Energy efficient lighting company LEDinlight is continuing to shine brightly a year after moving into the ultra green No.1 Nottingham Science Park, with sparks flying on a number of eco-friendly projects including a new product launch.

The company, which was one of the first to take space in the award-winning building, has just launched a single-ended LED tube to replace fluorescent tubes. It fits directly into a standard fluorescent light fitting without the need to do any rewiring. 

Eva Ottoson, managing director of LEDinlight, said: "It is really important to provide products that are not only cost-effective to run but also environmentally safe. 

"Previously, we did not provide LED fluorescent tubes as the available products contained components that are harmful and not safe, but we have now developed a product that can be disposed of safely and meet EU regulations."

The firm has been working on a number of other projects. It has won a new contract with Nottingham City Transport (NCT) to provide LED-ceiling panels that dramatically cut energy consumption. They are currently being used in NCT offices. 

The company is also working with clients nationwide including a housing association in London and office developers in Manchester and Nottingham.

Eva said: "The company has gone through a big reformation since the beginning of the year, and it's extremely exciting to be working on these new ventures."

The firm has come a long way since its formation in 2008. It now plans to expand further by working in partnership with organisations such as the University of Nottingham and the Technical Strategy Board.

It aims to continue to develop eco-friendly light technology and is working on a European transnational project to develop ways of recycling LED lights. The project will continue over the next three years.
