Signify upgrades University of Cambridge's outdoor lighting

ECA Commercial Associate Signify has teamed up with the University of Cambridge’s Estates Division to illuminate the University’s West Cambridge site with energy-efficient outdoor LED lighting. 

With more than 300 new and upgraded lights, the project was delivered in six months – from initial discussions through to project completion – and is expected to generate significant cost savings on energy, annually (based on 2021 rates), which is all the more important against the backdrop of an ongoing energy crisis. In addition, the new LEDs require less maintenance time and will provide an improved night-time experience for the users of the site. 

Each of the new luminaires is equipped with a unique QR code connected to the Signify Service Tag application. Site managers can scan the QR code to access documentation and data, configure the luminaire directly at the installation site, and access the latest spare part information, including any new generation updates. The Service Tag application also supports asset management data, allowing organisations to document information to better manage lighting assets. 

“The team at Signify worked with us to help meet our goals – including energy savings and a reduction in carbon emissions,” said Adam Fjaerem, Building Energy Manager at the University of Cambridge. “Working with Signify was more like a partnership between two teams going after the same mission. We are looking forward to working with them on the next phase of the project.” 

“We’re very proud to have partnered with an institution as prestigious as the University of Cambridge. It is extremely rewarding to see the lighting overhaul at West Cambridge bringing the site together with beautiful light and coherent design. It’s fitting that the next generation of engineers will enjoy a learning environment that is so well-adapted for their needs,” commented Dervan Alleyne, Director Public & Sport Lighting Solutions UK at Signify.
