Future Lighting Solutions and Tairis complete outdoor LED lighting project for city park in Brazil

One of the main goals of the project included demonstrating to the city mayor and other officials the many advantages of solid-state lighting technology, particularly in regard to energy savings and reduced maintenance costs, as well as city beautification. Future Lighting Solutions and Philips Lumileds played a pivotal role in the development and proof of concept for the new outdoor fixtures, while Tairis handled the manufacturing and installation. Future Lighting Solutions’ exclusive Usable Light Tool (ULT) was critical in providing the data needed in order to determine the most effective and efficient products to be implemented in the project. The new park, comprising 12,500 square meters in the city of Vinhedo, is used as a recreational area for the local population. 39 poles were installed, with 4 LIRA 8 models in each one, for a total of 156 @ 75W fixtures. 1,247 LUXEON M’s were used, chosen for their lumen/W and lumen/$ ratios. Other products selected based on their superior performance include Philips Xitanium drivers and Ledil’s Strada optics.
