LEDS
During 2011 Prestwick identified a natural related product to offer to its customer base.

LED lighting utilises pcb assemblies to provide a more cost effective lighting solution. In addition to energy reduction, LED lighting offers superior quality lighting and extremely long life with no health hazards.

It can be used for all lighting requirements, in domestic, commercial and industrial areas. Combining solar energy with LED lighting using PIR has been shown to provide a very cost effective solution to security, especially in areas where power is not readily available.

With the recent advances in technology LEDs are ready for the mass market and can be fitted in most cases as a direct replacement to existing fittings. For low voltage LEDs, a specific LED driver must replace the traditional transformer. LEDs can now be supplied with a choice of colours.

LEDs are very robust and have a long life….over 50,000hours. All LEDs supplied by Prestwick are manufactured using the best chips available, and are guaranteed for 2 years.

LED lights provide the most cost effective efficient way of lighting your home or business. The running costs of LED lights can be as low as 10% when compared to conventional bulbs.

Suppliers are selected and monitored in the exact same process as we have done for PCBs

Prestwick off a free lighting survey which helps to identify how energy costs can be reduced whilst improving the quality of lighting used.
