OBJECTIVE AND SOLUTION

| Airports Company requested proposals for LED lighting in certain sections of OR Tambo airport to reduce power usage and maintenance costs.

| Areas chosen were areas that had existing fluorescent 4x36W T8 tubes and 2x26W compact fluorescent downlighters.

| Being an international airport lux levels had to meet strict requirements as well as longevity being a 24-hour operation.

| The existing fluorescent and CFL fittings were replaced with LED panels and downlighters.

| Samples were provided and the LED 85W and 40W panels were chosen in selected areas.

| For existing downlighters the 16W LED Optivalu downlighters were approved based on light outputs and warranties provided.

| Colour temperatures of 4000K were used to standardise with existing fixtures.

| The project was completed on time and within budget.
