Energy Efficiency


Philips recently unveiled a new LED lamp that looks set to replace traditional florescent tube lighting within offices and industry around the world. Philips has described the lamp as the “world’s most energy-efficient” and it is said that it is twice as efficient as its equivalent. Philips claim that the prototype lamp


produces 200 lumens per watt (200lm/W), which is twice as efficient as equivalent strip lighting and more efficient, than traditional light bulbs.


This lamp marks the first time that lighting engineers have been able to reach 200lm/W efficiency without having to compromise on the quality of light, while meeting all the stringent requirements for office lighting. “This again is a major breakthrough in LED lighting and will further drive the transformation of the lighting industry,” explains Rene van Schooten, CEO Light Sources & Electronics for Philips Lighting. “After being recognised for our quality of LED light (mimicking traditional light bulbs) to creating new experience with Philips Hue (the connected light system for the home), we now present the next innovative step in doubling lighting efficiency. It’s exciting to imagine the massive energy and cost savings it will


bring to our planet and customers.” The lamp has been designed for use in


offices where lights tend to be left on for most or all of the day so when launched will represent a huge saving of energy. Philips plan to bring the new lamp to market in 2015 and expect it to replace traditional fluorescent lighting before ultimately being used within the home.


Due to the lifespan of LEDs they require minimal maintenance making them perfect for outdoor and exterior lighting. Harvard Engineering produce an award-winning control and monitoring system for outdoor and street lighting which provides the ability to proactively manage the streetlights which can cut energy costs by up to £46 per light, per year and carbon by up to 100kg per light, per year.


The system, called LeafNut can be


retrofitted to existing lanterns using a range of HID ballasts created by Harvard Engineering for LeafNut. The company’s CPE and HPIDD ballasts offer WiMAC compatibility as standard and can deliver up to 250W of power.


LeafNut can also be used alongside


energy efficient LED lamps to provide a complete energy saving package. The company’s innovative High Power CLH driver, part of the CoolLED range, is perfect to be installed in LED lights alongside LeafNut as it is WiMAC compatible and delivers up to 150W of power with the option of either Analogue 1-10V or DALI dimming control.
