Potential Opportunities and Benefits for Towns and Cities
R E D U C T I O N O F E N V I R O N M E N TA L B U R D E N
There is no city or town that doesn’t feel the budget crunch of increasing energy prices. In particular, the illumination of public spaces cuts deeply into
budgets. More efficient alternatives have been available for a good while. However, there has been no better time than today to upgrade. Hess AG
currently offers luminaires with which energy use can be cut by more than fifty percent, which represents a drastic reduction in fixed public spending
expenses.
Four alternatives are available to improve efficiency:
1. A completely new lighting design plan with greater spacing distances between the lighting units
2. Replacement of the poles and luminaires
3. Replacement of just the luminaires
4. Retrofitting of existing luminaires with new components
via drastically decreased energy consumption, lower carbon dioxide emissions,
minimum light pollution.
Investment in new lighting is well worth the money, as it will pay for itself within a very short time.

RESIDENZA
Stuttgart’s downtown is a prime example of how advantageous retrofitting with modern
luminaires can be. The City replaced numerous lighting fixtures with Hess’s RESIDENZA
M luminaire. Besides its precise light control, the new luminaire enabled the City to use
lower watt sources, while cutting carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption.
In addition, the existing poles could be used and several of the lighting units could be
eliminated altogether.

NOVARA
The Town of Flims in Switzerland refurbished the lighting on the main street through
town. Already once in the past, the existing luminaires had been relamped with new
light sources, but the town was not satisfied with the results. This time they installed
the NOVARA S fixtures, which can be dimmed for additional savings – a benefit that
pleases the town treasurer.

The City of Löbau replaced 15 old luminaires from the former German Democratic
Republic. The old lighting fixtures had no covers and were fitted with poor reflectors,
which made high wattage lamps with high connected loads necessary.
The new streetlights cut electricity costs by more than 33 percent and significantly
improved the lighting. Moreover, only a few years are required before the investment
will have paid for itself.

St. Louis, France upgraded the lighting in its industrial area and on the main
thoroughfare, replacing different models with a single model. In the past, the
luminaires had been relamped with HST light sources, but the modern Hess
reflectors proved more effective, providing the same lighting while cutting the
wattage down to 150 W.

In 2003, Hess introduced the world’s first LED streetlight, MILLENNIO, on the
market. Early on, Hess realized the enormous potential offered by LEDs. With
its many years of experience, Hess maintains a position at the forefront of
LED innovation. The MILLENNIO luminaires were installed along a link road in
Lillehammer.

To achieve perfect lighting, the optimum combination of the following factors is required:
1. LIGHTING DESIGN
Comprehensive, computer simulated lighting plan calculations performed by Hess provide the basis for efficient lighting solutions. Hess evaluates
the status and potential of the existing system and situation, applying the information to make accurate calculations for the specific project.
Efficient luminaires permit greater spacing distances between the lighting units, meaning fewer luminaires are required and less labour and
maintenance are required for even greater savings.
2. LIGHT SOURCES
Efficient lamps save energy and thereby money. Mercury vapour lamps are still used a great deal today, although they are grossly inefficient. Viable
alternatives are: metal halide, high-pressure sodium, efficient fluorescent and LED light sources.
3. R EF LECTO RS
Hess’s reflectors direct the light exactly where it is required, reducing light pollution and loss to a minimum while delivering superior efficacy.
4. MODERN CONTROL GEAR
Energy saving control gear is essential to cutting lighting costs. Inefficient control gear and old wiring should be replaced. Electronic ballasts are
much more efficient, long lasting and constant.
Of course, at the forefront of improving the efficiency of lighting is the
reduction of energy expense and carbon dioxide emissions.
In addition, replacement of old systems produces a significant improvement in
the quality of lighting. Improved optical conditions increase safety
– in particular traffic safety – as well as the comfort of the citizens.
Hess’s answer: Optimum lighting planning and employment of new lighting
systems for the efficient use of light output with electricity savings of fifty
percent.
5. QUALITY OF WORKMANSHIP
Outdoor lighting fixtures must hold up to a host of extreme conditions. The degree to which dust and dirt are able to ingress the luminaire, which
directly affects the efficiency, is of course dependant on the luminaire’s gasket and construction. Hess luminaires are manufactured to the highest
possible quality standards. Their carefully engineered design and solid built construction guarantee unmatched durability. Moreover, they feature
tool-less, ultra-quick maintenance, which significantly cuts operating costs.
6. LIGHTING CONTROL
Combined with intelligent light management systems, Hess street lighting luminaires are extremely versatile, automatically adjusting to the particular conditions, such as time of day, weather and traffic to provide the operator with additional savings. The simplest form of light control is the
conventional practice of using electrical relays for low traffic times of the night.
EFFICIENT
SERA reflector.
Optical systems, such as the Sera system from Hess,
use the light more effectively, directing it only where
it is needed and thereby enabling the use of sources
with reduced wattage for the same level of brightness.
