The Requirement:

The Prolite Projects team were contacted to plan a lighting design for underneath a new mezzanine area that was being built within part of a large warehouse.

The lighting needed to provide enough light for the stores personnel to pack and wrap pallets and parcels.

The customer wanted to maximise the space that could be used below the mezzanine for storage therefore was interested in low LED profile fittings.

The Solution:

Prolite’s range of Lo-Pro Fittings were the perfect solution to this requirement.

The Prolite project team planned the installation within the Relux Lighting simulation programme to ensure the correct number of fittings were installed to meet the required light levels in the under mezzanine area.

Ritelite provided an excellent service in both specification and supply of the lighting for our new mezzanine area. The area has been transformed by the bright, pure white, LED fixtures. We’re delighted.

Farmer Barnes

Prolite installs LED Lighting for the expanding Farmer Barnes Dairy in Leicestershire.

Overview:

One of the Prolite project’s teams latest projects was to design an LED lighting scheme for the new building complex at Alma Bank Farm in Somerby, south of Melton Mowbray.

The 400 acres surrounding the new building complex has been farmed by the Barnes family since 1941. 4 generations have worked on the farm which has a cheese contract with the Long Clawson Dairy co-operative, the principal producer of Stilton cheese in the world. The co-operative is made up of 45 members taking milk from Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire only as the 3 single origins that milk for Stilton cheese must come from.

The 130 strong Ayrshire and British Friesian x Ayrshire milking cow herd are expanding leading to the requirement for new buildings and a larger milking parlour. The new buildings, manufactured by Wales-based manufacturer Shufflebottom of Cross Hands, have replaced older, much smaller buildings at South Fields Farm in Somerby village and the new site has the added benefit of its own entrance from a minor road linking Owston to Pickwell.

The new building complex consists of the milking parlour, 14,000-litre bulk tank, calving area, cow housing, straw storage and visitor education and viewing areas. The roof area of the largest building is 1.3 acres, covered with 80 tonnes of P6R fibre cement roof cladding, with rooflights on one-fifth of the area.

The two largest buildings are 220 feet long, and just over 110 feet and almost 71 feet wide respectively. The smaller third building is still 80 feet by 20 feet, and all three are 16 feet to the eaves. The open-sided galvanised barn on the edge of the site, which has a capacity of 80,000 cubic feet, is 100 feet long, 40 feet wide and 20 feet up to the eaves.

The Requirement:

The Prolite Project’s teams brief was to light the buildings with energy efficient LED lighting to meet required lux levels especially in the milking parlour so that staff had sufficient light to attached all the milking equipment properly.

The Solution:

LED 150W High bay disc light fittings were fitted throughout the new buildings giving the owners a long term LED solution that would meet all their requirements. The installation was completed in late summer and is now in full operation.

Overview:

Ritelite have recently been working closely with Boels Rental in both existing depots and on new planned depots to ensure that the lighting installed is safe, functional and efficient.

One of the most current projects has been focused on a new Boels Rental Depot in Newcastle. Using the site plans the team was able to generate lighting plots and recommend a lighting solution for the new depot.

The products installed were Ritelite’s new 150W linear LED Bay lights fitted with Microwave sensors. The fittings met the required specification for the client and had been installed at different depots previously with good feedback and performance.

The Solution:

I have been working with Ashley Newton at Ritelite Systems for over a year now and have always found him to be very responsive to our demands, be it for lighting designs, quotations or specifications of products.

Good lighting is key to ensuring our estates are compliant, energy efficient and safe places for our colleagues to work in. The benefit of working with Ritelite is that once provided with our drawings and requirements they produce all the lighting designs for us, suggest an appropriate product and provide us with a quote to supply the equipment. Buying direct from the manufacturer, where we have a direct single point of contact has proved so much easier than dealing with an Electrical Wholesalers, as we have done previously.

Ashley has recently helped us with our new depot in Newcastle, a site that will enable us to grow our presence in the North East of England and better serve our customers with our ever expanding range of equipment. We decided to make use of 19 of their newest luminaries, the Prolite 150W LED High Bay Linear Light with Microwave Sensors. The fittings arrived well packaged on a pallet and from opening the first unit I was struck by the quality of the fitting, no cheap tinny enclosures, no thin lenses and no exposed dazzlingly bright LED chips. Installation of the fittings was also a breeze, a pair of sturdy eyes pre-cast into the aluminium heat sink made hanging the fittings easy, as did the pre-wired flex of more than ample length. I’ve had experience of fittings with Microwave detectors in the past, I’ve also had the experience of repeatedly having to go up to each sensor, unscrew a cover and mess around with little switches to get the right programming, not the case with these fittings, all the programming can be changed by remote control from the ground, full control of detection range, dimming levels and durations and best of all at what ambient level to turn off altogether.

Are these the best fittings I’ve used in my 14 years as an Electrician? Undoubtedly!

We look forward to working with Ritelite Systems again as Boels Rental continues its bold expansion plans across the UK.
