Solution
The terminals had been previously lit by Philips QL induction lamps. New energy savings initiatives launched by the airport leadership focused on a more energy efficient solution. With 3D printing technology and LED lighting, the airport is well on its way to achieving its energy savings goals. Compared to the previous lighting installation, savings of over 50% have been achieved. And by adding Dynalite controls, the airport is able to save even more. The second goal was a fast, easy and cost-effective installation. The cut out left by the old induction downlights was 270mm. New LED downlights typically have much smaller cut outs sizes, which presented a challenge. Now with 3D printing technology, the new energy-efficient LED downlights have been specifically made to fit the 270 mm ceiling hole from the previous installation. The new luminaires fit perfectly. Additionally, the lightweight nature of 3D printing makes installation simple. The project involved the installation of 194 3D printed downlights, with plans to expand to additional areas in the near future.
