Fuel costs are ever increasing and will continue to do so and “New Power Stations are not enough to keep the lights on” Alistair Buchanan, Ofgem Chief Executive February 2013

Fuel costs are growing 9.62% faster than the current rate of inflation ( 3.4%)....

Royal Bank of Scotland Research December 2011 “Lighting is essential for carrying out daily business activity but it can account for up to 40% of a company’s total electricity bill.”

“It is time for a revolution in the way people save energy if they are to mitigate their soaring utility bills and keep the lights on” Ofgem February 2013 “The ILC low energy lighting solutions can decrease lighting energy costs and carbon emissions by over 50%, equivalent to 20% of the energy bill and often can provide investment pay backs over 1 to 2 years and returns on investment of 3 to 4 often over the lifetime of the fluorescent tube system”.

We often provide a full payback of the investment within 1-2 years and returns of over 400% during the warranty period...........everything else you save is money straight to your bottom line.

The ILC “A 20% cut in energy costs represents the same bottom line benefit as a 5% increase in sales” Carbon Trust.

YOUR LOW ENERGY LIGHTING SOLUTION As one of Europe’s leading suppliers of cost and carbon saving lighting solutions we specialise in a wide variety of contemporary lighting technologies – an extensive portfolio of Induction, LED, T5 and T5 Retrofit linear fluorescent tubes, and Cold Cathode (LCD) T8 linear tubes.

Our specialist Induction lighting solutions are complimented by a growing portfolio of LED and T5 quality products that can provide 50% savings on lighting energy costs and commensurate carbon savings when compared with traditional lighting systems – SON, Metal Halide, Halogen, T8 fluorescents - with pay back periods (often less than 2 years) and lifetime costs are far more cost effective than conventional lighting.

This greatly assists companies to combat ever increasing energy bills and meet carbon reduction targets.

Induction lighting also has the added benefit of longevity – designed to operate over 100,000 hours (c.f. LED 50,000 hours, T5 up to 20,000 hours)- reducing the need for many replacement lamps and the subsequent maintenance cost and carbon savings.

YOU CAN REDUCE YOUR LIGHTING ENERGY COSTS BY OVER 50% - FACT At The ILC we have modern solutions to combat energy costs inflation that provide REAL BENEFITS. You can reduce your energy costs by over 50% You can reduce your carbon emissions by over 50% You can reduce your CRC tax by £12 per tonne You can reduce your lighting maintenance costs You can improve your lighting and working environment You do not need a capital expenditure budget You can pay the whole costs from your energy savings The ILC low energy carbon reduction lighting solutions can decrease carbon emissions and reduce lighting operating costs by over 50%.

The Low Fat Lighting solutions offer much improved lighting, massive cost savings and huge carbon reductions to provide bottom line benefits – the three are inextricably linked and give a 3 for 1 benefit.

New robust Induction and LED lamps and fittings (luminaires), provide a portfolio of lighting options which when designed and implemented appropriately deliver operating costs and carbon reductions in excess of 50%, returns on investment within 12/24 months, and long life

(>80,000 hours) equating to much reduced life time costs when compared to traditional lighting units (SON, Metal Halide, and halogen), and contemporary T5, and LED replacement and new fittings.

YOU DON’T NEED A CAPEX BUDGET AND APPROVALS At The ILC we have access to funding which, subject to status, will allow you to pay for the new lighting solution and installation without the need for a Capital Expenditure budget. In the vast majority of cases the monthly energy savings alone cover the monthly payments for the finance, and importantly, within the warranty period.

At the end of the 'rental' period you own the lighting and ALL the monthly savings thereafter are to your financial benefit.

The ILC solution offers better compliant lighting, lower energy costs, reduced carbon emissions for your Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC), reduced maintenance costs, and Corporation Tax savings, all for a monthly payment usually lower than your energy savings.

A real “5 benefits in 1” 'no cost' solution.

LIGHTING DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU 10 YEARS ENERGY AND COSTS SAVINGS Most luminaires are CE, RoHS, FCC, certified and comply with EU directives and design standards and are covered by a 5 year full lamp and ballast fitting replacement warranty ( 43,800 operating hours) with a manufacturers rated lifetime of c 100,000 hours (10 years).

In many cases the payback period is less than 2 years and the total energy costs savings over the warranty period provide returns on investment of 400% or more.
