Return on Investment Case Study…
Best Western Derby Station
Best Western Derby Station Hotel is a part of the Sure Hotel collection, a series of hotels that promise comfort, value and quality. This modern hotel is next to Derby railway station, making it a popular venue for business and leisure stays. Simplicity is at the heart of this hotel’s design, something that we gave considerable thought to throughout our project. This project incorporated lighting upgrades to guest areas as well as areas solely used by hotel employees. From its inception to completion, this project was completed efficiently. After our initial site visit, we returned the return-on-investment survey very speedily which contributed to the overall efficiency with which the project was completed. The success of this project was palpable in our follow-up call with Best Western Derby Station, with our client expressing to us their happiness with the results of the project.

Bedrooms
Our clients at Best Western Derby Station requested lighting upgrades in various areas of their hotel therefore we focused on areas across the hotel including the reception area, restaurant and back of house areas like storerooms, corridors and offices. A primary concern was the replacement of the lighting in the 88 bedrooms across the hotel. The bedrooms required four different types of lighting in each room that needed upgrading. We upgraded 16W 2D fittings to the 8W Ansell Disco LED Downlight, chosen for its slim design and appearance. We switched the 2 Pin compact fluorescent wall lights with the Philips Corepro LED 6 W PLC lamp, a perfect choice to add layers of warmth to bedroom settings. We also changed the 4ft and 5ft T8 single battens for LED Vance Linear fittings. It is essential to get bedroom illumination right and add depth and warmth to hotel bedrooms through lighting.
The Products
Upgrading to LED in these areas which are required to be powered on 24 hours, increases the savings exponentially. In these areas we ensured that durable lighting was provided, alongside emergency functionality to meet the safety requirements of the hotel areas. We upgraded the 2D 16W emergency fittings with the 16W Ansell Disco LED Fitting with integrated emergency. We also switched 50W Son T circular downlights with the 18W Philips True Force LED HPL lamp as well as swapping 250W Son T Floodlights with LedVance LED 80W Floodlight. The huge reduction in wattages on these lamps will save the hotel a great deal of money on electricity costs.
The Bottom Line…
Small Changes, Big Impact
Our project with Best Western Derby Station Hotel focused on enhancing guest comfort and operational efficiency. With the hotel’s commitment to simplicity, we meticulously upgraded lighting across guest and employee areas. Making these upgrades to LED energy efficient technology and incorporating emergency features where necessary, we ensured both safety and savings. This has resulted in substantial energy savings equating to great cost savings and quick return on investment.
This case study demonstrates our commitment to creating cost-effective solutions for our clients whilst providing an enhanced lighting experience for guests and staff alike.
