This proposal turns your energy data into a live, transparent financial plan for a full-site LED upgrade - built to reflect how your school actually operates.
Why This Dashboard Matters
Every LED upgrade proposal should come with complete transparency - and a clear explanation of what’s being offered, how it performs, and what it’s worth over time. This interactive dashboard gives you exactly that: real figures based on conservative assumptions, premium fixtures selected for compliance and long-term performance, and calculations you can explore and verify yourself.
Use the scenario planner to test different assumptions. Adjust your energy rates, usage schedules, or operational patterns and see the real-time impact on your financial outcomes. This is how a properly engineered LED upgrade should be presented - practical, flexible, and fully accountable.
Every figure is well-founded. Every assumption is conservative. Every fixture is specified for quality, compliance and performance, not just price.
If you'd like to walk through any aspect together, our team is here to explain the detail behind every calculation and support your decision-making process.
Key Assumptions & Methodology
This proposal demonstrates how a strategically planned LED lighting upgrade can use your existing energy budget to fully fund both the new LED fittings and their installation, achieving complete budget neutrality whilst delivering substantial long-term benefits.
Conservative Estimates
Our calculations deliberately use conservative assumptions to ensure realistic projections. We've based classroom and office usage on just 5.5 days per week during term time, whilst residential areas reflect 7-day operation. No additional savings have been included for holiday periods when summer schools and other activities extend facility usage beyond standard term dates.
Asbestos Provision
A £12,000 contingency has been included to address the asbestos present in classroom blocks. This provision covers the additional safety measures required during installation. We'll arrange a survey free of charge to provide an accurate quotation for these necessary safety works.
Quality-First Approach
We've specified premium LED solutions that maximise whole-life value rather than simply minimising upfront costs. This approach ensures superior energy savings, extended fitting life (typically 80,000+ hours), and minimal maintenance requirements - delivering the strongest possible return on investment over the full lifecycle.

The Financial Case
Cash Flow Neutral or Better from Day One
Your projected energy savings are designed to match or exceed funding costs. By adjusting deposit levels and funding terms,
you can tailor the financial profile to suit your strategy - ensuring the upgrade delivers immediate value while modernising your estate.

LED Technology Benefits
Fixed Information
💡 Extended Lifespan
80,000+ operational hours compared to 10,000 hours for traditional lighting - that's over 25 years of typical school use. All fixtures come with a 5-year manufacturer warranty and a 1-year onsite installer warranty for complete peace of mind.
🎨 Superior Light Quality
CRI 80+ colour rendering ensures natural light appearance, reducing eye strain and improving learning environments.
⚡ Instant Performance
No warm-up time required. Full brightness immediately with no flickering or humming sounds.
🔧 Minimal Maintenance
Virtually maintenance-free for 10+ years, dramatically reducing replacement costs and disruption to classes. With fewer fixtures and only 11 standardised types (down from 19), future procurement and replacement becomes significantly simpler and more cost-effective.
Whole-of-Life Investment Approach
Quality Matters
Years of experience have taught us that the cheapest LED fitting is rarely the best value.
By investing marginally more in quality fixtures today - typically £10-15 per fitting -
you secure dramatically better returns over their operational lifetime.
Budget 30W Panel
- ✗ Higher energy consumption
- ✗ 50,000 hour lifespan
- ✗ Lower light quality
- ✗ Faster degradation
Premium 16W Panel
- ✓ 47% less energy consumption
- ✓ 80,000+ hour lifespan
- ✓ Superior light quality
- ✓ Minimal degradation
16W Panel Case Study
£98,280
Our 702 premium 16W panels alone deliver £140 extra savings per fitting over 10 years.
That's £98,280 in additional value from just these fittings. That equates to £265,356 over the expected lifetime of these lights.
Smart Control Strategy
Maximising Efficiency
Beyond the core LED upgrade, strategic deployment of occupancy sensors transforms your energy profile
by ensuring lights operate only when spaces are occupied. The hours shown in the calculations already
reflect these intelligent reductions:
This comprehensive approach also avoids future retrofit costs. Installing sensors later -
particularly in corridors and circulation areas - would require additional mobilisation costs
and cause more disruption. By addressing all control upgrades now, we maximise efficiency
whilst minimising long-term costs.
Funding Options
Self-Funding: If you choose to self-fund this project, payment terms are 40% on order and 60% on completion.
Finance Options: If you prefer to spread the cost, we offer flexible financing with up to 100% funding available. Choose your preferred deposit amount (if any) and use the Funding Assumptions calculator opposite to explore monthly costs and terms that work for your budget.
