Lighting Assessment and LED lighting replacement

Our Lighting Assessment and servicing ensures that no one is working in the dark! Assessments involve a full review of your lighting including a lighting levels LUX test to establish where lighting requires improvement.

Our team focuses on new technologies to ensure cost savings are introduced with the use of flouresecent lighting and LED ligthing.

Our highly trained electricians will service any non-working lights and upgrade old systems. The best news is that we provide scaffolding and can work up to 10 metres – this means you don’t have to bear the cost of hiring a cherry picker for the day!

LED Lighting a New Technology

LED lamps and tubes have many clear advantages, here are just 3 that you might like to think about:

1. LED lighting will reduce your energy bill.  In a climate of financial austerity and rising energy costs reducing your electricity spend on lighting can have a significant effect on the bottom line.  LED lamps will reduce incandescent and halogen lamp energy usage.  A 400W hi-bay replaced by a 128w LED hi-bay unit is a 73% reduction*.  Over the lifetime of an LED hi-bay unit (50,000 hrs) it will consume 6,400kWh (at 10 p/kWh) costing £640  Over the same period the halogen equivalent will consume 24,000kWh costing £2400.  That’s £1760 saved for each hi-bay replaced by an LED.
2. LED lighting will reduce your carbon footprint.  A 400W metal halide hi-bay lamp replaced by a 128W LED hi-bay unit is a reduction of 73%*.  Over the lifetime of the LED  hi-bay unit (50,000 hrs) it will emit 3.49 tonnes of CO2.  The metal halide equivalent, over the same period, will emit 13.03 tonnes of CO2.  Currently the Government’s CRC scheme will be levying £12 for each tonne of CO2 emitted meaning an extra £156.96 tax saved on each hi-bay replaced by LED.
3. LED lighting will reduce your maintenance bill.  Maintenance is not just the replacement cost of the lamp, it’s also the cost of both personnel and equipment needed to make the replacement.  A 400W metal halide hi-bay lamp will cost, typically £16.  Replacement will frequently require the cost of high access equipment hire (£120 / day) plus the cost of at least 2 qualified personnel for a couple of hours (another £40) without even considering any process down time to enable the replacement. With an LED hi-bay unit lasting over 3 times the average rated life the metal halide it is replacing the provable maintenance cost saving is in the region of £528 per hi-bay replaced by LED.

That’s three good reasons adding up to savings of £2445 for every 400W halogen hi-bay lamp replaced by a 120W UKLED hi-bay unit or £1.17 per 24hr operation of each hi-bay unit.

All lamps have an average rated life of 50,000 hrs and are fully warranted for 5 years.

Oakrange undertake a complete lighting audit which allows us to compile a full report showing your current energy usage, carbon footprint, maintenance and financial cost of your current lighting solution. The same report will provide full details of the costs and benefits from re-lamping your business with LED lamps and tubes.
