Electric lighting consumes as much as 25% of the average home's energy budget, and more in commercial premises. The electricity wasted by standard incandescent light bulbs is quite simply staggering. Replacing just one 60W incandescent bulb with an energy-efficient lighting product, such as an 11W compact florescent bulb, can save £10.63 each year and reduce your annual carbon emissions by 161lbs. That's just one bulb. LED bulbs are even more efficient! Think of the cost implications of not changing to low energy lighting. And all of this without any discernible reduction in the quality of light. In fact high-frequency lighting provides more effective artificial lighting by reducing the amount of visible 'flicker'.

With the addition of movement sensors, you can increase the cost-effectiveness of your property even more. Occupancy sensors are switching devices that respond to the presence and absence of people in the sensor's field of view, switching on automatically when a room or space becomes occupied and off shortly after the room or space is vacated. We have a broad range of sensors for use in different locations and for different applications. This technology can even be used for air conditioning, resulting in significant savings.

It goes without saying that these energy conservation technologies will also contribute to your green credentials, benefiting the Earth and its fragile ecology by measurably reducing your carbon footprint.
