Savvy Care Homes Reduce Energy Bills

Date of article: 19-Jun-09

In a time when the economy dictates that we have to scrutinise all expenses, an established Lighting specialist has come up with an ingenious solution to vastly reducing energy costs utilising low carbon technologies.

Lamps & Lighting Ltd has recently sold its 10,000th, energy saving, D-tect unit. The cleverly designed unit integrates passive microwave technology with a lighting level sensor, which combined, allows most fluorescent and compact fluorescent light fittings to reduce their individual energy consumption by 81%.

The D-tect unit emits low level microwaves into an adjustable radius which when disturbed by the presence of a person triggers the luminaire to switch on instantly. Taking energy efficiencies one step further the luminaire will not switch on when there is sufficient natural light.

Although the D-tect unit has proven itself to be extremely popular in Care Home circles, Lamps & Lighting's Business Development Manager, Leigh Hudson, said: “We have promoted the D-tect unit to most large scale Assisted Living, Care Home, and Sheltered Accommodation providers in the UK and achieved a great deal of success. There is substantial pressure on all organisations to reduce costs wherever possible and I am proud that Lamps & Lighting has been able to provide an innovative, high technology, solution to reducing energy costs. What we need now is for those Care Homes, which haven’t installed the D-tect, to sit up and take notice – there are tangible savings to be gained very quickly”.

Lamps & Lighting can offer assistance with energy efficient environmental solutions to Care Homes looking for guidance on low carbon lighting technologies.
