\"\"New High Bay DALI luminaires from Ledvance provide modern benefits in Grade-1-listed landmark.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ledvance LED lighting solutions have been installed across platforms 1-8 at London\u2019s historic Kings Cross Station to significantly reduce maintenance costs and energy consumption while future-proofing the building\u2019s illumination systems. The retrofit saw numerous traditional 400W metal halide lamps replaced with Ledvance High Bay DALI 115W 4000k luminaires with IP65 protection, fitted with high quality aluminium reflectors.<\/p>\n

The Victorian building is a site of national significance and even small changes to its structure require planning authority approval. While looking the same as the old lights and providing the same amount of brightness \u2013 both essential requirements \u2013 the new Ledvance units use much less electricity and last far longer, providing a constant luminous flux across their five-year guaranteed lifespan. Thanks to their DALI-2 certification, they can also be used with any lighting-control system that may be installed in the future at the station, another important consideration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe old lamps were failing frequently and changing them required specialist lift equipment which, for health and safety reasons, could only be used at certain times of the night when the concourse was empty,\u201d said David Goddard, head of projects UK at Ledvance. \u201cThe station needed new luminaires that were far more reliable and energy efficient, but to keep in line with the original appearance of the building they had to look the same as the old lamps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over 160 High Bay DALI 155W, 4000K LEDs and reflectors have been installed across eight platforms at Kings Cross, providing energy savings of up to 60% compared to conventional high bay luminaires. Ledvance High Bay solutions are an ideal replacement for luminaires with mercury vapour or metal halide lamps as they offer the flexibility of being dimmable and can switch on and off instantly, allowing savings to be realised through daylight and occupancy-dependent operation. This is ideal for industrial applications as well as high ceiling environments. In addition to the much lower energy consumption, Ledvance High Bay LEDs need replacing less frequently leading to maintenance cost savings.<\/p>\n
