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.

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.

I have been a customer of Connected Light for over 15 years, they have worked on several large projects providing design and installation with great results and huge energy savings. Their ‘day to day’ support with luminaires and lamp orders along with their technical knowledge is second to none. I would fully recommend the services of Connect Light.

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.

I have recently been working with Connected Light on a number of Lifecycle projects in the education sector and they have been great to work with, from conception and scoping works through to the delivery and installation.
They have been attentive to changes and client requirements as well as knowledgeable of the lighting systems required for a school setting and have delivered a bespoke product that the end users are very happy with. I can trust Matt and the rest of the team to come up with a solution to fit whatever criteria I’ve thrown their way that is both fit for purpose and within budget constraints! Designs are thorough and detailed and the installation works on site have always been carried out safely and with a high standard of housekeeping and pride. I look forward to continuing working with the Connected Light team!
