“We are gaining experience with the installed system. What convinced me to opt for lighting solution from Osram Opto Semiconductors and SchahlLED Lighting was above all the good experiences made in the trial operation. With the luminaires that are now installed we can implement a light solution for the future,” he adds.
Due to their high standard of quality, the Duris E 3-LEDs can be expected to last for over 50,000 hours in this application, even operating at full load. This will also minimise the maintenance costs. With the IPL series, however, the LEDs will only be operated at maximum output for a fraction of the time, so that we can expect a service life of well over ten years.
As an additional bonus, the homogenous light emitted by the Osram LED illuminates the parking spaces extremely effectively while also cutting costs.
Luminus gains access to an advanced R&D operation in California as well as the overall technical strength of Sanan’s Corporate R&D Technical Centre. This now provides Luminus access to added global R&D operations in the US and a very large footprint for global expansion in specialty markets like projection display, medical, transportation, ultra-violet and general lighting markets and applications.
“Luminus has been searching for the right partner that would add to our extensive intellectual property, allow for expansion of our global operations and would be additive to our market-leading position in many segments of the worldwide specialty lighting market,” says Keith T.S. Ward, President and CEO of Luminus Devices. “This relationship with Lightera and Sanan will allow us to expand our capabilities through new access to technical and financial resources well beyond our current position.”
“As a leader in the specialty lighting market, Luminus Devices provides us with proven, state-of-the-art technology that will allow Lightera to expand both our U.S. and international offerings,” said Dr. Decai Sun, Chairman and CEO of Lightera. “We expect Luminus to continue to focus on new technology, specialty lighting markets, applications and superior customer service.”
The intelligent luminaires from SchahlLED Lighting with installed Osram LEDs save around 70 percent on energy
