Comfortable Light New 10 watt LED lamp produced by LEDON Lamp GmbH
LEDON LED retrofit lamps emit warm- white light and create a homely atmosphere. Therefore, they are the perfect replacement for light bulbs, not only in terms of design but also in terms of light quality. At the same time, LED lamps use up to six times less energy than incandescent lamps. Unlike CFL energy- saving lamps, LED lamps have a continuous light spectrum, are free of toxic mercury and achieve 100% luminosity immediately after switching on. Due to its unbeatable efficiency, the 10 W LED lamp produced by the Austrian company LEDON Lamp is definitely the new highlight in the LEDON product range. Its light output of 600 lumen and its great light quality ensure that it is the technologically leading LED lamp in this category. Furthermore, the lamp has a very elegant design: a white metal housing crowned by a frosted glass dome. As opposed to conventional light sources the
10 watt LED lamp saves about 83 percent of energy costs. At the same time, this LED lamp has a warm-white colour temperature of 2700 Kelvin. The new LED lamp with either B22 or E27 socket will be available as dimmable and non-dimmable versions as well as with a brand-new feature – the double-click option. By double-clicking your light switch, the LED lamp is dimmed down to 30 percent of its original brightness. By switching the lights on, briefly switching them off and switching them on again – the double-click – consumers will be able to create a homely atmosphere without using expensive dimmers.
LEDON Lamp GmbH is based in Vorarlberg, Austria, and is a 100% subsidiary of the Zumtobel AG lighting group. For already a year now, LEDON Lamp has focused on the development, sales and marketing of LED retrofit lamps as 1:1 replacements for the well-known
AJ Hurst shines the light on energy efficiency for Corus
Corus, one of Europe’s largest steel producers, is benefitting from the lighting knowledge of Belfast-based AJ Hurst. Corus had been using 400watt metal halide lamps in four of its main buildings and recognized that considerable savings were possible through a more energy efficient solution.
AJ Hurst was awarded the contract and, following a review, the existing lighting system was replaced with a mixture of T5 240watt and 320watt lamps from Dexeco, fitted with integral daylight saving and movement detection sensors. “With innovation and continuous improvement at the heart of its business performance, Corus knew exactly what they wanted from the lighting upgrade and actually specified the lux levels required for the job,” said Sean O’Kane, Director at AJ Hurst.
“We appointed Axon Controls as the installation contractor for the job and had to be particularly flexible with regards to the installation work, as the operational procedures being carried out at the plant on a daily basis meant that all work had to be scheduled and programmed well in advance,” continued Sean.“Another particular challenge was the fact that one of the buildings was actually being re-roofed during the contract period.” The completed works have resulted in major savings for Corus – estimated to be in the region of some £30,000 per annum. Kevin O’Hare, Finance Controller at Corus Ireland said that working with AJ Hurst on the energy saving lighting project had been a very professional experience.

“They were chosen because of their knowledge and expertise and they have been extremely attentive and efficient during the process, “ said Kevin. “The installation with their partners, Axon, has also been smooth and flexible and we look forward to reaping the predicted benefits of 50% reduction in running costs, once commissioning is completed in the near future.”
Other benefits as a result of the scheme, include improved light levels, a better working environment and a reduction in carbon emissions.
