CLP Group, one of the largest investor-owned power businesses in Asia Pacific, is launching a programme to replace its premises with LED lamps. The installation of 90W floodlights in three of its carparks and substations mark the first stage of the programme. With OSRAM Opto Semiconductors’ Golden Dragon Plus LEDs in these lamps, it is estimated that 13 tons of carbon dioxide will be reduced per year.

The LED floodlights are installed in indoor and outdoor premises of three locations in Hong Kong, including Shamshuipo, Taipo and Sheung Shui. They are replacing 250W low pressure sodium (LPS) lamps and it will be followed by more replacement installations in other CLP properties. Current installation is marked as part of CLP’s efforts to minimize the impact on the environment in its operations.

“We understand that CLP has a variety of premises, ranging from indoor office to outdoor stations. So a versatile solution is needed,” said Edmond Liu, Lighting Consultant of East Universal Technology Limited, the company which builds the LED floodlights for CLP. “We choose OSRAM Opto Semiconductors’ Golden Dragon Plus LEDs as the light source due to its long life span and its high reliability. Our floodlights powered by these LEDs can provide a brighter and more even illumination of a defined area.”

“The Golden Dragon Plus LED has a full white colour temperature range and can be used with reflectors as well as secondary lenses,” said Kai-chong Cheng, Marketing Director Asia Pacific of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors. “These features enable much flexibility for applications in different conditions. We will be delighted to see these LED floodlights continue to replace the traditional lighting fixtures in CLP premises as the programme rolls out.”

CLP is one of the signatories of the Carbon Reduction Charter organized by the Environmental Protection Department of the Hong Kong Government. “Caring for the environment is one of our core values,” said the representative of CLP. “We set annual targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions for our buildings. With this replacement programme, we are looking at exceeding our targets and reducing our carbon footprint significantly.”

Floodlight with Golden Dragon Plus installed in CLP’s Shamshuipo Car Park is part of its reducing carbon footprint activity.
