Sydney to spend 7 million Australian dollars to enable the transformation of GE Lighting City streets and parks lighting system

Introduction: in 2012, China development goals from "promoting growth", "growth" to "steady growth", this word is not only reflected in the transformation of economic structure Chinese Road, is a strong determination to China to sustainable green development path very close. "NPC and CPPCC" before the Ministry issued the "energy saving" 12th Five-Year "plan"; in March 6th the Ministry of housing issued "issued by the Ministry of housing and urban construction and building energy technology company in 2012 the main points of the notice" requirements, and strive to build green buildings of 1 billion 100 million square meters in the "12th Five-Year" period, on the energy saving renovation of 570 million square meters of construction. Thus, the pace of China's low-carbon economy has been significantly accelerated, but for a developing country, the difficulties and challenges facing is still very grim. It is understood that the second half of 2011, China has launched a national large-scale public buildings energy conservation transformation of key cities, the pilot, currently has nearly 40 large and medium cities selected. Followed by the hot debate is: how to carry out energy-saving transformation of public places? It is necessary to learn from the experience of other countries to implement energy-saving emission reduction countries. In November 2011, the Australian house of Representatives voted for Australia to become the second country after the European Union to limit carbon emissions legislation. Recently, the city of Sydney to spend $7 million to carry out the reform of the city streets and parks lighting system to achieve its reduction in the city's electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 40%.

March 2012 - GE lighting with the Australian partner UGL jointly won the next three years in Sydney, the streets and parks of the lighting system renovation project, the total value of the target of $7 million. The new, highly efficient, energy-efficient LED will replace the existing lighting systems in Sydney's streets and parks, a move that will help Sydney to reduce electricity consumption and carbon pollution by 40%.

Sydney City, a total of 22000 street lights, is one of the largest users of road lighting in New South Wales, australia. At present, the city's public lighting electricity consumption accounts for 1/3 of the city's total, while the whole city's greenhouse gas emissions from the majority of public lighting in Sydney. The existing street lamp sources in Sydney include incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, high pressure mercury, high pressure sodium lamp, metal halide lamp and compact fluorescent lamp. After the opening of the new LED GE lights, the city is expected to save electricity, carbon tax and street maintenance costs will be up to nearly $800 thousand. The move will also help Sydney reduce its electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40%. According to Australia's IES LM-79 and LM-80 standards, the new LED will also be on the premise of 30% lumen attenuation to achieve a minimum average life of 30000 hours.

Sydney's Alexander Park, Circular Quay, George street, King's Cross and the square have successfully replaced the LED street lamp system and have passed a 18 month probation period. A public opinion poll conducted in the city showed that more than 90% of the population had found new lighting lamps in the area, and that 3/4 of them said they had improved significantly compared with the previous ones.

By the Sydney city LED light source for series GE EvolveTM R250 outdoor lighting products GE lighting unique modular design, which is suitable for including roads, driveways, sidewalks, residential areas, large commercial and industrial center and other outdoor areas. Its system design life of up to 50000 hours (more than 80% lumen maintenance rate), from 1 to 4 optical module components to achieve a power upgrade of 39W to 237W, providing a luminous flux output options ranging from 2600lm to 17800lm. At the same time, its unique optical design effectively reduces power consumption of road lighting per square metre, promoting energy-saving concept of road lighting; optical distribution also improves video quality road monitoring, safety improved, eliminate hidden dangers for many people to travel at night. The product has been listed in most Asian countries.

The street lamp replacement project has made Sydney a big step towards the goal of "sustainable development". It is a great way to achieve the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 70% in 2030 compared with a year earlier in 2006. Director of the Sydney city infrastructure and Traffic Management Bureau George Grace said: "we hope that with GE lighting and UGL will continue to work together to this meaningful project further, for the realization of the city's energy-saving emission reduction, improve residents aesthetic feeling again.
