Details:
Light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires present new challenges for those maintaining outdoor and roadway-lighting systems. In other luminaire types, maintenance crews often clean the luminaires when they do a bulk or single relamp, so the lamp life drives the cleaning schedule. However, LED-based luminaires are being marketed as lasting longer and requiring less maintenance than other luminaire types. As a result, they will be exposed longer to environmental dirt and other contaminants that can adhere to the luminaire and reduce the amount of light that reaches the road. This creates a different maintenance paradigm for LED luminaires, and their potential for dirt depreciation should be carefully investigated. This presentation considers the approach, and methods, as well as research results studying dirt depreciation. These results are discussed in the context of today’s changing roadway lighting environment, and makes recommendations to stakeholders in roadway lighting regarding LDD for LED luminaires.
Who should attend:
- Engineers, Lighting Designers;
- Municipality and Facility Managers and Maintenance Personel;
- Electrical Contractors and installers;
- Anyone involved with outdoor lighting and its current challenges.
Food & Drinks: Lunch will be provided as part of the cost. Please send us a message if you have any dietary restrictions.
Location: The seminar will at the Executive Royal Hotel – Edmonton.
