Case Study: Taunton RFC

Conference Room Lighting Upgrade

Client: Taunton Rugby Football Club
Sector: Community Sports & Events Venue
Location: Taunton, UK
Completed: 2025
Products Used: Integral LED Lineal Suspended / Surface Mounted Linear Luminaires (Part No’s: ILSOA001 and ILSOA002)

Background

After devastating floods severely damaged key facilities, Taunton Rugby Football Club prioritised the refurbishment of its conference and event spaces - vital income-generating areas for the club’s future sustainability. With strong community support and a successful GoFundMe campaign, the club set about restoring and significantly enhancing these spaces.

A core element of the upgrade was a complete lighting overhaul - not just to replace what was lost, but to create a brighter, more functional, and commercially appealing environment.

Case Study

The Challenge

• Major flood damage to conference and event rooms

• Outdated, inefficient lighting systems

• Need to rapidly restore a key revenue space

• Improve ambience, flexibility and operational efficiency

The Solution

Integral LED supplied a full LED lighting upgrade using the Lineal range of linear luminaires - chosen for performance, flexibility and aesthetic quality.

Key features delivered:

• Approx. 50% energy savings compared to previous lighting

• Clean, modern surface or suspended linear LED luminaires

• Brighter, more evenly distributed illumination

• Adjustable colour temperature and wattage options

• Enhanced professional look and feel

The Lineal fittings (Part No: ILSOA002) offer:

• Power & CCT switchable - 28W/50W and 3000K/4000K/5000K

• 110 lm/W efficiency for reduced running costs

• UGR < 19 visual comfort

• A slim, linkable design with surface, suspension and BESA mounting kits

• 5-year warranty

Outcome

The upgraded lighting transformed the club’s conference rooms into bright, professional spaces ideally suited for meetings, presentations and social events. The modern linear scheme enhances ambience throughout the day, while delivering significant energy and maintenance savings.

Nick Mason, Commercial Manager at Taunton RFC, said:

“After the flooding, restoring our conference rooms was critical to the club’s future income. The new lighting has completely transformed the space. It’s noticeably brighter, cleaner and far more professional - perfect for hosting meetings, presentations and events. The feedback from visitors has been fantastic, and the added benefit of reduced energy costs is a huge win for the club.” 

Why It Matters

This project demonstrates how thoughtful specification and high-quality LED solutions can support not only operational efficiency, but also community recovery and commercial viability. The right lighting elevates space, enhances experience, and delivers ongoing value.
