Business Park Lighting

Monday, November 21st, 2011

Braehead is a newly refurbished area of Glasgow, Scotland.  In the main business park, VeeLite Car park lighting was supplied to provide high illumination levels with good quality white light output.  The 400w Car park Lights are installed on 10m Columns. 

Because of the high efficiency of these Luminaires, poles can be spaced at wide intervals providing a saving in Capital and installation costs, as well on on-going energy and maintenance savings.  The Luminaires have unique non-glare features so they can be installed next to busy roadways and on this Project, there is a busy dual carraigeway adjacent to 3 sides of the site.

The Car park Luminaires are constructed in robust die cast aluminium and have an attractive modern appearance to compliment the new Buildings.

LED Street lighting

Sunday, November 13th, 2011

Recent extensions at St Lomans Hospital used VeeLites low profile LED street light luminaires.   These 90w LED Street lights on 5m Poles  provide approx 30 Lux average with good unformity (c. 30%), low glare and high efficiency.  

The high quality white light colour emitted has significant advantages over traditional HPS street lighting as it enables clear ‘daylight type’ recognition of colours which helps to identify Pedestrians, objects, etc.  LED lighting also minimises maintenance and relamping with its expected life of 60,000 hours average (or typically 16 years).  This is double the life time of HPS and 3 or 4 times  the lifetime of Metal Halide. 

As an option, LED Street lighting can also be controlled by Occupancy Sensor to provide significant energy saving and switching off when it is not required.   Frequent switching is not a problem with LED lighting but is not possible with traditional HPS or Metal Halide lighting.

VeeLite’s illuminated LED Bollards are supplied in 15w version as standard. With optional Sensor control, they usually operate at 1.5w, providing significant energy savings as well as almost maintenance free lighting. 

VeeLite also supplies LED Carpark Luminaires, LED Groundlights and LED Floodlights.
