ZEB Ballasts Save money and the planet!

It is now over 5 years ago that Zodion introduced its ZEB range of electronic streetlighting ballasts.  Since then they have proved remarkably successful and reliable.  The principal reason for specifying electronic control gear is the energy saving that can be made. 



John Fox Zodion's Managing Director commented. "I am rather proud of the statistic that the installed base of Zodion's electronic ballasts saves over 3GWh of electricity annually, and have reduced CO2 emissions by over 2,400 Tonnes.  Over 30% of these ballasts can be directly connected to the Vizion CMS system and further energy savings can be achieved through the implementation of variable lighting levels".   John continued to explain "Vizion is much more than just a method of implementing variable lighting levels, it provides a complete Central Management System.  It is a very competent system which has been specifically developed considering the needs of streetlighting authorities".

Enlightened NE Lincolnshire CC

When North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) was looking to source an environmentally friendly, energy saving street lighting system it turned to award winning Zodion Lighting for expert help and advice.

NELC, is responsible for around 19,000 street lights. As Steve Redferan, Highway Services Manager, responsible for the council's street lighting department, explained: "Zodion's Vizion central telemanagement system (which utilises wireless technology to monitor and control street lighting remotely) provided many of the key elements we were looking for. An agreement was reached to evaluate the system and over the past few months an initial 200 'nodes' have been fitted in and around the streets of Grimsby and Immingham by contractors, J McCann.

Steve added: "Vizion acts as a 'communications system' for monitoring, reporting and controlling street lighting over the internet. We are finding the system is reliable and offers safety benefits whereby inspectors don't have to patrol the streets on foot at night checking for faulty lightsin areas covered by the remote monitoring installation".


John Fox, managing director of Zodion said: "We were delighted that our product was selected for this trial by NELC. Experience has shown that customers want to be able to operate street lights in the most efficient way possible and keep streets well lit and safe. With soaring costs of electricity, reducing energy consumption is no longer an option but a necessity and makes good financial and environmental sense. The use of central management systems is a potential long term solution and NELC are wisely looking to adopt such techniques in order to make significant reductions in energy usage and consequently reduce CO2 emissions."We are confident that the trial will prove to an all round success and that the Council will go on to convert many more of the street lighting across NE
Lincolnshire."

New LUMO-LEDs Range

LUMO has launched an exciting range of lights designed specifically for LEDs.

Light emitting semi-conductor diodes (LEDs) have rapidly evolved to become a very effective light source. Originally confined to specialist applications they are now used in a variety of consumer applications.

Recognising the benefits of low consumption and exceptional life, LUMO has produced some superbly engineered light fittings specifically tailored to this exciting light source.

As LUMO understands the performance needs of leisure vehicle users, it has ensured that the LEDs selected for these fittings have very high output and cannot be confused with 'indicator' LEDs.

Caravan Salon Success

LUMO lighting made its exhibition debut at the Caravan Salon exhibition in Dusseldorf Germany, which ran from 27 August to 4 September 2005.

"We had a very successful show. Both the new awning light and our new range of spotlights caused extra-ordinary interest. We met many old friends, some forgotten friends, and many who we hope will become friends! Many thanks to everyone who visited our stand," said Managing Director John Fox.

"The new products introduced at the Dusseldorf show have been designed to complement existing fittings and extend the application of our products. Several feature LEDs - a long life vibration resistant light source - cleverly designed into a number of fitting styles to gain the benefit of their high intensity and extremely low consumption," John added.
