  • Case Study: Tesco Extra – Bletchley Park

About our Client

Tesco is one of the UK’s leading retailers, recognised for its commitment to sustainability, safety, and providing inviting environments for shoppers and staff.

At the Tesco Extra – Bletchley Park site, ensuring high-quality, energy-efficient lighting was a priority to enhance both safety and customer experience while meeting Tesco’s rigorous specifications.

The Challenge

The existing lighting system at Tesco Extra Bletchley Park was failing to meet Tesco’s strict requirements for illumination, energy efficiency, and environmental standards. The old high masts and luminaires needed replacing to improve light levels, reduce energy consumption, and align with Tesco’s sustainability goals.

Tesco Extra required a reliable supplier to provide high-performance lighting that met their specific criteria. Abacus Lighting was tasked with delivering a solution that would achieve these goals and ensure long-lasting, efficient performance.

The Solution

Abacus Lighting supplied 17 10m high masts, each fitted with the innovative Orion Pro LED luminaires, a product designed to meet Tesco’s exacting standards.

The Orion Pro LED was selected for its superior energy efficiency, excellent light uniformity, and low-glare design. By incorporating these luminaires, the new system not only meets Tesco’s specifications but also significantly reduces energy consumption and supports their environmental commitments.

Key Benefits:

• Enhanced safety and visibility for customers and staff.
• Energy savings through efficient, low-maintenance LED technology.
• A solution aligned with Tesco’s sustainability objectives.

Abacus Lighting is proud to have contributed to Tesco’s vision for a brighter, safer, and more sustainable Bletchley Park store.

Orion Pro LED – The Benefits

Energy Efficiency: The new LED lighting system reduces energy consumption by up to 50%, leading to substantial cost savings on electricity bills.

Lower Maintenance Costs: With a longer operational lifespan, the Orion Pro requires less frequent replacements and repairs, further reducing maintenance expenses.

Enhanced Safety: Consistent and bright lighting improves visibility in the car park, enhancing safety for both customers and staff, and deterring potential security issues.

Environmental Impact: The reduced energy consumption translates to a smaller carbon footprint which contributes to Tesco’s sustainability targets and environmental stewardship.

Direct Retrofit: The Orion Pro LED serves as a direct retrofit to the twin lamp 400W Orion 1, simplifying the upgrade process without the need for significant modifications.

Versatile Beam Distribution: The Orion Pro LED is available in 180-degree asymmetrical and 360-degree symmetrical beam distribution options, allowing for tailored lighting solutions to meet the specific needs of the car park.

Meeting The Standards: Abacus Lighting’s specialist lighting design team specified the Orion Pro LED to increase energy efficiency and because the Orion Pro meets the British Safety Standard BS5489 and European Safety Standard BS EN12464-1 for lighting urban centres and public amenity areas.
