Manchester Central Car Park
Lighting Case Study
Luceco Lights Manchester Central Car Park
Manchester Central Convention Complex is an award-winning venue in the heart of Manchester, an iconic city feature for over 130 years. The complex was originally Manchester Central Railway Station, one of the city's main railway terminals.
With the capacity to handle large-scale conferences and exhibitions, good car parking and traffic management is of great importance. Luceco has recently supplied over 550 Climate luminaires to relight the parking facilities. With cost effectiveness in mind as well as striving to improve the complex’s carbon footprint, ageing T8 fluorescent fittings were removed and replaced with energy efficient 6ft twin output LED luminaires. Luceco was chosen above other lighting manufactures due to the performance of the Climate luminaire and the significant energy savings that could be achieved.
Climate Extra comprises of a robust LED IP65 rated luminaire offering an efficacy of 140 Llm/cW with increased performance for improved energy efficiency. Integral microwave sensors in on /off or 10% corridor
function or batten fit PIR sensors are available, as well as DALI drivers and emergency back-up variants including Self-Test.
“Car parks and loading areas often have low levels of natural light but a lot of traffic. Therefore, a lighting design needs to be carefully considered to create a safe space using luminaires made to withstand the demands of the environment. Due to their nature, these areas are often constantly lit even when not in use. Clever use of lighting controls can further reduce energy consumption, using integral microwave sensors programmed to reduce the lux level and wattage of the luminaire. This allows energy to be saved without reducing the communal area to darkness, providing a safe lit environment for users”.
