LED tubes are a great replacement for fluorescent tubes as they don’t flicker or hum and they illuminate a room instantly. They are a simple retrofit, and it takes very little time to replace  fluorescent tubes with LED;  just a couple of minutes per fixture.

Novel Energy lighting supplies LED tubes that can reduce power consumption by up to 50% compared to linear fluorescent tube lighting. We sell top quality brands of LED tubes by Philips, Emprex, Megaman, and Heathfield, in lengths from 2ft to 8ft, at competitive prices. These tubes provide high quality lighting and a lifespan of 50,000 hours. They also extend the replacement cycle and require less maintenance. LED tubes are economical with the low cost of installation and the return on investment is just 1-3 years.

Fluorescent tubes contain harmful mercury which makes them hazardous waste. LED tubes do not contain mercury and are much friendlier for the environment. Their long lives mean that they are infrequently disposed of. They do not emit heat or harmful UV or IR rays. Most of the tubes come with a warranty ranging from three to five years.

LED tubes are a great and convenient buy for you.

The thirty rules of good lighting

LUX magazine reports that like most people in the lighting business, I’m often asked by acquaintances for advice. Usually, my friend’s building project has come to a crucial stage. I receive an email with the subject line ‘Urgent lighting advice’, links to the John Lewis website and the comment, ‘What do you think of these???’

LED

Needless to say, at this stage no one wants to hear me spouting off about design concepts or reinterpretations of the architecture. They want me to endorse their tasteful choice of luminaires from John bloody Lewis. My brother and his wife once proudly showed me their £4,000 installation of Chinese LED downlights which put splodgy pools of light on the carpet and nowhere else. ‘Very contemporary,’ I said.

No one, as far as I know, has ever acted on my advice. So I thought I’d compile a list of some general principles of lighting for my acquaintances to ignore. These are not all mine; most are accepted orthodoxies. And they’re general principles – for each a professional could come up with a further list of caveats and addendums. But if you follow them, I believe you’ll create a far better scheme than the average. And if it stops someone spending £4,000 on downlights, I’ll have done my job.

1 Use a professional lighting consultant if the budget permits.

2 Think first about the lighting you want to achieve rather than the technology.

3 Maximise daylight if you can.

4 Light for the people who’ll use the space and their tasks.

5 Invest in the interior: the secret of good lighting is having good stuff to light.

6 Layer the light: ambient, then accent and task.

7 Light the walls rather than the floor.

8 Light the ceiling rather than the floor.

9 Don’t be afraid of darkness (at least pools of relative darkness).

10 Never ‘floodlight’ a building – you’ll flatten it.

11 For exteriors, pick out architectural details unseen in the day.

12 Be brave enough to use colour in any scheme, but only as an element.

13 Don’t obsess about uniformity; it’s overrated.

14 Follow the codes and regs, but they’re no substitute for common sense.

15 The most efficient light is the one you’re not using – use design to reduce energy use.

16 It’s better to use lots of low-output lights rather than a few higher-powered ones.

17 Conceal or integrate the majority of light sources.

18 For groups of pendants or wall lights, use odd numbers of fittings such as three, five or seven to achieve the ‘harmony of repetition’. It works!

19 It’s better to use pendants decoratively rather than as the workhorses of a scheme.

20 Consider control at the outset – different tasks and times of day need different light levels and even colour temperatures.

21 If the controls aren’t simple to use, they won’t be used. Give users four labelled buttons (‘meeting’, ‘presentations’, ‘lunch’, for example, and an ‘off’).

22 Don’t assume compatibility between lamps, drivers and dimming controllers: test them.

23 Buy lamps (and even LED luminaires) in batches to ensure they match in colour and output.

24 Don’t assume a high CRI number will ensure good colour rendering (it doesn’t include strong reds, for instance). Find out the product’s R9 value.

25  Buy from reputable manufacturers – otherwise it’s a false economy.

26 Don’t be missold by optimistic maintenance factors. You don’t want a dim space in three
years’ time.

27 Know what warranty you’re getting by reading the small print. Better still, write your own.

28 Futureproof your project: Make sure you can replace failed lights with matching kit.

29 If there’s no maintenance plan, assume the scheme won’t be maintained.

30 Finally, if you can’t find all the numbers you need on a spec sheet, don’t buy the product.

Philips LED – Efficient Lighting

It’s about time you switched to LEDs from inefficient incandescent and halogen lights. LEDs consume about 90% less energy than traditional lights. In a rising energy cost world, this can greatly reduce your electricity bills . Along with saving on power, LED lamps are far more durable than traditional lights and will last for many years. LEDs make for a fit and forget solution.

Philips

Lighting any space is important but the skill is choosing the right lamps and luminaires. Novel Energy Lighting recommends Philips LEDs.

Philips makes quality LED lighting products that feature advanced technologies to deliver best-in-class performance. The AirFlux technology, optimised air flow design, allows the lamp to be silently air cooled without a fan, ensuring the highest light quality and colour. Additionally, Philips patented Intelligent Driver mimics the behaviour of a Halogen to maximise transformer compatibility. The products by Philips have long warranties (MaterLED lamps are warrantied for up to 5years) and excellent dimming capabilities.

LED GU10 lamps by Philips are one of the most popular downlight retrofit solutions, with their quality light output and ‘perfect fit’ dimensions.

Philips LED MR16 lamps are the ideal solution in reducing heat. These lights consume low energy, and less heat is emitted through these fixtures.

LED tubes make a viable alternative to fluorescent tubes, and are far superior in terms of performance and life-time economics. Some of Philips LED tubes include the Master LED GA110 series, InstantFit Value series, Philips Coreline Waterproof, and CorePro value tubes.

Apart from being energy-savers Philips LEDs offer innovative designs. Make a lasting impression with the lighting you use in your home, office, or commercial space.

LED GU10 – Brighten Your Home and Office

LEDs create a quality, sophisticated ambience that everybody desires. Invest in LED GU10 lamps that are perfect for efficient illumination and have a longer rated life than halogen lights. Energy consumption can be as low as 10% of traditional halogen lamps, which will downsize your electricity bills to a great extent. However, lower energy consumption does not mean you compromise on light quality.

LED GU10s have a significantly longer-rated life than halogen lights. They also run much cooler than halogen lamps, which means less fire risk, less damage to fittings, fixtures, and wiring, and ultimately longer lamp life.. These LED lamps produce quality light with high colour rendering index and consistent colour temperatures.

M3 on the road to sustainability with LED lights

36_M3a(1)

LUX Magazine Jun-2014 reports:

On the ROAD

How new lights on the M3 will not only save energy and maintenance but could also save lives

LUX magazine reported that if it had been taken a short time earlier, the photo to the right would have looked distinctly more orange. It shows part of the M3, which stretches from southwest London to Southampton, which has been fitted with new LED luminaires that provide clear white light and replace high-pressure sodium (SON) light sources.

Saving energy was the main motivation behind the change, and the 250 and 150W SON fittings were found to be the main culprit in energy consumption. EM Highway Services, which operates and maintains this part of the M3 on behalf of the Highways Agency, was asked to find more energy-efficient lighting.

EM opted for an upgrade to Philips’ Luma 3 LED fittings, and a total of 476 luminaires were installed along the motorway. The brief was to create uniform light distribution across the lanes, but it was also important that the LED configurations were flexible because the M3 sometimes operates with a 10-lane arrangement with varying light levels. The new luminaires are modular and can be combined with a number of different optics, making the fitting ideal for the job.

37_M3a(2)

As well as saving energy, the white LED light has improved visibility on the motorway. This might save lives in dangerous situations; drivers can detect movement faster and at a greater distance, giving them more time to stop if they need to. As an added bonus, the brighter light makes it possible to reduce light output without compromising light quality, saving even more energy.

Julian Nassar, electrical stream project engineer from EM Highway Services says: ‘By using the Luma LED technology, we have been able to provide high-quality, reliable lighting using less energy while also saving on maintenance costs. This has provided increased safety for the road user through an improved light source.’

Novel Energy Lighting sells top quality LED lamps, bulbs and tubes at the lowest trade, retail and wholesale prices. We are able to supply the full range of Philips trade and specification LED products including the Luma 3 LED road fittings. Contact us for your project. Most of our LED products have up to 5 years warranty and 30 days satisfaction guaranteed. These lights offer lifetime cost benefits with up to 90% energy savings and up to 50,000 hours of operational lighting. LED Lighting is recommended for cost efficiency and energy savings.

LED Tubes – Cost-Efficient Office Lighting

Get rid of flickering fluorescent tubes and stop climbing ladders for dead ones by switching to LED Tubes. LED Tubes are now a commercially viable alternative to fluorescent tubes in terms of superior light output and a better lifespan.

led-tubes

Led Tubes

LED Tubes save over 60% energy compared to fluorescent tubes. Also these tubes offer a lifespan of about 50,000 hours (many years) of usage, without compromising on light output quality. Unlike fluorescent tubes, LED tubes produce less heat with less energy consumption.

Along with saving lots of money spent on electricity bills, LEDs do not require any special waste handling. Fluorescent tubes contain phosphor and mercury, which makes them a hazardous waste. Fluorescent tubes must be segregated from other waste and are subject to special  recycling processes. LED tubes contain no toxic chemicals and are much kinder on the environment. Besides, their long lifespans means that they are disposed of much less frequently.

Novel Energy Lighting, a distributor of LEDs, has its niche in the LED lighting industry. We sell several top quality brands of LED Tubes at very competitive prices.
