DRK Lighting’s Free Remanufacturing Assessment Survey: What is salvageable and what needs to be replaced?

At DRK Lighting, we’re committed to helping you make the most of your existing lighting and discover the possibilities of repurposing infrastructure into lighting. Our expert site survey is the first step in identifying how much of your current setup can be remanufactured or repurposed.

 

What Will Be Assessed?

Not every lighting system needs a complete overhaul. During our site survey, we assess:

  • What can be salvaged or upgraded
  • Which fittings can be remanufactured
  • Opportunities to repurpose your current infrastructure

 

We can then estimate your future energy and, therefore, cost savings if you were to choose these sustainable options for your lighting.

 

What is Repurposing?

Repurposing is the process of taking existing infrastructure and adapting it for a new purpose, in this case, lighting. Abides by the principles of the circular economy by urban mining and extending the life of materials and recovering apparatus for reuse.

 

As raw resources are finite and depleting, urban mining and repurposing will become an increasingly popular solution in future. Another benefit is that by repurposing parts of the building, you can help preserve the cultural heritage and architectural character of the space.

 

What Can Be Repurposed?

Including but not limited to:

  • Copper piping
  • Handrails
  • Air Conditioning ducts
  • Steel pipes

 

DRK Lighting Remanufacture: Built to Last and Backed by Warranty

When you choose DRK as your lighting remanufacturer, you’re choosing quality, safety, and long-term reliability. Every DRK remanufactured fitting is backed by a 5-year warranty and is fully compliant with all relevant standards and regulations. We don’t just bring your fittings back to life; we support them for the long haul.

 

A Duty of Care that Lasts 20 Years

Lighting shouldn’t be a short-term decision. That’s why with every DRK Lighting remanufactured solution, we offer a 20-year duty of care, including:

  • Ongoing support and traceability
  • Lifecycle assessments and maintenance guidance
  • Continued access to spare parts and technical advice

 

Our goal is to extend the life of your lighting and reduce unnecessary waste. In the UK, the construction sector accounts for 62% of all waste produced, with 32% of that ending up in landfills. Replacing fittings and counting carbons is a workaround that keeps the machines in Europe running, but it is not the best approach if you are serious about sustainable life cycles; only remanufacturing ticks that box.

 

DRK Lighting remanufactures are sustainable and reliable, with quality guaranteed. Our dedicated Remanufacturing and Repurposing Technicians have over 100 years of experience in lighting and are exceptional craftsmen who can restore, upgrade, and transform materials into high-performance, energy-efficient lighting solutions.
