LED UPGRADE

Both Halogen and fluorescent bulbs are now being phased out, to be replaced by LED bulbs, not only will this dramatically cut emissions, but LED’s will also save consumers massive amounts on their energy bills. This shift to LED bulbs will cut 1.26 million tonnes of CO2 emissions each year, which is the equivalent of removing over half a million cars from UK roads.

These plans also include a ban on the sale of lighting fixtures with fixed bulbs that can’t be replaced, meaning the fixtures will have to be thrown away. Fixtures such as these account for 100,000 tonnes of electrical waste every year, out of a total 1.5 million tonnes of electrical waste each year.

There are many illuminated signs out there that are looking dirty, half lit and are expensive to use in terms of wasted power. The situation usually arises as the signs are fitted with old technology fluorescent lighting, that requires consistent and periodic maintenance to keep them looking bright. Typically, this would mean new tubes each year, generally done by suitably qualified sign fitters or electricians, plus all the scaffolding and access gear required. Its easy to see why this work (and expense) is often not done.

We can offer you a solution that is both cost effective in the short term and will save you money in the future by reducing your power consumption by up to 80% and your annual maintenance by almost 100%.
