Getting to grips with energy saving has been simple for HOPPE (UK) Ltd, the leading manufacturer of door and window handles, thanks to Venture Lighting Europe.   

A simple conversion of the existing 250W lamps to Venture’s 200W Uniform™ Pulse Start lamps and control gear, has resulted in the company achieving savings of approx £5,000 per year.

With the 250W high pressure sodium (SON) lamps in need of an upgrade, electrical wholesaler Lockwells were asked to provide HOPPE with a solution that would improve the light output whilst saving money on operating costs. Venture’s 200W conversion kits met all of the criteria and became the preferred choice for the project.  The kit, which includes the lamp, ignitor, ballast and capacitor, provided a quick and easy conversion without any downtime or disruption to Hoppe’s busy manufacturing area.

Offering superior performance, Venture’s Pulse Start Lamps provide good colour uniformity, a clear white light, and excellent visibility.  By changing to the lower wattage Pulse Start lamp, Hoppe’s running costs were significantly reduced with no compromise in illumination levels.

“The conversion went very smoothly” stated HOPPE’s David Lane “we have a much lighter/brighter working area which has lifted the mood of everyone on the shop floor and made a much better working environment”.
