Article source: GAGLIARDI and PARTNERS Performance, efficiency and energy savings have always been the objectives of the Linea Light Group, achieved by offering high quality products with particular attention to the environment and the consumer. It is no coincidence that Porsche Italia S.p.a. has chosen LED products to illuminate the brand new Boxster, Cayman Panamera and Cayenne displayed in its large, glazed open plan showroom, to allow the many Porsche lovers to admire the vehicles in all their splendour, even without natural light. The project includes replacing more than 400 light sources with new Linea Light Group LED products, installed both inside and outside the new showroom and in the offices. During the initial stages of the project net savings of over 60% were forecast for each area: following installation and measurement, these expectations were far exceeded, with an increase in savings of 15% compared to the forecasts. What is more, the annual net savings obtained are remarkable and, as confirmed directly by Porsche Italia.  Image Courtesy © GAGLIARDI and PARTNERS

The track spotlights outside the prestigious headquarters of Porsche Italia (150 W sodium-vapour lamp with a consumption of 1.89 kW and the usual yellow/orange effect) have been replaced by new Linea Light Group 43 W LED light sources, with a consumption of 0.57 kW  Image Courtesy © GAGLIARDI and PARTNERS installed in the Mini Ledweg. In addition to energy savings and the consequent financial benefits, now the Porsche colours can be admired even at night. As for indoor lighting in the showroom, 22 LED track spotlights have been installed by the group from Treviso which, in addition to reducing costs by a third, show the true colour of the bodywork, allowing customers to choose the car in the colour that they will see faithfully reproduced in direct sunlight. This is thanks to the CRI 95 technology of the LED chosen, which does not alter the light and so comes as close as possible to real sunlight. The best result in terms of environmental impact has been achieved in the workshop areas: 24 100 W LED Flamp luminaires have replaced the old 250 W suspension lights and 22×4 W Illiuminator modules have been installed to highlight the details on the cars displayed in the  Image Courtesy © GAGLIARDI and PARTNERS showroom. With this latest intervention, for example, net savings of 80% have been recorded compared to the 150 W gas discharge lamps installed previously, with unparalleled advantages in terms of maintenance: the new LED light sources guarantee a working life of at least 25 years, compared to the 2-3 years of the previous lights. Edith 60×60 LED ceiling lights have been installed in the offices, whereas 68 W fluorescent tubes have been replaced by 26 W LED tubes in the warehouses. The project was possible thanks to the consultancy provided by Bovo S.r.l. in Rubano, Padua. Thanks to their experience and collaboration with Porsche Italia and their specialisation in installations for large- scale retail channels and commercial facilities in general, Bovo S.r.l. was able to complete all the stages of planning, installation and plant certification.
