By upgrading existing lighting systems huge savings can be made in both electricity and maintenance costs. An LED bulb will provide up to 10 times the light output of the same wattage filament bulb, therefore lower wattage LED bulbs are required resulting in far less energy being consumed - reduced electricity bills. LEDs can last for 30,000 hours or more, compared to approx. 2,000 hours for a halogen bulb, meaning fewer replacements are required – less maintenance costs! However, LEDs are still a fairly new technology which is constantly evolving and like early computers, premature failures are not uncommon. For this reason, Lumena specialise in light fittings which accommodate interchangeable LED bulbs rather than built in LEDs which have many advantages. If a 240v light with an in-built LED fails, the entire light fitting must be replaced by a qualified electrician. With a replaceable bulb, all that is required is a simple bulb change. There is also much more choice with LED bulbs which are available in various wattages, light outputs and shades of white (warm > daylight). A wide selection of outdoor lighting is stocked by Lumena and ready to be dispatched for next working day delivery (excludes bespoke models). These include, wall lights, floodlights, bollards & post lights, lamp posts, spike lights etc. Exclusive to Lumena are over 150 styles of bollard, including those with an integrated Photocell (dusk to dawn) or PIR motion Sensor. The advantage of a Photocell is that the lights are never inadvertently left on during the daytime, Telephone: 01327 871161 and amazingly the electricity cost for an external light fitting using a 3W LED bulb is less than £3.00 per year. A Bollard fitted with a 20W LED bulb would cost less than £20.00 per year. Lumena offer quality lighting with durable finishes in the form of solid brass, natural copper, marine grade stainless steel and anodised aluminium – designs to suit all themes and surroundings. Mains and 12v light fittings are stocked. Garden and Landscape lighting are especially suited to low voltage lighting ( 12v) which is safer, easier to install and less prone to tripping when exposed to damp conditions. Lumena occupy a 20,000 sq ft. warehouse and showroom in Northamptonshire where customers are welcome to visit and personally inspect the vast range stocked prior to purchase.
