meet Currell’s requirements and give residents the quality of lighting they deserved, while bringing maintenance costs back to an acceptable level.
The lobby areas had aesthetic problems. Fittings and design looked tired with unsightly black marks on the ceiling caused by excessive heat generation. In such a high specification development this was not an ideal advertisement for the apartments or an inviting environment for residents and their guests. As new managers, Currell wanted to make an immediate impact on the site and therefore the replacement of all lobby lighting with new LED lights was proposed. Lights were trialed until the correct solution was found. Residents were encouraged to comment – and often did!
In the corridors there were a number of additional factors to consider. These included finding a solution to prevent ceiling and/or overall cosmetic damage. In addition, attention was also paid to sizing, colour rendering and light output. Considerable time was spent ensuring that designing the most appropriate, durable and aesthetically pleasing solution would pay off.
As a result, overall lighting levels have been improved in entrance lobbies, corridors and utility areas together with:
Consistent colour rendering throughout; Maintenance has been reduced to zero; Savings are being made on administration time and costs; Tenant satisfaction has improved Energy savings of 80% are being achieved; and All lights have a five year guarantee.
At Brewery Square both the residents and their property manager are pleased with the results of the lighting project which has
ensured that service charge monies are not being wasted on outdated, low energy lights and fittings.
According to Jordan Begg, “At Future Lighting our philosophy is to create proactive, long term partnerships with our clients. Our audits, inventories and maintenance packages remove lighting maintenance hassle from any block manager’s ‘to do’ list as well as saving time, money and energy”.
As well as installing new solutions and retrofitting lighting systems, Future Lighting also offers a range of three different maintenance packages available to anyone who relies on their lighting system and needs a professional support team.
Available on an annual basis, all Future Lighting’s service contracts are available to both existing and new clients and individually negotiated to suit the particular requirements of each development. The company also offers a
significantly reduced fee structure for large volume sites.
