Ringdale, a leader in networking, carbon emission and energy-reducing technologies since 1977, will showcase its ActiveLED(TM) line of indoor and outdoor commercial and industrial LED fixtures at LIGHTFAIR International 2010 May 12-14, 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth #2421 in the Building Integration Pavilion.
ActiveLED Lighting includes a wide variety of fixtures for streets, parking structures, building exteriors, warehouses, offices, retail spaces, restaurants and architectural accents. The fixtures deliver better illumination and 50-95% less energy usage than any conventional lighting source. All of the fixtures are designed and manufactured exclusively by Ringdale in its facility in Georgetown, Texas.
ActiveLED Lighting
Incorporating its own patented solid-state lighting control and thermal management technology with the best LED element available, Ringdale developed the ActiveLED line to meet the requirements of enterprise customers who are focused on replacing their older, inefficient lighting sources or outfitting new construction projects with energy efficient, longer-lasting LED-based fixtures. Easy-to-install and use, ActiveLED fixtures have integrated power supplies that recognize the existing voltage and adjust accordingly.
For applications with intermittent use such as parking structures, conference rooms and stairwells, ActiveLED fixtures are integrated with Ringdale's Light Space Manager(TM) intelligent control combining dimming, motion sensor and occupancy zone control capabilities that increase a building's energy efficiency by an additional 10-25% on top of the ActiveLED Lighting fixtures' savings. Ringdale will demonstrate Light Space Manager at LIGHTFAIR.
LED lighting, unlike older technologies such as incandescent, fluorescent and high pressure sodium, produces an enhanced light that has been proven to improve visibility and provide greater color uniformity in both exterior and interior applications. Additionally, LED lighting is safer and more environmentally sustainable over conventional lighting sources since ActiveLED fixtures and LEDs do not contain mercury or extremely hazardous materials as found in HID and fluorescent lamps.
"Since our introduction into the LED lighting marketplace more than two years ago, we have experienced a high level of demand for our ActiveLED lighting products," said Klaus Bollmann, CEO, Ringdale Inc. "Our advanced approach to fixture design coupled with our unique care and feeding of LEDs provides unrivaled competitive advantages by enabling our lights to run cooler, last longer and depreciate significantly less over time, which is also why we provide the best warranty in the industry."
Customers are already realizing the superior performance and energy efficiencies of using ActiveLED Lighting. The Texas Facilities Commission, in response to the Governor's mandate to cut costs, retrofitted over 220 parking lot and building exterior lights at the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) complex in Austin. The University of North Texas retrofitted an entire parking garage at its Fort Worth campus with ActiveLED Parking Garage Lights. A new LaQuinta in Cedar Park, Texas, is using ActiveLED Solar-assisted Parking Lot Lighting. Big R, a major convenience store chain serving Colorado, replaced all of its interior lighting with ActiveLED High Bay Lights, and realized a 90% savings in energy in the first month.
