Product
Energy‑efficient LED luminaires
FW Thorpe supplies high‑performance LED luminaires tailored to industrial, commercial, education, healthcare and infrastructure settings. Designs prioritize efficacy (up to 160 lm/W), longevity (service lives to 100,000 hours) and low maintenance, delivering energy savings up to 60% versus legacy lighting and cutting lifecycle costs. Robust construction and precision optics ensure consistent illuminance and compliance with EN 12464 and EN 60598. Portfolio breadth lets specifiers match applications without compromise.
Emergency & compliance lighting
FW Thorpe supplies integrated and standalone emergency lighting solutions designed to meet BS 5266 and other safety codes, offering self‑test and addressable systems that simplify compliance and reporting. Units use reliable sealed batteries with standard 3‑hour autonomy and LEDs rated >50,000 hours to maximize uptime. Durable housings suit complex sites such as hospitals, schools and transport hubs.
Smart controls & IoT readiness
Connected controls enable presence/daylight sensing, scheduling and energy analytics that can cut lighting energy use by up to 60% and deliver 2–4 year paybacks; open protocols such as BACnet and Modbus plus scalable architectures support BMS integration across thousands of nodes; wireless and wired options suit retrofit or new build, with wireless installs reducing labour costs ~20–30%; data insights drive energy, maintenance and ESG targets for buildings that account for ~40% of global energy use.
Customisation & project engineering
In-house design and manufacturing enable FW Thorpe to deliver bespoke optics, form factors and finishes, with project teams co-creating specifications alongside consultants and contractors to ensure compliance and performance. Rapid prototyping accelerates approvals and on-site mock-ups, while tailored solutions meet unique aesthetic, performance and regulatory requirements.
