Final Report Lot 9: Public street lighting - Amper

In this option increased values of UF are adopted that are close to the maximum obtained in the
calculated ones in chapter 4 (4.3.1.4). This increased UF can of course only be realized with
tubular clear (TC) lamps.
7.2.1.9 Increasing ballast gain factor (BGF) by bi-level dimmable ballasts
Option 10 (new sales base):
In this option we assume that the energy saving potential by light dimming can be realised
according to the values as described in chapter 3 (3.1.3) with the technology as described in
chapter 6 (6.2.4).
In this option it is also assumed that no HPM (high pressure mercury) lamps are used; dimming
technology is unknown for these old lamp types. The HPM luminaires sales are distributed over
2/3 HPS and 1/3 CMH lamps.
In future the use of electronic ballasts and dimming could also contribute to an increase of LSF
and LLMF as indicated in chapter 6 (6.2.1) and confirmed by CELMA. These positive effects
could not yet be taken into account because of an actual lack of sufficient data.
7.2.1.10 Increasing ballast gain factor (BGF and BMF) by electronically dimmable
ballasts
Option 11 (new sales):
In this option we assume that the energy saving potential by light dimming and electronic
ballasts can be realised according to the values as described in chapter 3 (3.1.3 and 3.1.4) with
the technology as described in chapter 6 (6.2.3).
7.2.2 Design options for product weight reduction
7.2.2.1 Increasing lamp life (LSF)
This is included in option 7.2.1.2
7.2.2.2 Decreasing mercury content in lamps
Option 12 (stock and new sales base):
Only HPS lamps can be obtained without mercury content. All other HID lamps need a
minimum of mercury to operate (see BOM in chapter 4).
The mercury free HPS lamps however have a lower lamp efficacy and thus increased energy
consumption.
This option assumes that all HPS lamps are substituted by mercury free HPS lamps.
