Due to the sheer scale of this installation, Optiled's extensive expertise in integrating power supply design, thermal management, optical solutions, digital control, mechanical design and LED technology, together with Cree's lighting-class XLamp® XR-E LEDs, were the keys to successfully installing more energy efficient LED lighting fixtures in over 400 of the town's 588 buildings; altogether 64,000 Optiled LED lighting fixtures with led high bay light components are to be installed.
"As a government project, we knew they would expect our very best, most technically demanding work," said Peter Chan, managing director of Optiled. "But our experience working with Cree gave us complete confidence we could meet the challenge. Our expertise, combined with Cree's lighting-class LEDs, enabled us to deliver an outstanding product to Jurong Town."
"At Cree we pride ourselves on the immense experience and expertise we have gained working on LED lighting technology for more than two decades, and Optiled has helped bring our LEDs to the forefront," said Soo-Ghee Lee, vice president and general manager, Cree Asia Pacific. "The Jurong Town installation required great manufacturing precision, and it has been one of the most exciting projects that we've done in cooperation with Optiled. Our joint success is a solid indicator of the world-class work we are able to accomplish by working together."
As one of the top innovators and suppliers of LEDs in the world, Cree has been Optiled's sole LED chip provider since 2000. Other significant cooperative efforts between Optiled and Cree include led high bay for a growing number of APAC projects with renowned hotel groups, international banks, retail chains, and more. Most recently, Optiled won a "Design Plus powered by Light+Building" award for its ARRAY product series, which is powered by Cree LED components. Optiled was the only Asian company among the 32 winners.
