Over the past few years Mackwell have worked with Primark to provide emergency lighting solutions to support their energy efficiency initiatives.


CASE OVERVIEW

With consumers being more demanding than ever, and shopping for low cost clothing no longer means low expectations when it comes to the retail experience. Constantly striving to evolve and innovate, Primark believes that its latest store should always be its best store.

The increase in the number of stores has resulted in a 21% increase in energy consumption over the last 3 years. However, through energy-efficiency projects the energy intensity (kWh/sqft) has reduced by 11% since 2015.

Over the past few years we have worked directly with Primark to provide emergency lighting solutions to support these initiatives, with some of the most recent works being in Milan, Rome and Madrid.

SOLUTION 

The company selected a combination of Mackwell’s original, ultra-discreet XYLUX® LR emergency luminaire and the high performance, self-contained XYLUX LD5. 

The XYLUX® LR’s unique articulated design provides a robust and easy to install solution, with the Mackwell’s AutoTest functionality, which allows for any faults to be identified easily. Mackwell’s XYLUX® LD5 emergency LED luminaire offers a surface mountable or recessed solution, being an efficient alternative to the old 8W fluorescent bulkhead. It’s snap in optical lenses gives both open-area and escape route distribution, again with the Mackwell’s convenient AutoTest functionality.

The products supplied includes Mackwell’s unique SmartCharge. SmartCharge is tailored to suit NiMH batteries and prefer “pulse” charging to constant current charging. The pulse charging means batteries are only topped up resulting in the operating temperatures of the batteries being significantly reduced. This provides a dramatic reduction in power consumption of the devices. By using Mackwell products, the buildings energy usage monitoring systems would record significant energy reductions.

SUMMARY
  • Mackwell's ultra-discreet, recessed XYLUX® LR emergency luminaire used.
  • It's articulated design provides a robust and easy to install solution.
  • Mackwell’s XYLUX® LD5 emergency LED luminaire offers a surface mountable or recessed solution.
  • SmartCharge™ applies an intermittent charging duty cycle designed for use with NiMH batteries.
  • This provides energy efficient charging maintenance, reduced operating temperatures and optimum service life of NiMH batteries.
  • Mackwell’s AutoTest functionality allows for any faults to be identified easily.
