We're once again pleased to be exhibiting at the ILP's annual Lightscene event! Lightscene 2019 will be hosted at Uttoxeter Racecouse on the 17th of October.

This year's event is a particularly exciting one, as the key themes will cover the role of the local authority lighting engineer, a subject which is very close to our hearts here at CRT following the 2019 National Lighting Survey. For a full list of event themes and CPD topics, please visit the Institution of Lighting Professionals website here.

We'll be bringing fully accessible models of our lanterns with us for you to examine and handle, including our SLX range and the Kingswood Range of heritage housings. If you're not able to make it to Lightscene this year but would still like to have a conversation with one of our engineers or to handle our luminaires, please get in touch.

The Carbon Reduction Technology team will be available throughout the event on stand 20.

We are pleased to announce the official publication of the National Lighting Survey Report. Download your copy here.

The study was a collaborative effort between the Institution of Lighting Professionals and Carbon Reduction Technology, covering publicly controlled UK street lights. The study probes into the progress and potential in LED conversion, plus topical trends such as retrofitting, dimming and part-night regimes, and employment for lighting engineers within local government.

Carbon Reduction Technology will be presenting on the results in a Paper at the annual Professional Lighting Summit (Wednesday 12th June, 2.30pm) and co-chairing a discussion workshop on Thursday 13th June (2.00pm).

As you may know, we recently released a new range of ornamental lanterns: The Kingswood Range. The line features a range of popular models which can be used to fill gaps in retrofit projects (where a minority of assets don't meet retrofitting standards) or installed as part of a full replacement project. 

​We'll be bringing working samples of some of our favourite models to the show for you to handle. We know lighting specialists and engineers like to get hands-on with products so every lantern will be fully accessible for external and internal inspection!

Manning the stand this year we have Sales Director Alan Robson and Sales & Engineering Manager Steve Allaway. Our team will also be attending the event dinner on Tuesday 12th. Talk to us about:

• Current or new orders
• The RFX2 streetlight and heritage retrofit gear tray
• The SLX line: SLX2, SLX3 and the new SLX-Mini
• The new Kingswood Range of ornamental lanterns 
• Our recent acquisition of the Waveguide light-injection product line

Feel free to drop by Stand 1 at any time during the event or we can also book you in for a personal appointment during or after the event. To arrange a personal appointment, please contact us at info@carbonreductiontechnology.com.

We look forward to seeing you in Newcastle on the 12th and 13th of June!

Carbon Reduction Technology (CRT) is pleased to announce our acquisition of the Waveguide product range, following the voluntary liquidation of Birmingham-based Waveguide Lighting Ltd.
​
The LED-based lighting solution incorporates patented Waveguide light injection technology which uses the total internal reflection (TIR) principle. A single LED is used to illuminate an optically clear light chamber. A reflector is printed along the length of the chamber, causing light to disperse evenly along its length thus avoiding the glare associated with most LED lighting solutions. As there are no secondary optics or diffusers, energy saving is maximised.

William Robson, managing director of CRT, comments: "We have resold Waveguide products for some years as a solution for low bay and office installations. While the excellent energy efficiency of the Waveguide technology is important, it is the quality of the light output which is outstanding. The anti-glare quality of the technology is essential for lower situated luminaires.

“The new product range fits nicely into the Carbon Reduction Technology smart lighting strategy, complimenting the existing product range of commercial and street lighting systems.”

​All enquiries should be directed to info@carbonreductiontechnology.com or speak to a CRT engineer on 01422 833 578.

Carbon Reduction Technology is excited to announce the launch of our new line of heritage lanterns: the Kingswood Range.

The new product line features a selection of heritage and ornamental lanterns, including several of the most popular models supplied by public sector favourite Kingswood Lighting in the 1980s and 90s, manufactured by leading French company GHM. All lanterns in the range are fitted with our highly efficient RFX2 gear tray and are available from 2,200°K, presenting an ultra warm look and feel.

"Presentation is fundamental on heritage and ornamental lighting projects," comments CRT director Alan Robson. "Reproduction lanterns add drama and beauty to a scene in a way contemporary style luminaires just cannot match."

The models in the Kingswood Range are available for full replacement projects or as a partial replacement option for lanterns not meeting retrofitting criteria.

Please visit our reproduction heritage lighting page for more information or contact us at info@carbonreductiontechnology.com / 01422 833 578 to speak directly to a CRT lighting engineer.

Take a look at our latest exciting photography expedition to Renault Trucks South in Reading. The facility recently had a full lighting refit, including high bay, low bay, office and foyer lighting plus a fully integrated smart control and monitoring system.

Re-certifying retrofitted lanterns for a new CE mark is a hot industry topic at the moment. You can learn more about the practicalities, implications and legislation behind re-certification in a six page feature in the Lighting Journal's latest issue:

We are delighted to announce that we will, once again, be attending this year's Institution of Lighting Professionals Summit.

The 2019 event will be hosted in sunny Newcastle at the Life Science Centre, from the 12th to 13th of June.  We are expecting this to be an exciting show as it will coincide with the publication of the National Street Lighting Survey Report (which will also be covered in June's edition of the Lighting Journal) and we will also be promoting some very exciting company news.
