Due to ever changing times JW UK LTD has successfully manufactured a Heritage style lantern c/w LED. This lantern our Victoria VO/10 has been on trial in numerous local authorities and has had excellent feed back, with this Southampton City Council who were first to trial have now had a complete street installed with these lanterns and LEDS making them the first in the World to have this LED unit in a street light.

These LED Units are giving a pure natural crisp white light as apposed to traditional lighting with the orange tinge.

They can be made as retro fit for existing luminaries saving replacement and keeping that tradition alive, the unit also fits most of our range.

Southampton is one of Britain's most historic ports. It is also a vibrant, modern city offering a warm welcome to visitors from all over the world. Building on Southampton’s vision to be a leader in addressing climate change in The Climate Change and Air Quality Strategy, the council will begin the transformation of Southampton into a low carbon city. In this way it can make a real contribution to reducing the impacts of climate change, which has been identified as the single most significant issue faced by the global community.

The Project
Rockstone Lane in Southampton is the first project in the UK, using Fortimo LED modules. Southampton City Council has decided to deliver on its commitment to reduce the carbon footprint by utilizing the latest green efficient LED lighting. Rockstone Lane has been chosen for a pilot run before deciding whether to extend this approach across other streets in Southampton. “We want to upgrade this street with new lighting but in the existing old heritage style”, explains Mark Humphrey, project manager at Southampton City Council.

The Challenge
The most important benefit of the new lighting solution had to be energy efficiency to reduce Southampton’s carbon footprint. Secondly the new solution needed to offer a maintenance free lifetime of 10 years and a crisper light source.

Fortimo LED DLM 2000 was designed in to the existing JW (UK) Victoria street lighting lantern. The heat sink design was quite crucial in the design of the lantern, enabling the lantern to last longer, making installation easier and allowing the lantern to be retrofitted in to existing installations.

The Solution
The Fortimo LED DLM system produces a high quality, bright, white light and is specifically designed to incorporate improved LED efficiencies, with no changes to dimensions, driver or lumen output. The system is equipped with a special Fortimo phosphor technology, enabling a breakthrough in LED efficacy. In this project 70W lanterns were replaced with 45W lanterns! The Fortimo driver is one of the most efficient on the market.

The whole team at Philips and JW(UK) worked hard together to put the Fortimo LED DLM 2000 in the existing elegant JW(UK) Victoria lantern. The Rockstone Lane project in Southampton demonstrates a great result of teamwork and brings many possibilities for the future.

The Benefits
Mark Humphrey: “The Fortimo LED DLM we have been trialling in Southampton has improved the lighting levels with a crisper, cleaner source with a greater spread than the surrounding high press sodium lighting (SON) in what should prove to be a lower maintenance and lower consuming unit of 0.1A in comparison to 0.4A of the SON gear.”

Due to the crisper light, the general sense of wellbeing and security with in the community has increased. The new installation is well-lit and offers a neutral white colour temperature of 4000K. The new Fortimo solution has a lower maintenance and a longer lifetime. Mark Humphrey explains enthusiastically, “In the old situation we had to carry out maintenance once a year and we had to change lamps every 5 years. With the new Fortimo solution we have doubled the re-lamp period up to 10 years! And on top of this we will save money and the environment.”

Not only Southampton, but also many other city councils in the UK are looking for greener and longer lasting light sources to reduce their carbon footprint. By simply refurbishing Southampton’s Rockstone Lane with Fortimo LED DLM 2000, the city saved energy and costs and reduced their CO2 emissions. So make the switch now to energy saving lighting!
