Annual savings
Solas was appointed to deliver a lighting upgrade for Just Drinks retail store. The project aimed to improve energy efficiency and light quality throughout the shop, creating a more inviting environment for customers while supporting the business’s ongoing efforts to reduce operating costs.
The Client & Challenge
Just Drinks is a busy retail store serving its community with a wide range of products.
Its existing fluorescent lighting system had become inefficient and inconsistent, resulting in uneven light levels and high running costs.
The client sought a modern lighting solution that would deliver energy savings, lower maintenance requirements, and enhance the store’s overall appearance to improve the customer shopping experience.
Following the lighting refit by Solas, our store looks far more inviting and appears to have had a complete refit – the difference is that dramatic! Obviously, the fact that we’ll be saving over 70% of our lighting energy cost is a clear benefit, which brings with it the added bonus of a lot less maintenance headaches.
