efficient LED lighting solutions up close. The centre houses all of our innovative LED lighting concepts,
designs and products within one custom-fitted truck.

It provides an ideal opportunity to bring your team together to learn more about LED lighting and experience
energy efficient solutions first-hand. And of course the Advance team are there to answer any
questions you may have.

Family jewellers Avanti, in the popular Derbyshire town of Ashbourne,
wanted to give their shop a lift and enhance the display of their diamonds
and coloured metal products. They also wanted to switch to LED lighting
for its green credentials and cost savings.

Advance recommended a lighting solution comprising all-LED products
for both ambience and display. Our focus was on three core aspects –
colour temperature, lighting intensity and energy efficiency.

The result was one to be proud of:

“Customers have actually picked up on how much brighter the shop is,
and how the changes to the lighting have improved the whole look and feel
of the shop. I have also been really impressed with how much cheaper
LED lighting is to run compared with metal halide lamps.”
Alan Matkin, Owner of Avanti

Advance had a very successful time @ The ARC Show 2012,
following an excellent showing at LuxLive 2011 last year.

The Business Design Centre (location for the show held
February 29 and March 1) bustled with experts and professionals
from the full spectrum of lighting disciplines -
a clear sign it retains a strong reputation within the industry.

Advance took the same energy efficient campaign as showcased at LuxLive
and enjoyed an excellent response, making over 100 new contacts
across a wide range of industries. The Electra LED Light Panel,
around 50% more energy efficient than the fluorescent alternative,
was again our most popular product.

Director Simon Deacon was very pleased with how the show went:

“If I am honest I had my doubts about the show
due to LuxLive 2011 being so popular and because we
had never been to the show before. I was pleasantly surprised
with how busy the show was and feel very positive
about what we will get out of it.”

Advance had great success exhibiting at LuxLive 2011 on Wednesday 9 and Thursday 10 November 2011 at Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London. This ambitious event, the first of its kind, was visited by 3,800 people and all seemed impressed by the quality of the event. Plans are already in place for LuxLive 2012.

Advance’s stand took an energy efficiency theme and certainly attracted a great deal of interest. Advance showcased many of its innovative lighting solutions and unveiled its brand new energy efficient LED product range, ARA 3. These high output LED light bars are around 40% more energy efficient than alternative fluorescent tubes, helping customers meet their carbon footprint targets. The light bars can be used for a variety of purposes, from ambient and refrigerated shelf lighting to coffers and canopies, and can be tailored to suit customers’ requirements.

The Advance team handed out a number of giveaways including light up bouncy balls and torches in 100% recyclable, stylish canvas bags. The lucky winners of Advance’s energy efficiency competition also took home a bottle of champagne!

LuxLive 2011 was a great success for Advance as well as being a very successful event overall. Despite being relatively small compared to events we have exhibited at in the past, it was of a very high quality. I will look forward to seeing what LuxLive has to offer next year.”

Simon Deacon, Director, Advance

There were many winners on the day including Lincoln Deacon who got the closest to the pin on the 7th hole and was awarded a set of golf balls and Karl Lord who got the longest drive on the 12th hole and was awarded a golf bag.

The raffle prizes included an umbrella and signed personalised cap donated by Mel Reid, an up and coming professional golfer from Derbyshire who recently won her third Ladies European Tour victory at the Open de España Femenino, and a day of golf for two at Kedleston Park Golf Club.

Congratulations to Darren Hicks from Design Brook who was the overall winner and we won’t name and shame the winner of the booby prize who was awarded Advance branded golf balls to get practising with! The prize giving was held over a much deserved and very pleasant two-course meal.

It is fantastic to see so much money raised for such a good cause. I would like to thank everyone for taking the time out of their day jobs to help support the charity. I have received fantastic feedback from those who attended and I am already looking forward to next year’s day.”
Simon Deacon, Director, Advance
