Lighting

Saving energy easily starts with your lamps. A large part of the total electricity consumption in a mill is from lighting. By replacing incandescent lights with LED lights, you can achieve considerable savings. LED lamps are already available in many types, sizes and colours. Dimmable types are available and they do not have a start-up time like energy-saving lights.

LED lamps

An LED lamp consumes 80% less power and lasts 25 times longer than an incandescent lamp. At 4 hours of operation per day, LED lamps will last 15 years. Replacing a 40W incandescent lamp with a 10W LED lamp saves around 10 euros per year (at 4 hours of operation per day). LED lamps  come in all sorts of shades, shapes and sizes.

  • Short cost recovery period
  • 25,000 burning hours compared to 7,000 for an energy-saving bulb and 1,000 for a light bulb
  • A quick and easy measure to save energy and money
  • Available in various variants & styles
  • You can carry out this measure yourself
  • LED bulbs do not fit all fixtures, check this carefully before purchasing the bulbs
  • It may be necessary to install a special dimmer

Directeur van Singer Laren Evert van Os over hun LED-verlichting

"Met TL-verlichting hadden we wel is lichtvlekken op de kunst omdat het daglicht te vel was. Dat is gevaarlijk voor de kunst: zo krijg je te veel lux op je kunstwaarden. Met LED-verlichting is dat probleem nu verholpen”

Sensors for lighting

We all leave the light on from time to time. It uses quite a lot of energy unnoticed. By combining motion sensors with LED lamps, you reduce the energy consumption for your lighting. The motion sensors pick up the changes in heat radiation, so the light only comes on when someone enters a room. This way, you avoid wasting energy.

  • The lighting switches on/off automatically
  • Makes a big difference compared to the old situation
  • Short cost recovery period
  • Saves energy
  • Often used in public areas, less suitable for bedrooms for example
