Werribee Civic Centre VIC lights up with Solar Powered LED lighting
Pecan Lighting LED GTSPL system provides an energy neutral lighting solution that translates into a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of over 7 tonnes annually from the 44 x GTSPL poles in the project. The lighting design showed that the 23w of LED in each LED luminaire produced more light, where it's needed, than 42w of CFL saving a further 3.6 tonnes annually. Pecan Lighting and Lateral Technology were able to provide an excellent outcome for the council by virtue of the combination of solar power and LED street lighting in the Pecan GTSPL system, this combination has the ability to revolutionise street lighting as we know it.
Solar energy is clean, inexhaustible and when converted into electricity, emissions free with the LED luminaire contributing; a very long lamp life, glare free white light for great visual acuity, accurate optical control for maximum pole spacing with excellent lighting uniformity and lighting distribution patterns to suit most lighting situations.
With the emergence of FIT (Feed in Tariff's) there now exists a situation whereby even under a Nett FIT, Pecan GTSPL systems can have the capability to generate revenue for the owner.
