Circontrol’s LedPark achieves 85% savings in car park lighting

With the increasing of electricity prices is everyday more important to invest in efficient technologies

1^st January 2017, Viladecavalls

Electricity prices don’t stop rising. This has been happening globally and continuously since 2010. In this context energy saving is everyday more important and LED technology together with light regulation can help you to reduce your electric bill drastically.

Circontrol offers LedPark system for car parks efficient lighting. Just choosing LED lighting instead of traditional lighting would save you 50%. With Circontrol’s LedPark this savings can rise until the 85%. LedPark goes a step further integrating its intelligent lighting system with Dynamic Parking Guidance System iPark. This system adjusts the luminosity regarding vehicles’ and people’s flow and schedule obtaining a cost reduction in energy use, installation, maintenance and emergency lighting much higher than with other traditional lighting systems. Besides, LedPark offers a great lighting uniformity in the entire parking surface, thanks to its LED lamps homogenously distributed, creating a feeling of comfort and safety to the user.

LED technology not only represents savings in consumption, thanks to its lifespan ten times longer than fluorescent lamp lifespan, maintenance cost is practically inexistent. For all these reasons, the investment recovery time for LedPark is really short, usually two years, and its self-financed with energy and maintenance savings.

About Circontrol

It is a manufacturer company leader in its sector; with over 20.000 Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations all over the world and more than 450 Car Parks managed by its own Green Parking Platform.

Circontrol’s LedPark, the inteligent LED lighting system that revolutionizes efficient parking concept

Circontrol’s LedPark, the inteligent LED lighting system that revolutionizes efficient parking concept

Lighting plays a key role in parking management in two important aspects: the cost, including consumption and maintenance, and users experience, which results in customer’s loyalty. That’s why LED lighting is a key technology for parking lighting because it gets a better lighting for each parking lot while reducing the energy use and, therefore, the cost.

Circontrol has been working on LED lighting for car parks for a while but with LedPark it goes one step further creating a new concept with an intelligent lighting and management system integrated with CirPark Guidance and Occupancy System for car parks. This system adjusts the luminosity regarding vehicles’ and people’s flow and schedule obtaining a cost reduction in energy use, installation, maintenance and emergency lighting much higher than with other traditional lighting systems.

Among the advantages of Circontrol’s LedPark system there’s the cost reduction. LED technology represents a 60% saving on energy use and LEDs lifespan is ten times higher than fluorescent light lifespan.

For a car park with 100 parking lots that uses LedPark system the consumption would be 12.709 Kwh in its maximum use and just 5.086 in its regulated use, representing a reduction of energy consumption between 74% and 89% compared with the use of fluorescent lighting (depending on if LedPark is on maximum or regulated use).

Circontrol’s LedPark also represents a saving in maintenance and emergency system because our system performs this function.

LedPark improvements are not only economical; it also increases customer’s loyalty. LED lighting creates a more pleasant and comfortable environment for the users with a lighting management regarding schedule, occupancy and vehicle’s and people flow. All this managed by SCADA software and CirPark Guidance and Occupancy system that works together with LedPark in a common installation and amortization. An amortization that will take place in 2 or 3 years, depending on energy costs.
