nergy saving expert Megaman UK has supplied its 4W LED MR11 reflector lamps for use throughout the display areas at Jersey based Rivoli Jewellers and the Swarovski franchise store.
This retro-fit
installation has dramatically reduced heat output throughout both stores, whilst reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs. As all of the jewellery display areas were illuminated, excessive heat output from the old 20W halogen lamps made both stores uncomfortable environments to work in so local Jersey supplier RM Lighting was called in to resolve the problem. As all existing fittings were in
good working order and didn’t need replacing, RM suggested a simple retrofit using Megaman’s 4W LED lamps. Part of Megaman’s LED Professional Range, the 4W GU4 MR11 reflector lamps offer 50,000 hours life and are an ideal substitute for halogen, providing significant energy savings.
