LONDON´S KINGS CROSS STATION SWITCHES TO LEDVANCE TO CUT ENERGY, MAINTENANCE & RUNNING COSTS
New High Bay DALI Luminaires from LEDVANCE provide modern benefits in Grade 1 listed landmark
While looking the same as the old lights and providing the same amount of brightness – both essential requirements, the new High Bay units use much less electricity and last far longer, providing a constant luminous flux across their five-year guaranteed lifespan. Thanks to their DALI-2 certification, they can also be used with any lighting-control system that may be installed in the future at the station. The old lamps originally installed at the iconic train station were failing frequently and changing them required special lift equipment which, for health and safety reasons, could only be used at certain times of the night when the platforms were empty. The station needed new luminaires that were far more reliable and energy efficient, but to keep in line with the original appearance of the building, they had to look the same as the old lamps.
Therefore, LEDVANCE LED HIGHBAY solutions have been installed across platforms 1 – 8 at London’s historic Kings Cross Station in a move that will significantly reduce maintenance costs and energy consumption while future-proofing the building’s illumination systems. The recently completed retrofit saw numerous traditional 400W metal halide lamps replaced with LEDVANCE High Bay DALI 115W 4000k luminaires with IP65 protection, fitted with high quality aluminium reflectors. Over 160 High Bay DALI 155W, 4000K LEDs and reflectors have been installed across eight platforms at Kings Cross, providing energy savings of up to 60% compared to conventional high bay luminaires. LEDVANCE High Bay solutions are an ideal replacement for luminaires with mercury vapour or metal halide lamps as they offer the flexibility of being dimmable and can switch on and off instantly, allowing savings to be performed through daylight and occupancy-dependent operation.
In conclusion, High Bay luminaire from LEDVANCE provided the ideal solution to energy efficiencies and lowering maintenance costs whilst also keeping to its original appearance.
