A blue chip company installs Low Energy Designs LED lighting system over induction lighting after trialling both systems.

The company have been trialling the Low Energy Designs LED luminaires and inbuilt control system against the low bay induction lights.
Results from customer trials:

Existing lighting system: Metal Halides @ 250 & 400 watts at 7m high with 10 lights per aisle.

Induction lighting provided 130 -150 lux on the ground at 7m high running 200watts per light with 12 lights per aisle.

Low Energy Designs LED lights provided 360 – 400 lux on the ground at 7m running at 100watts per light with only 10 per aisle.

When it was calculated on how many additional lights were needed to light the aisles using induction lights the LED lights worked out to be cheaper in the initial cost and saved an addtional 58% saving on energy against the induction lights. (75% saving against the original Metal Halide lights)

The SunRAY 10 lights are offering further savings to the customer by dimming and using wireless occupancy activation linked into the lights unique wireless communications system.

A well known company supplying icecream and other frozen confectionary is quoted to have saved 95% by using Low Energy Designs intelligent LED lighting system compared with their existing lighting.

The lighting system provides the customer with a wireless remote control system to the lights enabling them to be set up for dimming, schedulling 24/7, PIR operation with remote PIR and group forwarding amongst other additional features all built into the LED fixtures. Previoiusly the client was unable to switch off the lights when not in use because they generally failed to come back on, this would increase the maintenance charges of having to replace fittings. Now the lights are either switched off or dimmed in periods of non traffic during the day and night. Many of the light fixtures have also been dimmed down to 38watts in many areas still providing the light output the client requires.

The customer expects to have the new LED intelligent lighting system paid off within 6 – 8 months.
