Parking garage Circus equipped with RentAlite’s LED lighting

Multiple car parks in the city of Groningen are being equipped with LED lighting. Students of the Alpha College just replaced 1800 fixtures in the car park Boterdiep and now working on the re-lighting of the Circus car park. For the electrical engineering students it is a learning-work project.
The municipality of Groningen wants to save significantly on energy and Co2 and wants to achieve the 2020 target. Apart from energy, the municipality also saves money on maintenance. Now they have to replace daily 5 to 10 fluorescent tubes. With the new LED fixtures this belongs to the past because these lamps have a much longer optimized lifespan of 100.000 hours (11 years with 24/7 lighting).
By switching to LED with a 1 to 1 replacement in the car park an average lux level of 104 lux and a uniformity of 0.4 are being achieved with a saving of 79% on energy and C02 compared to the current T8 fluorescent lighting. A number of the fixtures will be provided with an integrated battery for emergency lighting.
