Upgrade Summary

We were contacted by Bittern Primary School to assist them with upgrading their lighting throughout the school. Our experts designed a new lighting system that would result in a significant amount of energy reduction as well as achieve a brighter and more uniform level of lighting. It was proposed that the existing fluorescent lighting be upgraded to the latest LED tube technology. Our electricians completed the upgrade over a weekend which was followed shortly afterwards by a lighting audit. The results of the audit indicated that the light levels had increased by 60% and the energy demand had been markedly reduced by 76%. This project was eligible for the Tier 1 - 100% rebate, meaning that all of the costs to upgrade were covered by credits generated through the VEET scheme.
