Maximum light achieved by the absolute minimum
New technologies and philosophies are coming to light every single day. AAA-LUX always considers those that
revolve around LED technology. This open-minded approach has enabled AAA-LUX to introduce better LED
luminaires that provide superior quality illumination. As a result fewer AAA-LUX LED luminaires are required to
achieve similar or better illumination than convention luminaires would achieve.
The debate about LED floodlights has, for a long time, revolved around their ability to generate significant energy savings. This debate was taken to another level when AAA-LUX introduced its LED alternative for the 2.2 kW conventional luminaires. It was the first time that an LED became a viable alternative to conventional luminaires to illuminate large areas. AAA-LUX has now taken this debate to another level by developing LED luminaires which produce illumination that is that intense and uniform that it outdoes what is being produced by the conventional luminaire. As a result AAA-LUX enables installers to install fewer LED luminaires to match, or even outdo, the illumination that was provided by the conventional luminaire. “The improvement of our LED luminaires allows AAA-LUX, for instance, to illuminate a double tennis court by using only 4 luminaires,” Michel van Dooren points out. “A recent installation at TV Skinlo in the Netherlands proved that 440 lux can be achieved with a uniformity of 0,78. In order to produce the 300 lux that is required according to the norm, the AAA-LUX LED luminaires at TV Skinlo have been dimmed to only 1,000 Watt,” he adds.
NO ADDITIONAL COST
TV Skinlo upgraded to AAA-LUX LED luminaires without needing new infrastructure, thanks to the similar size and weight of the LED fixtures compared to traditional lights. “AAA-LUX LED technology allows a swift one-on-one replacement, reducing the need for additional installations,” explains Van Dooren.
The six double tennis courts at TV Skinlo are now lit by 24 AAA-LUX WS-100 luminaires, meeting the Dutch Tennis Association’s Class II standard, and even capable of reaching the highest Class I level. The upgrade cut energy use by over 50%, with consumption dropping from 8.8 kWh to just 4.0 kWh per court pair, resulting in significant savings for the club.
