Brent Cross Shopping Centre

Bradley Manufacturing partnered with Trojan Lighting, specialists in high-quality bespoke fittings, to deliver a transformative lighting upgrade at Bent Cross Shopping Centre.
The aim was to enhance lighting performance, integrate modern controls, and achieve significant energy savings — all while preserving the aesthetic appeal of the original design.

Project Objectives

  • Upgrade existing luminaires with energy-efficient LED technology

  • Retain the visual character of the shopping centre’s original lighting scheme

  • Integrate advanced lighting controls for greater flexibility and energy management

  • Minimise disruption to retailers and visitors during installation

  • Ensure long-term sustainability and reduced maintenance demands

Custom Solution

Rather than replace the entire lighting infrastructure, Bradley and Trojan engineered a bespoke retrofit solution.
Our team designed and manufactured custom gear trays that slotted directly into the existing fittings, preserving their architectural integrity while incorporating the latest LED technology.

This approach delivered a seamless blend of old and new — maintaining the centre’s design heritage while significantly improving performance and efficiency.

Key Features

  • Retrofit Gear Trays: Precision-engineered to fit original fixtures, avoiding costly replacement
  • High-Efficiency LED Modules: Reduced energy use and extended lifespan
  • Non-Intrusive Installation: Minimal disruption to retailers and the public

Results

  • Energy Savings: Substantial reduction in energy consumption compared to legacy fittings
  • Enhanced Light Quality: Improved brightness and consistency throughout public areas
  • Reduced Maintenance: Long-life LED modules and easily accessible trays simplify servicing
  • Improved Sustainability: Lower carbon footprint and reduced material waste

Outcome

The collaboration between Bradley Manufacturing and Trojan Lighting demonstrates how engineering innovation and practical design can coexist.
By focusing on retrofit rather than replacement, the Bent Cross Shopping Centre upgrade delivered lasting energy savings, a cleaner aesthetic, and a more sustainable future for retail lighting.
