The Case for LED
Lighting typically accounts for 20-30% of a commercial building's electricity consumption. Upgrading from fluorescent, halogen, or metal halide fittings to LED reduces that consumption by 60-70% immediately. With payback periods of 1-3 years, it's one of the simplest and most reliable energy efficiency investments available.
Beyond Energy Savings
LED upgrades deliver benefits beyond the energy bill. Improved light quality increases staff productivity and reduces errors in quality-sensitive environments. Instant-on capability eliminates warm-up times. Dramatically reduced maintenance requirements free up facilities teams. And with smart controls, you can automate dimming, scheduling, and occupancy-based switching.
Cold Storage and Warehousing
LED is particularly impactful in cold storage environments. Fluorescent tubes lose up to 30% of their output in low temperatures and fail frequently. LEDs actually perform better in the cold, delivering full brightness instantly regardless of ambient temperature. The maintenance savings alone can be significant in environments where changing a light fitting means working at height in freezing conditions.
Funding Options
We work with funding partners to offer lighting upgrades with no upfront capital expenditure. Through lease arrangements, the monthly payments are typically less than the energy savings from day one, making the upgrade cash-flow positive immediately. Enhanced capital allowances may also be available for qualifying installations.
Our Approach
We start with a free lighting survey to assess your current installation, measure light levels, and identify the optimal LED specification for each area. Our design ensures you get the right light levels for compliance and comfort while maximising energy savings. Installation is scheduled around your operations to minimise disruption.
