Improve the quality of your lighting with LED Panels

Do you feel that the lighting in your home or office area is dull on most occasions? Are you still facing this problem after you have changed the light bulbs and put in new ones? Then the problem is not with the light bulbs but with the dispersion of light. In many homes and offices, lighting is installed in the wrong locations in a room, thus restricting the dispersion of light to only one particular area, while other parts of the room receive less light. You can try and install more lighting in other areas of a room to increase the illumination, but this will only increase you energy bills and will not necessarily improve your lighting situation. In addition, the maintenance and replacement of these bulbs will further increase your expenditure.

led-panels

A more sensible solution is to install LED Panels on the ceiling to increase the illumination. If you have a big office, then these panels will make sure that light reaches each and every part of the room. And since LED Light Panels give out the brightest quality of light, you may find that you can delamp (reduce the number of lighting fittings) whilst retaining the same desired light levels. The 600mmx600mm shape is most popular, and replaces standard 2ft T8 Fluorescent quad grid fittings. The LED version is brighter than a fluorescent quad, and ensures that light reaches every corner of the office or room. Additionally, LED Ceiling Panels are made using the latest lighting technology and thus last longer than other forms of lighting like halogen or fluorescent lamps. Even if kept on for around 6 hours or more, these light panels will not get overheated or use excess electricity.

The semiconductor technology used in the manufacture of these light panels means that electricity is used efficiently without wastage, thus giving you an energy savings of over 50%. The Philips Coreline LED Panel supplied by Novel Energy Lighting will give you high quality, high output  light even if used constantly, for more than 50,000+ hours. Thus, these light panels are very ideal for corporate offices or exhibition centers with huge ceilings, which are on continuously and require lighting for longer time. And if your office already has standard tube fittings installed, then the process of installing LED Panels will be easy, as you can simply remove the existing fluorescent ones and fit LED Ceiling Panels instead. Ceiling panels come as standard as recess mount, but can also be surface mounted or suspension mounted to suit.

Novel Energy Lighting supplies a range of high quality LED panels from trusted manufacturers like Philips, Megaman, Heathfield, Thorn, and MEGE LED. Standard 600x600mm, 1200x600mm, and 1200x300mm panels are available in various colour temperatures from warm white to pure white. Most come with warranties of 3years to 5years. Dimmable drivers are also available for 0-10VDC dimming control. We also offer round ceiling panels to replace CFL downlights

Choose LED Tubes and Save the Environment

Most people are unaware of the negative effects of traditional fluorescent tubes and bulbs for lighting. Fluorescent bulbs emit a decent amount of light but almost 20% of the input energy used by them is converted into heat.  This is wasteful, and with the ever increasing price of energy, hikes up your electricity bill. Moreover, fluorescent tubes and bulbs have a short lifespan since they use high voltage as startup (as much as 300 volts), which affects durability. In order to start a fluorescent tube the mercury atoms need to be ionized before the arc can ’strike’. It is very common to see fluorescent tubes flickering at their end of life.

LED Tubes

LED Tubes

What’s more, fluorescent lighting is not environmentally safe, since lamps and tubes it contain mercury and phosphor to produce light, these chemicals are toxic, and get released into the atmosphere when the lamps are disposed of, making them harmful to the environment.

This makes for a compelling argument to switch to a more economical and environmentally viable lighting source. Philips T8 LED Tubes supplied by Novel Energy Lighting can provide you with consistent lighting for a long period of time. These LED Tubes have wattages varying from 8W to 24W for 2ft through 5ft length tubes, to match the output of fluorescent tubes. You will see energy savings of 60% with LED tubes, and more if you exclude ballast, switchgear, and starter from the circuit..LED Tube Lights are very durable. The MasterLED range offer a rated lifetime of 40,000hours (L70) even if used continually. The value Corepro range offer a rated lifetime of 30,000hrs (L70). Our other top manufacturers offer LED tubes with similar long rated lifetimes, and high quality light output to match or exceed their fluorescent counterparts.

And unlike fluorescent lamps, T8 LED Tubes will not flicker or cause short circuits as they are capable of using power efficiently. They are designed such that they can be retrofitted into existing electromagnetic or high frequency fixtures, making lighting upgrade a quick and simple process. Some tubes even come with rotating end-caps which make them easier to install.

Redeveloped Tube stations to go all-LED

LUX Magazine reported New lighting at several London Underground stations that are currently being redeveloped will be all-LED.

led

Bob Benn, stations engineering manager for London Underground, told the Lighting for Rail conference that stations including Tottenham Court Road, Bond Street and Victoria, will get 100 per cent LED lighting when the work is completed.

Lighting for the stations was initially designed several years ago as part of the redevelopment plans, with fluorescent products in mind. But lighting teams have managed to get specifications updated to take advantage of newer technology.

‘We were basically dealing with an obsolete design,’ said Benn. ‘We’ve managed to change it all to LED lighting, but that’s been a major challenge in London Underground in order to get that through the system.’

Changing the specification to LED means London Underground will reap significant energy and maintenance savings, despite a higher upfront cost. The high cost of conducting maintenance in busy and hard-to-access underground stations means long-lasting products pay for themselves quickly. An earlier project to replace T8 lamps in a number of London Underground stations with LED tubes has saved millions of pounds in maintenance costs, paying for itself in less than 18 months.

‘From the point of view of whole-life cost, we’re very aware of the reduced maintenance of new technology,’ said Benn.

An ongoing programme of station improvements is taking place all over the Tube, and many stations are being upgraded to prepare for the completion of Crossrail.

Work at Bond Street is due to be finished by 2017, while work at Victoria and Tottenham Court Road will go on until 2018.

Novel Energy Lighting supplies a wide range of high quality LED lighting products. We stock the entire Philips Master LED and Megaman LED range of lamps, bulbs, and tubes. We can supply a large range of LED fittings range, including the best-selling Philips Coreline recess downlights, and FYT ceiling panels.
