Connected Light achieves BAFE SP203-4 Certification

Connected Light are proud to announce they are now BAFE SP203-4 certificated as an Emergency Lighting System Service Provider (to deliver Design and Handover/Commissioning services).  This is an exciting update and a further indication of our commitment to health and safety standards as we continue to seek ways in which to enhance the specialist services we offer.

Please click on the link for more information on why you should use BAFE to certify your building.

What is BAFE?

BAFE is an independent registration body that develops schemes to which companies can be assessed against to ensure they are able to provide quality and competent fire safety services.

It is an independently audited known mark of quality which proves professional competency of the service provider, their systems and their staff. Third Party Certification assessments for the BAFE Schemes are completed by UKAS Accredited Certification Bodies, offering a level of quality you can trust.

How does being BAFE registered help us, help you?

Using a BAFE Registered Company to carry out your required projects is a way of showing that your commitment to safety and compliance has been paramount in your choice of service provider. Once your project is complete, following the requirements of the appropriate BAFE scheme, you will receive a certificate outlining the work has been completed by a company registered to your chosen scheme – and therefore, the proof of your attentiveness to ensuring you have sought out a competent business.

As our BAFE SP203-4 Registration is Third Party Certificated via UKAS Accredited Certification Body BSI, through this you can be assured that we have been thoroughly and independently assessed for our compliance to procedures and high safety standard of emergency lighting design and commissioning. You can find out more reasons about why you should choose a BAFE Registered Company here.

What is happening next for us?

Connected Light are currently working towards completing the final commissioning and certification stages of their first project under the BAFE SP203-4 requirements; helping our client showcase their compliance to fire safety standards by using us – a company registered to the SP203-4 Emergency Lighting Systems Scheme. We are excited to complete this work and continue helping further clients achieve emergency lighting projects to the quality and standard that BAFE SP203-4 certification provides.

If you are also looking for a lighting upgrade with that enhanced peace of mind, why not get in touch to find out how we can help?

Lighting in the New Year: The Value of an Upgrade

For many of us, we see the new year as providing an array of opportunities. Whether you’re simply looking forward to a fresh start or are working hard on a new year’s resolution (we believe in you!), it’s a chance to make big changes.

While lighting may not be at the forefront of your mind in the post-Christmas haze, we think it’s a great opportunity to think about what can be done to transform your spaces through lighting, to undoubtedly make things better and brighter for you, your staff, and your visitors.

With this in mind, here’s a few points that explain how reimagined lighting can enhance your space.

  • Improve energy efficiency and start saving. You likely want to save some money this year, and an inefficient lighting system can cause all manner of financial problems. Older lighting usually requires more energy to run and greater maintenance, which of course increases your bills, while also being worse for the environment- siphoning away more energy for less light output than their modern counterparts.
  • Enhance experiences. It’s sometimes difficult to imagine how important lighting is to wellbeing, productivity and day-to-day life. Surely, as long as a space is lit, this is enough? Not quite. In an age of spending extensive amounts of time indoors and increased screen exposure, clean and appropriate lighting is vital.
  • Customise your control. As well as improving general fittings and aesthetics, the way in which you use lighting can be completely revolutionised. From a simple motion sensor to only turn lights on when people are present, to controlling lights in your building from your mobile phone, you can change how you work with lights- and how they work with you.
  • Combine it with other useful components. Want your lights to double as asset trackers? To check the air quality? To monitor your energy usage? The right lighting system can offer much to help improve and understand your spaces, far beyond the brightening benefits.
  • Improve safety and your compliance. Every commercial building in the UK must have safe and legally adequate lighting. This includes battery back-up mains lighting to enable safe egress from the building in the event of a power failure. However, an effectively designed lighting system can go above and beyond this, by having extra features that show your commitment to your workforce and compliance to health and safety laws.

If you’re interested to start the year looking into the unique upgrades which can be made to your space, why not get in touch? Reach us on 0117 972 0030 or drop us an email at sales@connectedlight.co.uk.

Finance for the Future: The Salix Story

When it comes to efficient, sustainable lighting, unlocking the capital to deliver modern solutions can be a real challenge for many organisations.

In today’s cut and thrust business environment, both ROI and payback on lighting schemes have to really hit the mark, and combined with the best financing options can make a compelling case for elements like LEDs or advanced control options.

Salix represents one highly attractive pathway; but what exactly does the Salix financing suite have to offer?

Salix in detail

Salix funding is specifically designed to enable public sector organisations across England, Scotland and Wales to take a lead in tackling climate change by increasing their energy efficiency.

As many public sector organisations will already know, lighting is one of the top efficiency improvements they can make. The Carbon Trust (2017), advises that up to 40% of a building’s electricity use is accounted for by lighting.

Moreover, occupancy sensors can reduce electricity use by 30%, and daylight sensors, which adjust the artificial lighting according to the amount of natural light in a room, can reduce electricity use by up to 40%.

To help bring these superb opportunities into play, Salix provides 100% interest-free capital for the public sector, to reduce energy costs by enabling the installation of modern, energy efficient technologies replacing dated, inefficient kit.

Connected Light offers assistance and guidance to support the public sector with their Salix application from project application through implementation to completion. “Our team can guide you through every stage of the applications process, thereby ensuring your project goes ahead and your organisation reaps the benefits without delay,” explains Tony Ludlow, Managing Director, Connected Light.

“We are aware that given the size and scale of the UK’s public sector, enabling as many successful Salix financing schemes as possible will pay real dividends.

“Salix can really make a mark on the UK’s carbon emissions, but also directly benefit the UK population through more modern, more beautifully lit hospitals and schools.

“That’s a goal that matches our ethos here at Connected Light; that lighting is about much more than simply how we see in a building, it goes to the core of both environmental sustainability and the human experience.”

Salix Loans

Salix offer several interest-free loans for public sector organisations across the UK, all of which are outlined here.

Why not contact Connected Light for more information? We have vast experience of grant-funded projects and can help pick the right one for you.

7 Signs You Need New Office Lighting

7 Signs You Need New Office Lighting

As much as we at Connected Light are passionate about lighting and its role in everybody’s lives, we know that lighting isn’t always at the top of everyone else’s thoughts.

Perhaps your office lighting was installed many years ago, or you’re not sure what products exist to make a difference to what you already have. But lighting is one of the most important aspects of an office to enable businesses and their staff to be able to work safely and effectively- and offices should always be designed with both compliance and comfort in mind.

With lighting also accounting for around 20% of a commercial building’s electricity usage, it is always a good time to review your lighting needs.

Here are 7 reasons that you might need new lighting in your office.

Your current lighting doesn’t meet regulations.

Potentially the most important one on this list, lighting which doesn’t meet the required standards for your business can cause a lot of issues, especially in the event of an emergency. Your office lighting needs to meet health and safety regulations which cover everything from lux levels to emergency lighting, to be deemed safe and legal to work in.

You’ve had feedback about your office environment.

Everyone has their own ideas about how to make an office more comfortable and inviting, from plants on desks to coffee on tap, but why not start with your lighting? Poor lighting in a workspace can leave workers with nasty side effects such as headaches and eye strain, and even contribute to stress and tiredness. If you’ve had any feedback about uncomfortable working conditions, lighting might be a good place to start.

You want to save money.

There’s no denying it- running an office costs a lot of money. This might even be why you have avoided new lighting in the past, fearing excessive extra costs and disruption to your day-to-day. But new office lighting can actually save you money, through lower outgoing energy costs, reduced maintenance needs and by creating a more productive working environment.

Often, there are also environmental, government-led schemes to help businesses upgrade their lighting, and can provide tax reductions for investments into more sustainable technologies- speak to our team to find out more about the latest grant options available to you.

You’ve recently changed your branding.

Have you had a company branding update recently? Maybe you’ve got a shiny new logo or some new corporate colours, or just a new direction for your business going forward. No matter the changes to your company and what it stands for, this can be reflected in your lighting, offering a consistent brand image and leaving you with fresh lighting to perfectly match your office’s new purpose.

You want more control over your space

Do you want to feel like your office is working with you, rather than just around you? Lighting controls can be programmed to actively respond to your space, saving you time and money. From occupancy sensors to ensure lights are only on when needed, to human-centric lighting to match the outside lighting temperature for a more natural feel, or different programmed settings to choose from for meetings and other events, the possibilities of lighting settings are endless. You can even give staff control over their local lighting, which has been shown to increase job satisfaction. 

If your existing controls are failing, or you find them tricky to use, a new control system tailored to your requirements will give you back the freedom to manage your lighting around your needs.

You want to reduce your environmental impact

Many companies around the world are making steps to reduce the impact of their environmental footprint. From a simple upgrade of your fluorescent fittings to more-efficient LED, to daylight harvesting and night time savings where lights are dimmed at specific times of reduced occupancy, there are a number of new technologies which can help reduce your energy used and your overall environmental impact as a business.

Your lighting system is failing more often.

Lighting and control systems have a lifespan like all our technology products. While they can of course be reactively fixed and maintained, it is possible if you have had your lighting for a long time and it is experiencing regular failures that you need an upgrade.

By upgrading to newer kit, you’ll experience fewer breakdowns and reduced downtime, meaning you’ll rely less on electricians and facilities maintenance to fix the lights, causing business disruption. It doesn’t have to be as scary as it sounds- if you’re happy with your lighting layout, with a combination of innovative products and modern technologies like Bluetooth, new lighting can be installed around existing fittings and controls to ensure minimal change. Or, you can design something completely new!

If your office is experiencing any signs which suggest new lighting is the way forward, why not get in touch to find out how we can help?
