Manchester Airport achieves energy savings with CU Phosco's apron lighting upgrade

The FL800D-2 floodlights offer various optical distribution options and elevation angles, allowing for customized luminaire photometric output tailored to the project's specifications. Features such as full azimuth rotation, tilt functions, and built-in drivers contribute to an efficient lighting solution.

CU Phosco’s Contracts Division managed a complete turnkey service from initial surveys and lighting design to manufacturing and installing the bespoke lantern carriages. This implementation led to a substantial 65% reduction in energy costs for Manchester Airport Group, aligning with sustainability goals.

The new lighting solution enhances apron visibility with minimal glare, ensuring safe operations for pilots and airport personnel. It also improves safety by guaranteeing accurate identification of aircraft markings through its spectral distribution.

Cally Revell, senior project manager at Capital Delivery MAG (Manchester Airport Group), stated: “We are proud to connect passengers in the North with over 200 destinations worldwide and are investing in our facilities to ensure we continue to offer a high-quality service. We are pleased with the results of the work that CU Phosco has undertaken on apron lighting, which means we now have a more efficient lighting system that is cost effective but meets all regulatory requirements.”
