Forge Europa’s Energy Saving LED lamps help cut church’s electricity costs

We are pleased to have provided new LED lighting for the altar at St Mary’s RC Church in Ulverston. Forge Europa has fitted 24 of its new PAR30 energy saving LED lamps to illuminate the front of the church. Forge Europa's range has been designed and developed to dramatically reduce energy consumption and deliver long life performance: with a minimum 42,000 maintenance free, operational hours. This means not only brighter, more directional lighting in church, but also represents a saving of over 50% of on-going electricity and unplanned maintenance costs.


Maintenance-free lighting is also a fantastic benefit in many large ecclesiastical buildings where lamps are often located in high, inaccessible areas. For instance, if the church uses its lighting for 2 hours every day over the coming decades then the Forge Europa’s LED lamps should not need changing until the year 2069!

Canon Flannery was delighted with the new lighting: “It is a great improvement, much easier to read by and shows up the carvings on the altar so much better.”
