A Snapshot

Luton & Dunstable University Hospital sought a more cost-effective, energy-efficient LED lighting installation as well as one that creates a welcoming ambience throughout the hospital, as part of a £6m refurbishment.

Aurora upgraded existing fittings to LED, which were primarily tungsten halogen and fluorescents. Creating a safe, clean and friendly environment was a core objective; “It is extremely important that patients feel as at ease and as comfortable as they can and this is especially important in places such as the consultancy rooms.”

Outcome

Aurora’s strategy led to energy savings of 46%, improved patient experience and enhanced definition for CCTV monitoring. Outdoor lighting replacements save approximately £15,000 in an 8-year period.

“Luton and Dunstable University Hospital is pleased to report a good saving on costs has been achieved and we are well into payback of the initial capital project investment.”

Leslie Barras concludes:

“We are now entering into phase 2 & 3 of the works, as we are pleased with the choice of Aurora lighting, providing a complete lighting range as specified and the technical back up provided, along with a good warranty period on products.”
