Lighting Solutions for Schools & Colleges
At NVC Lighting, we recognise the critical role that lighting plays in education. Quality lighting is essential for fostering an environment where students can excel and educators can perform at their best. Proper lighting reduces eye strain, enhances concentration and improves the overall learning experience.

The Importance of Lighting in Education
Effective lighting goes beyond mere visibility; it creates an atmosphere conducive to learning and productivity. Inadequate lighting can cause fatigue, headaches and reduced productivity. Well-designed lighting enhances alertness, academic performance and helps reduce anti-social behaviour.

Our experience lighting schools, colleges and libraries
We have extensive experience in this sector. Click here for examples of just some of the projects we have delivered recently.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Even if your school or college already has LED lighting, upgrading to the latest technology can yield impressive savings.
Energy savings – the latest LED fittings can be up to 50% more efficient than earlier generations of LEDs.
Maintenance savings – early LEDs often offered short warranties. Our latest LED fittings are warranted for 7 years and are rated for 100,000 hours.
Upgrading now will lower your energy consumption and reduce future maintenance bills.

Emergency Lighting
This is mandatory in all schools. So too is the requirement to perform monthly functional tests and annual full discharge (3-hour) tests. However, testing is often overlooked, or only performed sporadically.
This not only places staff and pupils in danger – it also means that the “responsible person” is in breach of the law and at risk of prosecution.
We have a range of emergency lighting test solutions available. For schools, we usually suggest an addressable solution because it is the most cost effective, reliable and practical.

Lighting Solutions for All Areas In and Around a School

• Classrooms: Our low glare, high-efficiency lighting creates a bright and engaging learning environment, reducing eye strain and enhancing focus.
• Libraries and Study Areas: Task-specific lighting improves reading and research activities, fostering quiet zones conducive to concentration.
• Multi-purpose Halls: We can provide high-output, but highly controllable lighting here to accommodate everything from badminton and basketball to concerts and parents’ evenings.
• Corridors and Common Areas: Lighting in hallways and communal spaces often requires sensor based control (because these areas are typically unoccupied during lessons), but also needs to be robust enough to withstand accidental knocks from footballs and school bags.
• Laboratories and Workshops: Specialised lighting solutions provide precise, shadow-free illumination essential for detailed tasks and experiments.
