New lights cut Newcastle Airport car park costs
21.11.11
Lights developed by LED specialist MHA Lighting has helped Newcastle Airport to slash its airport car park costs. MHA has supplied 370 lights for the car park that use less than a third of the power of the lights used previously.
MHA managing director Tom Harrison said: ‘Our LEDs use two-thirds of the energy of our closest LED competitor and electricity prices are continuing to rise. Organisations are seeing a 20 per cent rise in their energy costs and want energy saving solutions like ours, without having to compromise on light quality. The quality of the LED lights also improves safety and security at the airport by eradicating pockets of darkness and making CCTV footage clearer.’
Newcastle Airport is the second UK airport to choose MHA Lighting’s patented LED technology, after Manchester Airport fitted 2,500 lights at the Terminal Two and Three car parks this year, saving £80,000 per annum on its electricity bills. Terry Clarke, energy and sustainability project manager at Newcastle Airport, said the new system would save around 100 tonnes of CO2 every year, as well as cutting maintenance costs.
