INTRODUCTION

Making it easier for you to understand,

specify, install and maintain good

quality, energy efficient lighting

Sustainability

From producing fully recyclable

products to calculating the carbon

footprint of our products, reducing

packaging to reducing journeys,

using recycled material to avoiding

toxic substances, sustainability is at

the heart of what we do.

Optical Control

An important contributor to energy

saving and efficiency, providing light

where and when it is needed. Think

Orus, Clan and Menlo

.

Lighting Control

One of our key specialist areas,

including outdoor photocells, traffic

detection, indoor daylight linking,

dimming and presence/absence

detection.

A new service launched in

2011 that’s dedicated to auditing,

designing, supplying, installing and

maintaining energy efficient lighting

systems as a full turnkey package

The Thorn Energy Partnership (TEP)

is a worldwide venture between

Thorn and lighting professionals. The

overriding aim is to promote energy

Gives you the payback period and

ROI figure by calculating lamp burning

hours, energy costs, maintenance costs

and energy savings.

CalcExpress is an online tool that

allows you to approximately calculate

the number of luminaires required for

square rooms. It allows simple regular

arrays of luminaires. The calculation is

based on room size, mounting height

and the height of the working plane

as well as on the illuminance level

required on the working surface.

Migration

Identifying and moving away

from inefficient lighting.

Light source:

Changing discharge lamps for

fluorescents, and fluorescents for

LEDs, while ensuring the correct

lamp for the environment.

Control gear:

Using control gear which is high

frequency and compatible with

regular switching to reduce and
