| MasterLED GLS |
International Student House (ISH), London accommodates
university students and interns from over 100 different countries. ISH is not
just a place to stay, it is a social and culture centre which holds lectures,
debates, themed suppers and culture nights. The ISH has its very own bistro which
by day is a busy modern restaurant transforming into a lively nightclub in the
evening. Due to its multipurpose use, the lighting installed in the bistro can
often be on for almost 24 hours a day.
ISE is committed to reducing its environmental impact and
carbon emissions. As part of an £180,000 refurbishment of the ISH’s ground
floor, LED lighting was installed in the bistro area. The LED switchover has
doubled lighting levels, reduced power consumption by 84%, delivered savings of
over £1,000 per annum and cut carbon emissions by almost 6,300kg a year. The
lighting engineers opted to use Philips’ MasterLED bulb, MasterLED spot and Latina
LED down-lighters.

Philips’ Latina down-lighters were installed in the server
area as they fit perfectly with its new design. The costly GLS pendant down-lighters
in the server area were retrofitted with Philips MasterLED 8 watt lamps. Before
the LED switch-over the dining area was lit with over 100 50 watt halogen down-lighters,
the replacement lamps needed to illuminate the space during the day and not
impact the night club ambiance in the evenings. With energy saving in mind, ISE
opted to install Philips MasterLED spot GU10 7 watts lamps and remove the
existing energy consuming halogen lamps.
