Bikeworld
The Opportunity
Bikeworld, situated in their recognisable glass-front showroom on the Long Mile Road, Dublin, are the Irish supplier of Kawasaki motorbikes. They also offer a huge range of biking apparel and accessories.
Some areas of the showroom were dark and it was costing the company a considerable sum to run the old high-wattage fluorescents. The window lights in particular were proving a high draw on electricity as they were lit at night in order to showcase the bikes.
The Process
Using UrbanVolt’s zero capex Light as a Service, Bikeworld was retrofitted with almost 400 fittings across the site, including the public showrooms, storage areas, back of house, and the offices. The UrbanVolt team installed the fittings outside of opening hours to avoid disruption to day to day operations.
Light levels have dramatically improved and energy consumption has plummeted. The new lighting highlights the quality of the products on sale, and Bikeworld has reduced their lighting bill without any capital expenditure.
Urbanvolt does exactly what it says on the tin, so much so I went back for solar as a service after we got our lights done
