Energy Focus Provides LED Lighting Solutions for Shipboard Use

Energy Focus Inc., a maker of LED lighting based in Solon, Ohio USA, announced that it has installed LED lighting to retrofit the high-bay lighting in a hanger deck on board an Arleigh Burke class Destroyer.

The company’s LED lights are part of a continuing effort to reduce energy and maintenance costs. The fixtures and underlying technology were developed under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) High Efficiency Distributed Lighting (HEDLight) program. The installation comes after a year-long demonstration on board naval vessels that replaced existing fluorescent, incandescent, and halogen lighting with various HEDLight lighting solutions.

The developed lighting solutions incorporate solid state lighting technology. The fixtures include highly efficient and long lasting (LED) globe fixtures with a power savings of up to 87%, and LED berth lights for general berthing compartments, which provide a 14% power savings. All fixtures were designed to be direct replacements to eliminate retrofit concerns and reduce installation costs.

Roger Buelow, CTO of Energy Focus, noted that the improvement in visibility and amount of light in the work area is as impressive as the energy and maintenance savings, these 60 lumen per watt fixtures, operating at more than four times the efficiency of the ones they replaced, give the sailors more and better light to work under.

In addition, the company expects the new LED lights to continue working without failure for many years to come. DARPA's support was instrumental in accelerating this technology to allow them to help the Fleet reduce its maintenance woes and fuel costs while improving the sailor's visibility.
