UK: LIGHTSWITCH AIMS TO BOOST ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Article Abstract:

A new programme called Lightswitch devised by the Energy Saving Trust and the Lighting Industry Federation hopes to boost energy efficiency lighting in the industrial sector. It will aim to boost the uptake of high-frequency fluorescent fittings from 14% to 50% of new sales and aims to cut the share held by old T12 tubes of the tubular fluorescent market from 25% to 10% and finally to increase sales of light controls 100% from GB[pound] 10mn to GB[pound] 20mn annually. If these aims are met, a 30% reduction in energy used in the commercial sector for lighting could be achieved.

UK: MAIN DRIVERS IN TEST EQUIPMENT MARKET

Article Abstract:

Rather than national regulations and European harmonisation, employers' concerns about accident liability and insurance companies will be the two main factors propelling the growth of the test and measurement sector in the short term. This is the view of Rod Taylor, managing director of Seaward who feels that test equipment is becoming a commodity business.
