Take expert advice
LED lights specialists like LED By Vision are experts who appreciate their responsibilities with regards to lighting design and system products.
These areas are mandatory and every LED lights and emergency lighting supplier should be conversant with and adhere to:
- National Standards Body’s BS5266 parts 1, 7 and 8.
- Products – BS EN 60598-2-22.
- Testing – BS 5266 Part 8.
If your present lighting does not meet these standards a responsible firm like LED by Vision will strongly urge you to update your emergency LED lighting system because it is illegal. An overhaul of the standard LED lights may also be required.
Another possibility, it may be viable to install emergency halo drivers or panel drivers to lights on the premises to ensure that they comply with legislation.
Where there are high carbon footprints and utility bills, this indicates that the lighting on the premises is not low carbon-high performance. It’s counterproductive.
By switching to efficient LED lights considerable energy and cost savings are made. Up to 95% on maintenance costs and approximately 80% energy savings. An installation could save you thousands.
Government assistance
When you upgrade your lighting and emergency LED lights you’ll find these schemes can assist with the initial cost implications.
The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme
The UK’s commitment to Article 8 of the European Commission’s Energy Efficiency Directive. Not every business is eligible but those who are will benefit. Professionals work with ESOS lead assessors to provide the best solutions.
Enhanced Capital Allowance
This is a government benefit that allows businesses to switch their lighting to energy efficient products which they may otherwise have found too expensive to invest in.
The 1st year allowances permit setting 100% of the assets against the profits. This makes the scheme too good to ignore. Products should have ECA Super Green Credentials for maximum advantages.
Carbon Trust accredited
Look for a LED lights and emergency LED lighting firm that’s Carbon Trust accredited. This means that the company and the products on offer are energy efficient and have low emission rates. This helps bill payers to save money and energy and the planet is not subjected to harmful and high volume emissions, everyone wins.
Obtain effective emergency LED lighting without delay. It’s preferable to legal action.
