In Chicago’s bustling downtown, the Daley Plaza serves over 10,000 people each day. The fountain acts as the decorative centerpiece to the plaza, and is enjoyed by tourists and natives alike.
The in-ground fountain used standard incandescent bulbs that frequently burned out. Just one burned out bulb was an expensive issue. The city was constantly required to spend money on costly maintenance, since the fountain had to be completely drained every time a bulb needed to be replaced.
LEDtronics offered a solution that would both limit costly maintenance and provide savings with energy reduction. Two PAR36LED floodlight lamps were installed into the fountain as a yearlong test. The Public Commission of Chicago was pleased with the results and contracted LEDtronics to provide 108 bulbs for the pre-existing watertight fixtures.
Benefits of the PAR36 LED bulb:
The result was an 85% reduction in energy use and long lasting LED bulbs that are still in use today.
