Doubletree by Hilton Edinburgh Airport is a popular hotel catering to both business and leisure travellers. With its strategic location and commitment to providing exceptional guest experiences, the hotel aims to maintain high standards while also prioritising sustainability and cost efficiency. So when they wanted to upgrade their hotels lighting to energy efficient LED lighting fixtures, they turned to our electrical services to complete the job.

Brief Project Description: In line with their commitment to sustainability and cost-effectiveness, Doubletree Edinburgh Airport sought to upgrade their lighting systems to energy-efficient LED technology. The existing lighting infrastructure, encompassing corridors, stairwells, staff areas, stores, and the car park, needed a comprehensive overhaul to reduce electricity consumption and enhance lighting quality.

As a leading electrical contractor in the UK, we have been providing LED Lighting Upgrades for businesses big and small for a very long time and on this particular project, we conducted a thorough assessment of the existing lighting systems, analysing energy consumption patterns and lighting requirements across different areas of the hotel.

Based on the assessment findings, we proposed an LED lighting solution that addressed the specific needs of Doubletree Edinburgh Airport. The solution aimed to optimise energy efficiency, minimise maintenance requirements, and enhance lighting quality to improve the overall guest experience.

Our electricians executed the installation process with the same precision and efficiency that we have built our name on, ensuring to minimise disruption to hotel operations. The installation covered corridors, stairwells, staff areas, stores, and the car park, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the designated areas.

Upon completion of the installation, we conducted rigorous testing and calibration to ensure optimal performance and adherence to quality standards. Working closely with the hotel management, we calculated the anticipated energy savings resulting from the LED lighting upgrade. The projected savings were based on reduced electricity consumption and decreased maintenance costs over the lifespan of the LED fixtures.

The Benefits of LED Lighting Upgrades

The LED lighting upgrade implemented by our electricians at Doubletree Edinburgh Airport yielded a range of benefits including:

• Significant Energy Savings: By transitioning to LED technology, the hotel achieved substantial reductions in electricity consumption, leading to lower utility bills and enhanced operational efficiency.
• Improved Lighting Quality: The upgraded LED lighting systems provides superior illumination levels, enhancing visibility and safety in corridors, stairwells, staff areas, stores, and the car park. Guests and staff alike benefit from a more comfortable and well-lit environment.
• Long-Term Cost Savings: With their extended lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements, LED fixtures offered long-term cost savings for Doubletree Edinburgh Airport. Reduced maintenance expenses and fewer replacements contribute to overall cost-effectiveness.
• Environmental Impact: The LED lighting upgrade aligns with Doubletree Edinburgh Airport’s commitment to sustainability, reducing the hotel’s carbon footprint and contributing to environmental conservation efforts.

Project Challenges: The main challenge with this project was completing the LED Lighting Upgrade work around the hotels day to day business requirements.  We had to ensure that our work did not interfere with hotel guests stays, hotel events and other day to day operations. As experts in working in ‘live environments’ we were able to overcome these challenges and complete a successful electrical lighting upgrade for the client.

The LED lighting upgrade not only enhances the guest experience but also demonstrates the hotel’s commitment to responsible business practices and environmental stewardship.

LED Lighting Upgrade Services

Upgrading your businesses old fluorescent or halogen lighting to LED Lighting technology can offer REAL costs savings on your yearly energy bills whilst offering lower maintenance costs and a more inviting working environment that is also eco friendly.

Older lighting solutions that use high wattage bulbs can be replaced with similar or identical LED lighting fixtures that provide the same light output but for a fraction of the energy watts. In fact, a typical 50W halogen bulb can be replaced by a 5W LED light yet achieves the exact same lighting output.  Energy savings of 65% or more can be achieved simply by switching from old fluorescent lighting in your office or retail space.  And this saving can be further enhanced with additional lighting features such as occupancy motion sensors.
