Background
Mobiltel EAD is the first GSM operator in Bulgaria. The company was
founded in 1994 and since then has become not only the leading
supplier of mobile communications in the country, but also a topnotch telecom operator, offering combined and innovative solutions
for personal and business communication. It is also Bulgaria’s largest
retail chain.
The challenge
Over the last three years, in line with the vision of a top-notch
telecom operator, the company has gradually changed the corporate
design of its shops. The latest design trends relating to ‘green’ require
a change in the interior of the commercial premises. In 2010 the
company decided to implement a new corporate design in more than
50 (out of a total of 250) of its commercial premises. This decision
was driven by the need for a new, more modern and ‘greener’ shop
image, with the important added benefit of saving on energy. Lighting
plays an important part in achieving this ambition.
The solution
It was decided to install downlights with built-in Philips LED Fortimo
Twistable modules and specially designed downlights with 3W and
5W LUXEON Rebel LEDs. This lighting solution fulfilled the main
criteria – a functional design, a stylish solution and energy savings.
“We have undertaken an ambitious task in choosing new luminaires,”
says engineer Nelly Peteva from the Construction and Building
Management Department of Mobiltel EAD. She explains that different
parameters had to be met: matching the luminaires suggested in the
architectural office’s project, being energy-efficient with a long service
life, and, last but not least, providing a comfortable lighting ambience
for the employees and their customers. “After a thorough exploration
of the market we chose IKIS SL OOD as the luminaire supplier and
their series of downlights with built-in Philips LED Fortimo Twistable
1100 20W/830 modules, as well as the specially designed downlights
produced for us with built-in LUXEON Rebel LED groups, with
wattages of 3W and 5W respectively.”
Benefits
Nelly Peteva is very pleased with this integrated lighting solution
from IKIS SL OOD and Philips. “LED lighting is really beneficial to us.
LED luminaires’ long life enables us to make savings on the maintenance
costs of our commercial premises. We have achieved high energy
efficiency in comparison with the same type of luminaire with
metal-halide light sources. We have also obtained excellent lighting,
close to natural light, and have improved the comfort of our
employees and customers.”
