De-lamping is the process of removing light tubes/bulbs in areas which are over-lit, underused or receive adequate natural light.

Why
This will reduce the amount of energy your business consumes from lighting, which will reduce running costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Best of all, you can do it yourself, and keep de-lamped tubes to use when other lamps blow. Remember, don’t dispose of removed tubes in regular recycling or landfill waste.

How
De-lamp fluorescent tubes by removing one tube from every bank of two in strategic areas throughout the office such as the passageways between desks.
