Project Brief:
Premier Foods plc is a British foods manufacturer with headquarters consisting of a 4-story office block situated in St. Albans. The existing lighting was made up of approximately 400 modular fluorescent T8 luminaires in a suspended ceiling and a small number of recessed downlights.
The luminaires were being controlled in zones of 6 – 10 fixtures with PIR movement sensors operating each of the zones individually. This system was to be retained but renewed with new marshalling boxes and sensors and reconfigured where necessary.
The project would include the complete supply and installation of all luminaires and ancillary electrical equipment, with the work being undertaken outside of office hours to minimise disruption to the facility. The new LED luminaire would be required to have minimum 3 year warranty and incorporate a quality power supply from a recognised manufacturer.
Project Solution:
Following a survey of the site, interLED proposed the Lynx Pro LED panel luminaire and provided a lighting design simulation to prove we would achieve the desired lux levels of 400 – 500 l at desk level. The current designed layout was with 3 or 4 clear tiles between luminaires in the ceiling grid. This was deemed to be typical in nature and would facilitate a ‘like for like’ replacement scheme. During installation there were a few isolated areas that soon become apparent were too concentrated with the new LED panels. Some minor on-site reconfiguration was carried out to the client’s satisfaction. It can often be the case in new LED installations with luminaires operating at full output that the occupants take a short time to adjust to the new environment. Rarely are the fluorescent fittings in a building operating at full output, especially prior to a new LED fitout. The occupants can become accustomed to a low level and poor quality of lighting.
interLED provided the client with a complete solution including survey, consulting, design, supply and installation. The work was completed successfully over 2 weekends with minimum disruption. interLED offered a 5 years manufacturers warranty on the luminaire and ‘Philips’ power supply, exceeding the client’s expectations.

We have worked with interLED on several projects over last few years and can trust their extensive expertise and experience of LED products. They will never compromise on quality in order to secure an order but still manage to remain competitive. They provide a knowledge and service that you can't get from an electrical wholesaler. Highly recommended

Simon Greasley - Director, Allaero Ltd
Allaero required hi-tech lighting to compliment our state of the art warehouse. interLED exceeded our expectations with their service and product supplies, and now we have a showcase warehouse. The system is completely automated with PIRs which compliment the 30% dimming function on the units, so when the warehouse is not in a rush period the lights dim to save power but still provide visibility. As soon as movement is detected the particular section of the warehouse illuminates instantly providing excellent working light.
Mercedes Benz, Bedford - Mercedes Benz
Our honest opinion on the interRAY heaters is that they heat the space up far better than the gas warm air heaters - our technicians are much happier with this heating option and the room will stay warmer even with the roller doors in pretty constant use. They are also more environmentally friendly and the cost was a fraction of the gas equivalent works we will have needed. They are smart looking and effective heaters.
