The bad lighting had been a problem for the municipality Nijkerk for years, so they approached Saled for a solution. Because of the good condition of the fixtures, Saled applied the retrofit method: installing new LED lighting in the existing fixtures.<\/p>\n Lighting in excellent condition Goals achieved Long lifetime In the spring of 2011 Saled placed LED lighting in the – at the time – dim parking garage Wheemplein.

\n<\/strong>Five years later we can conclude that the Saled product is in excellent condition. When you enter the parking garage as a visitor the bright lighting immediately stands out. There has been no decrease in light output. This proofs that Saled lighting is not only profitable, but also of the highest quality.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The calculations beforehand were promising: by changing the lighting and switching off the ballasts an energy saving larger than 70% should be realised. Afterwards we can conclude that this goal has been achieved. Municipality Nijkerk has saved over \u20ac22.000 on energy costs. A great result, amply earning back the investment.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Saled’s\u00a0premium quality lighting has a very long lifetime. It is expected that most of the LED tubes will last for another five years, doubling the total energy savings in the coming years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
