Sainsbury’s Leek.
AS PART OF THE COOPERATION, SAINSBURY’S STORE IN LEEK IS THE FIRST SUPERMARKET INSTALLATION TO UTILISE GE’S LUMINATION™ LINEAR SUSPENDED LUMINAIRES, A THIN AND UNIFORM ILLUMINATED LIGHTING PANEL SUSPENDING FROM THE CEILING, POWERED WITH INTRINSIX™ OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY.
Food retailer Sainsbury’s operates over 1,000 stores across the UK, including 440 convenience stores and employs around 150,000 people. The carbon step change programme forms part of Sainsbury’s 20x20 Sustainability Plan, an industry-leading plan that is the cornerstone of Sainsbury’s business
strategy and sets out 20 targets to be achieved by 2020.To help achieve this, Sainsbury’s has partnered with GE Lighting to install the latest LED energy efficient lighting solutions.
The first project of its kind, the new Sainsbury’s store on Churnet Way, in
Leek, Staffordshireis a 40,000sq ft store with a wide range of popular Sainsbury’s food products and a selection of general merchandise items. The store, which was built with a number of other energy efficiency initiatives, openedits doors on the 16th January 2013.

“To find a lighting solution that won’t compromise our customers’ shopping experience yet can help reduce our environmental impact also providing operating cost savings is key to us achieving our stretching carbon reduction target.” - Paul Crewe, Sainsbury’s Head of Sustainability.
The store is targeted to achieve a 59% reduction in energy required for lighting or 180 tonnes CO2eq pa, with overall environmental targets set for the store (2012/13 vs. 2005/06) of a 55% reduction in carbon emissions and 50% reduction in kWh gas and electricity usage.
To meet these requirements, GE Lighting proposed to install edgelit luminaires with its latest LED technology innovation, and Sainsbury’s also became the first supermarket using GE’s LuminationTM Linear Suspended luminaires with Intrinsix™ Optical technology. Perfect for aisle or gondola lighting, Lumination™ Linear Suspended is a thin and uniform illuminated lighting panel suspending from the ceiling, powered with IntrinsixTM Optical technology to maximise the performance, control and efficiency of the LEDs within the fixture. The double asymmetric distribution provides glare free, vertical and horizontal illuminance directing light evenly onto the shelves and the floor. Lumination™ 1200x300 Suspended and 600x600 Recessed luminaires were installed across the restaurant, bakery and office areas of the store. These luminaires provide superior substitution to LFL technology with better light quality, significant energy & maintenance savings and a generally improved look & feel. As a sustainable alternative to HID
technology, GE InfusionTM Downlights and Track Spots utilising GE Infusion™ LED modules were installed for ambient and accent lighting. These high performing, interchangeable, future-proof modular LED modules deliver around 4x the illuminance of typical retail ambient lighting, providing the power to create dramatic effect in the retail stores. For the outdoor car park and petrol filling station GE’s LED Area Lighter offers uniform white light, with the Area Lighter’s modular optical ring design producing superior vertical luminance, efficiently delivering the required amount of light without wasteful or irritating light spill into neighbouring areas.

The solution.
Sainsbury’s worked with GE Lighting to create a scheme that utilises multiple LED lighting solutions to maximise energy savings, lower carbon emissions and extend maintenance cycles, but at the same time enhance the shopping experience for Sainsbury’s customers.
With GE Lighting’s LED solutions Sainsbury’s achieved the 59% energy reduction target. The contemporary design of the fixtures added to the design ideals of
the store and the uniform light improved the interior environment creating a better shopping experience – whilst outdoors, the solution provides enhanced lighting in the car park, with visual perception sharpened.
“Together with GE we’re delighted to be announcing another world-first supermarket installation of a highly innovative technology for our stores,” said Paul Crewe, Sainsbury’s Head of Sustainability. “We
trialled the first installation of the new LED lighting in one of our local convenience stores in Scotland late last year and the initial findings were so positive that we decided to install it in our new Leek supermarket. We are confident that it will deliver an enhanced shopping experience as well as significant energy savings, helping us getting a big step closer to our sustainability commitment.”
