‘Lighting in the NHS is often over five years’ old, on 24 hours a day, and based on inefficient technology.
However, now LEDs and smart controls can deliver dramatic energy savings – while improving the environment for staff and patients alike.’ So say the organisers of LuxLive 2013, reportedly the UK’s biggest lighting exhibition, being held from 20-21 November at Earls Court, London, and free-to-attend (to register, visit: www.luxlive.co.uk/register) Organisers, Revo Media, said: “By replacing old, inefficient lighting systems with modern alternatives, NHS and other healthcare facilities can slash their energy bills, and reduce their CO2 emissions, while ensuring a suitable environment for diagnosis, treatment, and patient recovery. “Last year estates managers and engineers from many UK NHS Trusts attended LuxLive. The event is a ‘must’ for anyone responsible for the lighting and energy management of healthcare facilities.” LuxLive will bring together ‘leading manufacturers of low energy lighting for healthcare’, including Philips, Cooper, Dextra, Tamlite, and Trilux, with over 180 exhibitors. Seventy hours of free-to-attend talks will focus on exemplar projects, ‘drilling into key technologies’, and debating problems faced by the sector in a dedicated panel discussion.
