RedRock Casino Gets AC-LED Festoon Lamps from Lynk Labs

Author: SSLDesign News Staff

July 16, 2010... Casinos are an ideal place for LED lighting. They require lighting 24-hours-per-day to keep their patrons gambling. Nedco Supply in Las Vegas chose LED lamps from Lynk Labs Inc. to provide accent and cove lighting for RedRock Casino in Las Vegas. Specifically, Nedco Supply installed some 15,000 of Lynk Labs' GeoLite line of AC-LED Festoon replacement lamps throughout the casino, according to Susan Larson, Director of Sales at Lynk Labs Inc. Lynk Labs contends that the 0.5W AC-LED Festoon delivers the equivalent amount of light of a standard 5W xenon festoon at one-tenth of the power. The AC-LED lamp has an estimated lifetime is 30,000 hours, compared with 1000 hours for the xenon alternative.

“This 0.5 watt AC-LED lamp was a simple and seamless retrofit solution for us in the existing low-voltage 12VAC embedded infrastructure existing throughout the casino,” said Curtis Saunders of Nedco Supply. “These AC-LED lamps were easily installed into the existing lamp sockets, operate with the existing 12VAC transformers and dim on the existing dimmers in the casino,” said Curtis. “The return on investment for this retrofit was under 12 months on energy alone (75 kW reducing to 7.5 kW). If you included man hours and lamp replacement cost, the retrofit paid for itself as soon as it was completed!” Curtis added.

Lynk Labs claims that its AC-LED technology reduces these challenges and complexities faced by lighting distributors and contractors with its true "Plug n' Play" AC-LED lighting systems that it says simplify or improve system integration, reliability, thermal management, weight reduction, and lighting-system scalability for the AC-voltage lighting infrastructure.

“The GeoLite Festoon AC-LED lamps work on several forms of standard festoon sockets and are available in 12VAC and 24VAC with CCT values of 2700K, 3000K or 4000K,” added Susan Larson.
