Recently, a number of LED bulbs from Light Emitting Designs have been installed at the Ameristar Casino Resort Spa, located in St. Charles, MO giving their guests a dazzling welcome and it is also important to note that the place is now energy-efficient.
Innumerable LED bulbs dot the perimeter of the Casino and many top lights on posts are found lining the entry. According to Ray Voigt, who works for the Martin Electrical Sales in St. Louis, establishments such as Ameristar should necessarily echo and reveal the thrill and excitement of the happenings inside on its exterior too. However, it was also equally necessary to utilize energy saving equipments that would lead to savings.
Over 6000 S14 LED lamps have been installed in the casino, along with 60 Post Top lights. Even though the cost per LED bulb is much greater when compared to the bulb it is replacing, its much longer life span (35,000 to 50,000 hours) makes it a very attractive proposition. Tim Taylor, the CEO of Light Emitting Design has stated that energy savings would accrue as a regular 150 W incandescent bulb is substituted by a 35 W LED lamp.
The S14 lamps have a life-span of 50,000 hours and are being offered in assorted colors along with Daylight and Soft White. The Post Top series of lamps are offered in Daylight and Soft White and come with a three year warranty with a life of up to 35,000 hours.
