highly efficient lighting concepts

Evluma, GenPac and BPA have worked together with a number of co-ops in the BPA service area to bring this together,” said Rick Hall, CEO of GenPac. “We believe that between the incentive, energy savings and the long life of the Clearlight, the utilities will receive excellent value for their dollars spent.” While the Clearlight is a direct screw-in replacement, additional energy savings can be obtained by wiring around the ballast. GenPac plans to retrofit the NEMA Type 5 fixtures with the Evluma lamp prior to shipping, at no extra charge.

With a power factor of ≥ 0.9 and a custom designed internal LED driver taking the place of the fixture’s legacy ballast, the Clearlight uses 75% less electricity than a 175W MV lamp, says Evluma. An active cooling system keeps the thermal junction temperature low, resulting in long life and delivering an estimated L70 at 70,000 hours or longer. Its long lifetime, 3-4x longer than the MV and HPS technology it replaces, means fewer maintenance visits. The Clearlight is Mercury-free. Dark sky friendly, the lamp’s designed light cut-off reduces light pollution.

The project will leverage DuPont’s experience in LED development for displays, while tailoring the technology to the unique requirements for solid-state lighting, an advanced technology that can significantly reduce energy consumption compared with incandescent and fluorescent lamps.  Solution-processing is a cost-effective technique for the manufacture of led high bay light due to its lower capital investment, reduced fixed costs and efficient use of materials.  The benefits are seen through manufacturing large areas at low cost while delivering completely new, highly efficient lighting concepts.The project also reflects DuPont’s recently announced commitment to focus on meeting four emerging global trends, one of which is decreasing dependence on fossil fuels.

In 2008, Starbucks explored the substitution of incandescent and halogen lighting with LED lighting to conserve energy, but found no commercially available LED product that met the company’s aesthetic and functional requirements. As a result, Starbucks reached out to GE to identify a solution. With input from Starbucks about its specific needs, GE developed a highly energy efficient LED product that complements Starbucks store design approach and fits existing fixtures.
