LEDs throw new light on energy saving at Air NZ

Air New Zealand has halved the amount of energy required to light key areas of its Auckland engineering base following installation of a new LED lighting product, Ecofluro. Ecofluro T8 LED tubes have been used to replace more than 2,100 fluorescent bulbs at the site, a move that has not only reduced Air New Zealand's energy usage, but also lowered its running costs. "Fluorescent bulbs, which are used by most New Zealand businesses, contribute to around 40% of the average office power bill so by replacing them with LED a business can literally halve this cost," says Paul Stoddart of Business Lighting Solutions, which manufactures Ecofluro.
