New commuter facilities such as overhead bridges, pedestrian underpasses and taxi stands will soon come with 'green' features to conserve energy. LED lighting will also be installed at existing overhead bridges and other facilities whose fluorescent lights need replacing.

My Opinion: The constant development of LED lighting has led to more affordable LEDs with better lighting effect and quality. The use of LED tubes for overhead bridges is an example of how we can lower the electricity consumption. My belief in building a sustainable environment is inclined towards lowering current input to achieve the same output for our appliances. This short term measure will surely be the lifeline while the world test out new methods to produce renewable energy.

ILight at Marina Bay 2012: Last day on 1 April 2012

TRY not miss out the wonderful lighting projects currently held at Marina Bay area (Just around Clifford Pier, Fullerton Hotel, One Raffles Quay and Marina Bay Sands).

The following are projects that attracted me:

1. Light of the Merlion

The projected neon lights certainly adds a marvellous coat of 'paint' for Singapore's Merlion. The colours symbolised to me the vibrancy of the current generation of Singaporeans and the modern society we lived in. My respects to the designers from OCUBO Portugal.

2. Garden of Light

It is truly a masterpiece wall paper pasted on our iconic Lotus looking arts museum located outside of Marina Bay Sands. Kudos to the designers at Hexogon Solutions Singapore.

The Straits Times on 26 Jan 2012: ST Mind Your Body, The Right Light

The article by Lea Wee touched on how a person becomes more aware of the ambient lighting as they grow older. Following that, 5 points were suggested (Adequate Lighting, Night Lighting, Reduce Glare, Even Light distribution, Enhance Colour Contrast) to make the situation better.

Personal Opinion: 
The key focus here is having suitable lighting. Ultimately, it is about visuals and vision for everyone.

LED lighting may not problem-free, but it may just be the most cost effective (long-run) solution to make things better for our eyes if used appropriately. LED lighting being smaller, brighter, easy to maintain and install as compared to fluorescent makes it easier to adopt. LED spotlights can be hidden under a cove at the sides of stairways or walkways to create an even light distribution between 2 different illuminated areas. This reduces the impact on our eyes when we move from a dark area to a bright area.

It is common understanding that LED products (LED table lamps, LED tubes) are chosen for their high brightness capability yet requiring little energy consumption. However, the main advantage is really its directional lighting that results in cost savings. Due to that, we can customise where and how the light should be pointed.

In conclusion, LED lighting may become the preferred choice of lighting. Start early by adopting LED lighting to reap the savings that is possible!

Wall Street Journal 1 December 2011 Article: Switch to LED Lights...

Article by Kate Linebaugh

Summary of the article:

• Companies like Walmart Stores Inc, GNC Corp. and Caesars Entertainment Corp. shell out for LED lightings.
• Saves on labour cost, repair and maintenance cost and disruption to operations.
• LED bulbs can cut lighting costs by three-quarters although being 20 times the price of conventional bulbs.
• U.S Department of energy predicts LED bulb prices will drop by around 30% a year until 2015.

Stan's comments:

• Consumer and Small medium enterprises in Singapore can adopt LED lighting too.
• With our lowest price, highest quality LED lighting, we provide a source for affordable LED implementation in  homes and offices. 
• Start today and you will save on increasing utilities and replacement cost !

Paris Louvre uses LED lighting for illuminating.

Toshiba lights up musee du'louvre with its energy saving low-CO2 LED lighting, and will use its industry-leading products to illuminate some of the Louvre's most familiar spaces: Under its partnership agreement, Toshiba will provide the LED lighting for the Pyramids that greets visitors as they approach the museum, the Napole'on Court, and the Cour carre'e, the main entrance to the museum.

My own opinion:
LED lighting has mature to be a considerable lighting source for everything. Reasons are: long life, low input consumption, reduce long term cost and wastage and high brightness.
It may not be 100% problem free at the start, however you are bound to save more going forward !
This would include products like LED spotlight, LED downlight for false ceiling, LED tube lighting and LED bulbs. With the ability to customise colours, you can do more with lighting in future !

Expansion of LED products to LED floodlight, LED String lighting for Xmas 2011 !

NEW Addition to our LED lighting products!!

LED floodlight 30w to LED floodlight 50w.
It is suitable for used in garden, displays in shops and enhancing external building security. LED floodlights contribute to much greater brightness in the surrounding and at lower energy consumption compared to metal halide lamps. Lastly, the lifespan is surely 2 - 3 times longer than your conventional high density metal halides that are greatly affected by our climate and temperature.



Second product is the LED String lighting.
It can do multi or single colour with a controller. It has been widely used in Xmas lighting along orchard road, shopping malls and show flats for real estate developers. The ability to twist and turn, it allow to user to customise the overall lighting effect on an object.




For more information on the availability and prices, feel free to contact us via email or our mobile line. At Illuminating Asia, we are certainly excited to share with you our knowledge and expertise in LED lighting.
