The Student Housing Company – Park Court
Existing Technology
Existing lighting was 2D Fluorescent, T5, T8 Fluorescent fittings and other Fluorescent lights. In total 375 lights.
Issues
Park Court is a very large Student Accommodation for Lincoln University situated in the City Centre in Lincoln. The Student Housing Manager Anthony Thomas and Kate Brandwood wanted to improve lighting in the corridor, communal and kitchen area where the lighting particularly dark and dingy.
The old Fluorescent Emergency Lights were also failing and they required additional units to comply with new regulations.
Energy costs for the buildings were high due to 24 hours of opening per day.
The maintenance cost of the Fluorescent old fitting was high and time consuming.
Areas such as corridor needed automatically switched lighting.
Solution
Corridor and stairwells were all fitted with Microwave sensor automatic On & Off LED bulkhead lights.
The corridors communal rooms and facility rooms were transformed with the bright clean automatic Led lights. All the emergency lights were replaced with LED Bulkheads and the LED’s bringing the building blocks up to BS5266 guidelines.
All lights were supplied in 4500k daylight with span life 50,000 hours.
Overall the site is saving over £11.360 per year with a payback in just 21.1 months
There is no maintenance for LED lights.
