The Wedgewood concessions in Harrods
got its sparkle back thanks to Philips new lighting innovation, the lotus lens.
Making the switch from existing
halogen lamps to LED candles has resulted in a 74% reduction in installed
electrical load, reduced maintenance requirements and considerably lower heat
gains.
Wedgewood, a luxury home and
lifestyle brand light their retail space using chandeliers that are also part
of their lighting product range. The chandeliers must look their best,
providing good lighting in order to attract customers.
“When the Wedgwood concession was opened the
chandeliers were fitted with 15 watt halogen candle lamps,” recalled Harrods
Engineering Technical Manager Mark Fleming.
“These provided the required visual effect but
their high heat output meant the air conditioning was unable to maintain
comfortable conditions. The inherent inefficiency of halogen lamps also meant
that energy was being wasted,” he continued.
At first the 208 halogen lamps were
replaced with standard LED candles, sadly these failed to match the sparkling appearance
of the previous halogen light source. Philips then presented Harrods with the
new MASTER LED candle which features a diamond shaped acrylic lotus lens
specially designed to provide extra sparkle. Through replacing the old 15 watt halogen
lamps with 4 watt MASTER LED candles, Harrods has reduced both its electrical
load and energy consumption. Due to the removal of the high heat halogen lamps,
this switch has also reduced the energy consumption of the air conditioning. Another
benefit of the LED switch-over is down to the MASTER LED’s 20,000 hour life
span, increasing the period between lamp replacements and saving on maintenance
costs.
Harrods Engineering Technical
Manager Mark Fleming says: “The chandeliers now look brilliant and the shop
floor staff is very happy with the new candle lamps. We will be specifying them
for all of the chandeliers throughout the store in the future”.
