Toronto Palace Pier residential area to promote LED lighting

Toronto Palace Pier waterfront residential area has become Canada (or North America) the first internal lighting using LED technology of residential construction area, and this is only a $2 million 400 thousand renovation project within the corridor in part of the project.

Palace Toronto Pier apartment board chairman Jim Lord said: This is Canada and even North America's largest residential interior lighting using LED technology. Our board of directors and residents have been committed to finding new solutions for green lighting, and now we find that LED lighting is exactly what we want. "

The project in all 44 layers of each corridor are used by nearly 1300 LED composed of MR16 lamps, and the traditional 35 watt halogen MR16 lamp compared to the Canadian CRS ELectronics company provides LED lamp power of only 4 watts.

CRS's LED MR16 lamp in the continuous use of 40 thousand hours after the flux can be maintained at 70%, equivalent to the continuous use of the past 5 years. Compared with the replacement of 35 watt halogen lamps, LED MR16 light energy consumption reduced by 87%, while the Palace dock residents can save about $40 thousand per year. The demand for electricity is reduced by 40 kW, and the annual total electricity consumption is saved by a factor of 349226, which is equivalent to reducing the emission of greenhouse gases by 110 tons. And halogen lamp life of 2000 hours, while the MR16 lamp for 40 thousand hours, which greatly reduces the need to buy bulbs and workers out of the maintenance costs. Therefore, taking into account energy conservation and maintenance costs, the cost of the purchase will be recovered after 9 months.
