The challenge
LTN needed to:
- Improve its apron light levels to meet the requirements of CAP 168 and EASA regulations.
- And reduce the energy demand by 40-50%.
To help do this they put the project out to tender in 2017. A tender we won, with the remit to design, supply, install and commission the new floodlight system at the airport.
Our solution:
Following a site visit, our Lighting Design Team decided the existing high-mast infrastructure could be used to help meet the challenges LTN faced – saving both time and money. So, we retrofitted the 40 high-masts with 445W and 705W asymmetric luminaires from our Titan series.
