Tralee Council have taken the active lead in making a difference by reducing power usage by installing a combination of LED street and flood lights into the prestigious Tralee Square and Abbey Court.

The aim is to reduce the power consumption by 67% and save 8,541kg of CO₂ per year on the square alone.

Initial results are showing a 55% saving without comparing all of the existing light with the new lights as they were on a separate circuit.

The CCTV footage of the square before and after were examined by the Gardi to ensure that the light was increased to help identify and enhance the CCTV performance.

LED UK upgraded and updated the lights in some of the tanks in the Merlin Entertainments Sea life Centre in Hunstanton. The lighting in the low level Ray tank were swapped out, the 400 Watt and 150 Watt Metal Halide were swapped for 2 x 90 Watt and 1 x 85 Watt SunBURST™LED floodlight, the light quality has dramatically improved.

BEFORE: 480 Watt and 150 Watt Metal halide

AFTER: 3 x SunBURST™ - Total 260 Watts. Saving of 60% on electricity.

The 250 Watt Metal Halide in the Mullet tank was swapped with the 90 Watt SunBURST™ and was dimmed to a 70 Watt output saving 72%.

The main ocean tank had the addition of the 100 Watt SunBURST™ with a combination of royal blue and white LEDs, this combination really help to bring out the colours in the coral and fish.

Low Eenergy Designs UK is to replace and upgrade over 2,500 cellular sites for Celtel (Zain) in Nigeria and Ghana. The 2 x 350 Watt Halogen lamps will be replaced by the SunFIRE™LED 60 Watt light. The light will run directly from the 48Vdc power supply provided by the batteries on site. This method will reduce the overall power consumption from lighting on the site by over 80%.

After conducting trials and competing against 30 other LED light manufacturers in Ado Ekiti State, PNN Nigeria is awarded the contract with Low Energy Designs UK to supply its SunFIRE™LED light with power saving features into one of the busiest streets in Lagos. Within the next 6 weeks over 400 lights will now be deployed in conjunction with the power bunker. This will save the Lagos State Government over 60% but more like 80% compared with the current sodium lighting solution. The SunFIRE™ lights are fully approved by SONCAP and are ready for importation. This system will also be deployed with the remote monitoring and control system, this will enable Low Energy Designs Nigeria to offer the Lagos State Government the opportunity to 100% customise the lighting to suit their requirement by dimming or switching off the lights at any given time to save further power. This solution is perfect for solar powered LED lights as the lights can be customised to suit the lighting requirement and solar panel/battery size to avoid failure (which is common place)

CobraComms part of the Low Energy Designs Group provides the 24 and 48Vdc automated and remote power solutions for Celtel (Zain) in Nigeria for the GSM trailers. Previously the system used constant power provided by the large onboard AC generators which needed servicing every 8 days and refuelling the 500 litre fuel tank every 4 to 5 days. Now the COWs (Cell on Wheels) only need refuelling every 15 - 20 days and servicing every 2 months a massive saving on operational expenditure. The same systems are also destined for the Celtel and MTN static sites to reduce dramatically reduce the operating expenditure costs by more than 60%.

Low Energy Designs Ltd was invited to display their SunFIRE™LED streetlight at the Intertraffic show in Amsterdam. Low Energy Designs was able to provide Wireless internet and IP camera functions from their light whilst displaying the ability to remotely change the lights power output, scheduling on / off times, LED temperature monitoring/control and many more functions.
