Premier Lighting Case Study: LED Recessed Downlights
|
|
Customer Profile:
The Lino Lakes YMCA offers group exercise classes, personal training, swim lessons and other great fitness and community building programs.
Goal:
The YMCA in Lino Lakes had a primary goal of saving energy and reducing maintenance hours spent with the lighting in the lobby area, as well as to improve the light levels of the locker room areas.
Assessment:
The lobby and locker rooms at the YMCA were being lit by 32W 277v CFL plug-in lamps in a recessed can. The compact fluorescent light bulbs in the recessed cans became brittle over time, making maintenance a pain. They were also interested in the ability to dim the lights which would have been costly with their current set up. Given that the recessed cans are 277 volt, the options to do all this are limited.

LED Replacements for Fluorescent Emergency Lighting
| |
Many have come to the conclusion in 2015 that it is time to replace their fluorescent tube lighting with LED lighting. There are quite a few options to choose from, but the most common has been to replace their linear fluorescent lighting with Type B LED T8 Tubes. The Type B LED tubes operate directly on the line voltage, bypassing the fluorescent ballast. In addition to the energy savings from fluorescent, this cuts down significantly on maintenance costs compared to other LED options (Type A LED T8 lighting requires continued use of a compatible fluorescent ballast).
Often times fluorescent fixtures have emergency lighting capabilities with an emergency battery backup ballast that turns on a portion of the lighting during a power failure. The issue with converting to Type B LED lighting is they operate on direct line voltage so you can't have a battery backup control these tubes. That can be a major issue if it is overlooked as you need to have emergency lighting by code.
So if you decide on Type B LED tubes and you run across an emergency fluorescent fixture, how do you proceed with the project?
