Thorlux is closed for the Christmas break and will re-open on Thursday 2nd January 2025. Merry Christmas! The rising cost of energy
Every business is aware that energy prices are at an all-time high. In fact, they are three to four times greater than in 2021. Then, the average UK electricity unit price was around 12p/kWh; today, this is more like 30–40p/kWh, depending on supplier and energy deal. This price rise is significantly impacting companies in every industry.
How can Thorlux help?
With the cost of energy being so high, there has never been a smarter time to modernise your lighting. Lighting is an essential resource that, on average, accounts for one-fifth of all power consumption. Greater lighting efficiency can produce significant savings. Thorlux Lighting can help you save on energy through high-performance, energy-efficient luminaires and control systems.
Reduce energy use by 70%.
Introducing SmartScan.
SmartScan is a revolutionary wireless lighting management system that maximises energy savings and automates emergency lighting testing and record keeping. The system allows users to monitor their energy performance data and complete operational information for all SmartScan standard and emergency luminaires. This information is displayed on the SmartScan website which is accessible anywhere.
SmartScan luminaires contain a discrete integral sensor which monitors ambient light and occupancy, controlling output to the correct level and only illuminating when needed. SmartScan-equipped projects frequently benefit from energy savings exceeding 70% when compared with conventional technology.
