energy efficiency through lighting has ‘come of age’ – it’s time to make the most of it

THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION

Understanding how to make the most of the Energy Efficient Lighting

EMEX - 17th November 2016


MAKING THE CHANGE

It’s only lighting so that should be easy – so what do I need to do and where do I start?

www.thelia.org.uk 2

I’ll go and see our maintenance team……

Our contractors should know …..

What about the electrical distributors we use …….

I’ll speak to our architects ……

BUT ….

Across the wider Lighting Community

Contractors Energy

Managers Electrical

Distributors

Facility

Managers

are all struggling with……

Products not reaching full potential or failing

Where to go or who to go to

Knowing what they need to know

Making the most of the new products available

Changes in technology


So are we a bit in the dark?

www.thelia.org.uk 4

Shine the light on

MANUFACTURERS Brilliant new products with massive energy saving potential but are we getting the best from them?

Not yet & why?


THE REASON

EDUCATION

www.thelia.org.uk 5

Historically

education in the

Lighting Industry has

been rather

neglected

More complex

schemes have the

benefit of an

architect or lighting

designer

Maintenance never

needed in depth

planning

Disparate and limited selection of training and advice available

The end product was

relatively simple to

understand and the

potential was fairly

limited


LIGHTING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION

Addressing the problem

www.thelia.org.uk 6

As the trade association for the Industry the LIA has recognised the

need and invested in introducing the Academy

The Academy has been created as an umbrella to bring together

learning & learners right across the lighting community

Providing confidence that learning undertaken is of high quality and

the Lighting Community

Collaboration across industry to create the portfolio of learning that

will unlock the full potential of todays lighting products

Creating individual records of learning, career paths and a range of

formal qualifications

WELCOME TO THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY ACADEMY

LOOKS GOOD BUT?

Developing the

Lighting Community for

a bright and exciting

future

Training Rooms in Telford ? A much bigger vision……………….


ACADEMY LEARNING

Building a portfolio of quality learning for Industry

www.thelia.org.uk 9

Collaborating with

key industry bodies

& manufacturers to

become Academy

Associates

Establishing

relationships with

providers of industry

& wider learning to

become Provider

Partners

Launching the

Academy

Recognition Process

(ARP) as the

mechanism to

ensure learning is ‘fit

for purpose

Investing in wider

LIA learning and a

redeveloped modular

Certificate courses

Introducing

LED LIGHTING Just another Light Source so why not use it and reap the benefits?

LED LIGHTING

It is widely accepted

that Nick Holonyak

first developed the

technology in

1962



Over the next 8 years, LED’s transformed the Lighting Industry!

What are the benefits?

The first LED

GLS Lamp

appeared

2008


LED LIGHTING


LIGHTING WILL ACCOUNT FOR UP TO 40% OF

A COMMERCIAL COMPANIES ELECTRICITY BILL

LED Lighting uses between 50% & 90% Less Electricity than traditional sources

PAYBACK PERIODS ARE NOW MEASURED IN

MONTHS!

This equates to a potential ENERGY SAVING OF

33% from your electricity bill

Issues Cost

5 Major concerns clients have when considering LED Lighting

1 2 3 4 5



1: Colour Temperature:

LED Lamps and Light Fittings

are now available in Warm

White, Natural White,

Cool White, Daylight White.

You can even TUNE colour

temperatures.




2: Flickering

LED Lamps / Light Fittings will flicker if you do not have a

stable power supply.

Manufacturers understand the use of the correct LED

Driver, Power Supply and Controls will ensure a flicker

free installation




3: Glare

LED Light Fittings are now available with a wide range of diffusers and designs. In addition to these being more aesthetically appealing, they are more comfortable to work under.

There is a recommended Glare Index from CIBSE for offices, it is <19. You should check with the manufacturers data sheets that their fittings comply.




4: Life Time

LED’s do not suddenly stop working.

The light output diminishes over time. Most Manufacturers will give a lifetime rating for their LED Product. This is usually in Hours and at 70% of the initial light output.

With the advances of manufacturing, LED Lifetimes are now 30,000 / 50,000 hours. 3 Years or 5 Years or longer

Check with the manufacturer the facts of the product warranty




5: Cost

With the improvement of manufacturing processes LED Prices for both Lamps and Light Fittings are falling.

3 Years ago an LED Panel would cost in the region of £75.00.

Today the cost will be in the region of £29.00, 60% Less.

Interest Free or Low Interest Loans are available to help with the initial cost. Talk to the Carbon Trust or Salix for details
