HOPPE handles energy savings with ease

Asimple conversion of existing 250W lamps to Venture's 200W Uniform Pulse Start lamps and control gear has resulted in door and window handle manufacturer, Hoppe (UK) achieving savings of around £5000 per year.

With the 250W high pressure sodium (SON) lamps in need of an upgrade, electrical wholesaler Lockwells was asked to provide Hoppe with a solution that would improve the light output while saving money on operating costs. Venture's 200W conversion kits met all of the criteria and became the preferred choice for the project. The kit, which includes the lamp, ignitor, ballast and capacitor, provided a quick and easy conversion without any downtime or disruption to Hoppe's busy manufacturing area.

Venture's Pulse Start Lamps are reported to provide good colour uniformity, a clear white light, and excellent visibility. By changing to the lower wattage Pulse Start lamp, Hoppe's running costs were significantly reduced with no compromise in illumination levels.
