consumer electronics and household appliances.
Over the years, Curry’s has built a reputation for providing quality products and exceptional customer service, making it a trusted name in the retail sector.
The Challenge:
Curry’s Mansfield had their car park lighting supplied by Abacus several years ago. They wanted to upgrade to energy-efficient LED lights to increase brightness, improve safety, and reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs.
The goal was to enhance the customer experience with a well-lit car park for safe daytime and night-time shopping.
The existing lighting system, although sufficient, did not meet the desired lighting levels for optimal safety and visibility. Curry’s aimed to improve the lighting quality in their car park to create a brighter and more secure environment for both customers and staff.
The Solution:
Abacus Lighting provided the perfect solution by replacing the old Orion 2 luminaires with the Orion Pro LED through a direct retrofit. The Orion Pro LED achieves a new standard of lighting levels while being significantly more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
Compared to the older luminaires, the Orion Pro LED offers substantially lower power consumption, resulting in reduced energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Additionally, the Orion Pro LED requires less maintenance due to its longer lifespan and greater durability, leading to further cost savings over time. The improved efficiency and reliability of the Orion Pro LED ensures that the car park remains well-lit and secure for customers and staff, thereby enhancing overall safety and convenience.
The Orion Pro LED luminaires provide superior light quality, which improves visibility and enhances the aesthetic appeal of the car park. This upgrade aligns with Curry’s’ broader sustainability goals and their strategy to implement greener technologies across their operations. The shift to LED lighting also supports Curry’s’ environmental commitments by significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with their energy use.
Conclusion:
The successful retrofit by Abacus Lighting demonstrates a forward-thinking approach, leveraging advanced technology to provide tangible benefits in both performance and environmental impact. By upgrading to Orion Pro LED luminaires, Curry’s Mansfield has not only improved its operational efficiency and reduced costs but also reinforced its commitment to sustainability and customer satisfaction.
This project serves as a model for other retail locations looking to modernize their infrastructure with eco-friendly and cost-effective solutions.
