Hella Electronics’ Industrial Product Group Director, Steve Lietaert, stated that the new Eco StreetLine lamps reduce maintenance costs and provide considerable energy savings compared to traditional street lighting products. He informed that the company is discussing about the retrofit programs with a number of automakers and power companies.
Hella will provide both retrofit and advanced LED modules. The former will replace the existing lamps and the latter will be assembled at the company’s facility in Illinois. The retrofit systems streamline the conversion process of traditional lighting to LED lighting easily and effectively. The LED light generates almost 5900 lm and consumes only 75 W of electricity.
Hella has successfully completed the largest LED replacement project in Germany, which enabled the City of Lippstadt to reduce the energy usage by 70%. The company carried out a similar conversion project at the European Aeronautic and Defense Space Company and helped in reducing the energy expenditure by 68%.
