Premier Lighting Case Study: HID Pole Light LED Retrofit
Customer Profile:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is a Christian restorationist church that is considered by its followers to be the restoration of the original church founded by Jesus Christ. The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, and has established congregations and built temples worldwide.
Goal:
Those in charge of the Minnesota LDS congregations wanted to take a look at options for their outdoor pole lighting. Their existing HID poles were inefficient and did not provide sufficient lighting to secure the facilities. Between the ballasts and HID lamps themselves, they were looking to cut down on the frequency of servicing the fixtures.
Solution:
Premier's analysis concluded that the best solution would be to keep the existing pole fixtures but retrofit them to LED. The majority of the fixtures were a shoebox with 250W metal halide bulbs within that were facing downward, so a 180° LED Arc Cob was the ideal choice. A portion of the HID lamps were omni-directional, so 360° LED Omni Cobs were necessary for this application. For both solutions, the HID ballast was bypassed and the LED bulbs were screwed in direct.
