NEW TESTING FACILITY COMING FOR ORLIGHT
ORLIGHT HAS RECENTLY invested in a new state of the art modern lighting testing facility for its LED lighting products.
The new facility will integrate all test results and parameters into a unified report, including both light output measurements, related to the actual power consumption of the respective products. This is aimed at providing a true indication of product efficiency. Orlight will issue a customised test report for every order that includes an LED lamp. Orlight will test one lamp out of each outgoing delivery to its customer and provide a
unified photometric report. This will contain information on the following parameters: luminous flux (lm); colour temperature (K); power consumption (W); luminous efficacy (lm/W); and CRI (colour rendering).
Orlight is working to help raise awareness of the technical standards within the lighting sector, educate the market, and aims to provide the highest quality LED lighting solutions at best value.
The facility is expected to be completed in August 2012. For further information, contact Orlight on 01707 663 883 or visit

SummitSkills’ Commons touch
THE CHALLENGE OF EQUIPPING built environment operatives to design, install and maintain the technology that will reduce the UK’s CO2
emissions was firmly on the
agenda at Westminster recently, when SummitSkills hosted an event at the House of Commons. Attendees at the event, organised together with the Parliamentary Renewable and Sustainable Energy Group (PRASEG), included MPs and Peers from the House of Lords. SummitSkills, the sector skills council for building services engineering (BSE), emphasised
during the discussions the vital importance of the sector’s SME installers to the success of the government’s green agenda, particularly the Green Deal. Keith Marshall, chief executive of SummitSkills, said: ‘The skilled operatives working in the BSE sector are the people who will actually install much of the equipment which will change the way the UK generates and uses energy in future. It is vital to ensure that these installers are trained, qualified and competent if these installations are to last the 20 years envisaged.’
LED LIGHTING CALL
HONEYWELL ELECTRICAL Devices & Systems (ED&S) has called for a worldwide switch to LED lighting, claiming that organisations across the globe – large and small – have a responsibility to seriously consider this energy efficient lighting in the drive to combat climate change and save energy. With lighting representing on average 21 per cent of a building’s total energy consumption and accounting for 19 per cent of global energy production, the global
electrical products and systems company believes a switch to LED lighting could now be one of the biggest drivers of energy savings. Energy savings can, in fact, equate to 60 per cent when comparing a Honeywell LED tube at 23 watts with a typical fluorescent tube at 58 watts.
‘It’s been predicted that LED technology could dominate the lighting market by 2015 – but it needs to be sooner,’ commented John Storey, global business director of LED Lighting for Honeywell ED&S.
