FIGURES provided to a Corby firm by lighting specialists KwikLite made it clear the best course of action to take.
The Brixworth LED lighting design and installation company visited Premier Laser & Waterjet Cutting in Phoenix Parkway to discuss the potential for energy saving, efficient lighting.
Eli Ward, KwikLite’s Energy Lighting and Business Manager is an expert in helping clients understand what would work best for them. Following an initial assessment, he provides a calculation of costs, including how long it will take to pay back the cost of the improvement work based on energy savings, as well as guidance on the type of lighting that is required to meet the needs of the business.
In the case of Premier Laser & Waterjet Cutting, Eli’s report showed a projected annual energy saving of 72 per cent, bringing the firm’s annual running costs down from £6,135 to £1,731 with the installation of a new, LED solution.
An outlay of £4,950 would give a projected 10-year cost saving of £44,048, meaning that the new system would have paid for itself in less than a year.
Natalie Jarrold from Premier Laser & Waterjet Cutting, said: “When we saw the figures that Eli produced, it was obvious to us what the best way forward was. It made sense from a financial point of view, as well as representing a saving of some 19 tonnes of CO2 a year. On top of that, we now have a lighting system that is perfect for the premises and is much more pleasant for the staff to work in.”
Eli added: “We were delighted to be able to show Natalie and the team the savings that could be made by installing a new system. Once our customers see the figures, the decision is virtually made for them.
“Each enquiry is treated individually and whatever the size of the firm, from small factory units to large warehouses and manufacturing premises we are confident we can go in and find a solution that works to fit their requirements and budget.”
