How to save 79%on new LED lighting installations
massive energy savings with LED lighting. By using LED lighting with the latest lighting management systems, it is now relatively easy to achieve 50% to 80% energy savings on most projects with these energy savings paying for the systems and installation for a fast return on investment, often in just eighteen months. Ecolighting also works with some of Europe’s leading finance experts to
deliver leasing packages on LED lighting installations. Steve Gardner, Ecolighting’s Managing Director comments, “This scheme has big benefits for UK commerce and industry. The concept is likely to appeal to all business directors and accountants as leasing aids cash flow keeping costs off the balance sheet and also takes advantage of tax benefits.” The leasing scheme is ideal for all types of applications including factories,
warehouses and exterior lighting as well as offices, retail, hotels and education. Ecolighting already has a number of lighting projects underway using this scheme. Financing arrangements are entirely flexible with monthly lease payments

says Steve Gardner. For example Ecolighting has been working with the logistics group Bibby Distribution over the last three years to progressively replace fluorescent systems with more energy-efficient LED lighting. On just one warehouse the annual savings are around 66% in energy costs amounting to some £88,000 per annum with a payback on investment of just 1.7 years. At the same time the Ecolighting LED lighting has helped the group to reduce its carbon footprint in line with its ‘Road to Zero’ campaign. Further information on LED lighting leasing schemes and grants is available from Ecolighting.
