i2Systems Delivers LED Elevator Downlights
July 13, 2010... i2Systems of Montreal, Canada, is now shipping LED-based elevator downlights. i2Systems boasts that the elevator downlights chop energy consumption by 75 percent compared to conventional halogen models. The LED-based lights have an estimated lamp life of 50,000 hours compared to l1,000 hours for halogen. The new Apeiron A1161 fixtures utilize ANSI-binned Luxeon Rebel LEDs from Philips lumileds and supplied along with associated support services by Future Lighting Solutions.
The company points out that in-cab recessed lights account for as much as 70% of the energy costs involved in elevator operation. According to i2Systems, the use of its 5W recessed fixtures instead of 20W halogen versions makes it possible to light a six-downlight elevator cab with just 30W of power instead of 180W. The company also contends that the long Luxeon lifetime further reduces total cost of ownership by eliminating 19 out of 20 relampings, for a dramatic reduction in replacement bulb expenses and related labor costs.
