Case Study: East Gippsland Stock Exchange

  • 85% Energy Reduction
  • 2,880 tonnes of carbon saved
  • $760,000 savings over lifespan of the system

The East Gippsland livestock exchange is one of Australia’s largest saleyards.

This premises has received a well-needed lighting upgrade to help improve safety for those walking on the catwalks as well as giving brighter, cleaner lighting to view the livestock. The resident cows were mooing with excitement as they enjoyed the new lights and the saleyard manager gave these kind words:

“The outcome looks absolutely fantastic – ELWA Is very fortunate to have the team of electricians that they do. The care, attention to detail and professionalism was second to none.”

This project was met with the major technical challenge of working around the layout and configuration of the yard. Our team was able to execute the installation flawlessly and we’d proudly stake this livestock exchange as Australia’s best-lit!

These lights allow the bidders to see their potential purchases clearly and we utilized products which focused on reducing glare and light spill for a truly impressive outcome.

The fittings installed come with two extremely useful features to help reduce the ongoing electrical cost of lighting.

  1. Smart daylight sensors which will only turn the lights on when necessary.
  2. Motion sensors to make sure lights are only operating in areas where there are people or livestock.
