Brunts Academy - Mansfield
Brunts Academy is an 11-18 year olds community academy of some 1600 students, including approximately 250 in the Sixth Form, and 150 staff.
Mick Stevens, Brunts Academy’s premises manager explains how the move to LED lighting took place: “I had been wanting to transfer the College over to LED lighting for some time. Following discussions with a colleague in Garibaldi College in Mansfield, who had made the move already, I decided that there was no time like the present!”
The entire school was fitted with replacement LED Lighting resulting in a 45% reduction in Energy Costs!
The project now saves the school £33,671 a Year with a Payback just over 5 Years.
The total cost of the installation was £180,000 and this was funded by Salix meaning there was no upfront cost to the school.

The existing light fittings comprised of a large number of 5ft and 6ft T8 fluorescent tubes fitted into surface or recessed fluorescent fittings.
There were also large quantities of 600mm x 600mm fluorescent fittings using 4 x 18W T8 fluorescent tubes, in addition to 28W 2D surface fluorescent fittings. The existing 4 x 18W T8 tubes produced only 180 Lux, so the use of 45W Kosnic LED panels proved the ultimate solution with a new improved Lux level of 320 Lux. Staff and pupils have been very positive, noting how great the new lighting looks and that it's a brighter and happier environment to learn in.
The project now saves the school £30,022 a Year with a Payback under 5 Years.
