Morrisons makes fresh choice of LEDs

15dec09Morrisons1.JPGWe get a steady stream of we-have-converted-to-LEDs emails in the Electronics Weekly inbox, few of which raise any interest at all.

One arrived this morning and, expecting to read that yet another Mid-Western university has installed a few LED streetlamps, imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a Morrison's petrol station in Yorkshire.

"The entire site at Illingworth from the canopy and the carwash to the signage and refrigeration cabinets utilises Rebel LEDs and Morrisons now enjoys energy savings of approximately 45% across the installation," said Lumileds.

For those driving down the A629, go an take a look.

For those who are technically curious:

  • Philips Mini 300 luminaires with Rebels in have replaced 250W metal halide fittings and motion detection has been added.
  • All the signs have Philips Poster Box Module 300s inside - reducing energy consumption by over 75%, claims Lumileds.
  • Accent lighting comes from 10W spot LEDs.
