LED Lighting in Education
LED LIGHTING FOR SCHOOLS, COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
Lighting in schools, colleges and universities is proven to improve concentration and performance in both pupils and teachers. Poor quality lighting including fluorescent battens and tubes are known for their constant flickering and resulting in lamp failure. Fluorescent lights contain harmful mercury gases, cause migraines, and produce a Yellow/Orange tinge that does not aid student productivity.
Compact fluorescents (CFLs) and fluorescent tube have a typical lamp life of 10,000 hours but this can reduced to as much as half of that due to constant switching on and off, most LED fittings have an average lamp life of 25,000 hours but can be much higher in new LED's between 50,000 and 100,000 hours.
Brightly lit LED classrooms are the way forward. With our range of school approved LED lighting fixtures and fittings from the market leading brands, our lights do not strobe, glare, or flicker, and the bright white output provides students and teachers with the correct lighting levels needed in the classroom to optimise learning. Additionally, school budgets can be dramatically reduced as the energy use is much less and maintenance overheads are nearly non-existent.
LED lighting is the highest trending energy saving measure within UK schools right now because it delivers the savings you seek up to 90% and the savings are instant totalling thousands of pounds a year in an average primary school. Most LED fittings we supply in schools come with motion sensors that drive further energy savings as students can't always be relied to switch off lights, sensors will turn off the light when room is empty and switch on when someone enters the room or hallway.

LED FLOODLIGHTS – ILLUMINATING SCHOOL EXTERIORS
School exteriors, including classroom exteriors, play areas, car park and pathways should be illuminated for pupils, teachers, and parents to ensure safety around the school. The visibility needs to be clear so that teachers who start work early can walk safely and easily into school, especially in the colder months when the clocks go back, and the daylight hours are shorter.
The school also needs to be illuminated in the evenings too – for example, parents’ evenings, after school clubs and other activities whether inside or outside, need to be lit to ensure safety within the school. The Ansell LED CCT Wallpack range provides exterior walls with a robust yet aesthetically pleasing option. These highly energy efficient LED Floodlights still deliver up to 91Lm/W and replace metal halide, halogen, and sodium floodlights from 50W to 250W.
