ICH Services delivered a strategic LED lighting upgrade for West Yorkshire Joint Services (WYJS), improving lighting quality, energy efficiency, and long‑term maintenance costs. Moreover, the project replaced outdated lighting infrastructure with modern LED solutions while ensuring minimal disruption to facility operations. In addition, the upgrade supports sustainability goals and reduces energy usage across the site.
Before the upgrade, the facility faced several key issues:
Outdated lighting systems, which resulted in poor light quality, inconsistent illumination, and high maintenance demands.
Excessive energy consumption, since old lighting fixtures ran inefficiently — contributing to elevated electricity costs and unnecessary environmental impact.
Frequent maintenance and replacement needs, as aging lights and ballasts failed often and created reliability risks.
Compliance and safety concerns, because older lighting often lacked adequate control and safety standards for modern workplace requirements.
Disruption risk during retrofit, as the facility needed continuous operation, so the upgrade had to be carefully scheduled to avoid interrupting services.
ICH Services implemented a comprehensive LED lighting upgrade plan, executed in phases to balance effectiveness with operational continuity:
Full replacement of existing fixtures: All old lighting units were removed and replaced with high‑efficiency LED luminaires, ensuring improved brightness and uniform illumination.
Installation of energy‑efficient lighting controls: Including sensors/timers/dimmers to optimise power usage and reduce waste. As a result, the system now adjusts lighting based on occupancy and daylight, lowering electricity consumption.
Upgraded wiring and electrical components where needed: Ensuring the new LED system met modern safety and compliance standards, and enhancing overall electrical reliability.
Phased scheduling and coordination: Works were carefully planned and carried out in segments to avoid facility downtime. Meanwhile, signage and safety procedures were implemented to maintain safe working conditions during installation.
System commissioning and testing on completion: Ensuring each lighting zone performed correctly, and verification of energy savings and illumination levels before handover.
The LED upgrade delivered clear, measurable benefits for West Yorkshire Joint Services:
Significantly reduced energy use and utility costs, efficient LED technology and smart lighting control systems.
Improved lighting quality and consistency, enhancing visibility, comfort, and safety across the facility.
Lower maintenance requirements and longer lifespan, reducing downtime and long‑term operational costs.
Enhanced compliance with current lighting/safety standards, providing a safer working and public environment.
Minimal disruption during works, because of phased scheduling and careful planning — facility operations continued throughout the upgrade.
Support for sustainability and carbon‑reduction targets, by lowering energy consumption and promoting efficient infrastructure.
