Discounts on Philips MasterLED GU10 Lamps

Philips launched their new MasterLED GU10 Spot, 5.5W=50W, Dimmable lamp at the beginning of the year. This lamp replaces the ever popular GU10 6W=50W – and offers higher light output (~50lumens).

As we begin to push the new GU10, we have decided to discount its price to get volume moving. GU10s are the ‘mainstay’ of the LED retrofit world, so we intend to shift a lot!

Our prices for the new 5.5W GU10 start at just £13.25+vat. We’ll do you a deal at less than £12.00 if you come to us with a large enough order! No excuses for not retrofitting you buildings now! Comes with a 5 year warranty. Philips are best in class – there’s a reason they are World no. 1 in LED….

BTW: we also reduced our 6W GU10 price to clear stock – still a fantastic product, and comes with a 5 year warranty.

Opportunities for LED Retrofit of HID and SON lamps

Corn-lamp-60W

 

Philip Wall, Partner, Light Efficient Design looks at the opportunities that retrofit LED lighting offers contractors.

Industrial and commercial users of electricity in the UK are experiencing increased tariffs with each new season. Many are on the lookout for a solution that allows them to move from energy-expensive High Intensity Discharge (HID) or SON light sources to the much lower energy usage Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology.

The benefits of LED lighting are well known to both contractors/installers and customers: reduced energy costs, lower carbon footprint, better quality of light, longer life, and the ability to use lighting controls.

But contractors can now benefit even further by offering a fast emerging category of products using LED technology: LED Corn lamps that directly replace HID lamps. These high power LED lamps come with E27 or E40 bases and are a solution for non-invasive, faster and easier installation of LED technology in a commercial or industrial facility. A contractor can offer a client the benefit of adopting LED lighting in a facility quickly – thus immediately realizing the energy savings of LED.

Try before you buy: One particular benefit of this new technology for a contractor is the ability to offer clients a trial installation to experience the light firsthand. Such a trial is fast and easy to implement and often results in new business for the contractor.

Dan Roberts of Roberts and Connelly Electrical Services first learned about the high power LED lamps when his local electrical supplier asked him for installation help at a school’s car park and sports centre.

Roberts notes: “When I easily installed the LED Corn lamps in the car park and saw the clean bright light the LED lamp produced at less than 1/2 the wattage, I was sold. Since that installation, I have been able to meet with several of my customers to offer LED lamp trials for their facilities.” Roberts’ business is growing as he is adding LED for HID Retrofit services to his portfolio.

Planned programme: In addition to the ability to trial the lamps and the opportunity to adopt LED technology quickly and without disruption, a contractor or installer can offer clients the flexibility to phase in the cost of the conversion to LED as part of a planned and budgeted maintenance programme, as LED lamps can be installed in phases while keeping a consistent ‘look’ for the site.

The concept of retrofitting a space with new LED fittings is not new, but the ability to replace HID lamps with LED lamps is, and it is proving to be a good fit for both businesses and clients.

Novel Energy Lighting sells a selection of LED Corn lamps from 20W through 200W. See our selection here: http://www.novelenergylighting.com/led-lamps-bulbs/led-corn-lamps-mv.html
