Occasions like National Cut Your Energy Costs Day can seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But whether you’re installing sensors or turning down the heating at home, we encourage and support all efforts to reduce energy costs. In honour of the day, let’s all in the spirit of saving energy, cutting costs, and making positive change for not only short term benefits, but also long term sustainability.
We will be exploring National Cut Your Energy Costs Day, its importance and how LED upgrades can help achieve lower energy bills and consumption. Secondly, we will be exploring our LED range which each are fantastic upgrades for industrial, sports, or floodlighting systems. Lastly, we will cover smart controls which will allow for further savings, ensuring light is only on when it is needed.
The 10th January event serves as a reminder to consider all the ways that we can save energy, from walking to the shop, to large commercial, energy saving infrastructure upgrades.
In support of this, we thought that it may be helpful to highlight a few of the ways in which we can assist the campaign.
So, let’s start with the obvious big hitter, kick out that old lighting and let the LED lighting in. Not only will you be helping to reduce global emissions, but you will most likely get your work light levels back to where they need to be, improving safety and productivity. And on top of this, your new lighting will most likely pay for itself quickly and you will then see the additional benefit of reduced operating costs. Everyone’s a winner!
With Carbon8Lighting light fittings, you also get up to ten years of peace of mind with our comprehensive onsite service package, supplied as standard on all Carbon8Lighting commercial light fittings. This means that once you have your new lighting, you can rest assured that there will be no further costs to consider, except the much lower energy cost that you will be paying. Another win.
And to top this off, Carbon8Lighting offers the option to control your lighting with a variety of sensor-based systems, from simple detection sensors all the way up to interlinked systems that not only control your lighting but will carry out emergency lighting monitoring and testing. The savings from a well-planned sensor-controlled lighting system can be substantial. Win number three.
Traditional fittings can lock you into high consumption, frequent maintenance, and avoidable downtime. By contrast, modern LED systems, such as those available from Carbon8Lighting, typically deliver substantial energy savings, longer lifetimes, improved lighting quality and better compliance with current regulations – all while reducing CO₂ emissions and improving safety for staff and visitors. When reviewing your 2026 energy strategy, it is the ideal time to assess where traditional lighting is holding your site back and explore a targeted LED upgrade that pays back through reduced running costs, reduced maintenance, and more reliable illumination in critical areas such as warehouses, arenas, yards and car parks.
Lighting specialists at Carbon8Lighting will provide a lighting audit, design, and return on investment calculation free-of-charge to help you kick-start your energy cost savings.
