New Lighting at The Gallery Upstairs

In a bid to reduce our organisation’s carbon footprint The Gallery Upstairs has replaced 11 floodlights that used florescent tubes with the equivalent number of LED floodlights (produced by "Illuma"). Our project has been part funded by Low Carbon Dorset as part of the European Regional Development Fund and will save around 0.7 tonnes of CO2 each year.
