Magnet recently completed the
design and installation of an
energy efficient lighting solution
at the new offices of Woodhead
Bigby Attorneys in Umhlanga,
KwaZulu-Natal.
The design objective of the
lighting system required the
selection of low energy fittings
that would enhance the aes-
thetics of a professional office
environment and ensure the
right amount of light when and
where it was needed.
Magnet has extensive ex-
perience in identifying energy
saving opportunities and imple-
menting appropriate eco-friendly
solutions to reduce wasted
electricity. To ensure low power
consumption and maximum
comfort for the occupants of the
revamped building, over 100 low
energy internal light fittings and
lamps along with occupancy sen-
sors, which save hours of wasted
lighting each day, were installed
throughout the building.
Philips 30W and 60WSmart-
Bright troffers were used in the
office spaces and 10W and 17W
SmartBright downlights were
installed in other areas to achieve
the required lux levels and colour
temperature.
The reduced lighting con-
sumption lowers operating
costs, and helps to decrease
Green House Gas (GHG) emis-
sions. Additional savings include
reduced lamp replacement and
maintenance requirements and
lower power demand during
peak hours.
Scott Bigby ofWoodhead Big-
by Attorneys says that the com-
pany is “thrilled with the lighting
solution provided by Magnet”.
He also makes the point that
because“…power consumption
on lighting is extremely low it is
therefore also generator-friendly
during outages”.
