Lighting | Ciall Energy Saving Ireland

Energy Saving With Energy Efficient Lamps/Fittings & Intelligent Lighting Controls

Lighting can account for up to 2/3rds of your annual electricity bill. It is sometimes difficult to imagine how much we use lighting and how easy it is to use more efficiently. Ciall can help you save up to 75% of your annual lighting bill. This can be achieved by changing how lighting is used, controlled and what type of lamps and fittings are in place. Ciall will carry out a full survey of your premises and make recommendations on how to reduce your Energy bills. Finally Ciall will produce a detailed quotation and payback schedule for all the lighting works required.

Pay back on most alterations can be between 6 months and two years. If you're undertaking a new build Ciall can design an energy efficient lighting system from day one. See below for more information on how savings can be achieved. Please contact us to request a survey.

Lighting Automation & Potential Savings

The use of lighting control can help further extend the lamp life of the bulb.

Soft start eliminates the initial switch – on current surge (filament shock) that exists when a cold lamp filament conducts approximately ten times it’s steady state current until reaching it’s full colour temperature after about 150 milli – seconds. All iLight dimmers incorporate “soft start” electronics and testing reported that for one type of halogen lamp with a rated life of 2000 hours dimmed to 25% has a life extension of about four times that of a non – dimmed lamp.

The following chart briefly documents the trade off between dimmed levels versus energy savings and lamp life.

Percentage Dimmed	Energy Saving	Lamp Life Increase
10%	10%	2x
25%	20%	4x
50%	40%	20x
75%	60%	>20x

Lighting Management systems can result in further energy saving for commercial buildings by:

The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy Emerging Technologies Report Integrated Daylighting Systems reports theoretical savings of 52% for installing a control system. They further report that similar studies point to energy savings as follows:

Scheduling and light level tuning: 10–25%
Fewer fixtures or workstation control: 0–35%
Daylight harvesting: 12–17% (35% in daylit spaces)
Occupancy control: 15–35%
Variable load shedding: 15–20 % (peak only)

Encouraging users to set lighting to meet their requirements and not to be wasteful
Incorporating light sensors into a system which can measure the achieved lighting level. The measurement is then used to adjust the level to a pre planned value.
Incorporating presence sensors into the system which can detect human beings, thus ensuring that light is switched off in areas where nobody is present
Using timeclocks or programmable controllers to switch off lighting when it is known that it not going to be required.
