High Ceiling Lighting Options

Project Summary

The High Ceiling Lighting Options Technology Assessment project studied the applicability of compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and light emitting diodes (LEDs) in a high ceiling general illumination application. At Hyatt, areas of the grand foyer were selected to replace the base case incandescent lamps with CFL, direct replacement lamp LED and a recessed LED downlight retrofit assembly allowing for a side by side comparison of the light sources. The applicability of the technology was determined by light output and power usage, economic factors and customer satisfaction.
