Low energy lighting uses up to 80 per cent less electricity than standard lighting, but produces the same amount of light.
Essentially this means that you can cut your expenditure on lighting by 50% or more by fitting low energy lighting.
If the lighting in your premises is old then this is the first area you should look at in reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint.
If you have large premises with a lot of old lighting, then your savings on electricity could be very substantial.
The installation of passive infra red sensors (PIRs), which ensure lights are only switched on when a room is occupied can make further reductions in your lighting costs. As can a LUX sensor, which ensures that lights only come on when they are needed (i.e. they don't come on when there is sufficient natural light).
A new, low energy lighting system can be purchased with a 0% Carbon Trust loan which is designed to be paid back via the savings made on your energy bills - so the new lighting system can be self financing with no capital outlay.
As we are registered Carbon Trust suppliers we are qualified to apply for Carbon Trust Loans on behalf of our clients. Once the loan is paid off you continue to make substantial substantial savings from the new equipment.
A Carbon Trust loan is the perfect solution if you need new equipment in terms of lighting, heating or air conditioning as it offers the facility for you to replace your old equipment with no capital outlay.
In addition to this, most of the equipment we supply is eligible for Enhanced Capital Allowances meaning 100% of the cost of the equipment can be written off against your profits in year one.
Our approach is to offer a full consultancy service which looks at every aspect of your energy usage including your lighting, in order to determine the very best methods of saving money, making money and also reducing carbon emissions
