Energy Audits and Plans of Action for Commercial and Industrial LED Lighting Solutions That Are More Economical and Efficient.
Designed to cut waste, save you money, and save the environment.
Reap the Benefits
Benefits for Operators
Employee working conditions can be enhanced with the use of energy-efficient technologies. Numerous projects provide greater light levels, less glare and/or shadows, and decreased heat from motors and traditional lighting. These elements contribute to better operator conditions.
Streamlined Procedure
Many businesses request quotes for energy-saving projects, yet many of the potential savings are never realised. When the optimal course of action is unclear, doing energy assessments or requesting quotes from suppliers may be confusing. To guarantee a clear vision, Kempston Lighting Solutions can assist in creating an Energy Action Plan.
Economic Advantages
By choosing the appropriate luminaires for your needs, well-targeted energy efficiency projects can not only save a substantial amount of money but also enhance cash flow from the first month onward.
Environment Advantages
In commercial and industrial settings, new LED lighting solutions can provide major benefits; savings of 60% to 80% are typical. CO2 emissions can be decreased by lowering the amount of electrical energy used and the requirement to produce that electricity. In fact, cutting back on energy and waste can have further financial and environmental advantages, including reduced HVAC in buildings with a controlled temperature.
Financial agreements, tax benefits, and grants
The cost of electrical energy is a continual and increasing cost and is planned for on a monthly and annual basis. Getting funding for capital energy efficiency initiatives can be difficult. We can help you get pay back from "month one" and use the savings to finance energy projects without requiring capital expenditures. We can highlight the subsidies and tax breaks that might be available to assist you in lowering the costs and maximising the advantages of energy-efficient projects.
Reduced Environmental Impact
CHOOSING LED LIGHTING IS AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE CHOICE
Eco-friendliness is becoming more and more crucial for commercial, residential, and business users, as well as the drive towards Net Zero, decarbonisation, and more climate awareness.
Companies are searching for an environmentally friendly light source that can lower their energy consumption, expenses, and carbon footprint while drawing in environmentally aware customers.
Mercury is used internally in the manufacture of conventional lighting fixtures like vapour lights and fluorescent lighting tubes. Because of the components employed in their construction, they need specific handling as their working lifespan expires.
In order to help you cut expenses, minimise emissions, and safeguard the environment, we can assess your current lighting setups and offer an eco-friendly replacement.
LED Lighting
WITH AN LED INSTALLATION, YOU CAN SAVE UP TO 90% ON ENERGY COSTS.
Compared to traditional lamps, LED lights are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan, and produce less heat. LED lighting can last up to 40 times longer, produce greater light quality, and consume up to 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs.
LED room lighting is flexible, adjustable, and suitable for a wide range of commercial, residential, and industrial uses. The best update for people looking to cut money, save energy, increase light quality, and lessen their carbon impact is installing LED room lights.
Replacing existing lighting in an office or workplace with LEDs can result in energy savings of up to 60–70%, possibly even more, depending on the type of lights replaced and the LEDs used. LEDs produce less waste light than incandescent lighting.
We can offer cutting-edge LED room lighting solutions that will lower your energy usage and expenses right away, as well as lower maintenance costs, lessen your carbon footprint, and enhance the quality of the light that is offered.
If the UK is to meet its targets, 18 million structures, or one building every minute, must be renovated by 2050, accounting for two thirds of the current stock of commercial buildings.

Case Studies
Downlights
LED DOWNLIGHT INSTALLATION PREVENTS LOCALISED HEATING AND POOR PERFORMANCE
The primary purpose of LED downlights is to supply downward lighting. Ideal for usage in commercial and industrial settings, including stadiums, stores, garages, warehouses, hospitals, schools, and production facilities.
Depending on the luminaires installed, traditional high-bay lighting can have localised heating effects and consume a lot of energy. In a similar spirit, LED strip lights are far more robust and efficient than fluorescent tube lights. Both examples lack any eco-friendly credentials and perform poorly when compared to an LED equivalent in terms of overall cost effectiveness and usefulness.
These luminaires are perfect for both new lighting applications and upgrading conventional lighting installations in areas where longevity and strong resistance to dust and water intrusion are required.
Find out how much money and time replacement LED downlights could save you while also preserving the environment by speaking with us today.
Floodlights
Portable high power lighting without the heat and the energy bill
Considerable work areas are often illuminated by LED floodlights, which are high-intensity artificial lights with a broad beam and a considerable light output relative to their size. Compared to traditional floodlighting systems, LED floodlights are more energy-efficient and produce higher wattage without consuming more electricity.
One of the disadvantages of traditional floodlights is their tendency to generate heat, which makes them hard to handle and move and unfeasible in situations where excessive heat is a problem. LED floodlights are easier to move if necessary and operate at a cooler temperature.
Since LED lights don't contain any harmful materials like lead or mercury, they are also more environmentally friendly.
With a variety of battery-operated and mains-powered LED floodlights, we can assist you in finding a dependable, cost-effective, and efficient solution for your portable lighting needs.
Emergency Lighting
Non-maintained and maintained LED emergency lighting solutions
An installation of building services must include emergency lighting. The majority of commercial and industrial facilities are required by law to install emergency lighting so that, in the case of a blackout or power outage, people can find their way out of the building while avoiding obstructions. The ideal solution is emergency lighting using LEDs.
LED emergency lights have two options: they can be left on continuously as emergency escape lighting (maintained emergency light) or they can be set to turn on automatically after a power outage (non-maintained emergency light/standby lighting).
We can work with your company to make sure that your LED emergency lighting installation complies with regulations, is economical and ecologically friendly, and instantly turns on the lights when the lighting system's power source fails.
How does it work?
1
Initial Meeting
Meeting with a potential client to better understand their needs, gain a better understanding of their organisation, and conduct a complimentary facilities audit is the first step. This may be an initial sample in the case of huge facilities.
2
Initial Report and Proposal
After the first meeting and audit, we will report our results and, for larger facilities or organisations, suggest doing a comprehensive site audit and developing an energy action plan.
3
Full Site Audit
We conduct a thorough site audit for major establishments or organisations to evaluate the current lighting setup and associated energy consumption. In order to best satisfy the needs of the organisation with regard to energy consumption, lux levels, light quality, less maintenance, and health and safety regulations, we will develop lighting systems that specifically defines replacement LED technologies.
4
Draft Report
After conducting a thorough site survey and having had preliminary discussions with the stakeholders we will gather and present a draft report outlining current energy usage and lighting provision. Providing suggested lighting designs and the associated reduced energy usage, a draft action plan with costs and potential payback and ROI.
5
Energy Action Plan
After the presentation and talks on the Draft Report, we will put together a fully funded Energy Action Plan that will match the organisation's needs and, when put into practice, provide the best value. This will consider all requirements for implementation, reporting, and procurement. Any potential tax advantages, incentives, and/or financing sources will be highlighted in this report.
6
Specification And Procurement
Because of our connections to top manufacturers and installation companies, we can help with procurement and negotiations to give the best value once the Energy Action Plan has been approved. Even before energy savings are realised, any costs associated with enlisting lighting solutions are frequently more than offset at this point.
7
Project Management And Implementation
Some of the biggest (and smallest) energy-efficient lighting projects ever undertaken in the UK have been managed and implemented by us thanks to our many years of experience. This experience includes creating method statements (RAMS) for each project, as well as adhering to CDM Health and Safety laws.
8
Monitoring And Reporting
Any company must be able to demonstrate the savings and advantages that an energy efficiency initiative has brought about. We will help with the ongoing tracking and reporting of savings realised and produce case studies for the organization's internal or external use.
The phrase "eco-lighting" refers to lighting that is long-lasting, non-toxic, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and leaves less of an impact on its surroundings when in use. Making the switch to eco-friendly lighting, whether it is energy-efficient or powered by renewable energy, has numerous advantages.
- Lowering the amount of greenhouse gases released during the energy generation process, extending the life of the eco lighting system, and gradually requiring less materials and manufacture.
- In addition to not being recyclable, standard fluorescent light contains hazardous materials like mercury. Eco lighting shields ecosystems from pollution because it is recyclable and free of pollutants.
- Compared to conventional light bulbs, LED lighting delivers the highest energy efficiency, using 90% less energy to produce a bright light, last longer, and have a lower environmental impact.
An LED luminaire is the best option for both residential and commercial clients when it comes to eco-friendly lighting.
LED lighting uses less energy than halogen and incandescent lighting, is more efficient overall, and doesn't include any hazardous materials like mercury, which is present in fluorescent light tubes.
The lifespan of eco-friendly LED lighting is far longer than that of incandescent lighting, and the typical operational life for fluorescent tubes is between 1000 and 8000 hours. In contrast, several manufacturers assert that the operational life of their LED light bulbs ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 hours. As expected, LED lighting requires less maintenance and is stronger and more resilient than traditional lighting solutions.
The inefficient process by which conventional filament bulbs turn electricity into light is heating an element to the point where it releases electromagnetic radiation. Within the glass tubing of compact fluorescent lamps is a white, fluorescent-sensitive powder coating. The powder reacts with the argon and mercury vapours inside the lightbulb to create invisible UV light when electricity is supplied. White, visible light is created when this UV light interacts with the fluorescent coating.
LED lights, on the other hand, produce almost little heat, radiation, or UV rays and are free of hazardous materials. Consequently, LED lighting solutions can produce better lighting with eco-friendliness while using less energy than conventional lamps.
LED lighting promotes sustainability and environmental friendliness and is the perfect modern lighting option for commercial, industrial, and residential applications.
Compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs), sometimes known as energy-saving bulbs, are more energy-efficient than incandescent light bulbs but less efficient than LED versions. Furthermore, the components found in ordinary fluorescent lights ultimately render them non-eco-friendly.
Energy-efficient CFL light bulbs have a far shorter lifespan than eco-friendly LED illumination, with some manufacturers guaranteeing tens of thousands of hours of use. As one might anticipate, LED lights are more reliable, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly than their traditional counterparts. Because of this as well as lower operating and maintenance costs, LED lighting is the more cost-effective choice over the long run, even with its higher initial cost.
Several companies, including Lena Lighting, Osram, Philips Lighting/Signify, Samsung, Nichia, Panasonic, GE Lighting, Cree, and Eaton, are among the many that compete to be named the top manufacturer of LED lighting products.
These manufacturers offer a wide range of LED lighting products, including downlights, LED strip lights, LED spotlights, LED bay lights, and of course, LED lighting alternatives for homes.
Even though they are all high-quality goods, they are all constantly pushing the boundaries of LED lighting innovation. Kempston Controls' lighting solution section is continuously thinking about what would be the best product solutions for your LED lighting applications.
It is believed that LED lighting, which is more environmentally friendly, has a far longer service life than installations of incandescent and fluorescent lights. Some brands state that the anticipated lifespan of their LED light bulbs is between 50,000 and 100,000 hours.
In addition to having an exceptional longevity, LED lights also don't burn out or need to be changed frequently; instead, they emit reduced output levels over time, allowing them to function for years without reaching full capacity.
Although there are some long-lasting exceptions, conventional incandescent bulbs have a potential light output of 750–2,000 hours, while CFLs have a higher lifespan of 10,000–15,000 hours. The remarkable lifespan of LED lighting fixtures is unmatched in comparison.
