Why upgrading to LED lighting is about more than just changing a few light bulbs

Why upgrading to LED lighting is about more than just changing a few light bulbs

Lighting typically accounts for more than one third of the energy consumed in commercial buildings. It is no surprise that many of the companies Lyco work with are motivated by cost when it comes to upgrading to LED and energy saving lighting.

Lyco Group was established in 1995 and is a multiple award winning company providing lights to both business and consumer markets and has grown to become the UK’s premier lighting company.

The Lyco Group has a proven track record of successfully providing a full LED lighting conversion service to clients across a range of industries. Many of Lyco’s high profile clients, include the Mal Maison/Hotel Du Vin group (as seen above), Holiday Inn Express, Marriot. Many of Lyco’s clients work with them for many years both on retrofitting and new buildings. They know that Lyco knows that upgrading to LEDs is about more than just changing a few lightbulbs.

“Clients like us because they know that while they can usually see tangible cost savings within six months. They also know that we also understand that an effective upgrade or refit also needs to take into consideration the quality of the lighting we install”, says Charles Barnett, Managing Director of Lyco Group.

“If the perception of the environment changes dramatically as a result of the lighting upgrade, then the project will not have been successful. That is why our project team work closely with our clients, designers and architects to ensure we understand exactly what kind of atmosphere they are trying to create while at the same ensuring that the LED conversion will not compromise lighting quality”, continues Barnett.

LED lights are the most efficient form of lighting available and can be used in just about every type of light. Whether you are installing LEDs in a new building or the refurbishment of an old one, a factory or a five-star hotel, the benefits of installing or retrofitting LED lighting are enormous.

Lyco works with cutting edges LED products and can even source specially designed light fittings to meet client requirements.

Developments in lighting are moving fast and Lyco is always one step ahead of the curve, offering its client practical and exciting solutions, whether for an office, hotel, restaurant, school, healthcare facility or office complex.

“Our skill in both providing lighting from scratch, lies in making sure the lighting we install is both cost effective and adds that “wow” factor. This is true with high profile clients, like the new ITSU and Five Guys projects we work on, or on relighting projects. We understand how to ensure that the lighting we supply reflects the look and feel of the design and lights the space in a way that is both energy efficient and aesthetically pleasing”, say Charles Barnett.
