Beyond the Light Switch: How Smart Lighting Systems Save Money in Your Facility

Dec 8, 2025

Wasted Energy is Wasted Money

Every time a light is left on in an empty corridor, your commercial or healthcare facility is throwing money away.

If you manage a large premises in the London area, lighting is one of your biggest operating costs. Old switches are simply too inefficient.

The good news? The solution is smarter, and it can save you up to 60% on your energy bills.


Unlock Efficiency with KNX Smart Lighting Control

At GBB Electrical, we transform old lighting into intelligent, highly efficient systems using KNX Smart Lighting Control.

KNX is a global standard for building automation. It links your lights, heating, and security onto one smart network. This is essential for complex environments like hospitals and commercial offices in Buckinghamshire and the London area.

How Smart Lighting Cuts Costs & Boosts Performance:

Feature How It Works Your Biggest Benefit
📉 Daylight Harvesting Sensors dim the internal LED lighting when natural light is strong. Saves up to 50% in well-lit areas.
🚶 Occupancy Sensing Lights turn ON when someone enters, and OFF when the room is empty. Stops waste in stockrooms and meeting rooms.
⏱️ Time-Based Control Automated schedules turn off exterior and general lighting after hours. Reliable energy saving—no human error.

The Healthcare Advantage: More Than Just Savings

In hospitals, smart lighting offers critical benefits beyond the balance sheet:

  • Improved Patient Recovery: ‘Human-centric lighting’ (HCL) adjusts to support patient rhythms.

  • Enhanced Staff Alertness: Precise, high-quality lighting in critical areas (like theatres) reduces eye strain.

  • Seamless Integration: We link the lighting system with your Nurse Call Systems for flawless emergency coordination.
