LED LIGHTING FOR SCHOOLS
Lighting in schools and universities is proven to improve concentration and performance in both pupils and teachers. Poor quality including fluorescent battens and tubes are known for their constant flickering, resulting in lamp failure. These fluorescent lights contain harmful mercury gases, cause migraines and produce a Yellow/Orange tinge that does not aid student productivity.
Brightly lit LED classrooms are the way forward. With our school approved LED lighting range, our lights do not strobe, glare or flicker, and the bright white output provides students and teachers with the correct lighting levels needed in the classroom. Additionally, school budgets can be dramatically reduced as the energy use is much less and maintenance overheads are nearly non-existent. All Goodlight LED lamps and luminaires are guaranteed for 5 years.
G5 LED BATTEN – ULTIMATE ENERGY SAVER FOR SCHOOLS
A popular choice amongst schools is our G5 LED Batten which replaces common fluorescent battens, anti-corrosives and fluorescent tube fixtures. The G5 is suitable for classrooms, hallways, libraries, ICT suites, assembly rooms and conveniences. It can also be used in exterior applications (IP65 rate) such as in canopies or in the playground. With a bright output of 110Lm/W, the G5 is a sleek and stylish, glare-free LED Batten. With incredible energy savings of up to 75%, the G5 eliminates maintenance overheads by up to 95%. Emergency and dimmable options available. Find out more about the G5 here.

LED FLOODLIGHTS – ILLUMINATING SCHOOL EXTERIORS
School exteriors, including classroom exteriors, play areas, car park and pathways should be illuminated for pupils, teachers and parents to ensure safety around the school. The visibility needs to be clear so that teachers who start work early can walk safely and easily into school, especially in the colder months when the clocks go back and the daylight hours are shorter. The school also needs to be illuminated in the evenings too – for example, parents evenings, after school clubs and other activites whether inside or outside, need to be lit to ensure safety within the school. With our Goodlight LED Floodlights, school exteriors can be illuminated beautifully. These super bright LED Floodlights deliver 110Lm/W and replace metal halide, halogen and sodium floodlights from 50W to 250W. Protected to IP65, the Floodlights are waterproof and dustproof, making them suitable for both exterior and interior applications. Featuring a rotatable, locking mounting bracket, the LED Floodlights can be positioned into place to throw light onto walls, ceilings and the ground. Ideal for lighting up large areas left in the dark. Learn more about the LED Floodlights here.

ST MICHAEL’S PRIMARY SCHOOL – SAVES ENERGY WITH G5 LED BATTENS
St Michael’s Church of England Primary School, in Berkshire, is housed in a quaint 200 year old Victorian building, and is the oldest school in Sandhurst. The school approached Goodlight after their fluorescent twin tubes in their classrooms, hall, staff room, corridors and WCs kept failing. St Michael’s chose Goodlight G5 LED Battens to replace the interior tube fixtures which give a bright output of 110Lm/W. Since installation, the school have commented that all of the school areas lit with the G5s are brightly lit, resulting in a reduction in energy and maintenance savings. See the installation here.
WRITTLE COLLEGE
We have helped Writtle College achieve almost £18,000 in annual energy savings with an installation of its retrofit LED lighting including T8 Tubes, Ceiling Panels, 2D Lamps and 5ft Twin Fittings into the college building. This massive saving, plus reduced maintenance costs, equates to a very positive ROI with the initial £57,000 investment being repaid in just over three years and more than £191,000 saved during the lifespan of the installation.

LED & SMART Lighting Controls
As LED lighting has developed over the last 10 years, so has the development of lighting control solutions, to further enhance lighting efficiencies and improve functionality of lighting in working buildings. Most guidance directs employers, business owner and government agencies to install efficient lighting systems, with added control as the most efficient solution.
Goodlight retrofit LED lamps incorporate integrated control where possible, or can easily be configured to work with existing controls such as DALI, 0-10V and leading or trailing edge.
Ask about our wireless lighting and energy control platform, Light Boss™ which puts lighting control into your hands via our lighting app, and delivers a truly connected lighting system, without business disruption and the huge upfronts costs of a wired-in solution. By integrating sophisticated wireless controls into Goodlight products, you are able to decide on the optimum lighting levels for performing varied tasks at various heights and working conditions, and you’re allowed to change your mind! You can group lighting in zones, to operate at differing levels and at different times. You can monitor daylight options where natural light is available, and can avoid dark zones in high safety areas to always retain a basic level of light. Our clever, yet simple app puts the control in your hands – you can change an entire lighting set-up within a few clicks, or literally minutes.
It is the most cost-effective way of upgrading your lighting, and allows users to see the energy performance of their lighting in real-time, as well as options to include self-test emergency lighting.
