High Leigh School in Hertfordshire is lighting the way for brighter learning with the completion of a lighting upgrade that sees Luceco deliver a new energy-efficient and high-performance solution.
A smarter switch
Working closely with leading southern based building service company, Hopkins, Luceco were asked to design a complete lighting solution, marking a transition from a competitor brand. Luceco undertook a site survey to produce a fully compliant lighting scheme that would futureproof the school.
Key requirements for the upgrade included increased energy efficiency, reduced operational costs, and improved light quality for classrooms and communal areas. Luceco’s comprehensive and performance-led solution included a diverse product mix of:
| Litera | Versatile, efficient and high-performance linear lighting available in both surface-mounted and suspended installation options. |
| Platinum Downlight | High-performance downlight range delivering up to 132 lm/W efficacy, featuring an aluminium reflector and quick-install swing tab design. |
| LuxPanel Extra | Luceco’s flagship backlit LED panel range, offering enhanced lumen output, excellent efficacy and balanced light distribution. |
| Climate Extra IP66 | Robust IP66 weatherproof linear luminaire with polycarbonate housing, opal diffuser, stainless-steel clips and Speedfit installation for fast fitting. |
| Callisto | Wide-area lens distribution makes Callisto ideal for illuminating open spaces, sports facilities and external environments. |
| Climate Extra | IP66-rated linear weatherproof range available in 1200mm and 1500mm lengths, suitable for both surface and suspended mounting. |
| Celeste Bulkhead | Durable polycarbonate bulkhead designed for high-traffic areas such as corridors, stairways and communal spaces. |
Luceco Project Manager, Paul Carter comments, “From the outset, our goal was to deliver a lighting solution that not only met the technical and sustainability requirements of High Leigh School but that also provided an enhanced modern learning environment for staff and pupils. By collaborating closely with the team at Hopkins and designing the scheme, we were able to provide a cohesive, energy-efficient solution that will benefit the school for years to come.”
Nick Westmore, Pre Construction Manager at Hopkins comments, “Working with Luceco from the design stage gave us complete confidence in the delivery of this project. The quality and versatility of the product range made installation straightforward, and the end result has provided High Leigh School with a reliable, energy-efficient lighting solution that meets the demands of a modern educational environment.”
