FAQs

At WN1, we understand that the cost of a lighting project will depend on the size of your property and the type of lighting fixtures needed. However, we are committed to providing cost-effective solutions that ensure the project fee you pay us is lower than the energy savings you will enjoy. Our team of experts will work with you to design and implement an energy-efficient lighting solution that meets your needs and budget, so you can enjoy long-term savings while also reducing your carbon footprint. 

At WN1, we understand that the upfront costs involved in a lighting installation project can be a concern for businesses. That’s why we offer a flexible funding option where we cover the upfront costs of the installation and charge a fixed fee each month for the duration of the contract. This ensures that the cost of the project is spread out over time and fits within your budget.

At WN1, the duration of an equipment installation, LED lighting or similar, will depend on the size of the project and the complexity of the installation. However, we are committed to completing installations as efficiently and effectively as possible while ensuring minimal disruption to your business operations. 

Before starting any project, our team will conduct a thorough assessment of your property and develop a detailed project plan that includes timelines and milestones. This plan will outline the estimated duration of the installation process and any potential impacts on your business operations. 

Throughout the installation process, we will keep you informed of our progress and any changes to the project plan. Our goal is to complete installations as quickly and safely as possible while ensuring high-quality workmanship and compliance with all relevant health and safety regulations. 

Overall, we strive to provide timely and efficient installations while ensuring minimal disruption to your business operations. 

LED stands for Light Emitting Diodes, which are small lights that fit into an electrical circuit. They are lit up by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material, and they last much longer than traditional lighting.

LED lights save energy, reduces maintenance and replacement costs, and helps to protect the environment. They also have a longer life-span than compared to traditional lighting products 

LED lighting will improve the environment that you work in. Our design will determine the required number of fittings along with the required lux level for a particular space. LED lighting provides a much more natural output.

LED lighting can save up to 90% of the electricity used by incandescent and halogen lights, and up to 75% of electricity used by fluorescent lights.

LED lights are being used in various industries such as hotels, restaurants, shops, factories, auto dealerships, and outdoor lighting where the lighting is on for a long time.

Yes, LED lighting is more efficient than incandescent and halogen lights. LED lights are about 85% more efficient than incandescent lights, and they don’t need as much energy to produce the same amount of light. Additionally, LED lights are designed to last about 50 times longer than incandescent lighting.

LED lights are the best choice due to their solid-state technology, which enables stable dimming with no flickering. Unlike fluorescent lights and compact fluorescent lights (CFLs), LED lights don’t contain hazardous materials such as mercury. LED lights also last longer and don’t completely fail; they only get dimmer over time.

LED lights can have a lifetime of 60,000 hours or more, but it depends on their design and how they dissipate heat from the LED chip. Depending on usage, LED lights can last over 20 years.

LED fittings will save a lot of money over time from reduced energy usage, low replacement and maintenance costs. In new building installations, LED lighting can be the same cost as traditional technology.  We can help with your ROI, and you will see that the savings far outweigh the cost without any upfront capital outlay from yourselves.

The Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme is a new £1bn Grant Scheme launched by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) aimed to deliver significant carbon savings across the Public Sector. 

WN1 Lighting Solutions is working with several public sector organisations across the UK to help them reduce energy costs by implementing energy & heat reduction solutions. This may include, but is not limited to, new heating solutions, technologies that may support future heat decarbonisation, and LED lighting.

The process followed by WN1 Lighting Solutions for implementing energy & heat reduction solutions involves a detailed site audit, producing a proposal and energy saving report, carrying out Salix application, and undertaking all works at an agreed date.

Projects must comply with the following criteria to be eligible for the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme: the cost to save a tonne of Carbon must be no more than £500.00. 

No, with financing and leasing options available, WN1 can cover the full cost of the project without any required capital contribution.

WN1 handles every step of the process by conducting an independent lighting audit and inviting relevant parties to propose for the required works.

Depending on your business type and location, there may be various approvals required such as building regulations and planning permissions. Additionally, if you have an overseeing body, such as an Archdiocese, they may need to approve the project. However, WN1 has experience with these requirements and can assist in obtaining necessary approvals.

Yes, WN1 has multiple teams and can accommodate out-of-hours installations. They have completed similar projects for many businesses in the past.

Absolutely, WN1 will ensure that any EMG lighting currently installed is replaced where required. They will undertake an EMG lighting inspection prior and if additional works are needed, they can look into financing options.

WN1 can apply for the whole amount, including VAT, to be received as long as the project still satisfies relevant criteria. Additionally, financing and leasing options are available to make the project more financially feasible for your business.

• Improved visibility: Proper lighting levels can improve visibility, reducing eye strain and making it easier to read books, whiteboards, and computer screens. LED lights provide brighter and more uniform lighting, making it easier to see details and colors. 

• Better focus and concentration: Brighter and more uniform lighting can help students focus and concentrate better, especially during tasks that require visual attention such as reading, writing, and math. 

• Reduced eye strain and fatigue: LED lighting produces less flicker than traditional lighting, reducing eye strain and fatigue, which can help students remain alert and attentive. 

• Positive impact on mood: LED lighting can have a positive impact on mood, creating a brighter and more inviting learning environment that promotes a positive attitude towards learning. 

• Improved safety: Good lighting can improve safety by reducing the risk of accidents and falls, particularly in areas such as stairwells and corridors. 

• Overall, LED lighting can create a more comfortable, safer, and more conducive learning environment, helping students to learn and perform to their full potential. 

• Reducing visual stress: Some students may have difficulty processing visual information due to conditions such as dyslexia or visual stress syndrome. LED lighting can provide a more even and consistent light, reducing the contrast between light and dark areas that can cause visual stress and discomfort. 

• Providing a more natural light: LED lights can mimic natural daylight, which has been shown to positively impact cognitive function, alertness, and mood. Exposure to natural light can also help regulate the body’s internal clock, which can improve sleep patterns and overall well-being. 

• Improving focus and concentration: LED lighting can provide a bright and even light that helps students focus on their work and stay alert. Bright lighting can also reduce the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, helping students feel more alert and energised during class. 

• Enhancing colour recognition: LED lights can provide a higher colour rendering index (CRI), which means they produce a more accurate representation of colours. This can help students with colour vision deficiencies to better distinguish between colours and improve their overall learning experience. 

• Overall, LED lighting can create a better learning environment for all students, especially those who may have specific learning difficulties. By providing a more even and consistent light, reducing visual stress, and improving focus and concentration, LED lighting can help students reach their full potential.
