Quattro LED通过首次测验
位于苏格兰Larkhall的Netherburn小学新校舍由南拉纳克郡议会设计，用于替换原有的建筑。新校舍有助于提升孩子的学习体验，造福现在与未来。理所当然地，议会要求选择一流的照明，除了优质的配光控制用以确保良好的教学条件外，还需要出色的外观以及经济的运行成本。
这座造价240万英镑的建筑全部使用LED灯具，包括四个普通教室、一个体育场、一间厨房、公共区域、洗手间、办公设施以及保育室，这也是这座建筑的主要特征。
使用的灯具中包括108nr.嵌入式灯盘48W Quattro LED和50nr. Base LED射灯。教室照明由Sensa Modular系统控制。
做出这一选择的原因不仅仅是灯具卓越的外观。LED的到来为照明开启了全新的纪元，在保证优质显色性(Ra 92)的同时大幅降低能耗。
性能的提升在以下例子中显而易见：为了在大教室中实现近400 lux的照明度，需要11个配备2x40W TC-L灯管的常规灯具(MenloSoft)，安装负荷为14.10 W/m²，照明度为398 lux。相同数量的Quattro LED灯具可以实现380 lux的照明度，而负荷仅为7.69 W/m²。这样一来，运行成本减少了45%，而LED持久的使用寿命还有望大幅节省维护费用。
除了提供一般功能性照明外，LED还有助于提供紧急情况照明。紧凑的嵌入式Voyager LED系列灯具（区域和道路模式）和Voyager Sigma LED出口标志在停电时会自动开启。
Netherburn小学的案例值得关注：随着议会重建或翻新每座小学的进程不断深入，它将成为改造照明性能的催化剂。
