Often overlooked, but lighting can significantly impact a building's energy consumption. But reducing your wattage consumption doesn't mean you have to endure dim lighting conditions. Here are some key strategies you can implement to significantly reduce your lighting costs without compromising on quality or ambiance.
Key Strategies to Reduce Lighting Costs:
Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Lighting:
LED Lighting: If you're currently using fluorescent bulbs and light tubes, it's time to change to LED lights. For e.g. fluorescent tubes are consuming 36W, and LED tubes only consume 18-20W. That's atleast a 50% saving there per tube. Imagine how much savings you can enjoy by upgrading your estate's lighting to LED lights!
There are also different degrees of energy efficiency within LED light products. Consider lighting with a higher luminous efficacy, so that you can enjoy greater brightness at a lower energy cost. Here at Brite, our products are manufactured with luminous efficacy of atleast 120lm/w, exceed industry standards.
Implement Lighting Controls:
Dimmers: By dimming lights when full brightness is not needed, you can reduce energy consumption.
Timers: Use timers to automatically turn lights on and off during the day and low traffic period. E.g. for a condominium carpark, you may want to set a timer for alternate lighting on/off from 7am to 7pm.
Motion Sensors: These motion sensors can detect the movement and automatically adjust lighting levels, further reducing energy consumption. Here at Brite, we use the latest Microwave Sensor in our products for greater sensitivity and performance.

Optimise your Lighting Design:
Proper Lighting Layout: Design your lighting layout to maximise natural light and minimise the need for artificial lighting. This includes the use of glass and low walls to allow sunlight to light up the area during the day time.
Effective Fixture Selection: Choose the right type of fixtures for each area, such as recessed downlights for corridors and walkways, LED tubes for carparks or track lighting for feature walls and decorations.
Light Level Control: Ensure that lighting levels are appropriate for the specific task or activity. Here's a guide on how to quickly calculate how much lighting you need for your area. If you want to be
