Workstation Custom LED Lighting Retrofit Solution
Key Features - Medical Device Workstation Custom LED Lighting Retrofit Solution
Application – Work-station Lighting
End-user – Medical Instrument Company – multiple work stations requiring lighting upgrade
Partner – National Lighting Services Company
Project Overview
- Objective – Improve illumination of work station areas while maintaining the flexibility for reconfiguring work-stations as needed with no electrician involvement.
- Incumbent Technology – Nothing or old under-cabinet T8 fluorescents.
- Problem – Provide plug-in task light in specific lengths with integrated power supply. Customer desires to turn On/Off all fixtures (up to 6) in an area with one power strip. Power level and color rendering important to insure adequate light distribution and quality.
- Challenge – Volumes are at 100 or less, not enough to justify a completely custom fixture, but enough to warrant some minor modifications. Need to use an existing fixture and configure to use a plug-in, wall-wart style power supply.
Solution – The Awning Illuminator structure and light output will work well for this application. It is a low-profile heat-sink extrusion which can be designed to various lengths. The flex strip used emits a significant amount of light, >400 lumens/foot.
- Using Duris E5 LEDs, the Awning Illuminator was configured to a 45” length to provide more than 1700 lumens at 20W.
- A plug-in power supply was adapted to the end of the cable providing adequate length to reach the power strip in the work area.
- Installation achieved the goal of plug-in only and no electrician involvement.
- Cost – Minimized by selecting an off-the-shelf power supply, use of existing extrusion and LED strip designs. Custom size accomplished at little or no additional cost.
