Elevating Learning Environments with Expert Lighting Solutions
In the education sector, adequate lighting is not just a requirement—it’s a catalyst for effective learning. At Connected Light, we understand that each educational space from classrooms to libraries, demands unique lighting solutions that enhance concentration, ensure safety, and create a welcoming environment for students and staff alike. Our tailored lighting designs consider the diverse activities and needs of educational facilities, ensuring optimal light for every task.

Connected Light's Experience and Expertise
With over 40 years of experience, Connected Light has illuminated numerous educational environments, providing modern, efficient, and flexible lighting solutions that adapt to the dynamic nature of educational settings. Our projects range from primary schools to prestigious universities, each designed to enhance learning outcomes and reduce operational costs.
Challenges in the Education Sector
Educational faculties face specific lighting challenges such as ensuring light levels are correct for each space, reducing glare, and accommodating various different learning activities. Additionally, the longevity and maintenance of lighting systems are crucial to minimise disruptions and ensure continuous operations.
Also, due to new regulations put in place from February 1st, 2024, the sale of fluorescent lamps and certain other types has been banned in Great Britain, following EU regulations. This is mainly because these lamps contain mercury, a hazardous material, and are much less efficient than LEDs.
Connected Light have been supporting Estates and Life Cycle Managers to overcome this with our range of LED upgrade design services for the Educational Sector.

Solutions Offered by Connected Light
At Connected Light, we offer comprehensive lighting solutions tailored to the unique needs of educational facilities:
Energy-efficient LED upgrades that significantly reduce maintenance and energy costs.
Dynamic lighting systems that adjust to different activities and times of day, supporting the circadian rhythms of students and staff.
Emergency lighting to ensure safety in all circumstances, compliant with the latest regulations

I've been a Client of Connected Light when working as a Project Manager for two NHS Trusts in Bristol over the past three years. Every interaction with Matt and the wider team at the company is a positive one, and everyone I have dealt with has been excellent at explaining legislation, the possibilities with various lighting fixtures and designs. Fee proposals are very reasonable, well presented and complete and Connected Light deliver on what is defined at the outset.
Competence, particularly certified competence, is of paramount importance on the fire safety projects we are working on together, so Connected Light's expertise and accreditations are not only invaluable but also a necessity.
Thank you Connected Light for being a crucial part of our projects and assisting in making our hospital buildings safer, compliant and nicer places to be.

The service Connected Light offer to us is invaluable. They have access to a wide range of manufacturers and luminaires that enhance any lighting design, provide the back-up calculations, control philosophy and on-site commissioning. This makes Connected Light a great resource of knowledge for end to end luminaire and controls capability.
Connected Light have provided support on various projects, especially those with Philips luminaires as they have a very deep knowledge of the range and products on offer, and can integrate with third party lighting controls.

The RUH have a close working relationship with Connected Light, working on many projects, having provided equipment and technological advice for a large £1.4 million upgrade from fluorescent LED across the hospital estate. They have supported us with design services in all applications including new external car parks, illuminating the front façade of the hospital in blue and supporting our recent new buildings including Dyson Cancer Care . Their team are always extremely helpful and knowledgeable, offering a wide range of services. The RUH works with Connected Light on a regular basis for lighting design, procurement of equipment and technical expertise on bespoke projects.
