Why energy efficient lighting?
|
|
According to the Carbon Trust, “Commercial and industrial lighting consumes an estimated 20% of all electricity generated in the UK. In most organisations, lighting accounts for up to 40% of total electricity costs.”
If you are a business occupying large commercial/industrial buildings then there will be real potential to significantly lower your energy use through the installation of energy saving lighting solutions.
