Proposal for INTERTOLL- Zinara Toll Plaza, Bulawayo Plaza

1. Executive summary
The current HPS & MH lighting technology suggested for this project will result in
colour variation and short lifespan. The frequent power outages will further reduce
the life and cause the globes to fail. Scissor Poles will be a costly way to constantly
replace the globes.

The interior lights (CFL & fluorescent tubes) will be the same with life of less than 12
months.

CLED lights are instant on and surge protected. The typical lifespan is 12 years will
give a crisp, whiter light. In addition, CLEDs, unlike LEDs, can take heat over 50 deg.
Cel.

The energy saving that Illuminate can generate are in excess of 68% and the site will
be more cost effective as well as the additional costs paying back in less than 23
months.

2. Brief introduction to CLED Technology
Chemical based LEDs or CLEDs are organic LEDs based on phosphorescing Kuttle fish.
It is more advanced than any other lighting technology there are no heat problems
and the life exceeds 50 000 hours

3. Purpose of the Toll Plaza Project
To prove that Illuminate Chemical Light (CLED) technology saves more than any
other lighting technology, lasts longer and is cost effective.

4. Project Outline
The project is broken down to the Admin Building and the street lighting
CLED lights will be used to replace almost all the lights already proposed
SANS 10098-2 regulations will be adhered to

5. Products to be compared
The table on the next page shows the typical conversion used to meet the required
lux levels and is based on the proposed old technology lighting and how many
CLED units are required:






















6. Technology Comparison
Why the current technology in inferior:
CFLs and T-5 Fluorescents
Short realistic life of less than a year; so require regular maintenance
Poor light colour and quality
HPS
Orange light
Requires 15-20 minute start-up and cool-down period
Zimbabwe has serious regular power cuts; lights will blow on a regular
basis and will require replacement for visibility and safety
Consumes significant power
Runs hot
MH lights
Similar reasons to HPS

7. Why CLED lights are Superior
Most energy efficient (68% saving for this project)
Auto restart and surge protection on Drivers
No burn cycle
70 000 hour life

No flickering & no start-up time
Instant on and off
Little maintenance

Cool white colour is crisp and gives high visibility
Cool running at 34 deg. Cel.

8. The Solution
The additional cost of the Illuminate CLED lighting system will pay back in less than
two years. This is due to the energy savings of 68%.

Factors not quantified, but support the CLED solution:
Maintenance and replacement costs for CFLs and T-5 fluorescent tubes
High cost of replacing HPS and MH bulbs due to power cuts and specialist
equipment
CLED lights will require very little maintenance so there is no human error
involved
No replacement of CLEDs for approximately 16 years

Street lighting
The HPS/MH solution suggested would require costly Scissor Mast/ Poles that are
costly. Regular galvanised poles can be substituted for a cost saving.

Note: Lux charts can be found in the Append

technology and the associated savings.

9.2. Costing Summary
This is a comparison to the quotes already received. The full costing is found in the
appendix to this proposal.













9.3. Financial Summary
The additional costs have been analysed and will pay back in less than two years;
and continue to generate savings on the less efficient lights.










10. Conclusion
CLED lights have the proven long life, energy savings and quality. One needs to look
forward to the next 5-years and higher electricity prices to realise that traditional HID
lights and fluorescents are out-dated and poor performing. This proposal has quantified
the additional costs and illustrated a short payback for a lighting system that will save
more power and last at least 15 years.
