We first installed the current lighting in 1994. Over the past 30 years our Sparta luminaires have transitioned from fluorescent to energy saving LED, using a removable retrofit gear tray.
Each upgrade has ensured the installed lighting uses less energy than its predecessor, without the need for new luminaire bodies and expensive rewiring. The latest LED gear tray upgrade also includes wireless lighting controls to provide additional energy management.
Lighting Control Systems
The retrofit LED gear trays included DALI-2 drivers along with Casambi wireless nodes . The 600+ luminaires were programmed into Zones and controlled upon PIR activation by vehicles and pedestrians at various access points . The floors were programmed into zones and lighting would only go to a high output level when PIR’s are activated and then dim down to a low level after a period of time . With Timed and Daylight control the car park is also able to achieve good energy savings

The robust construction of the luminaires, in addition to sustainable retrofit technology upgrades, has helped ensure the longevity of the installation. The Sparta’s IK16 vandal resistance rating means these fittings can resist an impact of 150 joules of energy, providing peace of mind to the car park operator and their customers.
Bold Lane offers 24 hour secure parking, with energy efficient LED lighting to provide a safe and welcoming environment. The lighting now uses significantly less energy than the original 1994 installation, and a the wireless lighting control system provides additional energy saving by utilising presence detection.
