Before you purchase a New LED Parking lot light fixture or a
LED Retrofit to replace your existing high energy HID lamps there are a few
things you need to think about before making that decision.
Is your lighting supplier asking you these questions?
At Neu-Tech Energy Solutions before we even think about
sending you a New LED Light Fixture or a LED Retrofit Light that fits into your
existing fixture we want to know a few things before we recommend a new Energy
Efficient LED Light.
Application Questions: What We Need To Know In Order To
Recommend The Right LED Light
1.
What is driving
your interest in LED technology?
a. My lights are burned out and need to do something?
b. I want to save money on electrical cost
c. I want to save money on lighting maintenance cost
d. I want to increase lighting for security reasons.
e. I want to comply to company initiative to be green
compliant.
Once we find out why you want to switch out your lights to
an LED we will need to know the following as we have multiple solutions for
your application,
·
What type of
lighting to you currently have?
a. HPS or MH – Helps us understand the color you want and
brightness needed for your application.
b. What is the approximate height of the fixture, not the
pole! This is important because of the lumens needed from the LED to get you
the right light to the ground area.
c. What is the approximate spacing of the poles in the
lot? Very important because a lot of older parking light applications have
poles that are too far apart and the light spread is not that good. We want to
correct this with the new lights if possible.
d. Are you interested in directing more light between
pole center lines? If yes we need discuss what kind of light you are actually
getting and what kind of light you really need. This all has to do with what
LED light we will recommend for your application. There are several options for
every application.
e. Once we find this out we can talk about what is best
for your application. Is it a LED Retrofit light or a new LED Fixture? Some new fixtures come with different optics
and have higher lumen counts.
f. Some of our new retrofits are coming out with dual
optics. What this means is we have choices. You may be lighting up your grass
more than you want. You might have dark spots in between two poles. We have the
answers to all these issues.
Should I tilt my light to get better lighting?
Well this can become very intrusive in some applications. In most cases Neu-Tech does not
recommend a replacement fixture to be tilted or aimed… lighting as this could
cause potential safety concerns. (blind spots)
When installed correctly our LED lights will minimize any glare and
cause no safety concerns.
Do You Have Security Concerns?
g. Are their camera’s on site. Cameras love LED lights.
You can actually see what you are filming.
h. Does the current fixture lighting supply ample
lighting for the camera viewing?
i.
