LED Lighting for a brighter future!

Megaman Catalogue 2015 Megaman have launched their new product catalogue for 2015. With 20 years of experience in the industry, Megaman low energy lighting continues to lead the field in product design and performance. The product range has moved almost fully to LED and away from CFL as new technologies supersede old. Megaman have also launched a brand new range of stylish fixtures, including integrated LED fittings, recessed downlights, track fittings, battens and LED panels – for applications such as retail, hotels, restaurants, homes and offices. The extensive range of interior and exterior light fittings are designed around LED lighting, promoting energy efficiency and delivering high performance lighting effects in commercial and residential applications. Megaman are also proud to announce the introduction of some new innovative technologies, including: Dim to Warm – a comprehensive range of lamps that smoothly dim down from 2800K to 1800K, simulating the characteri

Visitors to London's King's Cross station used to arrive at a drab 1970s extension that hid the Victorian façade. The extension was knocked down in 2012 as part of a major redevelopment of the station, freeing up space for a new public square. Now the space in front of the façade can be enjoyed again, by day and night, with the help of an all-LED lighting scheme. Working throughout the project’s design and construction phases with architect Stanton Williams and stakeholders including Network Rail, London Underground, English Heritage and local authorities, the lighting design practice was tasked with creating a subtle but characterful space for an anticipated 140,000 users a day. To balance functional and accent lighting, StudioFractal integrated its systems into surrounding buildings. As a result, the furniture and structural elements of the space are prominently defined at night and, in line with the project brief, ambient lighting from stainless steel columns make

Virgin Trains: LED lighting at stations is as much about customer satisfaction as it is about energy The LED Express:  Virgin Trains East Coast will have soon upgraded the platform and concourse lighting at nine stations. As for the trains themselves, watch for new LED lighting in 2018, when a faster fleet from Hitachi (mock-up pictured) starts riding the rails. 'I can see clearly now the LEDs have come.'   With apologies to song writer Johnny Nash and singer Jimmy Cliff, that is the tune that passengers on Virgin Trains' new East Coast franchise are starting to sing now that a £1.5 million platform and concourse lighting overhaul is well under way with energy efficient LEDs. Picking up where the line's previous owner left off, Virgin is ripping out the old lighting at nine stations that it manages from as far north as Berwick-upon-Tweed on the Scottish border down to Peterborough, and is also upgrading the lighting at its maintenance depot at London's

Getting that graphene glow:  Graphene Nobel Laureate Sir Kostya Novoselov (l) and UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne light up with one of the graphene LED lamps at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute. LUX Reports: For LED bulbs, not only are prices coming down, but also the bulbs themselves keep getting better. The latest example: in a few months you'll be able to purchase a light bulb made with everybody's favourite miracle material, graphene. The bulb, from a UK startup called Graphene Lighting, 'Is expected to perform significantly better and last longer than traditional LED bulbs,' a press release from the UK's  The University of Manchester  states (it must be a sign of progress if we can now refer to 'traditional' LED bulbs!). 'It is expected that the graphene lightbulbs will be on the shelves in a matter of months, at a competitive cost.' That's a lot of great expectations from the universit
