Safety plus cost savings

Thompson Primary School in Norfolk has taken positive steps to save money and improve safety for both staff and pupils by fitting GlassGuard BlackBand coated fluorescent lamps and new IP65 fixtures.

GlassGuard's IP65 T5 fixtures have been installed in the main hall, staff room and foundation class room, delivering an energy saving of 37% in these areas. The installation of just 22 of the fixtures will save the school 1kW of energy per hour, which equates to a cash saving £182 per year, a significant sum for a small school and an indication of the energy saving opportunities for larger installations.

GlassGuard BlackBand coated lamps provide full glass retention when impacted or if accidentally dropped during maintenance and comply to the latest standard BS EN61549.
