Nearly 1,000 Goodlight LED lights
illuminate Bristol eco-apartments
Award-winning complex makes more savings with Goodlight LED
offers a long life as well as consuming very little
energy.”
Etienne Cadestin specified Goodlight LED
products from LED Eco Lights. He said, “Whilst
many vendors claim long lives for their LED
lights, Goodlight LED lamps and luminaires
stood out because they support their products
with a five year guarantee. This gave us
confidence that the specified 50,000 hour life
span would be achieved, effectively eliminating
the need for staff to replace lights on the site on
a regular basis. We were also looking for a
retrofit technology, which means we were able
to use the existing fittings to achieve higher cost
efficiency and reduce the project’s carbon
footprint. ” Etienne Cadestin confirmed that the
installation of the lights was straightforward.
Saima Shafi, Sales & Marketing Director at LED
Eco Lights, explained, “Goodlight lamps are
specifically designed for retro fit applications.
We offer an LED equivalent for most of the
existing lighting which can be quickly and simply
installed into the existing fixture.”

ensure compliance. The existing lights were
mainly fluorescent lights. The operators of the
complex, sought longer lasting lights to reduce
the frequency of replacement. Energy
consumption was also a concern, as the lights
can be on for twelve hours or more per night in
winter.
Longevity Partners conducted a thorough review
of the market. Etienne Cadestin, Managing
Director of Longevity Partners explained, “The
operators are keen to maintain the complex to
the highest possible standards. A failed light is
clearly a compliance issue until it is replaced. It
also reduces the confidence of residents moving
around the complex after dark, creates a
potential safety hazard and presents a poor
image. We recommended LED lighting which
Longevity Partners implemented the
Lakeshore project as a rolling programme to
replace each of the 957 lights on the complex
with a suitable alternative from the LED Eco
Lights Goodlight range. LED Eco Lights
supplied 3W Emergency Downlights, T5 5ft LED
tubes, Emergency Bulkheads, and PL Lamps
from the Goodlight range. Many lights are
battery backed up, ensuring continued
operation in the event of a power failure or
other emergency. Goodlight LED switch on
instantly at full brightness with no warm-up
required. They use much less power than other
lighting technologies, and are maintenance
free. Their 50,000 hour lifespan equates to
eleven years if switched on for 12 hours per
day. Goodlight LED products are guaranteed for
five years.
The programme was managed and delivered as
a turnkey project by Longevity Partners as part
of its energy efficiency and cost optimisation
services. Longevity Partners provides services
to all types of property including hotels, offices,
warehouses, residential complexes, public
buildings, schools and universities.
