IV.Technology
Hydrel makes use of the latest lighting technology and developments in its products. These cutting edge lighting developments include LEDs or light emitting diodes and OLEDs or organic light emitting diodes as well as the compact fluorescent lamp.
LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)
LEDs or light emitting diodes is the forefront of lighting development. Recently developed to fit a broad assortment of lighting needs, the LED is becoming more and more commercially available as its benefits become more known.
The LED is the current top performer among the available lamps. Its energy conversion to lumen is impressive at 80%, making it a great choice for those who want to save on energy. It also doesnt contain any toxic materials like mercury, and it barely releases any carbon dioxide making it an excellent choice for green or sustainable design.
A LED is also very long lived, with a regular LED capable of lasting up to eleven years at full use or twenty-two years at 50% usage. This reduces not only the energy cost but also the maintenance cost as the need for regularly replacing the lamp becomes minimal.
Recognizing the benefits of LEDs, Hydrel has incorporated it into a significant number of its lighting products. Some of the products that feature LED lamps would include the Rhythm Flood series, the G2 Louver Bollard, and the 4426 LED BM for swimming pool fixtures.
OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode)
The OLED or the organic light emitting diode is an innovation in lighting solutions that has only very recently been made commercially available. The OLED is a light emitting diode with an emissive electroluminescent layer that is composed of a film of organic compounds.
Simply put, OLEDs are paper thin lighting products that are energy efficient and effective. With its unbelievable thinness and lightweight quality, the design possibilities for OLEDs are limitless, especially for lighting solutions.
OLED lighting would be able to diffuse lighting on a large area or be a large area itself and diffuse lighting. It is capable of being manufactured as very thin, flat, and lightweight which allows for an incredible freedom of design. An OLED can also disperse multiple colors, including white, and does not need wires within it to function.
An OLED can be produced as transparent or with a mirror-like surface with either a black or a white appearance. It incorporates low voltage technology, and displays high efficiency.
An OLED is also fully dimmable and has a high energy to lumen conversion rate, making it a perfect option for green lighting and for energy saving.
CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp)
The compact fluorescent lamp or the CFL is an energy saving lamp that is also known as compact fluorescent light or energy saving light. It was designed to replace incandescent lighting and was also designed to fit most existing incandescent fixtures, thereby cutting down on maintenance and installation costs.
The CFL uses less power and has a longer life expectancy than its incandescent contemporary. Its energy to lumen conversion rate is also higher, making it the better choice over incandescent lighting.
V.Applications
Hydrels portfolio of lighting solutions includes a number of remarkable locations. Hydrels lighting solutions not only added the functionality of lighting but it also sought to add distinction to the lighting environments by balancing functionality with design.
Paley Sculpture
The Paley Sculpture was created by Albert Paley, the notable sculptor. It is currently located in RIT, Rochester, NY.
The lighting solution and illumination was designed by Fisher Marantz Stone Lighting Design. It makes use of two Hydrel products, 8100 and M9700.
The 8100 is a wall mounted lighting product that is compact and is known for providing a high precision lighting system. It is able to provide consistent styling with a variety of lighting distributions while multiple optical systems provide a diverse number of accurate and defined controls.
The M9700 is a form of in-grade lighting. The M9700 series are designed to be multi-purpose and for flush mounting. They are often used to provide accent lighting for architectural and landscape features.
Ibiza Tapas and Wine Bar
The Ibiza Tapas and Wine Bar can be found in Pittsburg, PA and was designed by Stephen Iski of Studio 1. The Ibiza Tapas and Wine Bar made use of Hydrels 4800 series.
The 4800 series of lamp fixtures is ideal for wet and dry settings that are more likely to be dry most of the time. The stainless steel lamp housing is ideal for such conditions.
