Trial of LED lighting in Tralee, Ireland

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.

Low Energy Designs swaps lights in Sea life centre

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 400watt and 150watt metal halide were swapped for 2 x 90watts and 1 x 85watt SunBURST LED floodlight, the light quality has dramatically improved.

BEFORE: 480w & 180w Metal Halide     AFTER: 3 x SunBURST - Total 260watts

Saving of 60% on electricity

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

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

Low Energy Designs wins contract to replace all security lighting systems for Celtel (Zain) in Africa

LED UK is to replace and upgrade over 2,500 cellular sites for Celtel (Zain) in Nigeria & Ghana.  The 2 x 350watt Halogen lights will be replaced by the SunFIRE LED 60watt 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%.

Low Energy Designs wins contract to deploy the SunFIRE street lighting into Lagos Nigeria

After conducting trials and competing against 30 other LED light manufacturers in Ado Ekiti State, PNN Nigeria is awarded the contract with LED 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 LED 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)

Further details and enquires can be obtained through Low Energy Designs Nigeria or directly through Low Energy Designs Ltd. (See contact details)

Low Energy Designs provides DC Power systems to Celtel for mobile GSM solutions & MTN GSM Cell sites in Nigeria
 

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 OPEX costs by more than 60%.
