the right light level is available in each location

With improved patient experience, up to 68% less power consumption and over 50,000 hours continual use, the financial and environmental benefits of an LED retrofit programme are clear.led flood light, PFI Estates Manager, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust, certainly sees the advantages: “The LED retrofit has delivered not only the cost savings that we hoped to achieve but has also made a valuable contribution towards reducing our energy consumption in line with the Trust’s low-carbon ambitions.

Marl International aims to help customers waste less light with a new Lighting Scheme Design service that provides specific recommendations on the best energy efficient LED lighting to use inside and outside buildings, car parks or industrial sites. The service is being launched at the LuxLive exhibition in Earls Court, London, from 6-7 November 2012 (Stand E02).

Marl can accept a CAD drawing of the internal or external area to be lit, or a simple dimensional drawing, and will use 3D modelling software to choose the most suitable energy efficient LED lighting products, and place them to achieve the desired effect. In consequence, the right light level is available in each location, but the minimum of light leaks upwards or sideways into areas where it isn’t needed. Marl will then implement the scheme using standard or custom products that it manufactures based on leading edge LED lighting technology.

According to Adrian Rawlinson, Managing Director of Marl International, “led high bay light can make or break the appearance of a building – making it welcoming, attractive and safe or conversely, threatening, unattractive and hazardous. LED lighting is energy efficient and highly directional – minimising the issue of wasted light. We have exact models of the light output of the products that we supply. Using the design tools we have, we can combine our models with customers’ designs and statements of requirements to come up with a lighting scheme that produces the best effect for the least energy and installation cost.
