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

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
