Fit and Forget – Philips LED Lamps

Lights are used everywhere, in homes, offices, shops, hotels, and hospitals. And since these lights are constantly needed, you will have to ensure that they are well-maintained. However, the maintenance of these lights may be a tiresome task. Especially if you own a restaurant or a hotel, you will need to make sure that your lights are powerful and durable enough to provide consistent and pleasing lighting for your customers. Dead bulbs are one of the most frequent problems hotels encounter, leading to customer complaints and bad reviews.  Failed lighting can also stop operations completely in commercial spaces like offices and warehouses.

Fluorescent tubes, incandescent, and halogen bulbs are the main problem in most buildings, ramping up electricity consumption, and failing after a few hundred hours. These traditional lamps cannot put up with the lighting demands which are made from them daily. Therefore, why not use lights which give you good quality of lighting and last long at the same time?

With Philips LED lights, you will get the light output you need, and they last for years. Being the leader in the lighting industry, their range of top quality LED tubes, lamps, and bulbs offer you superior lighting and have a long rated lifespan of 40,000 hours. Their competitive pricing and energy efficiency mean these lights will pay for themselves in less than a year and will save you almost 90% on your energy costs. All Philips LED lamps come as a simple retrofit replacement to your traditional light bulbs and are therefore suitable for all general lighting purposes.

Additionally, the Philips LED range is eco-friendly;, they do not contain harmful chemicals like mercury or lead, unlike fluorescent lamps. The high energy savings mean you can also reduce your carbon footprint substantially. Your maintenance costs will drop, since you will no longer be replacing failed lamps and tubes all the time, leading to high lifetime cost of ownership savings. Thanks to their long lifetime, they are a fit and forgetsolution.

Novel Energy Lighting supplies the full range of Philips LED Tubes, Bulbs, Lamps, Candles, and other LED lamps and fittings which are perfect for all commercial uses like hotels, lobbies, sports bars, night clubs, restaurants, banquet halls, etc. and they can even be used for general lighting applications in homes and office areas.

Lux Magazine reports:

Bad food. Bad service. And now it’s official: Bad lighting can ruin a restaurant’s business.
Nearly a third of Brits have walked out of a pub or eatery because the illumination turned them off, according to a June survey by utility npower.
The trade publication BigHospitality reported that 17 percent of the 1,500 respondents beat a retreat because the lighting was too bright, while 12 percent bolted for the opposite reason – the lights were too dim .
‘We can probably all think of an occasion that has been spoiled by a restaurant or bar not getting the ambience right and lighting is a crucial part of that,’ said npower’s head of customer service for small business, Rachel Vincent. ‘Our research shows how damaging bad lighting can be to the success of a business. For this reason, business owners need to think about more than just their menus or location. Ambience is vital to securing new customers and getting old ones to return.’
The survey also showed that lighting mattered more than price to 66 percent of the respondents when picking a venue for a date, and that it outweighed music to 53 percent of them. A whopping 88 percent said that the lighting in general would affect how much they enjoy a date or a romantic meal.
BigHospitality advised restaurants to vary the lighting across sections in order to appeal to different ideas of ambience. It also noted that different lighitng matches well with different foods.
‘For example, light bar food goes with soft lighting while sushi looks better in a brigther light,’ it said.
So how would you make a Big Mac look appetizing?

Are you searching for lights that serve the basic purpose of illuminating your home and add a touch of glamor to it at the same time?

Wide open spaces like stadiums and school fields need a lot of lighting at night. The large size of stadiums demands extremely bright light sources. During any football match, it is important that each area of the field is illuminated and clearly visible to the players and even the crowds who are watching the game. What’s more, since matches and practice games take place regularly in these stadiums, the lights that are used are expected to last for long durations without burning out in the middle of a match.

LED Floodlights

LED Floodlights

Traditional  halogen and metal halide stadium lighting can exceed 1000W per lamp, and has a limited lifetime. Most stadiums and parks have dozens of such light fixtures for lighting up large open areas, which results in very large electric bills and ongoing maintenance costs (since floodlights tend to be in difficult to service areas). Additionally, these lamps emit an enormous amount of heat which makes them energy inefficient, and poses a fire risk.

To avoid the downsides of halogen and metal halide flood lighting, it is best to use LED Floodlights for all your outdoor lighting requirements. These lights do not contain any harmful chemicals like lead and mercury. Thus, they are environmentally safe, and because they are extremely energy efficient, they do not emit much heat even if used for a long duration. Their intelligent multi-core LED technology delivers a great deal of light from just small amounts of electricity, thereby reducing your energy bills by up to 90%. A 1000W halogen can be replaced by a 100-200W LED flood. LED floods also have long rated lifetimes of up to 50,000hours, which means that ongoing cost of ownership is low in terms of re-lamping and maintenance of difficult to reach floods.

Novel Energy Lighting supplies a wide range of high powered LED Floodlights, which are strong enough to light up Olympic-sized stadiums, outdoor municipal projects, manufacturing plants, large exhibition centers etc. What’s more, these lights require no warm up time, but emit light instantly when switched on. They even have a beam angle of 100 Deg, allowing them to disperse maximum amount of light all over a given place. And since they are eco-friendly, the do not emit harmful UV or IR light.
