Taking LEDs to the street
Thorn's range of Plurio urban lanterns has been expanded to include an LED version.
Using high-power LEDs (3000 lm, 45W, CRI 70, 4200K), precision optics and power reduction control gear the lantern is capable of achieving significant energy savings without compromising lighting levels and the quality of light.
Calculations show that a 74% energy saving, with no change to column spacings, can be achieved in residential streets by replacing an opal sphere employing a 125W mercury lamp with Plurio LED. Cost of ownership is further reduced by the 50,000hrs rated life - that's equivalent to over 12 years at 4,100 hours per annum usage - and minimised by an intelligent overheating protector.
The Plurio LED is also versatile, being available in two canopy styles with a choice of open area or street optics and matching columns and brackets.
