Lighting Energy Calculators – GE Toolkit

Greg Crew — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 05:05:11 +0000

Figuring out how to calculate energy savings could be a bit difficult depending on the nature of your lighting retrofit. Lucky for us, many websites have an energy calculator tool. In this example, GE has a few nice calculators. Usable (at the very least) to those who have the most basic understanding of lighting and its terminology.

At GE Consumer & Industrial, we want to help lighting professionals and their customers save energy costs. See for yourself the difference these seven simple estimating tools can make.

Calculators:
Simple Energy Estimator – Watts Per Square Foot Estimator – Lighting Layout Estimator – Fixture Replacement Estimator – Dimming System Watts Estimator – Cost of Waiting Estimator – Simple Life-Cycle Cost Estimator – Lighting Calculators Continued

Lighting Retrofit -Deco Lighting Illuminates Largest U.S. Marine Base with Induction Lighting

Greg Crew — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:02:59 +0000

A Lighting Retrofit from HID to Induction Lighting is one of a few great ways to really rake in the energy savings and potentially increase lighting quality. Let’s not forget that most Induction lighting is rated for 100,000 hours where HIDs are typically rated around 10-20,000 hours.

When the U.S. Marine Corps needed to upgrade outdoor lighting at Twentynine Palms, their largest base in the world, they chose Deco Lighting’s 100,000 hour life Induction fixtures. The vast 932 square mile desert base is home to the U.S. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, located 60 miles west of Palm Springs, in San Bernardino County, California. Built in 1952, the premier base serves to maintain Joint/Coalition operational forces readiness with combined arms training for the eleven units garrisoned there, including the 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Tank Battalion, and 3rd Combat Engineer Battalion.

Deco Lighting replaced inefficient HID floodlights, cobraheads and wall pack fixtures with latest green technology, 100,000 hour Induction luminaires to provide the U.S. military with substantial energy savings and long term maintenance cost savings. The new Deco luminaires also deliver superior illumination for operational reliability, visibility and safety. Lighting Retrofit – Continued

LED Lighting Retrofit – US Navy Teaming up With Lighting Science

Greg Crew — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 02:56:33 +0000

A&K Energy Conservation, Inc. has had the pleasure of working with Lighting Science in the past. As a Lighting Maintenance Contractor, we have installed quite a few of their LED systems. Great stuff, and we plan to write something about LSG from our own experiences in the future. However, it was no surprise to see the US NAVY (or anyone for that matter) taking advantage of the new LED pole light and wallpack luminaires in the news.

“SATELLITE BEACH, Fla., Feb 23, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — In what may be the largest lighting retrofit and upgrade in Navy history, Lighting Science Group Corporation (LSCG.PK) and the United States Navy are relighting the streetscapes, parking lots and the residence quarters at two separate sites at the Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) California — Port Hueneme and Point Mugu — with energy efficient LED (light emitting diode) lighting solutions.” -Lighting Retrofit -Continue

The point here is that LED is staying for a while. Manufacturers are finding useful ways to bring this technology to market. It makes perfect sense when you look at the energy savings, inherent long life and lumens per watt advances.
