Technology provides you with LED Candles that have a soothing effect of a candle but being flameless these are safer to be around.

Prevent the risk of fire hazards by switching to these environment safe candles. Along with being harmless, these consume 80% less energy than the conventional candle lamps.

Candle lamps are generally used in chandeliers or wall sconces to create elegant ambience and make a statement. These flameless candles are durable and keep glowing for up to 20,000 hours. With these LEDs you can have an ambience that you desire at a much lesser rate than you could imagine.

Candle flames produce a very warm white light, which is often not emulated well by candle lamps, which is why it is important to select the right lamps. Quality LED lamps deliver the warmth required. The improved light quality provides consistent colour from every angle – even when dimmed in the most intimate of ambiences.

Novel Energy Lighting supplies Philips LED candles, and also offers a range of alternative lamps from other quality manufacturers like Megaman. These LED lamps offer brightness that equals 40W of traditional candles. These produce quality brightness with much less heat.

Philips MasterLED range of candles has been specially developed for chandeliers, to enhance the decorative and aesthetic appeal of luminaires – whether they are switched on or off.

The new DiamondSpark lamps incorporate an evolutionary new shaped lens that allows the optics to radiate brilliant, clear and sparkling warm white LED light.

LUX magazine reports that like most people in the lighting business, I’m often asked by acquaintances for advice. Usually, my friend’s building project has come to a crucial stage. I receive an email with the subject line ‘Urgent lighting advice’, links to the John Lewis website and the comment, ‘What do you think of these???’

Needless to say, at this stage no one wants to hear me spouting off about design concepts or reinterpretations of the architecture. They want me to endorse their tasteful choice of luminaires from John bloody Lewis. My brother and his wife once proudly showed me their £4,000 installation of Chinese LED downlights which put splodgy pools of light on the carpet and nowhere else. ‘Very contemporary,’ I said.

No one, as far as I know, has ever acted on my advice. So I thought I’d compile a list of some general principles of lighting for my acquaintances to ignore. These are not all mine; most are accepted orthodoxies. And they’re general principles – for each a professional could come up with a further list of caveats and addendums. But if you follow them, I believe you’ll create a far better scheme than the average. And if it stops someone spending £4,000 on downlights, I’ll have done my job.

1 Use a professional lighting consultant if the budget permits.

2 Think first about the lighting you want to achieve rather than the technology.

3 Maximise daylight if you can.

4 Light for the people who’ll use the space and their tasks.

5 Invest in the interior: the secret of good lighting is having good stuff to light.

6 Layer the light: ambient, then accent and task.

7 Light the walls rather than the floor.

8 Light the ceiling rather than the floor.

9 Don’t be afraid of darkness (at least pools of relative darkness).

10 Never ‘floodlight’ a building – you’ll flatten it.

11 For exteriors, pick out architectural details unseen in the day.

12 Be brave enough to use colour in any scheme, but only as an element.

13 Don’t obsess about uniformity; it’s overrated.

14 Follow the codes and regs, but they’re no substitute for common sense.

15 The most efficient light is the one you’re not using – use design to reduce energy use.

16 It’s better to use lots of low-output lights rather than a few higher-powered ones.

17 Conceal or integrate the majority of light sources.

18 For groups of pendants or wall lights, use odd numbers of fittings such as three, five or seven to achieve the ‘harmony of repetition’. It works!

19 It’s better to use pendants decoratively rather than as the workhorses of a scheme.

20 Consider control at the outset – different tasks and times of day need different light levels and even colour temperatures.

21 If the controls aren’t simple to use, they won’t be used. Give users four labelled buttons (‘meeting’, ‘presentations’, ‘lunch’, for example, and an ‘off’).

22 Don’t assume compatibility between lamps, drivers and dimming controllers: test them.

23 Buy lamps (and even LED luminaires) in batches to ensure they match in colour and output.

24 Don’t assume a high CRI number will ensure good colour rendering (it doesn’t include strong reds, for instance). Find out the product’s R9 value.

25  Buy from reputable manufacturers – otherwise it’s a false economy.

26 Don’t be missold by optimistic maintenance factors. You don’t want a dim space in three
years’ time.

27 Know what warranty you’re getting by reading the small print. Better still, write your own.

28 Futureproof your project: Make sure you can replace failed lights with matching kit.

29 If there’s no maintenance plan, assume the scheme won’t be maintained.

30 Finally, if you can’t find all the numbers you need on a spec sheet, don’t buy the product.

LEDs magazine reports that the Luxonic has designed a new lighting scheme for a large warehouse in the North of England to be occupied by delivery company Hermes. The 15,000 sq.m cross-dock property is in Warrington’s Omega North Business Park and will serve as a new state-of-the-art parcel handling distribution depot for the international courier company.

Luxonic was charged with the task of providing lighting schemes for both the main warehouse and the 1,486 sq.m of office space that achieved the desired lux levels whilst minimising energy usage. Minimising the amount of maintenance required was also vital in designing a system that keeps running costs as low as possible for Hermes.

Rotary North West, a leading national provider of integrated mechanical and building services, introduced Luxonic Lighting to the project for which they have designed a full LED lighting solution featuring both Luxonic’s Hi-Max and Skylux LED fittings combined with LED downlighters.
The Hi-Max LED is a high-power suspended luminaire designed to be mounted at heights of up to 18 metres and is applied in the main warehouse to achieve the necessary lux levels for the large open space. The lighting scheme uses fewer fittings than the original concept design and therefore reduces both power usage and future maintenance costs for the client.

The office space benefits from the Skylux LED profiled optic luminaire, which offers a comfortable visual environment due to its satin polycarbonate high transmission formed lens.

The office lighting scheme also comprises downlighters from Luxonic’s V-LED100 and 200 ranges. The V-LED100 is a high efficiency low wattage fixed, recessed LED luminaire with very wide, medium and narrow reflector options.

The V-LED200 downlighter comprises a newly developed light engine and optical system integrated into a die-cast aluminium heat sink resulting in a luminaire that is twice the efficiency of a compact fluorescent with a minimum 70% lumen maintenance. Unlike many other downlighters, Luxonic has designed theirs to be energy efficient and comfortable for the users by controlling the brightness in conjunction with a white reflector, as opposed to a specular reflector, and in doing so makes it suitable for corridors, toilets and open area lighting.

Adam Leach, Estates Manager, Hermes, said, “Our distribution and handling centres require a high level of lighting to meet health and safety criteria and ensure a pleasant working environment is provided. It is vital that these lighting systems are as energy efficient as possible to reduce our carbon footprint and energy usage. The Luxonic luminaires together with the specially programmed lighting controls look to keep energy wastage to an absolute minimum while the quality of lighting in the property is uncompromised”.

The Hermes warehouse also benefits from a site-wide KNX lighting controls system as well as the constant monitoring of the luminaires via DALI to reduce energy consumption where possible. Presence detection and daylight linking increase efficiency further, as they allow lighting to be on only when someone is present and automatically adjust the luminaire’s output, and therefore energy use, when monitoring the amount of natural light contributing to the lighting levels.

It’s about time you switched to LEDs from inefficient incandescent and halogen lights. LEDs consume about 90% less energy than traditional lights. In a rising energy cost world, this can greatly reduce your electricity bills . Along with saving on power, LED lamps are far more durable than traditional lights and will last for many years. LEDs make for a fit and forget solution.

Philips

Lighting any space is important but the skill is choosing the right lamps and luminaires. Novel Energy Lighting recommends Philips LEDs.

Philips makes quality LED lighting products that feature advanced technologies to deliver best-in-class performance. The AirFlux technology, optimised air flow design, allows the lamp to be silently air cooled without a fan, ensuring the highest light quality and colour. Additionally, Philips patented Intelligent Driver mimics the behaviour of a Halogen to maximise transformer compatibility. The products by Philips have long warranties (MaterLED lamps are warrantied for up to 5years) and excellent dimming capabilities.

LED GU10 lamps by Philips are one of the most popular downlight retrofit solutions, with their quality light output and ‘perfect fit’ dimensions.

Philips LED MR16 lamps are the ideal solution in reducing heat. These lights consume low energy, and less heat is emitted through these fixtures.

LED tubes make a viable alternative to fluorescent tubes, and are far superior in terms of performance and life-time economics. Some of Philips LED tubes include the Master LED GA110 series, InstantFit Value series, Philips Coreline Waterproof, and CorePro value tubes.

Apart from being energy-savers Philips LEDs offer innovative designs. Make a lasting impression with the lighting you use in your home, office, or commercial space.

LEDs create a quality, sophisticated ambience that everybody desires. Invest in LED GU10 lamps that are perfect for efficient illumination and have a longer rated life than halogen lights. Energy consumption can be as low as 10% of traditional halogen lamps, which will downsize your electricity bills to a great extent. However, lower energy consumption does not mean you compromise on light quality.

LED GU10s have a significantly longer-rated life than halogen lights. They also run much cooler than halogen lamps, which means less fire risk, less damage to fittings, fixtures, and wiring, and ultimately longer lamp life.. These LED lamps produce quality light with high colour rendering index and consistent colour temperatures.

Led GU10 Lamps

Novel Energy Lighting supplies LED GU10 lamps that are cost-effective and deliver a payback of less than 1 year, while lasting over 10 years. These lamps come in wattages ranging from 3.5W to 8W, equivalent to over 65W halogen. With low wattages, these lamps are rated for up to 50,000 hours, and come with warranties up to 5 years. We sell quality lights from manufacturers including Philips, Heathfield, Toshiba and Osram. These are available in both dimmable and non-dimmable configurations to suit your application and desired ambience.

We recommend Philips MasterLED GU10 lamps as a perfect replacement for halogen GU10 lamps, while consuming 90% less energy. They come with a 5 year warranty for complete peace of mind, are dimmable, and are the same size and shape as a halogen GU10 to make retrofitting a breeze

With these efficient lights you need not make repeated investments.

LUX Magazine Jun-2014 reports:

On the ROAD

How new lights on the M3 will not only save energy and maintenance but could also save lives

LUX magazine reported that if it had been taken a short time earlier, the photo to the right would have looked distinctly more orange. It shows part of the M3, which stretches from southwest London to Southampton, which has been fitted with new LED luminaires that provide clear white light and replace high-pressure sodium (SON) light sources.

Saving energy was the main motivation behind the change, and the 250 and 150W SON fittings were found to be the main culprit in energy consumption. EM Highway Services, which operates and maintains this part of the M3 on behalf of the Highways Agency, was asked to find more energy-efficient lighting.

EM opted for an upgrade to Philips’ Luma 3 LED fittings, and a total of 476 luminaires were installed along the motorway. The brief was to create uniform light distribution across the lanes, but it was also important that the LED configurations were flexible because the M3 sometimes operates with a 10-lane arrangement with varying light levels. The new luminaires are modular and can be combined with a number of different optics, making the fitting ideal for the job.

As well as saving energy, the white LED light has improved visibility on the motorway. This might save lives in dangerous situations; drivers can detect movement faster and at a greater distance, giving them more time to stop if they need to. As an added bonus, the brighter light makes it possible to reduce light output without compromising light quality, saving even more energy.

Julian Nassar, electrical stream project engineer from EM Highway Services says: ‘By using the Luma LED technology, we have been able to provide high-quality, reliable lighting using less energy while also saving on maintenance costs. This has provided increased safety for the road user through an improved light source.’

Novel Energy Lighting sells top quality LED lamps, bulbs and tubes at the lowest trade, retail and wholesale prices. We are able to supply the full range of Philips trade and specification LED products including the Luma 3 LED road fittings. Contact us for your project. Most of our LED products have up to 5 years warranty and 30 days satisfaction guaranteed. These lights offer lifetime cost benefits with up to 90% energy savings and up to 50,000 hours of operational lighting. LED Lighting is recommended for cost efficiency and energy savings.
