Project overview
COMMERCIAL CARPARK LED LIGHTING UPGRADE
An LED lighting upgrade resolved recurring carpark lighting faults, improved ground-level illumination and remained maintenance-free through the five-year review in 2026.
Customer need
A commercial carpark in Thornton was experiencing ongoing issues with ageing metal halide area lights. Fittings were regularly failing, and access required an EWP, making repairs time-consuming and costly. Investigation found the existing cabling was insufficiently sized for the metal halide start-up load, contributing to intermittent faults that required site visits to reset tripped circuits and left the public area without lighting.
What we did
- Investigated the recurring lighting faults and existing electrical installation.
- Identified the metal halide start-up load as the cause of the intermittent faults.
- Completed an LED lighting design using the existing poles and cabling.
- Selected LED fittings to suit the lighting plan.
- Installed the new LED fittings in 2021 in accordance with the lighting plan.
How it helped
The upgrade eliminated urgent call-outs to reset tripped lighting circuits, increased the light reaching the ground and almost eliminated ongoing maintenance. When the project was reviewed five years later in 2026, the lighting installation had remained maintenance-free since completion.
