Ledvance introduces UMSUG codes for streetlight range
Leading manufacturer of sustainable lighting solutions Ledvance has secured UMSUG (Unmetered Supply User Group) codes for a number of its streetlighting lamps.
W
ith this move, Ledvance aims to further support its clients – particularly local authorities,
councils and others with responsibility for town planning and management. The 13-digit UMSUG (or charge) codes are assigned to individual solutions, and enable the Unmetered Supplies Operator (UMSO) and Meter Administrator (MO) to accurately calculate the electricity usage for each unique luminaire. The codes allow for accurate billing when unmetered supplies are being used, and the usage has to therefore be calculated by the network operators. The use of the codes enables the accurate calculation of energy consumption, which in turn reduces the risk of over or under payments for the amount of electricity used. Using charge codes also supports improved
operational effi ciency. Not only does it save time and resources when compared to metered applications, it also allows for better auditing of equipment and forward planning with regard to energy consumption and maintenance. Ledvance’s range of streetlighting solutions have the ability to save signifi cant levels of energy - up to 60% - when used instead of conventional HID (High-Intensity Discharge) lamps. Ledvance off ers within the UMSUG Program 17 diff erent LED replacement products for HID conventional Lamps, like HQL (High- Intensity Quantum Dots) LED and NAV LED, in diff erent sizes, light colours and wattages, with a light output up to 11 700 lumen.
Nelo Neves, managing director from Ledvance said: “By adopting UMSUG codes for a wide range of our streetlights, we are simplifying billing for
many of our clients. There are many reasons to switch to LED streetlights for energy effi ciency and improved lighting; and the addition of UMSUG codes makes the Ledvance solutions even more appealing.”

Dimplex Quantum: smarter control, lower costs, proven performance
For more than a decade, Dimplex Quantum has defi ned what modern electric heating should be.
Q
uantum continues to set the standard for intelligent electric
heating, bringing together high- heat-retention construction with smart, self-learning charge control.
By storing off -peak energy and releasing it exactly when rooms need it, Quantum helps households cut running costs while maintaining consistent comfort - precisely the balance installers are asked to deliver every winter.
A study has highlighted that Dimplex Quantum can deliver running-cost savings of up to 27%1 compared with older storage heaters, thanks to its advanced insulation, intelligent heat management control
and precise energy-use optimisation. For installers, that translates into a clear performance story when advising customers on upgrades or replacements.
Alongside performance, Quantum is designed to provide long-term reassurance. The range is backed by a 10-year guaranteeand carries the independent BEAB safety mark, giving confi dence that the products meet recognised safety standards. Control is where Quantum truly stands apart - its intelligent algorithm learns household routines, automatically adjusting heat output to maintain consistent comfort while avoiding wasted energy. Features such as Adaptive Start and Open Window Detection help optimise effi ciency

without requiring constant user input. Through the Dimplex Hub, compatible heaters can be connected to the Dimplex Control app allowing users to manage their heating from anywhere with real-time visibility of performance and energy use. Quick-access functions such as Boost and Away modes make everyday operation simple, while scheduling and remote monitoring give householders eff ortless oversight of their heating system without unnecessary complexity. When paired with Quantum’s advanced high heat retention technology, this connectivity takes performance even further. The system stores low-carbon electricity during off -peak periods and releases steady warmth throughout the day - creating a responsive heating solution that delivers lower running costs with eff ortless control.
Importantly for retrofi t projects,
Quantum’s casing and footprint are designed to help cover fi xing marks left by older storage heaters, reducing the need for additional making-good or redecoration. For installers, this helps streamline replacements and deliver a cleaner fi nished result for customers.
From single-property retrofi ts to large-scale housing programmes, Quantum’s blend of effi ciency, connectivity and reliability continues to make it the desired choice for smart, future-ready electric heating.
