Plumbing firm eyes huge annual savings with LEDs in national distribution warehouse
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED Floodlights
Turning on the taps: Plumbing company Wolseley UK has tapped a government funding scheme to install new LED warehouse lighting in hopes of cutting electricity costs by £100,000 per year.
Lux reports: A nationwide UK plumbing firm is upgrading the lighting at its central distribution warehouse in a move to save £100,000 ($157,000) a year in electricity costs.
Wolseley UK is replacing nearly 4,400 light fittings with LEDs at its Leamington Spa facility and hopes to complete the job by the end of September, the company said.
The move to low-energy lighting will cut electricity consumption by around 236,000 kilowatt-hours during late afternoon and evening hours from November through February, and the total will equate to about 300 homes, Wolseley estimated.
It expects the savings will pay back total costs of around £500,000 ($786,000) in less than five years.
The company is financing the upfront costs in part with a £50,000 ($79,000) grant from the Department of Energy and Climate Change’s Electricity Demand Reduction (EDR) programme.
DECC announced £20 million ($31 million) of available funds last year and awarded a first tranche earlier this year.
It is expected to announced a second tranche this month.
BusinessGreen has criticised the programme for not living up to its promise, as it allocated only £1.28 million ($2 million) of an available £10 million ($16 million) in the first round.
In addition to Wolseley, EDR recipients inlcuded Network Rail, BAE Systems, Tata Steel and others.
Wolseley UK operates a number of heating and plumbing operations including the retail chain Plumb Center. It is part of the £13 billion Theale, England-based international plumbing and heating giant Wolseley plc.

Opportunities for LED Retrofit of HID and SON lamps
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, Uncategorized
Philip Wall, Partner, Light Efficient Design looks at the opportunities that retrofit LED lighting offers contractors.
Industrial and commercial users of electricity in the UK are experiencing increased tariffs with each new season. Many are on the lookout for a solution that allows them to move from energy-expensive High Intensity Discharge (HID) or SON light sources to the much lower energy usage Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology.
The benefits of LED lighting are well known to both contractors/installers and customers: reduced energy costs, lower carbon footprint, better quality of light, longer life, and the ability to use lighting controls.
But contractors can now benefit even further by offering a fast emerging category of products using LED technology: LED Corn lamps that directly replace HID lamps. These high power LED lamps come with E27 or E40 bases and are a solution for non-invasive, faster and easier installation of LED technology in a commercial or industrial facility. A contractor can offer a client the benefit of adopting LED lighting in a facility quickly – thus immediately realizing the energy savings of LED.
Try before you buy: One particular benefit of this new technology for a contractor is the ability to offer clients a trial installation to experience the light firsthand. Such a trial is fast and easy to implement and often results in new business for the contractor.
Dan Roberts of Roberts and Connelly Electrical Services first learned about the high power LED lamps when his local electrical supplier asked him for installation help at a school’s car park and sports centre.
Roberts notes: “When I easily installed the LED Corn lamps in the car park and saw the clean bright light the LED lamp produced at less than 1/2 the wattage, I was sold. Since that installation, I have been able to meet with several of my customers to offer LED lamp trials for their facilities.” Roberts’ business is growing as he is adding LED for HID Retrofit services to his portfolio.
Planned programme: In addition to the ability to trial the lamps and the opportunity to adopt LED technology quickly and without disruption, a contractor or installer can offer clients the flexibility to phase in the cost of the conversion to LED as part of a planned and budgeted maintenance programme, as LED lamps can be installed in phases while keeping a consistent ‘look’ for the site.
The concept of retrofitting a space with new LED fittings is not new, but the ability to replace HID lamps with LED lamps is, and it is proving to be a good fit for both businesses and clients.
Novel Energy Lighting sells a selection of LED Corn lamps from 20W through 200W. See our selection here: http://www.novelenergylighting.com/led-lamps-bulbs/led-corn-lamps-mv.html
