Questions

LEDs not new discovered in 1907 by British scientist Henry Round who worked for Marconi.

1927 Russian Oleg Losev created first LED

1929 Soviet Patent granted

1962 First Commercial LED produced by Texas Instruments

1962 The first Red LED produced by GE

1968 - Beginning of mass production by Monsanto Company

the first Blue/White LED that the modern LED was born.

Brief History of LED Lighting

Types of LEDs

What type of light do we think of when LEDs

are mentioned?

Downlights?

Maybe bulbs?

Why?

LEDs are typically directional making

them great for spotlighting!

Today any luminaire type is likely

to have an LED alternative

Types of LEDs.cont

Surface Mounted Diode SMD LED

Chip on Board COB LED

Multi Chip on Board MCOB LED

Types of LEDs Examples

Downlights

Bulbs

Highbays

LED Panels

LED Tubes

LED Shoplights

To Retrofit or Not that is the Question!!?

Compatibility of fitting

Age of Fitting

Light distribution of Retrofit

Cost of new fitting

The Right Option? Considerations

Efficiency (measured in Watts)

Lighting Efficacy (Lumens per Watts)

CRI (Colour Rendering Index # between 0 100)

Colour Temperature (Kelvin)

Angle of Light beam (degrees)

What to look for on the specification sheet

Comparing LED products

LED Type & Driver

Quality of Heat Sink (Material Used)

Certifications

Life Claims backed by LM80 & TM21 Projections

Case Study 1 helloworld Sunbury

CS1 Before & After

BEFORE

AFTER

CS1 Was it Worth it?

Light levels improved;

Maintenance costs improved;

Around a 3 year payback (excluding maintenance savings!)

Average bill of $220 per month now $165

Just ask Barry!!

Case Study 2 Spotlight Laverton

200W Induction

Lighting Used;

10m High Ceilings

50% energy saving

Case Study 3 Deakin University

400W High Bays replaced with

100W LED lamps

75% saving in energy

Only 6m high ceilings

Job completed Dec 2011! Use of LEDs is not new.

Case Study 4 Hydro Tasmania

Office Installation;

Over 900 x 42W LED Panels Used across

12 floors;

~50% reduction in energy

Positive effect on staff
