The Importance of Lumen Efficiency

When you hear “lumen efficiency,” it might not sound like the most exciting topic—until you realise it’s the secret behind brighter spaces, lower energy bills, and eco-friendly living. At Lighting of London, we’ve turned this principle into an art form, crafting lighting solutions that don’t just illuminate your world but also align with sustainability and compliance.
Our commitment to efficiency is not just about numbers; it’s about creating lighting that enhances spaces while supporting a greener future. Here’s how we ensure our products meet the UK’s Building Regulations for conservation of fuel and power—and why it matters to you.

What is Lumen Efficiency?

In simple terms, lumen efficiency is the measure of how well a light source converts electrical power (watts) into visible light (lumens). Think of it as the “miles per gallon” for light fittings. The higher the lumens per circuit watt, the more efficient the lighting.

At Lighting of London, all of our products boast a minimum of 75 lumens per circuit watt, meeting and often exceeding the baseline requirements set by the UK government. This means every watt of energy used delivers more light—reducing waste and lowering energy costs.

Why Does Compliance Matter?

The UK’s Building Regulations focus on reducing energy consumption in homes and commercial properties, a critical step toward combating climate change. Part L of these regulations mandates energy efficiency in lighting to conserve fuel and power.

By ensuring our products comply, we help property owners meet legal requirements while contributing to a broader environmental mission. Choosing Lighting of London means:

    1. Guaranteed Compliance: You don’t have to worry about failing inspections or retrofitting non-compliant lighting.
    2. Energy Savings: Efficient lighting reduces your electricity bills without sacrificing brightness.
    3. Eco-Friendly Living: Lower energy use means fewer carbon emissions, a win for the planet.

At Lighting of London, we believe that lighting should do more than illuminate—it should inspire. By committing to lumen efficiency and exceeding regulatory requirements, we’re lighting the way toward a brighter, greener future.
