Project discovery
First, we get to know you and establish your objectives. We conduct an in-depth site survey to assess your current lighting system and pinpoint the issues.
Design and planning
We design and propose options for lighting systems that significantly increase efficiency and offer impressive returns on investment. We then build the new fittings to order at our UK factory.
Installation and commissioning
Our teams of qualified, experienced engineers install and then commission the new lighting system. We plan this process with you to minimise disruption and optimise effectiveness.
Handover and through-life support
The last step of the process is to train all relevant personnel to use the new lighting system. All our products are subject to a five-year warranty; support is only a phone call away.

From your first consultation with a Thorlux sales engineer, we will work hard to understand your organisation and what you want from your new lighting system.
You will receive expert advice, helping you refine your vision using our knowledge of innovative lighting technology.
Thorlux will then conduct a thorough on-site survey to establish a comprehensive picture of your current lighting provision and its limitations, enabling us to estimate the potential for improvement.
We then carefully analyse the information gathered from our discussions and survey before the next stage can begin.

Once we have assessed all relevant information, the award-winning Thorlux design team will develop a comprehensive new lighting concept for your project.
We select luminaires and controls based on each area’s usage and the required light levels defined in current standards. This new lighting plan will be presented to you.
Our dedicated energy team also provides a customised usage analysis, quantifying the costs of your current lights and providing an accurate return on investment (ROI) calculation for the new lighting system.
Once the plan is agreed upon and contracts signed, you will be assigned a dedicated Thorlux project manager, and we will get to work building the new luminaires in our UK facility. Making products to order keeps waste to a minimum, reducing embodied carbon.

When the luminaires are ready, the installation team gets to work.
All Thorlux engineers and trusted contractors are competent, experienced, and fully qualified. We will collaborate with you to schedule work, minimising disruption. Your project manager will be on-site during installation to oversee the team as your point of contact.
The Thorlux team will also remove your old lighting equipment. Some of the luminaires will be retained for the measurement and verification testing, while the rest will be recycled and disposed of responsibly.
Once we have completed the installation, our professional site services team conducts the on-site commissioning service for all SmartScan standard and emergency luminaires.

Energy saving and ROI services
Illuminate your savings potential.
Thorlux Lighting has a dedicated energy team, providing customised usage calculations. The team establishes your current lighting costs, how much carbon you generate, and how much you could save by adopting a controlled lighting system.
This estimation process also enables Thorlux to accurately calculate the return-on-investment period, after which your new lighting system will pay for itself. This process is so accurate that we will guarantee energy savings!
The report will highlight essential metrics so you can see where you are now and the real difference modernising your lights will make, including:
Estimated power consumption and costs of the current system
Power usage per annum – current system versus proposed Thorlux system in kWh
Cost savings per annum – versus your current expenditure as a monetary value and percentage
CO₂e reductions per annum – greenhouse gas generation avoided in kilograms
CO₂e remainder options – how many trees we can plant on your behalf to offset your remaining CO₂e generation*
ROI period – how long it will take to offset your investment and start to save. We base our calculations on current and anticipated tariff costs
* We will include recommendations for this in your quotation.

Intelligent lighting, intelligent savings.
Thorlux SmartScan is a revolutionary wireless lighting management system that monitors energy performance and operational information for connected standard and emergency luminaires. This information is displayed on the password-protected SmartScan website which is accessible on any internet-connected device, providing deeper insights to help manage your site.
Energy consumption measurements are accessible for an entire installation, individual rooms, or each luminaire. Data is displayed in kilowatt-hours (kWh), cost, and corresponding carbon values. Where the prior energy usage for lighting is known the system will also display a cumulative total of achieved savings. The online portal supplies a lighting overview of your entire site.
SmartScan is a feature-rich system that can provide intelligent lighting management, status monitoring, occupancy profiling, reports on air quality, and much more. With the expanded SmartScan Analytics system, there is even greater scope for efficiency and improved well-being.
Using the lighting network to carry other service or asset communications removes unnecessary duplication, and installing specialist sensors, data loggers and volt-free contacts onto other assets enables the capture of data for analytics. The system can monitor gas, water, electricity, air quality, carbon dioxide levels, and more.

Measurement and verification services
Quality testing, guaranteed performance.
Thorlux conducts in-house testing to compare the performance of our luminaires with your old lights.
When the installation phase is nearing completion Thorlux will invite you to see a measurement and verification (M&V) test, checking the performance of the fittings we removed during the installation phase with that of your new luminaires.
We conduct this test at our in-house, LIA (Lighting Industry Association)-certified laboratory. This way, we can accurately measure power consumption and verify cost savings and energy reductions.
Thorlux is so confident in the test accuracy and efficiency calculations that we will guarantee the value of your savings.
