by Shane Henson — March 27, 2013—Aleddra LED Lighting, a business unit of Lightel Technologies Inc. and a manufacturer of light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, recently announced that its high-performance Star Highbay LED luminaire is now available in the North American market as an energy-efficient solution for high-bay lighting applications. The lamp is designed to replace traditional high-bay lighting in commercial and industrial applications such as factories, warehouses, supermarkets, exhibition halls and gymnasiums.
According to Patrick Yu, the company’s general manager, the Star Highbay LED luminaire builds on the company’s success with the LED T8 high bay that uses its popular EasiRetrofit LED T8 tube lamp.
“We are very excit[ed] with this new Star Highbay fixture,” he says. “Now, with this compact, beautifully designed high-bay fixture and its adjustable lighting angle, our customers have a wider selection to meet their high-bay lighting needs.”
With an efficacy of 90 lumens per watt, Aleddra Star Highbay at 135W provides 12,500 lumens and far exceeds the lighting requirements of industry standards, says the company. It comes with CRI>70 and a Power Factor > 0.9. By using top-of-the-line components such as CREE XTE LED chips and Philips Xitanium universal power supply, Aleddra Star Highbay is rated for more than 50,000 hours and backed by a five-year warranty. A rapid heat dissipation coating on the heat sink further prolongs the lifetime of the lamp. Aleddra says the combined benefit of Aleddra Star Highbay features is to greatly reduce the energy consumption and the maintenance cost for its customers, resulting in a quicker project payback period.
Additionally, the Aleddra Star Highbay fixture is engineered to meet a dust and water protection level greater than IP65 so it can be safely used for both indoor and outdoor environments. Various mounting styles (ceiling mount, surface mount, wall mount, pole mount) are available from Aleddra for meeting its customers’ application needs.
