The LED solution brings a number of advantages for the Paragon Lounge.
The low power consumption of each LED-based fitting results in only 3.6 watts being consumed when the lighting is on full power.
In total the whole lighting system consumes only 1944 watts, providing significant energy savings for the bar.
In addition, the combination of full colour change moods and select settings allows the lighting to be themed throughout the day, night and year.
Total management of the lighting solution is through the DMX controller, providing the flexibility for changing light effects throughout the bar areas and allowing the rooms to be themed for specific events or occasions.
The new light system also provides the bar with fuller, more saturated colour, creating a vibrant, eye-catching effect.
In addition, the long life of Luxeon LEDs means minimal maintenance costs for the bar owners.
Andrew Littler of Solar, said: "Luxeon provided us with the perfect light source to create a unique lighting experience for the Paragon Lounge.
The low energy requirements combined with the flexibility and intense colour have provided the bar with a light system that helps create the atmosphere and style required at any time, while allowing the bar management to significantly reduce their energy requirements and maintenance costs." The response from the bar owner and the customers has been very positive, with the Solar lighting solution providing a talking point for its style and colour.
Mark van den Berg, Marketing Manager Europe for Lumileds, said: "We are seeing a growing number of companies and their customers choose Luxeon technology due to the advantages, both short and long term, that it offers.
Luxeon's small size, low energy requirements and high light output are increasingly being favoured over alternative light solutions.
"Solar's lighting refurbishment at the Paragon Lounge utilises all of the Luxeon advantages to maximum effect, and we are delighted to be involved in such a unique project.".
