Bridgelux LED arrays used by Korea’s Ilsung Moolsan in Seoul hotel downlights

LED chip and lighting array maker Bridgelux Inc of Livermore, CA, USA (which claims to be the only vertically integrated maker of LED solid-state light sources specifically for the lighting industry) says that luminaire manufacturer Ilsung Moolsan of Korea has selected Bridgelux LED arrays for the installation of 1000 of its downlights at the new Sheraton Hotel at D-Cube City in Seoul.

Bridgelux’s RS and ES LED arrays are specified to light various areas of the hotel, including the lobby, lounge, public gathering areas, banquet halls, and the indoor swimming pool and sauna. Incorporating LED lighting should reduce energy consumption by up to 63% compared with the typical use of halogen and compact fluorescent downlights in these areas of the hotel.

“We selected Bridgelux LED arrays as the light source for our luminaires because they deliver the high quality of light and product reliability demanded by both our company and the Sheraton Hotel’s rigorous lighting standards,” explains Ilsung Moolsan’s president John Cho. “The Bridgelux arrays offer a high-quality, highly cost-effective and easy-to-integrate solution while providing the beautiful, natural warm white light required for this high-end hotel environment,” he adds.

Bridgelux’s LED light sources are supporting government-led programs such as the Korea’s ‘LED Lighting 2060 Plan’ (announced in June), which aims to promote greater energy efficiency by increasing the use of LED lighting.

“Switching to LED lighting now offers not only energy savings and maintenance avoidance, but also delivers the quality of light demanded by even the top hotels in the industry,” says Bridgelux’s chief sales & marketing officer Jim Miller.
