The case for occupancy sensor controls

Movement- and photo-sensors, timers and other smart technology can be used to adjust lighting to conditions outside, when you are away, and to manage overall operating hours. 

Motion sensors have become one of the main techniques to cut electricity use and address inefficient and unnecessary lighting in and around your property.

They rely on three motion-sensitive techniques to detect presence:

Case for LED low bay

Fitting and lamp replacement with LED low bay, lighting suitable for industrial applications indoors and outdoors (e.g. manufacturing areas, food processing plants, warehouses, parking garages, etc.).

Making lighting energy efficient can help a company achieve significant savings. Estimates show that in the UK, some 20 % of the electricity generated is used for lighting and that over 75 % of lighting installations are thought to be out of date.

Cost-effective changes include the:

Case for metal halide lamps 

Fitting and lamp replacement with metal halide lamps; a highly efficient source, typically 80 lumens per watt covering a very large range of power ratings, with a lifetime around 12 000 hours.

Cost-effective changes include the:

Case for T8s

Direct lamp replacement with energy efficient T8 fluorescents, which offer up to 22 % energy savings compared to standard 32 W T8 lamps.

Cost-effective changes include the:

Case for LED luminaires

Fitting and lamp replacement with 19 W LED luminaires. LEDs have a very long life (typically 50 000 hours) which calls for less maintenance and replacement costs.

Cost-effective changes include the:

Case for LED panels

Fitting and lamp replacement with LED panel. LED panels have the advantage, over fluorescent lighting, to have a very long life and to eliminate hazardous waste from the lighting process. LED panels are particularly suitable for office lighting, retail lighting, classroom lighting and supermarket lighting.

Case for T8 luminaires

Ballast and lamp replacement with T8 luminaires. The advantages of T8 luminaires include reduced maintenance costs (by extending the revamping cycle) and better environmental impact (less mercury content per lamp). T8 luminaires are ideal for applications requiring maximum maintained light output.

Case for T5 lamps

Fitting and lamp replacement with 14 W T5s. These lamps are ideal for high-bay or commercial troffer applications. They benefit from long life, maintenance is hassle-free, and they are some of the best energy-efficient fluorescent lighting systems available.

The case for LEDs

Direct lamp replacement by 9 W light emitting diodes, or LEDs, which are energy efficient, ecologically friendly, low-voltage, and have a long life, higher application efficiency, and other durability advantages.

Efficient lighting… the case for condensed fluorescents

It may seem obvious, but sometimes the simplest solutions can make a big different in the short-term. Replacing lamps usually takes no special skills and yields immediate results.

For example, think about changing to 14 W condensed fluorescent lamps (CFL), which are four times more efficient and last up to 10 times longer than incandescent light bulbs.
