Benefits of LED Lighting –
Up Front and Personal
In the world of lighting, LED has become an unstoppable
force. It is now difficult to envisage a refurbishment or
new build that does not feature LED lights within its
lig hting scheme. There are huge benefits in terms of
energy and cost savings with lighting bills cut by up to
90%. Yet the widespread adoption of LED lamps and
fixtures has been held back by confusion among specifiers
and commissioning clients. British manufacturer
Integral LED has chosen a novel approach in an attempt
to demystify the process of retrofit lighting by presenting
the tangible bonus of a swap to LED upfront and online.
Contractors and homebuilders can now access a free
energy saving calculator that allows everyone to assess the
benefits of LED retro-fit lights. The website is open to all
and does not require any buying obligation on behalf of
the user.

Goodlight LED Lighting Achieves
Hospital Cost Savings
An increasing number of facilities and energy managers
within NHS hospitals are specifying installations of
Goodlight LED tubes and lamps.
Following a successful trial in one of its operating theatres,
the Royal Surrey County Hospital installed Goodlight
LED tubes. Similar retrofit products were also fitted in
corridors to replace original lighting that had begun to fail
whilst Goodlight floodlights and LED SON replacements
were installed in the hospital’s car park. Initial results
reinforced the findings of the trials with the hospital
reporting excellent performance, dramatically increased
reliability and savings in energy costs of up to 80%.
Chelsea’s Royal Marsden hospital has benefited from
the installation of almost 3000 Goodlight products since
2013. Successful installations have also been completed
at Oldham Hospital and the Royal Gloucester Hospital.
At both sites, immediate and substantial savings have been
achieved in both energy and maintenance costs.
