GE Lighting announced that its Albeo business unit (acquired last
November) offers 80ABHX Series solid-state lighting (SSL) fixtures to the Utah
Weber State University,which are used for school construction DeeEventsCenter lighting.
These LED ceiling lamps will help high school save $ 40,000 in energy costs each
year, while reducing maintenance costs (lighting installation higher position).
Sports venue lighting is one of application
areas LED technology lately enter into. Many large sports venues use SSL as a
decorative or recreational equipment to provide lighting for the venue, but Weber State
University project might
be the most large-scale projects that use SSL to provide lighting products for
the playing surface.
What the obstacle that LED lighting is used
for sports venues is the desired light output and the ability to provide the
required level of light fixtures cost and weight. LED technology has matured so
that this problem can be solved. Using LED technology, NFL Super Bowl will not encounter
arising problems such as due to a small power outage on February any more.
School Energy and Sustainable Development
Manager JacobCain said that the HID lamps previously used can only provide
60-150fc illumination and project spots on the ground; LED lighting provides
more uniform illumination, no buzzing or flashing, and can be instantaneously dimmed
to create special effects the introduction contestants in such circumstances.
Although the lighting quality is beyond the
school's expectations, but the equipment’s energy efficiency is the real
factors that contributed to the project. The DeeEvents Center
consumes large amount of electricity in the school, Cain team therefore first
examine how other agencies to solve the problem of excessive energy
consumption. As the LED not previously applied a similar venue, the team assessed
lighting and finalized the project with the help of Albeo. Cain said, "
DeeEventsCenter received huge electricity bills in the past month, we have to
pay off, there is no other way. Albeo now offered a new high-ceiling lighting with
less lighting fixtures to provide higher performance, which greatly reduce our
energy costs. "
