LED lighting

Shown to eliminate migraines, eye strain and fatigue associated with flickering fluorescent lights, institutions are looking to replace traditional lighting with energy-efficient LEDs to create improved learning environments. Adopting cleaner, more energy-efficient lighting also reduces energy use and improves energy management. Reducing energy costs with a lighting retrofit could make a big difference in a school’s budget. Our wide selection of CCT, lumen selectable and voltage sensing fixtures make transitioning to LEDs for schools faster, easier and more affordable.

Wraparound fixtures
LED wrap light applications include every nook and cranny of a school. Our CCT and lumen selectable wraps make it easier to adjust colour, intensity and distribution of lights. These energy-saving, low maintenance and highly versatile wraps are a simple replacements for existing lamp fixtures and help schools reduce budgetary costs.
Centre baskets
Our centre baskets offer smooth, even, light with colour and lumen selectable capabilities allowing users to choose from a variety of power outputs and colour temperatures. LED centre baskets are perfect for a multitude of general illumination applications in schools and other institutional settings and deliver substantial energy and maintenance savings.
Strip lights
Featuring CCT, lumen selectable and/or voltage sensing capabilities, our selection of LED strip lights are designed to prevent energy loss and increase energy savings by allowing the end-user to manage degree of luminosity in applications or spaces requiring continuous lighting, such as hallways and common areas, and can regulate light levels according to occupancy.
Canopy luminaires
Using between 40–600W, retrofitting canopy lighting to LEDs often equals energy savings of 40%-60%. Always delivering evenly displaced illumination, LEDs feature selectable CCT and lumen options for added performance and a lifespan often in excess of 100k hours to drastically reduce maintenance costs.
LED school lighting products
Touchless controls

From simple to more complex solutions, our institutional and commercial touch-free lighting control products can be used by themselves or as part of a bigger system. From plug-ins to switches and sensors, we stock products with cutting-edge technology to ensure you achieve the accuracy and reliability needed for the job.
