LED Fixtures & Controls • Presenter : Brian Webber, President, Ecopower Inc. (est. 1992) • member Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters Energy Committee • member CSA TC 419 Lighting Fixtures • member NRCAN Canadian Lighting Initiative Collaborative ‘CLIC’ (Ottawa) • LED Lighting Technology developer, manufacturer, London Ontario Canada
What is Ecopower? • MANUFACTURER OF LED LIGHTING FIXTURES & CONTROLS, • CSA/UL APPROVED • DISTRIBUTOR OF LED LIGHTING FIXTURES & CONTROLS • PROJECT DEVELOPER • PROMOTER OF THE SAVE ON ENERGY PROGRAM IN ONTARIO
Facility Lighting Principles • Light levels are measured in lumens , lux & footcandles • Illuminance is the amount of light that is cast onto an object
Facility Lighting Principles • Minimum light levels are established by governing bodies usually originating from Illuminating Engineers Society Standards (IES Lighting Handbook)
Facility Lighting Principles • Light sources such as fluorescents, HIDS and LEDS degrade in output over time (lumen maintenance) at different rates then some fail • LEDs don’t typically fail, they degrade
Facility Lighting Principles • In 1970 IES recommended 100 maintained foot candles in an office environment, today offices require 30 – 50 FC • Range of FC for each space is based on the level of activity in that space and whether its day or night
Facility Lighting Principles • Parking lots .5fc-2fc , Covered Parking 5-50fc, Stairways 10-20fc, Exterior aisles, passageways & recesses (CPTED) = .6fc, Warehousing Aisles 10 -20fc, General Manufacturing 25 – 45 fc, Entrances 25fc, Hallways 25 – 30 fc, Offices 30 -50fc, • Uniformity ratios of 4:1 to 15:1 are common (avg. to min, max. to min.)
LED Advancements • Commercially introduced in 1962 as a red Light Emitting Diode (Nick Holonyak, Jr. GE) sold for $ 200.00 @ • Super Bright White LEDs are typically blue LEDS covered in phospor (1995 - 2006) • HPLEDS are mounted /packaged to be easily integrated onto printed circuit boards/heat sinks (1995 – Present)
LED Advancements • Cree, Philips/LumiLED, OSRAM, Samsung and Seoul Semiconductor are proven HPLED manufacturers and collectively represent over 50% of the worldwide production of LEDs • “The global market for solid-state lighting (SSL) illumination incorporating LEDs will more than triple from $283.95m in 2007 to $936.95m in 2012, despite strongly rising unit growth being partially offset by the continuing decline in average selling prices, according to a new forecast from market research firm ElectroniCast Consultants. “
LED Advancements 2007 - 2010 • Nano imprint lithography, a process of creating billions of holes in the LED to improve light extraction, coupled with improvements in heat management such as pulse cooling and room temperature lab results of 208 lumens per watt bode well for the replacement of most light sources with LEDs this decade
Product Application • Commercial drop ceiling fixtures can be retrofit using linears or replaced with LED lighting panels • General large space lighting (warehousing, logistics, cold storage) can utilize HiBay LED • Outdoor parking lots, roadway and security lighting can be lit effectively using LED fixtures
INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL LED LIGHTING OPPORTUNITY • Facility lighting accounts for 20% + of total load • 60% to 80% on average kW reduction implementing LED • 30% adoption rate equals industrial commercial load reductions of 6% overall • LED instant ON, dimmable, wireless or wired control, daylight harvesting, scheduling • No UV or XRAY spectrum, healthier = certified Seasonal Affective Disorder therapy • No mercury • RoHS Certified (in most cases) • Reduced/eliminated maintenance and recycling costs
INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL LED LIGHTING OPPORTUNITY • No capital cost financing programs available from such companies as MCAP/RBC and companies running ESPCs – Energy Savings Performance Contracting
Sample Pricing • 2’x2’ LED panels range from $ 240.00 to $500.00. Paybacks 2–5 year range • Linear retrofit kits from $ 45.00 to $ 280.00. Paybacks in the 3-5 year range • HiBays/Aisle lighters where a 1 for 1 replacement is completed; $ 399.00 to $1,800.00 . Paybacks from 1 – 4 years • Parking lot, street lighting and security lighting $ 400-$800.00 with an 7-10 year payback
Environmental Impact • Reduce energy consumption/GHG emissions • Fluorescents, including CFLs/FL/HID/HPS have a min. 4 mg of mercury in each bulb • 6 billion mercury bulbs, <20% recycled, >2000Kgs of mercury in environment, 4 mg pollutes 6000 gallons fresh water, 2000KGS pollute trillions of gallons of water
Adoption • Ecopower has dedicated over 2.5 million dollars to the development of LED lighting technology that outperforms traditional light sources • As a proud Ontario manufacturer of LED lighting fixtures and controls we are pursuing relationships with LDCs and their industrial and commercial clients • We are passionately dedicated to the adoption of LED lighting technology that results in reduced energy consumption, increased competitiveness, a healthier workplace and a reduction in GHG emissions
