| An organisation using 100 old-style CCTV lights will save at least £45,000 a year using Raytec LED technology |
Guide Security Services Ltd was awarded the contract to install the state-of-the-art lighting system, choosing the latest LED-based lighting technology from Raytec, including more than 300 infra-red and white-light illuminators.
Raytec is the world's leading innovator in energy-efficient LED lighting technology, and produces an extensive product family of white-light and infra-red illuminators for both security and commercial lighting applications.
"We were very enthusiastic about this project because of the large amounts of energy - and money - that we knew we could save our client, by using Raytec lights instead of traditional halogen-style lamps," explains Managing Director Edward Cusack of Guide Security.
"Not only does the new system cost much less to run than old-style lighting, it significantly reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions without any reduction in operational efficiency."
A conservative estimate is that an organisation using 100 old-style CCTV lights will save at least £45,000 per year by switching to Raytec LED technology. This is based upon 4,400 hours usage per year at 10p kw/hr; with labour costs conservatively calculated at £40 per bulb change.
Not only is energy consumption much lower, the Raytec lights also have a longer working life, and require zero maintenance and because there are no bulbs to fail, there is no risk of areas being unlit, pending maintenance, critical within a CNI environment.
Raytec are currently promoting a "Lighting Amnesty" to encourage end users to switch from old style illuminators to high-efficiency Raytec LED illuminators.
