Frankie & Benny's

Frankie & Benny’s restaurants are carrying out a nationwide project to improve the restaurant lighting whilst maintaining their distinctive brand design. This has been achieved by installing a combination of new LED fittings to the public restaurant areas and replacing all the old lighting in the kitchen and backroom areas with new improved energy efficient lighting and control gear. All work has been carried out with minimal disruption to the general public with no restaurant shutting for any time during normal opening hours. Carbon Energy completed all the surveys, lighting designs, lamp purchasing and installation work in the restaurants.

New energy efficient lighting systems in 195 restaurant nationwide
Average payback 1.6 years
All paybacks include survey, design, installation and equipment costs
Significant reduction in required lamp replacements (average lamp life 3 years)
Technology used – mixture of LEDs, CFLs and improved control
No restaurants were shut to the public during any of the work

“Frankie & Benny’s have achieved a substantial reduction in electricity consumption throughout the restaurants. Working with Carbon Energy has also helped to reduce our Carbon Footprint and maintenance costs.”
