LED High Mast Lighting / LED Street Lighting

ewo, a manufacturer of high-quality light systems for public areas, is for the first time using its “T-System” LEDs for large area illumination of a central traffic hub in Calcinate, Italy.

The project, developed in cooperation with the planning office Battistini and commissioned by the Province of Bergamo, is setting a new benchmark in terms of energy-efficient lighting offering a 40% saving in energy compared with conventional NAV floodlight systems

In the Calcinate project, two “T-System” installations were used with a mounting height of 22 m and a respective connected load of 3,283 W for the illumination of the central roundabout. In total, the systems illuminate an area of over 20,000 m2.

The products are complemented by 24 “FO” systems on the approach roads.

Ing. Alain Mazzocchi, the responsible project manager of the Province of Bergamo, is clearly delighted about the potential energy saving of the installation: “With the LED solution we are able to make an energy saving of over 40%, compared to the originally planned solution.”

One reason for deciding on the “T-System” was also the modular concept developed by ewo which convinced the planners. “T-System” is fitted with the required number of LED modules for each project based on the illumination requirements. In this way, it is possible to finely tune the performance in stages to ensure that the system only uses as much energy as is required to fulfil the prerequisites. By splitting into single modules, the system can be partially exchanged for maintenance without the need to exchange the entire system.

What was used were LED system modules by cor light, a subsidiary of ewo that works in the sector of the development and marketing of LED technology.

The highly-efficient modules work with large area refractive optics that achieve a precise distribution of light. The DP31 module was used for both T-Systems, having been specially developed for large area illumination to provide a medium lighting factor of 20 lx in accordance with EN 13201 (classification CE2). The DS31 system module was used for the FO series products, which was designed for street illumination: the approach roads are illuminated in compliance with the ME3a classification.

The LED system modules are powered with 350 mA reaching an output of 10.8 W. 9 CREE XP-G LEDs were installed per module, each with an output of 139 lm/LED (6000 K).
