Forecourts

Research supported by the Petrol Retailers Association shows that typical petrol forecourts using 10 standard 400W canopy lights can save nearly £2000 a year on energy costs alone by upgrading to Chalmor’s 150W long-life Endurance luminaires linked to simple lighting controls. Further savings are achieved through reduced maintenance requirements, as Endurance luminaires provide a life of 60,000 hours 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.
