BEKA Schréder recently supplied the LED streetlight retrofit solution for the N1 highway in Cape Town. Significant energy savings are being achieved with this new installation without compromising the required light levels. The company replaced the old HID lamps with its AVENTO 3 and LEDLUME range of LED streetlights. These provide improved light uniformity and a higher colour rendering index which makes the colours appear closer to their true colours, leading to a better visual perception which increases road safety, as it allows drivers to see the complete environment.
The AVENTO 3, which was been installed on the highway, is an efficient energy saving solution for one-to-one replacement of 600 W HID luminaires. It offers a superior lumen/watt ratio to deliver a high-performing and energy efficient lighting solution for various landscapes, including security lighting, highmast lighting, interchanges, roads and highways. The AVENTO 3 is tele-management-ready for easy smart city integration with Schréder EXEDRA, which is the most advanced lighting management system on the market.
Toolless access to the gear compartment makes these quick and easy to install. Furthermore, compared to the previous luminaires, there is less upward lighting and therefore less light pollution.
The LEDLUME range, which was installed on on-ramps and off-ramps, offers optimised photometrical performance with a minimum total cost of ownership. It provides customers with the ideal tool to generate energy savings, improve lighting levels and reduce maintenance costs. The great variety of high-performance optics optimises the photometric distribution for each specific application to achieve minimum energy consumption. The LEDLUME range offers flexible combinations of LED modules, a choice of currents and dimming options to further maximise energy savings and provide the most cost-effective solution.
BEKA Schréder locally develops and manufactures energy-efficient LED lighting products, designed and suitable for local conditions. We are very proud to be associated with the Western Cape Government, Kantey & Templer, Zutari and Adenco in providing a successful energy-efficient streetlighting solution for this project.
