London, UK (November 10th, 2011) - Dialight
(LSE: DIA.L), the innovative global leader in LED lighting technology,
is proud to announce another industry award for its
DuroSite
LED High Bay, this time for LUX magazine's
Industrial Retrofit of the Year. The award
was collected by customer Paul Cope, Managing Director of
March Foods, at the first annual LUX Live trade show.
The winning installation is a 6,500 sq metre warehouse
facility in Cambridgeshire where the 150W Dialight LED
High Bays paired with occupancy sensors replaced 84 450W
high pressure sodium fittings, resulting in more than 70%
energy savings, while reducing the amount of CO2
emissions by 100 tonnes per annum. In addition to
the energy savings and environmental benefits, March
Foods now enjoys maintenance free lighting and no longer
requires regular use of a cherry picker to replace
lights.
