Bunratty retrofit

Litho Circuits Lighting were tasked with upgrading the Street Lights in the historic village of Bunratty from Traditional HPS Lighting to Energy Saving LED technology, this project was to achieve a minimum energy saving of 50%.

Part of the challenge was to keep the 32 ornate light housings and improve the lighting levels while using a Colour Temperature of 2,700K so as not to spoil the ambiance of the area.

To achieve this task the old gear from the lantern was removed and replaced with a new 60-Watt LED gear tray. The LED Gear Trays used are SEAI Triple E approved with a 10 Year Manufactures Warranty.
