With our current economic climate, managers need to maintain good working capital flow, while simultaneously applying energy saving strategies through technology adoptions.
As testimony to their ongoing commitment to embracing and promoting environmentally friendly services and products, Highland Rental Finance is proud to offer Solid State Lighting International's LED lighting systems as a new rental product to the South African market.
Highland has replaced part of its CFL lighting fixtures with SSLI's new LED recessed lighting panels. Highland's green initiative started with Power Optimisa click here to read more, - and now, with SSLI, Highland continues to reduce its carbon footprint.
Mr Nic Muhl - Marketing Manager at Highland Rental Finance, comments: “The panel lights fitted effortlessly into the suspended panels of our offices and allowed for a quick retrofit. The lights create a good ambience in the room and are great to work under.”
Highland can expect significant energy savings of up to 50% and a life expectancy of around eight years per unit. The payback on each fitted unit is approximately 25 months and the total savings over the life of each LED panel is R10 000. With a five-year guarantee, savings will increase as maintenance costs will be negligible. LED technology is in principle similar to CPU technology that drives computer technology, and as a result of the reliability and longevity of LED lighting technology, Highland has select financial institutions willing to investigate rental options over 36 months to 48 months, in line with the technologies payback period.
SSLI has exclusive distribution rights for the UK, South Africa and Abu Dhabi and offers a range of high-quality, high-efficacy (lumens per watt output) LED products. These include panel lights, recessed luminaries, down lighters, MR16 spotlights and outdoor amenity lighting.
