LEDVANCE realizes a lighting concept for the storage and production rooms of BMB Natuursteen that is tailored to the needs of employees and customers.
THE CHALLENGE
BMB Natuursteen, a Belgian business with 50+ years of experience in custom natural stone projects, needed a new lighting solution for their showroom, warehouse, and production hall. They aimed for improved energy efficiency, enhanced light quality, reduced maintenance costs, and longer product lifespan.
THE SOLUTION
In collaboration with Velektro, LEDVANCE analyzed BMB Natuursteen's lighting needs and devised a robust, energy-efficient lighting solution suitable for the dusty environment. They recommended using 451 LEDVANCE Damp Proof 5X Throughwiring 1500 46W 840 IP65 luminaires with integrated through wiring, which simplified and expedited the installation process in all production and storage areas.
THE BENEFITS
The use of IP65 fittings ensures resistance to moisture and dust, critical for countering dust pollution in stone processing. These lights also boast a remarkable 70,000-hour service life (L70), reducing maintenance costs and leading to substantial energy savings of up to 60% when compared to old fluorescent lamp systems. Furthermore, these lights are ENEC certified, and their optimized light quality in various building areas enhances product presentation in the exhibition room while also improving occupational safety for employees in the warehouse and production hall.
SUMMARY
LEDVANCE and Velektro are creating an energy-efficient LED lighting solution for BMB Natuursteen in Belgium. This innovative concept cuts costs and maintenance, enhances light quality, and boosts comfort and safety for visitors and employees.
Due to the complexity of the site, it was a plus that we were able to install the fixtures quickly and easily.
