The Challenges
Variable Lighting Needs Plus Efficiency Targets
Given its variable and dynamic uses, several events may happen in one night, while only the walking trails would be used the next. This posed a complex lighting challenge.
- A single solution was required to illuminate the park to current standards while achieving significant energy and maintenance cost savings.
- The selected light fixtures had to be controlled to achieve the necessary targets.
- Lighting also had to be aesthetically pleasing as an extension of the park’s natural beauty.
The Solution
Tailored Controls With Hadco LED Post Tops
DMA proposed Hadco’s LED Post Tops for their decorative appeal, modular features, performance, reliability, and warranty.
- The luminaires are powered through several circuits, leveraging LED’s exceptional manageability.
- This manageability allowed several areas within the park to be turned off when not needed.
- DMA’s support and solution expertise, coupled with Hadco by Signify’s quality and reputation, were the key drivers of the decision.
The Result
Dynamic Lighting Throughout the Entire Park
- Saves on annual energy and maintenance costs
- Meets targets for environmental sustainability
- Provides uniform lighting throughout the entire expanse
- Creates a greater sense of safety along walking trails for park visitors
Going to LED was a no-brainer. It is a great thing to deliver useful, uniform light in a public space that is not overwhelming, providing our park visitors with a sense of safety and environmental sustainability. And we could achieve all this while saving energy and maintenance costs at the same time.
