Councils opt for LED

Two Welsh councils are the latest in a line of customers that have put their faith in Dextra Lighting to reduce their energy spend this year through the introduction of LED lighting systems.

Caerphilly Council has made use of Dextra’s experience in the care home sector and had a number of its care homes upgraded with interior LED lighting.

Highfield Court, Woodland View and Oakland’s have all had the Dextra AMD L15R25C fitting installed which has created impressive energy savings in all three properties. Dextra Lighting has already had excellent feedback from the residents of Highfield Court in particular who are happy with the control of the new fittings, which is done individually by the microwave sensors.

Lighting levels have been hugely improved by simply specifying a point for point replacement. Dextra is expected to fit more care homes in the area in the coming months.

In addition to this, a number of schools in the region are also paying an interest in the Dextra school lighting range, with one, Newbridge Comprehensive School already working with Dextra to have new MODLED panel lighting fitted within their main hall with more excellent feedback, this time, from the Head Teacher via Maintenance Manager, Byron Burnett.

Rhondda Cynon Taff Council are looking for a commercial LED lighting solution using LED ceiling lighting and have shown interest in Dextra’s MODLED fittings. These are currently being installed in a four-storey government office in Pontypridd.

In addition to this, the council has also specified the same LED panel lighting for Darren Park School which is to be the first all-LED lighting school in the borough. Both these projects are fully controlled with daylight sensors.

Dextra is currently promoting this success to its other council customers within the area such as Merthyr Tydfil and Cardiff Council, who say Salix Funding has proved the major factor in helping them invest in new recessed LED lighting projects in the region.
