One of our Trader
Representatives met with management this week to discuss the issue of dim
lighting within the upper sheds. Lux meter readings were presented to
management showing that some stalls have sub-standard lighting levels.
Discussion took place on
extending skylights to take full advantage of natural light, choice of globes,
assessment of lamp heights, and alternative lamp types. The extension of
skylights does increase the risk of heat in summer and it was agreed that the
south side of roof structures (away from the sun) would provide the best
opportunity for increasing light while minimising heat transference.
Additionally, new developments in the ability of skylight panels to reflect
heat would be considered.
Management said they had a
number of options to consider for problem lighting areas and that they would
get back to us. We will keep traders informed.
