I've just been to the new Aldi in Ennis (I don't get out much these
days!). I'm was surprised and very glad to see they are using FCOs in
their car park. This contrasts sharply with the sideways tilted
floods used at Lidls everywhere.
I've not been to an Aldi before so I don't know if this is typical or
not of their lighting schemes. If anyone could tell me the situation
at other Aldis I'd be most grateful. I'm planning on writing to thank
them for using FCOs. Then I'm going ask them why they don't have
bicycle racks!
Cheers,
Colm

Where Aldi is in Tullamore, its across the road from the 24 hour Tesco and a new retail park - the whole place looks like Dublin Airport there are so many lights, some with no shield and of a round-ball design!
