Crea SRL, Italy in partnership with Helitec

The client, Crucitti Srl, based in Italy, is renowned for its expertise in developing advanced technological solutions for various industries, including aerospace, defence, and telecommunications. The company’s commitment to quality and innovation aligns perfectly with the core values of Ansell Lighting, represented by Helitec Lighting as the supplier in Italy. The challenge was to optimise the lighting conditions within its facility, where the existing lighting system was outdated, inefficient, and failed to provide adequate illumination for various tasks. This upgrade also sought to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs while improving overall lighting quality.

The proposed solution was to utilise the Ansell Z-LED PERFORMANCE range to comprehensively address the challenge. These lights were designed to deliver superior levels of illumination, while simultaneously minimising energy consumption and reducing maintenance requirements. Equipped with advanced features such as adjustable colour temperature and dimming capabilities, the Z-LED Performance fixtures offer unparalleled versatility and efficiency.

Ansell Lighting offers three Highbay and one Lowbay variants within the Z-LED portfolio, encompassing 15 different wattage and lamp colour options across the range. With various additional dimming, lighting control, emergency, and sensor options, alongside a range of reflector, lens, and mounting bracket assemblies, the extensive range provides specifiers with the opportunity to select the optimum fitting solution for their particular application.

With the specification agreed and finalised, the installation of Ansell’s Z-LED PERFORMANCE fixtures commenced swiftly, and the installation team ensured seamless integration with the client’s existing infrastructure while adhering to stringent quality standards and safety protocols. Following the successful installation of the Ansell LED Performance fittings, the client experienced a remarkable transformation, with a significantly enhanced lighting environment.

The Z-LED PERFORMANCE is a robust LED highbay, ideal for industrial, commercial, and retail applications. Its die-cast, powder-coated construction and heatsink provide optimal thermal performance, while offering alternative installation options such as drop rods, jack chain, and catenary wire. Bracket accessories for ceiling or wall mounting are also available. It is ingress-protected to IP65 and pre-wired with 3 metres of H05RN-F cable for ease and speed of installation. The fitting is available in both 4000K and 6500K versions, with 1-10V dimming as standard, and an OCTO Smart Control version available upon request. It is offered with an emergency option and a microwave sensor, as well as automatic 1-10V dimming with time delay and pre-set dimming levels. The sensor programming options, controlled via dipswitch or remote control, include settings for hold time, stand-by dim level, and more. Supplied with a 110° beam distribution pattern, additional lens options of mid (85°) and narrow (55°) beam angles are available, providing an ideal solution for racking aisles.

Following installation, the client reported a significant improvement in illumination, providing uniform and low-glare lighting throughout the facility, which improved visibility and productivity for the company’s employees. The energy consumption was also significantly reduced, leading to substantial cost savings over time. The adjustable colour temperature and dimming capabilities of the Z-LED PERFORMANCE fixtures allowed the client to customise the lighting settings according to specific tasks and preferences, optimising comfort and ambience. The fittings were engineered for durability and longevity, minimising maintenance requirements to ensure reliable operation for many years to come.

In conclusion, the partnership between Ansell Lighting and Helitec exemplifies the power of innovative lighting solutions in optimising workplace environments and achieving sustainability goals. By leveraging the Ansell Z-LED portfolio of luminaires, the client has successfully overcome its lighting challenges while enhancing operational efficiency and employee well-being.
