Could your business benefit from updating to LED Lighting?

There are many benefits to updating to LED lighting, for example:

• LED lighting has a longer life span compared to other light sources.  LED lighting can last up to 50,000 hours plus therefore reducing the rate they will need replacing.
• LED lighting needs no maintenance, in effect you can just fit and forget.
• LED produces less heat than the conventional lights operating at less than 60°C which also means improved safety with no burning your fingers.
• LED is available in a variety of colours to suit your decorative needs, or if you prefer they are also available in the conventional lighting colours.
• LED use up to 80% less power than a conventional light source saving you energy and money!
• LED’s don’t contain any toxic chemicals like mercury making them better for our environment.

What is periodic testing?

All electrical installations deteriorate with age and use, a periodic inspection is the testing of the installation to ensure that they are still in a safe condition for use. Tests are also carried out on wiring and fixed electrical equipment to check that they are safe.

A periodic inspection will check

• Any potential fire hazards.
• Any electrical circuit overloads.
• Any potential electric shock risks.
• The adequacy of any earthing or bonding.
• Any inadequate electrical work.
