Australia’s largest motor auction enterprise, Manheim Auctions conducted an energy saving lighting program in mid 2014 in conjunction with Middy’s Abbotsford and the Middy’s TechEnergy Team. The program involved replacing 170 x 400W metal halide highbays with just 133 x Primo 155W LED highbays and one 115W LED high bay.
