Award-winning lighting company is helping car park providers to slash energy bills and CO2
emissions whilst improving customer safety
MHA Lighting, based in Greater Manchester, uses two-thirds of the energy of its closest competitors and provides bespoke light fittings for a variety of clients
from both public and private sectors. MHA’s LED lighting solutions are not only
award winning, but have also been praised in the Park Mark Award assessments with positive feedback on quality and how the lighting enhances safety and security. One such example where MHA Lighting
delivered on all of the above comes from a project undertaken for Wigan Council. Here MHA provided a powerful solution
to replace lights at the Council’s Water Street Multi Storey Car Park, with their energy efficient LB30 fitting, which is just 45 watts inclusive of ballast.
The unique LED technology means the car park is using 45% less energy than the pre-existing system and saving 35 tonnes of CO2 a year.
Wigan Council’s Energy Officer, Barry
Foster, said: “Illuminating Water Street Car Park in a cost effective, energy efficient way has been particularly difficult given the way it is constructed and its original lighting layout. Initially we set ourselves a target to reduce the car parks energy use by 50% while improving overall lighting levels. The good news is that since project works

completion we are achieving our energy reduction target with savings on-going. We are also delighted with the improved light levels and uniformity within the car park.”
How does the technology work? MHA is the only lighting manufacturer to use waveguide technology to shine light sideways into an encapsulation – not directly outwards. This avoids direct contact with the eye and provides a safe and efficient light output.
The patented waveguide technology
offers distinct advantages over other LED manufacturers as it allows the company to replicate the light quality and uniformity of traditional lighting. MHA also use acrylic rods to amplify and control the light output, reducing the number of LEDs required. This means they can use high power LEDs, draw less current and have no need to diffuse the output.
