Energy saving lighting solutions for the education sector
3E (UK) Ltd specialise in providing cost effective lighting solutions for the education sector, including schools, colleges, and universities.
We work with educational establishments across the UK to ensure they have lighting systems in place that will save on energy costs and last the test of time!
LED lighting solutions for Educational Settings
Educational establishments need to ensure they are energy efficient; not only is this cost effective to reduce operating costs, but also ensures that students learn in the best possible environment.

LED lighting options improve the quality of light and output, with no chance of flickering. They are cleaner and clearer than non-LED options, aiding concentration and keeping spirits high. LED solutions are also extremely cost effective, using only a fraction of the electricity compared to traditional bulbs, and they last for up to 5 x longer.
We offer a range of high-quality, cost-effective luminaires to maximise the savings that can be achieved while being affordable, reliable and effective. From the largest academies to the smallest Infant schools, entire campuses to the smallest assembly hall, we have the expertise to provide low energy, minimal maintenance lighting to help ease pressure on tight budgets.
Cost Saving Examples in Schools
We have been able to help ease the pressure on the electricity costs while ensuring the quality of the classroom lighting is either maintained or enhanced.
Please see below just some examples of the savings we have achieved:
- School B – there are 407 modern T5 luminaires in this school. 3E have been able to reduce the energy consumed from 31.7kW to 13.8kW – a reduction in energy costs of 57%.
- School B Infants – there are 215 luminaires in this school. 3E have been able to reduce the energy consumed from 16.4kW to 7.5kW – a reduction in energy costs of 54%.
- School C – there are 422 luminaires in this school. 3E have been able to reduce the energy consumed from 21.4kW to 10.2kW – a reduction in energy costs of 52%.
- School H – there are 85 luminaires in this school. 3E have been able to reduce the energy consumed from 6.28kW to 2.0kW – a reduction in energy costs of 68%.
- School O – there are 260 luminaires in this school. 3E have been able to reduce the energy consumed from 11.8kW to 6.2kW – a reduction in energy costs of 48%.

Key Benefits of Installing LEDs in Educational Settings
- Energy saving – reductions in energy costs of up to 80%
- Zero Maintenance – “fit and forget”; nothing to replace once the work is complete.
- Elimination of glass from the workplace – removing the risk of accidental injury through cut glass.
- Long lifetime – luminaires offer between 50,000 -100,000 hours use, reducing the need for staff working from ladders to change bulbs.
- Low lumen degradation – extraordinarily little light output reduction over time.
- Cost effective – 3E strive to offer the best price value relationship without sacrificing quality.
- FIVE YEAR WARRANTY
Lighting installation options
We can offer a full installation service for both new installations and retrofitting to existing lighting set ups.
We also offer a luminaire refurbishment service to minimise the impact that change can have on a busy university or school. This can often prove to be more cost effective than providing new fittings.
