When a leading European healthcare supply and logistics company relocated to a vast 355,914 sq ft headquarters in Bedfordshire, they needed a lighting partner capable of supporting a facility of this scale, one that could enhance safety, streamline operations, and deliver long-term efficiency.
Intulux was appointed to design and supply a fully integrated lighting scheme for the warehouse, storage areas, and onsite gym, ensuring each space met the functional demands of a high-performance logistics environment.
The Brief
-
Provide a high-efficiency lighting system for a large operational facility.
-
Integrate advanced controls for smarter, safer day-to-day use.
-
Deliver an emergency lighting solution that simplified testing and reduced ongoing maintenance costs.
-
Collaborate closely with the electrical contractor to achieve a professional, high-quality finish without unnecessary budget escalation.
Our Approach
Working across such an expansive site required solutions that were both technically robust and operationally intuitive.
We designed and supplied an energy-efficient lighting system with advanced controls tailored to each working zone. This was paired with a wireless emergency auto-self-test system, enabling real-time reporting and significantly reducing the time and cost traditionally spent locating damaged emergency fittings or carrying out manual inspections.
Close collaboration with the electrical contractor ensured seamless installation and a refined, high-end aesthetic throughout the new headquarters. By engineering efficiency into both product selection and system design, we delivered exceptional performance without compromising budgets.
The Outcome
The completed scheme delivered measurable value across the board:
-
Operational efficiency enhanced: intelligent lighting and controls optimised the facility’s day-to-day performance.
-
Safety elevated: automated emergency testing and reporting ensured full compliance with minimal manual intervention.
-
Maintenance costs reduced: instant fault detection saved the end user time and avoided unnecessary contractor call-outs.
-
A clean, professional finish was achieved: technical performance met design expectations across every zone.
Why It Matters
Large-scale facilities demand solutions that work harder, for safety, for cost control, and for long-term reliability.
This project demonstrates Intulux’s ability to combine technical expertise with practical efficiency, delivering lighting that supports both the people and the processes operating within the space.
Because the right lighting doesn’t just illuminate a building; it elevates its performance.
