The Benefits of Re-Lamping
Health and Safety Obligations
To ensure workplace safety, appropriate level of lighting is a legal responsibility for all public, industrial and commercial buildings. Just because your lamps haven't blown doesn't mean that they don't need to be replaced. A fluorescent lamp will produce around 30% less light after 2 years while a sodium lamp will produce 50% less light all while consuming the same amount of power! As well as a health and safety risk this will also impact productivity levels.
Regular re-lamping is essential for reducing the risk of accidents in the workplace, resulting in a liability free environment for the employer. Health and Safety inspectors will routinely test for the correct lighting levels so it is imperative that a re-lamping schedule is strictly observed.
| Lamp Light | Guideline to maximum re-lamping period to comply with legal obligations |
|---|---|
| Fluorescent | 1.5 - 2 years |
| Sodium | 1.5 - 2 years |
| Metal Halide | 2 year |
You've got great opportunities when
re-lamping
Change to energy saving lighting solutions:- Cut your running costs by 20-80%
- Reduce your carbon footprint to help achieve your carbon reduction commitment (CRC)

The photos above shows old sodium lamps being replaced by energy efficient metal halide white lamps. Re-lamping
resulted in return to legal lighting requirement levels and a reduction in energy
costs.
