LED Upgrades
Whether replacing failing legacy systems, or seeking measurable carbon reductions, upgrading existing lighting to LED is recognised as a safe, and reliable method of improving reliability, and efficiency. Significant, measurable gains can be demonstrated when converting from Halogen to LED, or from locally driven LED’s to a Centralised Drive System. GDS work in close partnership with major cruise lines, and consultants to develop and measure solutions bespoke to each individual requirement. From simple downlight upgrades, to complete refurbishment across multiple public spaces. GDS provide the most intelligent, and dependable systems anywhere in the world.
Sustainability
Energy efficient lighting is a quick-and cost-effective way to reduce emissions and combat climate change. With tens of thousands of light points across each vessel, these savings can compound very quickly for vessels new and old.
GDS is at the forefront of innovation, striving to maximise performance with ground-breaking design and manufacturing techniques. Locally driven LEDs have widely been accepted as the most efficient and cost-effective method of lighting space for nearly 20 years. We can now do more. More efficient, more reliable, more flexible.
