    I was originally introduced to LED Lighting in 2011 but our little family business really took off in 2012 and we are also CARBON TRUST ACCREDITED. This has financial benefits for our clients. It is our belief that efficient energy solutions should be affordable to everyone and that business owners should not be punished financially for simply running their organisation. In March 2016 we introduced our new generation far Infrared Panel Heaters, a sweet match as both boast their own health and safety benefits. The advantages of LED lighting are well known and alternative solutions further increase energy/financial savings, namely a multitude of sensor options.Infrared Heat is a natural source of heat and has been around for years, much like LEDs, and like LEDs this new generation are far more efficient. Unlike traditional heaters that only warm up the air, Infrared heats objects in its environment including the human body. The cost savings are through the low wattage, a 300w unit replacing a typical 2000w fan heater, and the install costs which are virtually zero. In any environment we can install bespoke thermostatic controls that allow even greater savings, simply controlled from a central pc or app on your mobile.The savings are MASSIVE and VERY REAL with a consequential reduction in your company’s carbon footprint. Our survey is free and detailed, and you’ll always be offered the most advanced technology that’s available on the UK/European market at the lowest cost, and we have high profile HAPPY clients to prove it.Our products fit the criteria laid down by the Carbon Trust enabling tax benefits, they all carry the correct certification, compliances and most have a 5 year warranty, and we now have virtually all of our warehouse and food lighting manufactured here in the UK.
