sustainable lighting: aurora
A spectrum of sustainability Low-energy lighting throws some stylish light on sustainability in commercial spaces.
Image captions: (bedroom) The 8.5W Cree Ledzworld bulb features Colour Temperature Adjusted (CTA) dimming which warms the colour temperature of the lamp as it is dimmed from Soft Tone to Flame offering the user greater control over their environment.
Custom built electronics support a high power-factor of up to 0.93 which is higher than any other LED lamp available today.
Forward-thinking manufacturers, like Aurora, have already responded to Government’s energy saving targets by developing a new generation of sustainable, low- energy, high-performance lighting solutions.

raditionally, low voltage downlights have proved popular in retail areas because of their aesthetic appeal but now it’s easy to choose low energy without sacrificing good looks. By switching to the newest generation of LED and CFL lighting you can match or outperform the lighting achieved with halogen lamps and still gain huge increases in lamp life. This leap in longevity can
reap rewards for several years in maintenance savings. So if, for example, your low-energy lamps are burning for 12 hours per day, you’ll only need to replace them every 28 months compared with a six-month life from halogen lamps. By increasing the available range of energy efficient CFL & LED products, manufacturers have also ignited the imagination of lighting designers and project managers with the inclusion of coloured lighting to enhance building features, corporate identity and external landscapes. Aurora’s recent trailblazing achievements include the

development of the halogen replacement lamps contained in their new LUNA range. The LUNA range offers best of breed, cost-effective CFL and LED technology to those charged with solving energy savings problems today. New ground breaking technology in LED lighting combines the warm colours, light output and atmosphere of traditional lighting with the energy-savings of LED. This specific combination of
features makes professional LED lamps from cutting-edge innovators, Ledzworld, one of the most effective replacements for incandescent and halogen predecessors. Only available from Aurora in the UK, Ledzworld lamps feature a patented dimming capability -
´Colour Temperature Adjusted (CTA) dimming´. This innovation offers the user greater control over their environment.
The lamps consume 80-90 per cent less energy than equivalent traditional products and up to 50 per cent less than average electricity saving lamps (compact fluorescent also known as CFL). Ledzworld´s sophisticated built-
in Temperature Control System (TCS) protects the critical electronic components in the lamp from overheating, allowing a lifetime of at least 35,000 hours. Aurora has developed fire- rated fixings which solve the conundrum meeting regulations on fire protection, acoustic insulation, air leakage and insulation at the same time.
