The lighting shows are edited with the concept of romantic rainbow to display the weekdays

Cree’s new 10-year warranty covers nearly all Cree globally available commercial-grade indoor and outdoor fixtures, which can be installed in restaurants, offices, hospitals, grocery stores, shopping malls, schools and universities, auto dealerships, roadways, parking facilities, gas stations and many other commercial spaces around the world.

 Lover Bridge, completed in 2003, is a well-known landmark in Tamsui; It is attractive of sparking and golden sunset. Under the sun, Lover Bridge looks vibrant and lively. In the sunset, the lovers on the bridge form a classic love scene. At night, with the colorful lighting, the bridge shows its mysterious and romantic attraction.

Lover Bridge was illuminated in white halogen lamps to show the diversities of style in recent 10 years. However, in recent years, environmental-protection consciousness has been continually enhanced; it is redesigned with the LED lighting fixture to replace the halogen lamps of higher power consumption and lower performance.
The lighting shows are edited with the concept of romantic rainbow to display the weekdays, holidays and special festivals with the different styles.

The Love Bridge is a white cable-stayed bridge with the single tower, steel wire rope and the new style is to redesign the outdoor lawn sculpture park and fountain with LED lighting fixtures. Controlled by ARC’s LED lighting total solution, the sleek bridge is installed with the ARC LED strips of the facilitated waterproof connector design which is to simplify the construction. The tower is installed with the full color LED lights of waterproof, corrosion resistant and lightweight design to resist the weather conditions.

efficient lighting does not have to mean compromising on a cozy atmosphere

When millions of visitors start streaming into the world’s biggest fair from September 22 to October 7, attention will center not only on good cheer, but also on the environment. While the Hippodrom is not the largest of the Oktoberfest beer tents, its commitment to the environment is all the greater: By replacing 550 incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient Osram LED lamps, the venue will be reducing CO2 emissions by some 1.2 tons at the Oktoberfest.

A total of 550 warm-white LED lamps from Munich-based Osram will be putting visitors, food and beverages in the right light and helping the environment at the Hippodrom’s 110th anniversary this year. Instead of 25 watts like the incandescent bulbs used before, the new lamps need only 5 watts of power to achieve the same brightness, meaning they will save 2,500 kWh of electricity during the 16-day Oktoberfest, equivalent to 1.2 tons or over 600,000 liters CO2. “Together with Osram, we are making the Oktoberfest a little bit greener. We would like to show that even when you’re celebrating, you shouldn’t forget the environment. At the same time, we want to demonstrate our support of efforts to achieve a more sustainable Oktoberfest,” explains Sepp Kr?tz, operator and host of the Hippodrom. The warm-white light demonstrates perfectly that energy-efficient lighting does not have to mean compromising on a cozy atmosphere. It produces a pleasant, welcoming setting, inviting guests to sway to the music and celebrate.

After the Hacker beer tent in 2007 and the L?wenbr?u tent last year, the Hippodrom is the third Oktoberfest venue to switch to energy-efficient lighting from Osram and make an important contribution to the environment. And more are to follow: “We are very pleased that the Hippodrom, one of the most well-known beer tents, decided to switch to an energy-saving lighting concept. Naturally our goal is to have all the beer tents illuminated in energy-efficient lighting in a few years, so that the Oktoberfest is good for both visitors and the environment,” says Klaus-Günter Vennemann, Osram’s CEO of General Lighting.

the change in purchasing behaviour that will result from familiar incandescent bulbs disappearing from the marketplace

Although an integrated communications strategy will be required to educate people about the impressive energy and money saving benefits of solid state technology, the appropriate standards and regulations must also be introduced to ensure that information is accurate and easily available. An issue that is ripe for reassessment is the set of standards by which lighting technologies are measured. These systems have often been unrepresentative of technology quality and put LED assets at a disadvantage; an obvious example being the LED high bay light practice of measuring the light quality at the point at which a bulb is first switched on rather than over its lifespan, thereby failing to reflect the long life and enduring quality of LED technology. The purpose of standards should be to evaluate technologies and protect consumers – and they must do so adequately and fairly.

It is not enough for such standards to exist; they must be accessible and present in the minds of consumers and other purchasers such as procurement professionals. The easiest way to achieve this would be to include the relevant information on packaging, which would facilitate like-for-like comparisons at point of purchase and allow price to be weighed against factors such as efficiency. After all, consumers will hesitate to pay more for a technology if its advantages are not immediately apparent and, unsurprisingly, 23% of customers surveyed by Consumer Reports cited cost as a key reason for avoiding LEDs.

Simply waiting for LEDs to reduce in price enough to no longer be considered an “investment” purchase is not an option for two reasons. First, becoming engaged in a battle to artificially drive down costs puts at risk the very thing that makes LEDs stand out in the lighting market - the superiority of their technology. Second, it is vital that we do not fail to capitalise on the change in purchasing LED linear high bay light behaviour that will result from familiar incandescent bulbs disappearing from the marketplace.

LED technology offers coherent efficiency, environmental and financial advantages across the board. It is crucial that we as an industry ensure these benefits do not stay in the shadows but are brought into the light for all to see.

These include tunable colour spots from Anoli

Further advantages of LED lighting are consistency of performance over the operating life of the fixtures and very high reliability. Led linear high bay light emitters radiate much less heat than tungsten lamps in the beam and the typical operating life is over 50,000 hours.

Entertainment lighting products that employ LED Engin emitters will be on display on the LED Engin stand and throughout the PLASA show. These include tunable colour spots from Anolis, full colour wall washes from SGM and GDS Liteware and stage lighting from Showtec.

LED Engin’s European Manager, Gerrit-Willem Prins, comments, “The stage and studio lighting industry has embraced LED Engin’s products with enthusiasm over the last two years. Lighting manufacturers have realised the significant benefits offered by compact LED emitters and our technology is now able to deliver the widest possible choice of colours, beam widths and lumen intensity from lighting fixtures. In addition, the individually addressable die enable lighting designers to use flexible control technology to make their original, creative dreams become reality.”
