The historical building now has luminaires that are looking the same as the
old lights. But the new LEDVANCE solution provides significant energy savings whilst lasting longer and can be used with any lighting control system.

THE CHALLENGE

The old lamps originally installed at the iconic train station were failing frequently and changing them required specialist lift equipment which, for health and safety reasons, could only be used at certain times of the night when the concourse was empty. The station needed new luminaires that were far more reliable and energy efficient, but to keep in line with the original appearance of the building, they had to look the same as the old lamps.

THE SOLUTION

LEDVANCE LED HIGHBAY solutions have been installed across platforms 1-8 at London’s historic Kings Cross Station in a move that will significantly reduce maintenance costs and energy consumption while future-proofing the building’s illumination systems. Over 160 High Bay DALI 155W, 4000K LEDs and reflectors have been installed, providing energy savings of up to 60% compared to conventional high bay luminaires. LEDVANCE High Bay solutions also offer the flexibility of being dimmable and can switch on and off instantly, allowing savings to be realised through daylight and occupancy-dependent operation.

THE BENEFITS

While looking the same as the old lights, the new High Bay units use much less electricity and last far longer, providing a constant luminous flux across their fiveyear guaranteed lifespan. Thanks to their
DALI-2 certification, they can also be used with any lighting-control system that may be installed in the future. Also the LEDVANCE High Bay LEDs need replacing less frequently leading to maintenance cost savings.

SUMMARY

The LEDVANCE High Bay luminaire provided the ideal solution to energy efficiencies and lowering maintenance costs whilst also keeping to its original appearance.
