Energy Saving Lighting Designs
We all know that saving energy makes sense, for the environment, for our children and for our profitability. A recent study performed by an NHS Trust in the North of England demonstrated that lighting consumes over 33% of a hospital's electricity.
Working with Lumenata Lighting Design Ltd has enabled the same trust to take large strides towards reducing its electricity consumption. Using low energy light sources, coupled with intelligent lighting control technology has allowed the trust to reduce energy consumption by over 64% in certain areas, with minimal outlay.
As an approved consultant to the Carbon Trust, we regularly undertake lighting energy surveys with the aim of reducing the power consumed by a clients lighting technology. We are also able to access the funding provided by the Carbon Trust in order to assist any major capital investments required by our clients in order to save energy in these ways.

The brief was to create a stylish and contemporary lighting scheme with all the demands of energy efficiency that you would expect from an eco-friendly Baufritz home.
The result is what is believed to be one of only a handful of homes in UK to be lit entirely by LED bulbs - widely considered to be the lighting of the future thanks to their ultra low consumption of electricity and longevity.
So-called ‘secret’ lights by minimalist Italian range Buzzi & Buzzi – spotlights that can be built into walls and ceilings so that they disappear into the surroundings - were specially converted to LED and used throughout the house.
In keeping with the contemporary, minimalist theme, lights were used instead of walls to cleverly divide the large open plan living space into separate zones, with each area separately wired and controlled.
“We really wanted to do something a bit different that would benefit the environment. We felt we could justify spending the extra money to get the long term payback of a reduction in energy costs. We’re delighted with the result” said Lee Stoller, home owner

"This energy efficient lighting scheme enabled the 101-year old Ashton and Lea Golf Club in Preston to reduce its carbon footprint and instantly slash energy bills by around 30%.
The scheme featured some of the latest low energy light fittings, combined with ‘intelligent’ lighting technology to maximise on energy savings.
These included sensors in the club’s changing rooms, where lights were previously left on all day due to the lack of natural light, to switch lights off automatically when the rooms are empty" said
Simon Plumb, Ashton and Lea Golf Club general manager

Shannon’s Mill in Walsall is a multi purpose development comprising a major grocery store, town centre apartments and a public multi storey car park. Our customer, a major M&E contractor, instructed Lumenata Lighting Design Ltd to produce a lighting design for the car park that provided the specified light levels with the minimum number of lights. Using this approach had significant cost savings as the number of light fittings purchased could be minimised, as could the cost of installing the light fittings and there would be significant on-going savings to the end customer as the energy consumed when lighting the scheme is also minimised.
Using Lumenata Lighting Design Ltd, the customer was able to optimise the number of light fittings required and achieved the required savings three fold. While this is not the most glamorous of projects, we feel that it demonstrates that even a project such as the humble car park can seriously benefit from professional lighting design and who better to provide this than Lumenata Lighting Design Ltd – taking light seriously.
