Practical application example:
Modernisation during continued operation in the Trier area
The conversion of the street lighting systems in the Trier area took place
gradually. Various BEGA pole-top luminaires, which had been in use for
many years, were equipped with LED lamps over the course of the
modernisation project. Before, the luminaires were fitted with conventional
lamps (70 watt halogen metal halide lamps, amongst others). For pole-top
luminaires like these, BEGA supplies custom LED conversion kits which,
from a technical perspective, bring the luminaires in line with successor
models available as standard.
The process
The switch to energy-efficient and high-performance LED technology
was carried out during ongoing operation.
BEGA only needs details about article numbers and production codes
to provide a suitable LED conversion kit.
All the necessary information has been documented on every luminaire’s
type plate for decades.
LED modules and new power supplies are available on site to replace the
conventional light sources.
In the Trier practical example, a recalculation of the lighting design
ensured that the illumination requirements could continue to be satisfied
and even exceeded.
The result
Step by step, the luminaires were able to be converted without much hassle
for the street lighting operator. The luminaires remained in operation –
regardless of whether they had already been converted or were still using
the original technology.
