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.”
