SMART controls
The Project
Raytheon’s previous lighting provider had gone into administration, leaving them with a system that was costing them a fortune in energy bills. Raytheon contacted EGG Lighting to help them implement a new lighting control system that could reduce their running costs and help them regain control of their lights.
The Solution
EGG Lighting migrated the existing lighting system and installed a secure lighting control system for Raytheon.
Our in-house R&D team designed a Raspberry Pi touchscreen control interface giving Raytheon’s team complete control over their lights securely, and offline. We split the lights into light zones and DALI-linked these with our Bluetooth Multitool, utilising Bluetooth mesh technology to regain the functionality of Raytheon’s lights. This system enables Raytheon to modify their light levels as their needs change. They can easily schedule on, off, and dim periods based on occupancy levels to specific days and times.
Kinetic switches were also installed to future-proof the lighting system. The kinetic switches use energy harvesting and do not require wiring or external power, which is a huge bonus for their energy-saving goals. Live energy monitoring is provided through the Raspberry Pi allowing Raytheon to access their energy consumption levels in real-time.
The Results
Monetary savings: £48,000+ projected savings in energy bills per year
Energy savings: 167,981 kWh power savings per year
Allan Ramsay
Facilities Manager at Raytheon
The system EGG came up with is easy to use. The ability to tailor light levels to our needs at any given time is so useful and the touchscreen is easy to control.
Our main goal for our Livingston site is sustainability, and we wanted a light system that would echo this. EGG Lighting gave us a lighting system that is sustainable beyond what we could have imagined – we now want this to be an example for the rest of our UK sites.

Upgrade to LED
The Project
Rautomead, a leading manufacturing company, approached EGG Lighting with the goal of upgrading over 300 fluorescent lights across their facilities. The project aimed to improve sustainability, reduce energy consumption and improve safety with upgraded emergency lighting. The EGG Lighting team carried out a free site survey to assess the facility’s existing lighting system, and identified a full system upgrade as the best option.
The Solution
EGG Lighting provided a bespoke lighting solution comprising a range of luminaires that were carefully selected to suit the specific lighting needs of each area within Rautomead’s facilities, including offices, workshops, corridors, and bathrooms. This included high IP rated Highbays and dust and moisture proof Tri-poof lights.
The new lighting system was designed in compliance with CIBSE’s recommended lighting levels for a safe working environment. All new LED lights came with a 5-year warranty, and can be upgraded to include lighting controls and sensors at any point, creating a system that is built to last.
The Results
Monetary savings: £12,722 projected savings in electricity and maintenance costs per year
Carbon reduction: 1,690kgCo2 saved over 10 years
Return on Investment: 3.28 years
Brian Frame
Managing Director at Rautomead
When we partnered with EGG Lighting, we knew we were working with a company we could trust. Their knowledge of lighting controls and sustainability helped us upgrade our lighting to a new level – transforming our space from yellow and dark, to bright and safe. We are so happy with the results that we are eager to work with EGG Lighting again to deliver the same amazing results at our second site.

Maintain aesthetic
Cost savings
The Project
EGG Lighting were asked by FES FM Limited on behalf of Aberdeenshire Council, to restore 10 generation one LED bulkheads and 26 emergency LED lights (EML) to their ‘as new’ operating standard in two Scottish care homes.
The Solution
We identified remanufacture as the most practical method to quickly restore the failed LEDs to a working condition. We upgraded the existing lights to a better than new standard using a mixture of the original and replacement components.
Remanufacturing instead of replacing provided a cost saving of 40% per light fitting in comparison to buying new. The client decided to reinvest their cost savings back into the functionality of the luminaire. We installed a microwave sensor in each luminaire which produced a smooth dimming corridor function instead of a harsh on/off contrast.
The modular design of the remanufactured lights will provide the clients with an easy to maintain system that can be upgraded on reactive basis and easily installed by their own maintenance team.
The Results
Monetary savings: £4,458 saved in purchasing costs compared to buying equivalent new products.
Carbon Reduction: 1,098 kgCO2e savings in total.
Energy performance: 20% more energy efficient than original luminaire.
Alastair Stewart
Principal Electrical Engineer at Aberdeenshire Council
When our lights started to fail EGG Lighting gave us a solution that meant we were able to maintain original aesthetic, reduce energy consumption, keep our costs low and within budget, and improve our embodied carbon footprint. By remanufacturing the lights we were able to upgrade our fixtures on a reactive maintenance schedule without the high costs of a full replacement light.

Remanufacture
The Project
Edinburgh Leisure approached us for a free site survey and quote for a new lighting system that would decrease their annual electricity costs.
The Solution
During the lighting survey, we identified that Edinburgh Leisure’s existing lights were good candidates for luminaire remanufacture. We carried out a full TM65 report and cost savings report which showed that the remanufacture of the 40 luminaires would cost 40% less than equivalent new products with an equivalent warranty.
The remanufacturing process involved taking the fittings and stripping them back to their components. We then rebuilt the light to an as-new standard and upgraded it to match the latest LEDs. All newly remanufactured lights were UKCA tested and certified. Installation of the new lights were carried out by EGG’s inhouse NICEIC certified electrical team over the course of 3 nights during non-operating hours, resulting in no downtime and zero inconvenience to the public.
The Results
Monetary savings: £15,000 in electricity savings per year
Carbon Reduction: >20 tonnes Co2e per year

We were delighted that EGG lighting was approved on to our lighting framework as their sustainability credentials are unmatched in the local industry. For the first time we had fittings from one venue stripped back and rebuilt with LED and installed in another. These fittings are also modular so we can just replace parts when needed rather than the whole unit in the future. This saves an enormous amount of carbon – no need to manufacture virgin plastic, ship heavy components across the globe or dispose of casings in landfill. The new lighting will last around 10 years and across the three venues, should save us £15k in electricity a year and reduce our annual carbon footprint by over 20 tonnes CO2e, all while vastly improving our customers’ experience.

Remanufacture
The Project
The team at Holiday Inn Theatrelands identified the need to improve the building’s eco-friendliness, and to modernise their facilities lighting in line with their customers expectations. Within their phased refurbishment plan, upgrading their fluorescent luminaires to LED was a key issue to address.
The Solution
It can be challenging to find the perfect retrofit for existing facilities lighting. So, we built it.
As commercial lighting manufacturers we supplied and installed our own ‘Carluke’ bulkhead luminaires for this project. Then, we optimised their lighting usage with microwave sensors to further increase their savings. When nobody is present, the staircase bulkheads dim to 10% of the total light output, minimising wastage.
All schedule was built around the client. We launched the commercial lighting upgrade in phases to fit with their refurbishment plan, giving priority to the most critical areas.

John Gannon
Maintenance Manager at Holiday Inn Express
Since [the first project] we have come back to work with EGG lighting twice more, and have always received a friendly and professional service. They have been very prepared to tailor the contract to what we need at the time; providing their own installers or supplying the lighting directly to us. We have seen a notable drop in our energy bills, and the finished installation adds to the modern and eco-aware image our customers associate with Holiday Inn.

The Project
The existing lighting at Garioch Sports Centre was not in line with Scottish Highland Football League standards. This meant the facility could not host regional tournaments. EGG’s objective was to change that, by making the lighting compliant.
The Solution
The Garioch centre received funding under the Scottish Government Climate Challenge Fund. To meet all standards, we carried out a full lighting design, supply and install solution. High, quality, uniform light over the field was the priority. This was achieved through adjusting the beam angle on the luminaires. A timer was installed to alleviate effects of excessive inrush current with these high power LEDs.
As a functioning sports centre, the pitch was kept open while the work was carried out. Our team of NICEIC certified electricians were able to complete all onsite work in under one week.
The Results
Lifetime CO2 savings equivalent: 58 cars
Carbon Reduction: 27.6 tonnes per year
Lifetime Savings (projected): >£100,000
Reduction in running cost: £8,000 per year
Eligibility for regional tournaments: Achieved

The Project
West Dunbartonshire Leisure came to us for a lighting consultation and advice of what technology they could incorporate into their lighting system. They were looking for an updated solution that would provide a legacy of energy savings for years to come.
The Solution
Some key considerations included high ingress protection ratings for their Vale of Leven swimming pool and changing facilities and ensuring minimal glare in their gym facilities. We identified a selection of bulkheads, spotlights, and panels that had almost three times the lifespan of their old fluorescent lights. We installed 110 30W LED lights to replace 120W fluorescent bulkheads.
The Results
Carbon Reduction: 22.12 tonnes per year
Lifetime Savings (Projected): £78,553
Return on Investment: 1.14 years
