Which is why Thorn were asked to suggest an energy saving but effective scheme that controls obtrusive light and provides safe and secure illumination for the parking spaces and adjacent roads.

Applying PEC to the scheme clearly shows how light can affect the quality of life and our natural environment.

Performance – thanks to 270 Champion floodlights the required lighting levels are met and a soft wash of uniform light provided.

Efficiency – most important here. Both travellers and air traffic controllers are not troubled by glare, stray light or direct light. The use of 600W HPT lamps delivers energy efficient illuminance. Energy costs are 40% less than an alternative metal halide scheme.

Comfort – Friendly safe and secure lighting is provided

Design – The floods are installed on 18 masts, 33m tall, to avoid multiple columns.
