LED lighting is just another energy saving light bulb
LED stands for "light emitting diode." A diode is an electrical component with two terminals, which conduct the electricity only in one direction. With an electrical current, the diode emits a bright light around the small bulb. Typically, diodes have been used in many technologies such as radios, televisions and computers as an electrical component for conduction.
In any environment it is essential that light levels are appropriate and allow people to complete their particular tasks. There are many benefits that result from upgrading current lighting with new, efficient, and brighter LED lighting and many environments are exploring the possibilities and rewards of making the change to LED. By now, most anyone asked knows that LED lighting is greener and less expensive to use than traditional lighting, but those aren't the only reasons to use LED lighting. Other, less obvious but often more beneficial reasons are hiding right under our noses. Schools, colleges and universities around the country have been exploring these hidden perks and have seen just how helpful LED lighting can be.
LED lighting is also safer than traditional lighting because of its low heat output. Lower heat output means less chance of a fire being started by lighting equipment. The additional light output of LED also helps to better illuminate dim spaces which in turn makes the chance of trips, falls and other minor accidents far less likely. Another safety feature of LED lighting is the lack of glass in many fixtures. Both incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs are glass and they can break. Many LED fixtures on the market, however, do not include any glass or other materials that are overtly dangerous when broken. The brightness of LED lighting can also help to stop or reduce vandalism on school grounds.
Client: Sussex Exchange
Location: Hastings
Project: Various
Our work at the Sussex Exchange has been wide ranging.
Internally, this includes the installation of flicker free LED lighting panels within the conference rooms, RGB coloured lighting system to help set appropriate scenes for themed events. To ensure complete control all of these systems have been linked to a wireless system which allows control via an iPad application.
Our latest project, the cinema as certainly tested us, here LED lighting technology and computer controlled audio visual systems means that it is possible for the cinema to run completely autonomously.
Externally we have assisted with the general appearance and
“feel” of the building, installing LED floodlighting
to allow the owners to showcase the natural beauty of the
location, whilst over 250 meters of LED tape has been installed
to illuminate and ensure this building is seen from the passing
potential clientele.
Client: Claire's Accessories
Location: Hastings
Project: Retail lighting
Products used: 18w Halo ultra slim fitting
Supplied by: www.ledbyvision.co.uk
P&S Electrical and Led by Vision have entered into a joint venture to assist Claire’s Accessories improve their customer experience. The retail outlet supply brightly coloured accessories, it was felt that the existing lighting scheme wasn’t sufficiently highlighting these products sufficiently.
The retail outlet opens for over 80 hours per week which allowed the proposed scheme including installation costs to be returned within the targeted period.
Our project management ensured that the refit of this store caused minimal disruption. Our pictures show the team completing this refit outside of trading times, removing the existing installation and installing a pre-wired fitting which had been prepared in our workshops in Hastings.
The refit of this entire store took just over 5 hours!
Client: British Gypsum
Location: Leicestershire
Project: Warehouse lighting upgrade
Products used: 100w Deluce Highbay
Supplied by: www.delucelighting.com
Capital payback: 15 months
Product guarantee: 5 years
P&S Electrical had secured the external lighting and maintenance contract for this site back in 2012, during such time we have recommended various LED products which have assisted with improving the lighting levels and increased reliability.
During 2015 we were asked to recommend and install a product which would replace 350 internal high bay fittings. This project tested our capabilities in relation to both project and supply management. The site runs 24 hours a day 6 days a week, works had to be planned in detail to ensure that these particular areas were accessed at the given opportunity.
Lighting levels improved significantly raising lux levels
by approximately 25% whilst energy used was reduced from 400
watts per fitting to just 100 watts.
Client: The Innovation Centre
Location: St Leonards-on-Sea
Project: Car Park lighting upgrade
Products used: 65w Stratus Street Light
Supplied by: www.ledbyvision.co.uk
Capital payback: 13 months
Product guarantee: 5 years
Whilst conducting a cost reduction exercise for Hastings Business Operations (owners of the Innovation Centre) P&S Electrical identified potential savings in relation to the external lighting for the building.
During a survey and subsequent energy usage analysis we were able to recommend a suitable product, which not improved the light levels only but assisted with reducing ongoing maintenance and energy usage.
The video demonstrates the work of our engineers and how non disruptive the retrofit program can be.
