How LED high bays made the snow white at Snowplanet
With led high bay lights australia. 126 luminaires have been placed evenly around the dome at a
ceiling height of 11 metres, producing significantly more light than the
previous 76 dual pulse-start HID high-bays.
Facility and
site manager Stuart Hindley oversaw the full lighting upgrade to the site. He
said: ‘We wanted a whiter, fresh look to the snow and a lot more light so
parents could watch their kids from the top of the run while sitting in the
viewing lounge below.’
Qualified
for subsidy
Replacing
the 350W existing fittings with 140W led high bay lights australia
will save 150,000kWh per year, and the
financial savings appeared before the lights were even switched on; the
projected power savings qualified the lighting upgrade for a subsidy from the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) of New Zealand, which will
cover the cost of fittings and installation. The lighting upgrade could
potentially save Snowplanet $22,000 per year.
Hindley
opted for the Craft led high bay lights australia from Zumtobel. The fixture comes in lengths of 200 and 490mm
and are built to withstand both cold and hot climates. Zumtobel Group
Specification Engineer, Matthew Hogg, said: ‘Each LED has its own lens, so the
light is precisely controlled where you want it. With a light output of up to
28,000 lumens they achieve energy efficiencies of 118 delivered lumens per
watt.’
Increased
safety – and billboard revenue
One of the
biggest challenges of the project was the timeframe. The new luminaires needed
to be installed before the start of the school holiday, which is typically the
busiest time of year forled high bay lights australia Getting all the stakeholders in line – end user, contractor,
wholesaler and luminaire manufacturer – in a short space of time while also
making sure the project was meeting the strict EECA criteria, was no mean feat.
Hindley met regularly with the contractor to ensure the project could get
finished in time for the holiday rush.
Tristate
Electrical installed the luminaires to a design by Zumtobel engineers that
prevented light pooling and brightened the massive space with cool white light.
Aside from perking up the look and feel of the snow, the new lights created a
safer environment. led high bay lights australia
‘Potentially
there could be 180 people on the slopes and a disruption to the power could
leave us without light for up to five minutes,’ Hindley said. ‘Now the led high bay lights australia restrike instantly, which is a significant safety benefit.'
And there is one other advantage of the lightnig upgrade, Hindley reveals:
'Improved light also presents commercial benefits with our better lit
billboards having more impact for advertisers.’
