Lighting Upgrades, Nationwide

Nationwide Lighting Upgrades

At H&F Electrical Contractors Ltd (HFE), we are committed to driving sustainable
solutions that help our clients reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs,
and contribute positively to environmental sustainability. Our nationwide lighting upgrade projects are a testament to our dedication to renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Scope and Expertise

HFE has successfully delivered comprehensive lighting upgrade projects across a
wide range of sectors, including commercial, industrial, healthcare, educational,
and public infrastructure. Our projects typically involve the design, installation, and
commissioning of advanced energy-efficient lighting systems tailored to meet specific client requirements.

Sustainable Solutions

We prioritise the integration of renewable and energy-saving technologies. Our
approach includes:

• Strip Out and Safe Disposal: Removing old fittings and ensuring their safe disposal through WEEE recycling, supporting responsible waste management.
• LED Retrofitting: Upgrading traditional lighting systems to energy-efficient LED
  technology, offering longer life spans and significant energy savings.
• Smart Lighting Systems: Incorporating automated controls, daylight harvesting,
  and occupancy sensors to optimise energy usage.
• DALI Addressable Lighting Systems: Implementing fully addressable lighting
  solutions with the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) to provide
  flexible, intelligent control over lighting levels and operational schedules.
• Daylight Dimming PIRs & Absence Detection: Installing systems that automatically adjust lighting based on natural daylight levels and detect absence to switch off lighting when areas are unoccupied, enhancing efficiency.
• Timeclocks: Installing programmable time clocks to ensure lighting systems
  operate only when needed, further reducing energy waste.
• Energy Shedding at Peak Times: Integrating systems capable of reducing
  energy demand during peak times to alleviate grid pressure and enhance
  efficiency.
• Renewable Energy Integration: Where feasible, integrating lighting systems with
  on-site renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV) systems.
• PSCS Responsibilities: Acting as the Project Supervisor Construction Stage
  (PSCS) where required, managing health and safety coordination during the
  works in compliance with statutory regulations.
• Phasing Requirements: Executing projects in carefully planned phases to
  accommodate live, occupied environments, minimising disruption to operations
  and ensuring safety.
• Future-Proofing with Trusted Supplier Network: Ensuring energy-efficient luminaires and systems are sourced from our expansive and trusted supplier network to provide lasting and sustainable solutions.
