John Lewis Birmingham, which opens later this year, will be the first full- line department with LED lighting throughout. “We have been really pleased with results of LED lighting and that's why we are putting our faith in it when it comes to Birmingham, which will be our first new full line department store in three years,” said Tim Harrison, Director of Store Formats for John Lewis.


The John Lewis Partnership has already seen significant financial and energy savings from LED and they are confident that there are more benefits to come: “We’ve started to test some of the latest generation of LEDs that are providing greater quality of light, are cheaper to install and further reduce our energy consumption, so it's win, win, win for us as the industry continues to get behind LED technology” said Toby Marlow.
