Despite the very high standard of the development, residents at Newsom Place and their property managers had become increasingly unhappy that their car park lighting had become outdated and now posed a potential risk to health and safety; maintenance costs were exorbitant and the failing system was no longer fit for purpose. The client was also holding a quotation running into thousands of pounds for urgent emergency lighting repairs that were needed to bring the car park up to current requirements.
The maintenance team had done their best to repair the system but the task was never ending, so property
managers Remus Property contacted Future Lighting for help. We promptly arranged a survey and supplied
an analysis of the existing lighting systems.
As a result, we proposed a direct replacement LED fitting with integral occupancy & light level detection and were delighted to be commissioned to assist with the design and build of a new, energy efficient lighting scheme which would replace the existing system while still complementing the original design of the building.
First steps were to build a custom-made system and provide a free trial. Residents were given the opportunity to look at the proposed installation and choose a preferred colour. Warm white 3000k was chosen and the new design began to take shape.
Lighting for the 100+ space car park was completed in less than two days without disruption to the building, its internal or external decor or any impact on residents.

Both Remus Property Management and the Newsom Place residents were delighted to discover that their return on investment (ROI) will only be 13 months. In addition Future Lighting has given a five-year guarantee on the refurbishment and FREE on-going maintenance.
