LED chandelier bulbs make Royal impression at the Palace
 In
an effort to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, the Royal
Household in Buckingham Palace, London, has installed an LED chandelier
and other LED lighting effects.
Bespoke Lighting, a UK-based company that recently merged
with LED lighting specialist LEDtronics, Inc. has undertaken two projects
to introduce LED lighting into Buckingham Palace.
The exterior of the Palace was also lit with LEDs
last year – see

Bespoke and LEDtronics developed a unique method of illuminating chandeliers
using LEDs. The project was undertaken at the request of The Royal Household,
in an effort to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs. The
center room chandelier was nominated and all 32 twenty-five watt tungsten
lamps were removed, and a low-voltage system controlling 2.8 watt LED
lamps.
Energy savings in excess of 80% were realized, and the next re-lamping
will not need to be scheduled until 2020. The next chandelier to be converted
will be fitted with a warmer version of LED lamps, perfectly recreating
the color temperature of tungsten lamps.
Grand Staircase
"
The aesthetics of the respective rooms is a major consideration and consequently
we needed an option on the color of the lamps. Bespoke lighting and LEDtronics
have succeeded in providing the perfect solution for The Royal Household
.and their energy saving strategy has been greatly enhanced”, said
Pervaiz Lodhie, president and founder of LEDtronics and co-owner of Bespoke
Lighting International.
“We are now perfecting an LED candle lamp for The Palace that
will again assist them in their commitment to saving energy”.
Lodhie says that LEDtronics also recently worked
jointly with Bespoke in illuminating the Grand Staircase in Buckingham
Palace. "We installed
around 32,000 LEDs, which included a combination of warm-white combined
with red, green and blue, giving a range of several thousand color temperatures.
The system is controlled remotely by radio transmitter.”
