LED Chandeliers Bulbs Makes a Royal Impression at Buckingham Palace

Bespoke Lighting, who recently merged with LEDtronics, Inc., a Los Angeles, CA, based LED lighting company, combined their skills in developing a unique method of illuminating chandeliers using light emitting diodes (LEDs).

The project was undertaken at the request of The Royal Household, in an effort to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs. The centre room chandelier was nominated and all 32 twenty five watt tungsten lamps were removed, and a low voltage system controlling 2.8 watt light emitting diode lamps were installed initiating an energy saving in excess of 80%. The next relamping will not be needed to be scheduled until 2020.

The next chandelier to be converted will be fitted with a warmer version of LED lamps, perfectly recreating the colour temperature of tungsten lamps. “The aesthetics of the respective rooms is a major consideration and consequently we needed an option on the colour of the lamps. Bespoke lighting and LEDtronics have succeeded in providing the perfect solution for The Royal Household .and their energy saving strategy has been greatly enhanced”, said Pervais Lodhie, president and founder of LEDtronics and co-owner of Bespoke Lighting International. “We are now perfecting an LED candle lamp for The Palace that will again assist them in their commitment to saving energy”.

“We also recently worked jointly with Bespoke in illuminating the Grand Staircase in Buckingham Palace. We installed around 32,000 LED’s which included a combination of warm white combined with red ,green and blue LED’s giving a range of several thousand colour temperatures. The system is controlled remotely by radio transmitter.”
