ODESSA, FL.—Green Lodging News has added a Tivoli Lighting case study to its website. The case study details how the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas was able to reduce its energy expenditure by more than 400,000 watts and significant man hours. Yet, its sign still shines brightly—perhaps even brighter than before thanks to new lamps that create brighter, easier-to-maintain, more energy-efficient lighting.
It was not that difficult of a feat when considering that the original fixtures on the exterior of the hotel were simply E12 Candelabra sockets embedded into the building façade marquee. Between every gold diamond on the building there was a small globe lamp with original incandescent lamps that consumed 10W at 120V each.
Knowing that there were more efficient lighting options today, the Golden Nugget reached out to distributor Tyrone Thompson, owner of Las Vegas Lighting, who contacted Alive Enterprises for a solution. The hotel presented its list of problems and asked for a smart lighting solution. Fortunately, David Alayev, President of Alive Enterprises Inc., was one of the original people who worked on the property more than 25 years ago, so his familiarity with the project facilitated his ability to work with various lighting manufacturers to find a solution.
New Lighting Product Developed
After a thorough review of project needs and evaluation of currently available options, Tivoli Lighting determined that a new product design was necessary, so it developed the Tivolite Filament G10 lamp with a double filament and a 30,000-hour life span. When one filament side goes out, the other stays lit. The IP65-rated bulb for wet locations has a genuine glass vacuum sealed bulb with a nickel-coated brass base to eliminate corrosion due to weather conditions.
“The Tivolite Filament bulb is environmentally friendly with zero UV emissions. The 2200K lamp only consumes 1 watt, saving 85 to 90 percent energy as a direct replacement for the incandescent lamps,” said Alayev. “No other manufacturer has been able to tackle this issue and provide a viable solution. Tivoli created the lamp, as per our specific requirements for the application and, through the process, was able to develop a viable product line of Tivolite bulbs to fit any application.”
In total, 47,000 small G10 lamps and 4,300 S14 lamps were replaced.
