Goodlight Snap Fit LED Panels Installed for Winterbotham Darby

As part of a recent upgrading of offices within the Winterbotham Darby headquarters in Redhill, we were commissioned to provide reliable retrofit lighting utilising products from our award-winning Goodlight range. Our Goodlight Snap Fit LED Panels have been installed for award-winning food supplier, Winterbotham Darby. The retrofit LED Panels have transformed Winterbotham Darby’s lighting levels as well as proving versatility.

Winterbotham Darby was established in 1962 and has become one the UK’s largest suppliers of own-label chilled foods including continental meats, chilled olives, antipasti and continental morning goods. The company supplies its produce to major supermarkets throughout the UK. Winterbotham Darby also has a growing food service business which includes sandwich outlets, restaurant chains and food producers.

A major element of the refurbishment project involved the removal of a wall between two offices to create a single, larger working area. This, in turn, necessitated an upgrading of the existing lighting system to provide consistent illumination throughout the entire office space.

A series of Goodlight 40W Snap Fit retrofit LED Panels were specified to replace existing 56W lamps. In contrast to conventional ‘drop in’ versions, the Goodlight panels are securely installed by pushing up into bespoke fixings. This was further complicated by the presence of the different ceiling systems used in the two separate original offices. As a result, the new panels were required to accommodate two different sets of fixings. However, the Goodlight Snap Fit LED panels were ideally suited to both methods and were successfully and swiftly installed with no difficulties.

“The Goodlight retrofit LED panels have really enhanced our newly upgraded offices,” says Ian Render, Winterbotham Darby’s Operations Director. “Our two original offices relied upon lighting of slightly different colours but we now have fantastic consistency throughout our new enlarged office space which has made a huge difference. The whole area now looks brighter to make a truly pleasant working environment – and, due to the lower wattage LED lamps, our energy costs have reduced also.”
