New LED High-Bay Luminaire from Cooper Lighting and Safety
Cuts Energy and Maintenance Costs
DONCASTER, UK, October 2010 – The new LED High-Bay luminaire from Cooper Lighting and
Safety, a business unit of Cooper Safety, has been designed to provide major reductions in both
energy consumption and maintenance requirements, as well as a number of other significant benefits
when compared with traditional HID luminaires.
Utilising multi-die LED chip array technology, the new luminaire achieves a low power consumption of
just 142W, resulting in energy savings of 65% when used in place of a 400W metal-halide luminaire.
LED High-Bay delivers instant white light with no restrike or run-up delay, and it offers a long service
life free from the need for lamp changes. Its ability to operate at temperatures down to -30degC
makes it ideal for use in cold stores, though it is equally suitable for general high-bay applications in
ambient temperatures up to +30degC.
Comprising an IP65-sealed head unit and a remote IP20 gear box, the luminaire enables light output
to be adjusted through separate switching or dimming of the LED arrays, with performance optimised
by a choice of lens and reflector designs to suit racking aisles or open areas. Unlike HID luminaires,
LED High-Bay can also be specified with an integrated 3-hour maintained emergency option.
Measuring just 480 x 325 x 100mm, the compact head unit features a robust die-cast aluminium
housing, with a white RAL9016 powder-coast paint finish.
