LED Lighting / LED High Mast Lighting

Yakutsk, the capital of the Sakha Republic, is located in Russia’s Far Eastern Federal District. Winter temperatures as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius are measured here, which had led to problems in all of the luminaires previously used.

ewo took up the gauntlet, and developed a new solution: the operating device for the F32 floodlight was removed, installed into an external driver box and provided with a temperature sensor that operates a heating element. This allows the driver box to be held at a constant temperature, eliminating problems with the luminaires turning on – even in extreme cold.

Thule Air Base in Greenland is the United States’ northernmost base; it is situated 885 km east of the North Magnetic Pole. The military base was completed in 1953, and has been part of Air Force Space Command since 1992. It primarily safeguards important infrastructure of the ballistic missile defense program run by the United States and Canada.

The complex also includes a 407-meter-high transmission mast for military long-wave radio; it is the highest mast north of the Arctic Circle in the Western Hemisphere. ewo developed a new lighting solution for a hangar apron at the base. In order to ensure reliable functioning, the operating devices of the floodlights were integrated into a switchboard in the hangar and connected to the luminaires on the hangar wall via a heating cable.

Once again here, ewo is a pioneer when it comes to managing particularly difficult lighting situations. For further informations please visit our website: www.ewo.com
