Businesses in Glasgow are being offered £150,000 worth of top quality lighting stripped out from a speculative London office.
The transfer is being organised by circular lighting pioneer Egg Lighting and includes 1,500 metres of remanufactured linear LED lighting salvaged from a Cat A fit-out where they have been barely used.
The high-end luminaires feature extruded aluminium housings, low-glare diffusers and Philips Fortimo LED strips.
The equipment, currently in storage, is says Egg Marketing executive Andrew Reilly, ‘enough to light dozens of Glasgow offices’.
‘So instead of letting them gather dust, or worse, end up as waste, we’re offering them to Glasgow businesses. Free.’
Firms wishing to acquire the lights will them at no cost but will have to cover installation and any electrical testing required.
They will get full specifications, LDT files and embodied carbon data. If they want add sensors, Bluetooth controls, or wireless systems, Egg Lighting can facilitate these.
‘This isn’t charity — it’s how the circular economy should work,’ says Reilly. ‘Good products stay in use. Businesses reduce waste. Scotland moves closer to its sustainability goals.
‘I’ve been with EGG Lighting for nearly a year now, and I can tell you, I’ve learned more about the circular economy in practice than I did in all my other years combined.’
He is now asking the industry to help find Glasgow locations for the lights.
‘The circular economy only works when we all participate’.
Egg Lighting has won prestigious Build Back Better Green and Gold awards for its remanufacturing service. It’s a diligent process guided by the British Standard for remanufacture and is conducted in-line with UK lighting industry and legal requirements. Its approach joins together waste management, engineering, documentation, testing and manufacture to maximise the value of otherwise waste lighting equipment.
And importantly, it gives the business the confidence to offer as-new warranties.
