Follow on Google News | Deco Lighting's Induction Lighting at UC Irvine Medical Center provides 56% Energy SavingsDeco Lighting replaced inefficient lighting at the University of California Irvine Medical Center with 100,000 hour Induction lighting. New lighting provides superior visibility, safety and 56% energy savings.
By: Deco Lighting Deco Lighting D816i Series area luminaires with 120 watt Induction lamps replaced 250 watt HPS fixtures in several parking locations. Additional Deco Lighting fixtures installed include D407i Series Induction wall luminaires and vaportight T8 fluorescent fixtures in campus parking garages. NovaTech Energy Services Group, Inc., a nationwide leader in energy conservation services, provided lighting design, equipment recommendations and complete cost savings analyses for the project. “The new lighting is expected to save the University $21,092 per year in lighting energy costs and $3,994 per year in maintenance costs“ said Greg Cavlovic, National Accounts Manager of NovaTech. “Including state and utility rebates, the ROI (return on investment) is projected to be achieved in only 2.27 years” added Mr. Cavlovic. Long term maintenance savings will be provided by eliminating the parts and labor costs of at least three relampings of the HPS fixtures over the lifespan of the new 100,000 hour Induction luminaires. Induction lighting provides equivalent light levels compared to HID lighting using only half the wattage. This performance is based on the visual effective lumens (VEL) of Induction lamps, versus the traditional outdoor footcandle measurement criteria developed for HID lamps many years ago. The superior quality of Induction lighting is due to the VEL, high 85 lumens per watt efficiency, and excellent 85 CRI (color rendering index) clean white color. HPS lamps exhibit a distinctly yellowish cast and a very poor 22 CRI color rating. The superb color, uniformity and control of the new Deco Lighting Induction fixtures at the UC Irvine campus has greatly improved the nighttime visibility and safety for students, staff, drivers, and the surrounding community.
