BAA Southampton Airport win top price for LED Lighting:
Engineers at Southampton Airport have been awarded a top prize for sourcing new and innovative ways of saving energy, using efficient LED lighting systems. The award was voted for by hundreds of engineering specialists from across BAA’s seven UK airport’s, and competed against many other energy saving initiatives developed throughout the company.
The new LED lighting systems designed and manufactured by Gemma Lighting and Displays have been installed around the airport, giving substantial savings in energy use, carbon emissions and costs.
The brilliant white light gives off little or no glare, which is ideal for use in clean and functional environments, such as airports, and is also transferable to other public buildings, such as hospitals and shopping centres.
The lights boast low voltage, efficient power use and minimal heat production, which cuts the use of energy. As a result, CO2 emissions from powering the new lights are predicted to be reduced by around 75%, when compared to conventional lighting.

Innovative LED Lighting Scheme installed into school classrooms:
Gemma Lighting and Displays have recently been involved with an innovative LED lighting scheme. In association with Nottingham based Atkins Design Solutions, Gemma Lightings Venus 32 watt LED ceiling lights were supplied and fitted into classrooms at All Saints Catholic School in Mansfield Nottinghamshire. The new LED lighting scheme was very much welcomed by All Saints who are one of the first schools within the UK to try out the benefits of this technology. |

Don Lack, Chartered Scientist and Sustainability Consultant for Atkins Design Solutions commented “The major improvement to the lighting system in the classrooms has been achieved by utilising light emitting diodes (LED's) which with a life cycle of 50,000 hours, has already proven to be more energy efficient then the traditional fluorescent lighting which was previously fitted. When surveyed the original lighting levels were low and the distribution around the classroom was poor with very little light falling on the white board at the front of the classroom. This poor luminance left the classrooms rather dark and did not create an enjoyable atmosphere in which to teach or learn. However, the new LED lighting has created a brighter environment in which to study and has been very well received by teachers and pupils alike. It’s certainly a great improvement on the previous lighting scheme”.
