Modern lighting systems such as LED lighting solutions 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 lighting solutions for schools 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 lighting solutions for schools and universities 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 single assembly halls, we have the expertise to provide low energy, minimal maintenance LED lighting and lighting control systems to help ease pressure on tight budgets.

Lighting Systems for Schools - Installation options
We can offer a full installation service for schools and universities 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.
