Holly Tree Nursery School, Orrell (Wigan), UK
Challenge:
Limited ressources -> thorough planning. Lighting was already on the top of their list to reduce operating cost. They new that the old light wasn’t up to standard and not very sufficient.
They had the feeling that the previous light level had been sufficient so that light quality wasn’t an issue and they were a bit scared that chnaging the light would have a disturbing impact on their daily business.
Solution:
Mainly old raster luminaires equiped with flourescent tubes were replaced by LED panels. Due to the high efficiency the new 2*2ft panels provide more light even though less lamps had been installed. „The new light is a lot brighter and looks more attractive“ according to Lorraine, owner and business manager.
