PLANNED LIGHTING MAINTENANCE FOR OFFICES

Bill Walker

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Many companies that now have no difficulty in accepting cleaning as a significant and legitimate cost centre in offices still would not consider lighting in the same context. Indeed, some property managers seem to believe that maintaining a lighting system entails no more than the replacement of lamps as they fail. What is required is programmed maintenance to inspect, clean and ‘group relamp’ the lighting fittings on a routine basis. Not only does this ensure that a proper return is made on the investment in the system, but that it produces what it was designed to produce.
