In comparison with the previous sodium lights on the bridge

The Wanganui District Council embarked on a trial of different led linear high bay light sources as an alternative to conventional lighting technology for Wanganui City Bridge. The council was looking for an energy efficient solution that would improve illumination. Evolve NZ Ltd provided the District Council with a solution using GE’s 80W R150 LED lamps. The fittings have the backing of a local supplier in New Zealand, and the support of GE Lighting.

In comparison with the previous sodium lights on the bridge, the GE LED lights deliver a 52 per cent power saving. The new luminaries direct the light to where it is needed while reducing the glare from the fitting to less than 5 per cent. There is no wasted upward light leakage from the new fittings.

Mr. John Birks, General Manager of Evolve NZ Ltd said: “The white LED light makes for a more modern and vibrant atmosphere in the night space, a space where it is easier to see the real colours of life. We are expecting that this type of lighting will bring more people out to enjoy the city where we live.”

Councillor Ray Stevens, Chair of the Infrastructure and Property Committee of Wanganui District Council added: “There are clearly a range of potential benefits and savings for the public. The public will notice that the new led high bay light fittings create a ‘white light’ rather than an ‘orange glow’ from the sodium lights which were previously installed.”

Semiconductor lighting industry in Shenzhen develops rapidly in recent years

Orion’s LED fixture, designed to perform at temperatures as low as -20 degrees Fahrenheit, has been retrofitted in more than 3 million square feet of freezer and cold-storage space in facilities across the nation in the past several months. Companies with Orion LED technology in their facilities include US Foods, Sysco, Americold, and Save-A-Lot. The three approved Orion LED fixture models vary based on application-specific lens configuration. Orion’s LED fixtures are designed to replace traditional high intensity discharge and T8 and T5 fluorescent fixtures. Orion’s LED fixtures use 123 watts compared to 400-watt HIDs and 298-watt fluorescents. According to its Web site, the DLC is a collaboration of utility companies and regional energy efficiency organizations committed to raising awareness of the benefits of efficient lighting in commercial buildings. In order to be included on the DLC’s QPL, a product must meet or exceed specific industry standards. QPL inclusion is required for c...

Entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs

The number and breadth of applications that require amber LEDs is tremendous,” said Frank Harder, VP of Product Marketing at Philips Lumileds. “Markets including automotive, entertainment, roadway, signaling, and many others use amber LEDs. With better efficiency and more light output, LUXEON Rebel PC amber makes it that much easier to reduce energy consumption with an environmentally friendly product.lamps to LEDs because they didn’t produce enough light and couldn’t operate effectively at higher temperatures. With the advances provided by LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, yellow traffic signals will be converted, warning lights and beacons on vehicles and obstructions will switch and entertainment applications will adopt the new LEDs. numbers of amber LEDs. With LUXEON Rebel PC Amber, manufacturers will be able to use fewer LEDs and lower other component costs because of the improved light output and particularly the stable color over temperature, something that has been problematic for many ...
