Replacement of low voltage dichroic downlighters with Megaman GU10 directional compact fluorescent lamps has helped the Novotel hotel at Excel in London's Docklands to reduce energy consumption and improve the performance of air conditioning.The Megaman 9W GU10 lamps provide around 80% savings in energy consumption to produce the same levels of light. In addition, the lower heat outputs mean that the air conditioning is also able to operate at optimum efficiency, providing additional energy savings as well as maintaining comfortable conditions for guests.
A further benefit is that GU10 compact fluorescent lamps have a life of 15,000 hours, some 15 times the life of a halogen lamp. This has enabled the hotel to reduce its maintenance costs as re-lamping cycles are greatly extended.
Megaman GU10 lamps incorporate the company's patented Ingenium technology, ensuring instant, flicker-free start with enhanced light output – as well as a very compact design. The lamps feature a built-in reflector to emulate the directional light output of a spotlight, providing a cost-effective alternative to high energy, high heat output mains and low voltage halogen lamps.
