The Cairns Post are pioneering the use of 120W LED IP65 Floodlights in place of 400W halogens in their press room.
The trial, beginning this week, will see the floodlights, which are the equivalent of 2x400W halogens, installed in paper storage areas.
As the lights have no heat-up period, they can be activated by movement sensors, and have great advantages in terms of maintenance, as well as car park lighting.
Buildings manager and Carbon Council Head Andrew Kilgallon has calculated the project to have a payback period of 3.6 years, which reduces to 2.7 years including maintenance savings.
