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. Most of the MasterLED range come with a 5 year warranty, which will give that extra peace of mind. Furthermore, these lights do not emit UV and IR rays, making them ideal for sensitive applications like galleries.

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.

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.
