Expected results compared to the previous lighting:

1. 55% annual energy savings / £6254 annual cost savings

2. 55% lower CO2 emissions

Extra benefits from our LED solution:

1. An average of over 1,200 lux achieved in the service workshop

2. The number of luminaires was reduced by over 55%, despite a significantly higher light intensity in the room

3. Visibility has improved since the daylight white light makes the colours and movements more easily perceived by the eye

Project: To reduce Toyota’s environmental impact by installing an energy efficient lighting solution

The Brief -

Toyota's service centre in Malmo, Sweden, is one of Toyota's flagship sites in terms of service to its customers. This means they provide a service of the highest calibre and that their premises should reflect this. Toyota aim to reduce the impact on the environment with the highest priority.

The requirements for the illumination of the workshop was an average illuminance of 1200 lux (up from 750 lux) at the same time the luminaires had to be strategically placed so work on the cars is not shaded. They also wanted to have an energy efficient lighting solution.

The Solution -

In the engineering area we chose to install our LED luminaire the LumiOPTIMA 5218. This fixture has a light output of 26,000 lumens and a built-in combined light and motion sensor. With an efficiency of 150 lumens/watt the LumiOPTIMA is a real light machine. A variant with daylight 5300 Kelvin colour temperature was chosen in order to increase visibility in the garage. This daylight white light is also invigorating and increases the concentration of those working in the service workshop.

In other areas we chose to use our LumiROD 414, this LED product also has a built-in combined light and motion sensor. Both types of luminaires are fully dimmable from 0-100%. When motion is detected the luminaire lights up to full power and drops down to 25% power when motion is undetected. The luminaires have a prism lens to minimise glare but provide a significantly better light distribution than traditional fluorescent fixtures.
