Brief
With 420 stores, 350 of which have 'Vets for Pets' veterinary services onsite, Pets at Home invited Glamox to provide a commercially economical lighting solution that suited both its retail and clinical needs and would deliver significant energy savings.
Solution
We selected our HI-MAX® luminaires as the most suitable range for Pets at Home’s large open plan spaces. With sustainability and capability in mind, our bespoke design also included colour temperature change panels for use in the veterinary surgeries. These luminaires would allow vets to change the ambience and set a relaxing tone to calm down the animals. The entire lighting system was to be controlled wirelessly with a handheld tablet.
Result
The operating theatre areas now have the capability to adjust the luminaires’ colour temperature between 2,000 and 5,700k, allowing the vets to relax the animals as well as operate with clinical level lighting. In stores, each luminaire was specifically built with a wire transceiver, which allows the control system to monitor levels of daylight and automatically adjust interior lighting levels in response, to optimise working conditions.
Our energy efficient and innovative solutions suited the retail and clinical needs of Pets at Home, and provided the company with an estimated 55 per cent improvement in energy saving. Our lighting systems generated energy cost savings of £2.9m per year and enabled Pets at Home to win an ‘edie’ energy saving award.
