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.” ©2011 Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. All rights reserved.
