How to reduce energy bills on forecourts

With the rise in energy costs there has never been a better time to look at your existing forecourt lighting as there are REAL energy savings to be made!

Research supported by the Petrol Retailers Association shows that typical petrol forecourt lighting using 10 standard 400W canopy lights can save approx £2,000 a year on energy costs alone by upgrading your fittings to 150W energy saving induction lighting.

LED fittings are also good at reducing energy consumption, but because the technology is still in its infancy the fittings are often very expensive which makes the return on investment financially unviable.

• Would like to reduce your energy bills?
• Are you looking for controllable forecourt lighting?
• Do you have 250W or 400W forecourt fittings?
• Do you need to improve your current forecourt lighting?

It is possible to improve your lighting and reduce your bills and carbon footprint with Endurance induction lighting.

By upgrading to Chalmor’s 150W long-life Endurance luminaires linked to simple lighting controls it is possible to save on £2,000 per annum. Further savings are achieved through reduced maintenance requirements, as Endurance lights provide an average of 60,000 hours that equates to over 7 years 24/7 use before the lamps need to be replaced, without any loss of light output during that time.

Light quality is also improved, with whiter light that is more effective in attracting passing trade.

Chalmor has fitting Endurance to many petrol stations over the past ten years where  the product has proved very reliable and effective in reducing energy consumption.
