GE Lighting provided energy-efficient, low impact lighting solutions for permanent as well as temporary lighting installations that will either continue to deliver energy savings for years to come or allow lamps to be re-used in projects around the city after the Olympic & Paralympic Games end in September 2012.
GE Lighting has supplied its Odyssey luminaires and CMH Streetwise lamps to ensure the highest levels of security within the main visitor areas in the Olympic Parks. GE Lighting’s Streetwise lamps are designed to deliver a brighter, safer light and high colour rendering, help to promote feelings of safety within the parks and also ensure that the footage gained through CCTV cameras is as clear as possible.
The company has also supplied a range of sports floodlights for the Olympic Hockey Arena. The architectural floodlight, the Euroflood 2000 has been designed with an integrated ballast compartment for HPS and Metal Halide (MH) lamps up to 600 watt.
To mark the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, GE has transformed London’s iconic Tower Bridge with a new state of-the-art lighting system. It is designed to enhance its architectural features and replace static lights with bulbs that can vary in intensity and colour, while at the same time cutting energy consumption considerably.
The landmark will also feature giant suspended Olympic Rings and Paralympic Agitos for the 45 days of the Games. GE will be illuminating the rings, as well as smaller versions in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff using its LED Floodlights and working in conjunction with all the major cities’ councils to ensure that the installations can be reused after the Olympic Games.
As a London 2012 Sustainability Partner and a Global Olympic 2012 sponsor, GE worked alongside the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) for these projects.
