PKE Lighting Go 100% Power Gems
PKE Lighting has taken delivery of over £400K of Power Gems ballasts. PKE Lighting first placed an order in 2010 and has continued to invest in Power Gems every year since. Their stock of HMI lighting ballasts is now 100% Power Gems.
The innovative design and improved reliability of Power Gems ballasts has helped to reduce maintenance costs according to PKE Lighting’s Managing Director, Mike Pollard,
“Power Gems ballasts are so reliable, we’ve managed to reduce the amount of unscheduled maintenance. It’s given us the edge over our competitors because the ballasts are out working for us, every day. We consider Power Gems one of our best suppliers for lighting equipment.”
PKE Lighting was founded in 1991 and is now one of the largest film, TV and photographic lighting rental companies in the UK. Their equipment has most recently been used for the filming of Broadchurch, Sherlock Holmes, Wolf Hall and Dr Who.
While all Power Gems high speed ballasts are manufactured in the UK and shipped worldwide, this shipment of ballasts stayed local, going to our neighbours in Manchester.
The Power Gems team, at Manchester HQ, produced customised product labelling for the ballasts (see left). Such branding helps to identify ownership of ballasts, ensuring rental stock is more likely to find its way back, as well as subtly promoting the PKE Lighting brand.
Then the ballasts were lined up for final inspection, before being sent out into the world (see above and below).
