Case Study
Cairns Airport
Airport Avenue, Cairns Airport, Cairns QLD
Cairns Airport is the fifth-busiest airport in Australia, operating 24/7 with over
3 million people passing through the terminal each year. The airport began an extensive
redevelopment project completed in 2010 at the cost of $200m.
Ecologically sustainable lighting has now been incorporated into the redevelopment, which are
all energy efficient and require minimal ongoing maintenance. Being completed over 2 stages the
fit-out has improved the luminance and comfort to employees and passengers passing through
the domestic and international terminals as well reducing the company’s overall energy power
consumption.

The ProjecT
Identifying lighting area constraints with
appropriate LED lighting solutions to
replace current fixtures:
INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL
• Departure Concourse
• Departure Lounge
• Arrivals Concourse
• Arrivals Customs Area
• Bagging Handling Area
ITB ARENA
• Middle Section Ground Floor
DOMESTIC TERMINAL
• Arrival and Departure Concourse
• Bagging Handling Area
The SoluTion
The Concourses:
The International
Terminal Arrival and Departure Concourses,
and the Departure Lounge area was lit by
over six hundred 400W and 175W Metal
Halide High Bays mounted between 6 to
12 metres high.
The solution was to replace these with
a selection of Lumex LED High Bays
(SkyBays) across a range of power ratings,
from 150W down to 60W. This design
improved the overall light level and reduced
the airport’s energy consumption in these
areas by around 80%.
The Walkways:
The Terminal Walkways
were fitted with over one hundred 2x26W
PLC recessed downlights. The solution
was to replace them with 31W Classico
Range LED downlights. This provided a
higher level of illumination, and a 40%
saving in energy.
The Baggage Area:
The baggage area
was lit with 130 weatherproof fixtures
(2x36W T8). The fluorescent tubes were
replaced with 18W Lumex Linear LED T8 to
achieve a 50% energy saving without loss
of lighting level.
The Security Area:
The level of illumination
in the Security and Inspection area of the
Domestic Terminal was noticeably poor
considering the importance of the activity
there. To boost the light level the forty 2 x
28W T5 troffers were replaced with Lumex
NovaBlade LED Panels drawing a total
of 42W each. This not only achieved the
desired improvement in the light levels,
but also achieved an energy saving of
around 25%.
coST SAVinGS
Cairns Airport has made a significant
investment in upgrading their lighting and
energy efficiency, but there is no doubt that
the investment is a sound one. Running
24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the
improvements in efficiency, and the savings
in energy and ongoing maintenance will
provide their payback expectations.
