CASE STUDY
LED lighting transforms
Banbury and Bicester College
Activate Learning, an educational organisation based in Oxford with three
FE colleges, two technical colleges and a marketing consulting company,
has refurbished its Banbury and Bicester College campus, utilising LED
lighting supplied by Zeta Specialist Lighting.
As part of an ongoing refurbishment project, Activate Learning commenced
a competitive tender for the supply and installation of new lighting for three
key areas within Banbury and Bicester College – the main corridor linking the
reception area with the classrooms, a gaming area for students and the IT
learning room.
The brief included a requirement for energy-efficient lighting that would
cut the college’s energy bills and reduce the workload of its maintenance team
through long-lasting, low maintenance operation.
Zeta recommended its Ultra Slim Ceiling Panels for all three areas. Panels
in the main corridor were also fitted with Zeta Emergency Kits, which provide
over three hours of emergency, ultra-low 5W lighting.
The ultra slim ceiling panels give off more light and use significantly less
power than fluorescent tubes, producing annual cost savings of around 50%.
They also require less maintenance, as a standard fluorescent tube has an
average rated life of 15,000 hours compared to 50,000 hours for Zeta’s LED
ultra slim panels.
With a thickness of only 7mm, the ultra slim design allows for easy
installation and offers an enhanced aesthetic appearance once in-situ. Panels
can be supplied in bespoke sizes, if required, and can be installed as surface-
mounted or recessed luminaires.
The college specified 600 x 600mm panels for the main corridor and eight
1200 x 300mm surface-mounted ultra-slim panels for the IT room.
“Zeta’s recommended solution was both competitive and cost-effective,”
said Facilities Manager Bridget Richardson. “We especially wanted a product
that would save on maintenance and as Zeta’s LEDs have a long life, we were
happy that our maintenance team wouldn’t be continually up and down
ladders changing them.”
