Are you conscious of your increasing electricity bills ? At least 25% of that bill will be due to lighting, from using traditional bulbs and tube lights. Traditional lights like incandescent bulbs emit a lot of heat, as they use chemicals like mercury and phosphor to glow. What’s more, these lights are known to consume a lot of electricity to produce light, which is why your energy bills are so high every month.

LED lighting technology, uses electricity in a smarter way.Unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, LED’s do not require any warm up time to emit light. Therefore you get instant illumination when switched on. And since they consume less energy they don’t heat up excessively, thus reducing fire risks.

For top quality LED lights, consider the leading lighting manufacturer, Philips. They produce LED  lights come different product ranges like LED GLS bulbs, spots, tubes, candles, lamps, etc. What’s more, each of these lights come of different wattages to suit your lighting needs. For example, the Philips LED MR16 lamps come in wattages ranging from 4W=20W equivalent, 5.5W=35W equivalent, 7W=35W equivalent and 10W=50W equivalent to a standard halogen lamp. Thus, these lamps will be the right lighting choice for areas which need a substantial amount of constant light like retail outlets, restaurants, hotels, etc.

Novel Energy Lighting supplies all these fabulous LED lights at very competitive rates, including the entire range of Philips LED lights. These lights are known to deliver an excellent quality of light, which exceeds that of the brightest incandescent bulbs. They even have a long lifespan of around 40,000 hours, which is far more than traditional bulbs which last only for 1000-2000 hours. Since they last for such a long time, they reduce the need for you to keep replacing them at frequent intervals.

The best part of Philip LED bulbs is that they are designed as a retrofit replacement to your standard incandescent bulbs. Once you install and start using LED lights, you will notice that your lighting costs will get cut down by up to 90%. Their amazing lifespan will also give you a further savings on your maintenance costs.

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 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.

An interesting article by Kosnic:

LEDs were invented more than 50 years ago but they have taken decades to provide their worth in mainstream applications.  Problems with colour rendition, lack of standardisation, and inability to dim have given LED lams a bad press and created confusion within the marketplace.

However, innovations in LED lighting technology and new product development are prompting an e-evaluation of whether now is the right moment to realise the carbon savings and energy efficiency of LEDs.

There are three main benefits of LEDs:

Robust
LEDs are solid state light sources and so are very robust.  While an incandescent lamp will last for approximately 1,000 hours, an LED alternative will last for up to 40,000 hours.  Many manufacturers will be happy to guarantee this period of operation, offering free replacements in the event of early failure.

Therefore, an LED lamp fitted in a reception area and used for seven hours every day of the week, will still be functioning after 10 years.  This delivers both energy and maintenance savings.  In a large office or hotel, it is common to find one person from the mainainance stream dedicated to changing light bulbs!  Switching to LEDs allows mainainance staff to focus on other activities.

Energy savings
The real cost savings, however, are apparent when calculating energy savings.  LEDs are highly efficient light sources that release only a tiny amount of heat and have low power consumption.  There are millions of GU10 halogen lamps in use within canteens, reception areas, consulting rooms, etc.  The LED direct replacement for this halogen lamp is 88% more efficient giving the following cost-benefit calculation:

The cost of the 50W GU10 is £1.00

The cost of a LED replacement is £9.00

If the lamp is lit for 12 hours per day, with an electricity cost £0.12 per KWH, the cost of operation for the conventional lamp will be £20.00 per year, whereas the LED is only £2.40. Even taking the initial purchase price in to consideration, the payback period will be seven months. Remember, these are the figures for only one lamp.

Versatile
Many LED lamps can be retrofitted in five minutes and, unlike old-style bulbs, they light instantly.  Businesses should look for quick wins such as areas where lamps are lit for long periods and lights are kept on for more than 5 hours a day. Good examples include corridors, stairwells and landings, reception areas, offices and warehouses, and canteens and rest rooms. Used in these areas, LED lighting can also provide a better quality of light than traditional bulbs – eliminating flickering and associated ailments such as headaches and eye strain.  LED lighting also gives off negligible heat and so is safer for environments where lamps are situation close to staff.

This safety, the need of the public sector to tackle carbon emissions and reduce costs, coupled with product innovation from LED manufacturers means that re-evaluating lighting strategies is now a potentially highly valuable exercise.
