LED Lighting Upgrades at the NSBRC

We’ve been busy installing the final phase of LED hi-bay lights into the main arena at the NSBRC. Our 67,000ft2 building is lit by 138 hi-bay lights and, in phases, we’ve been practicing what we preach by converting to energy-efficient LEDs – with the final 60 lamps being installed this week.

This final phase represents another five figure investment into our unique visitor centre as we continue to improve the experience for our visitors, exhibitors and staff. We estimate that we should see a financial pay-back for this latest wave of lights in about two years – and not only will it save us money in the long-run - it will reduce our overall energy consumption and has created a brighter, more welcoming, atmosphere in our huge show room.

The next zones we’re focusing on will be our large reception area and our popular ‘Build It’ Theatre, with these areas being fully converted to LED by the end of the year.

Planning to Self-Build or Renovate? 5 Top Tips Before You Start | With Georgina Burnett (AKA The Home Genie)

Planning a self-build or major renovation? Before you start choosing paint colours, ripping out bathrooms or getting builders through the door, there are a few things I’d strongly recommend doing first.

I’ve renovated, styled and worked on enough properties to know that the projects that run most smoothly aren’t necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets - they’re the ones where the homeowner has thought ahead.

Because when you’re in the middle of a renovation, there will be things you didn’t expect. There will be decisions you need to make quickly, deliveries that don’t arrive, costs that change and, inevitably, the odd moment when you wonder why on earth you started.

So, here are my five top tips for getting yourself organised before the work begins.
