MANUFACTURERS
Brilliant new products with massive energy saving
potential but are we getting the best from them?
Not yet & why?

5. THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
THE REASON
EDUCATION
www.thelia.org.uk 5
Historically
education in the
Lighting Industry has
been rather
neglected
More complex
schemes have the
benefit of an
architect or lighting
designer
Maintenance never
needed in depth
planning
Disparate and limited selection of training and advice available
The end product was
relatively simple to
understand and the
potential was fairly
limited

6. THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
LIGHTING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
Addressing the problem
www.thelia.org.uk 6
As the trade association for the Industry the LIA has recognised the
need and invested in introducing the Academy
The Academy has been created as an umbrella to bring together
learning & learners right across the lighting community
Providing confidence that learning undertaken is of high quality and
the Lighting Community
Collaboration across industry to create the portfolio of learning that
will unlock the full potential of todays lighting products
Creating individual records of learning, career paths and a range of
formal qualifications

LED LIGHTING
It is widely accepted
that Nick Holonyak
first developed the
technology in
1962

14. THE LIGHTING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
Over the next 8 years,
LED’s transformed the
Lighting Industry!
What are the benefits?

LIGHTING WILL ACCOUNT FOR UP TO 40% OF
A COMMERCIAL COMPANIES ELECTRICITY BILL
LED Lighting uses between 50% & 90% Less
Electricity than traditional sources
PAYBACK PERIODS ARE NOW MEASURED IN
MONTHS!
This equates to a potential ENERGY SAVING OF
33% from your electricity bill

3: Glare
LED Light Fittings are now available with a wide range of
diffusers and designs. In addition to these being more
aesthetically appealing, they are more comfortable to
work under.
There is a recommended Glare Index from CIBSE for
offices, it is <19. You should check with the manufacturers
data sheets that their fittings comply.

4: Life Time
LED’s do not suddenly stop working.
The light output diminishes over time. Most Manufacturers will
give a lifetime rating for their LED Product. This is usually in
Hours and at 70% of the initial light output.
With the advances of manufacturing, LED Lifetimes are now
30,000 / 50,000 hours. 3 Years or 5 Years or longer
Check with the manufacturer the facts of the product warranty

5: Cost
With the improvement of manufacturing processes LED Prices
for both Lamps and Light Fittings are falling.
3 Years ago an LED Panel would cost in the region of £75.00.
Today the cost will be in the region of £29.00, 60% Less.
Interest Free or Low Interest Loans are available to help with
the initial cost. Talk to the Carbon Trust or Salix for details
