Baltimore, MD – Ultra-Tech™ Lighting, LLC has addressed lighting sustainability for America’s ports with a new line of magnetic induction high-intensity high-mast lighting. All-new Port-Bright™ fixtures deliver sunlight performance at the lowest operational cost of any alternative lighting. Unaffected by salt or moisture, Port-Bright™ fixtures are rated to sustain winds exceeding 150 mph… a Category 4 hurricane. Port-Bright™ lighting is more than lamps, it is a comprehensive lighting system specific to port and harbor applications. Every aspect of Port-Bright™ lighting has been carefully designed to meet the unique requirements of the maritime shipping industry. Panoramic 360 degree high-mast configurations exceed required foot candles on the ground and sustain performance through the entire 100,000 hour life-cycle; more than 11 years operating 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. This represents a 6-fold increase over high intensity discharge (HID) and high pressure sodium (HPS) alternatives while saving up to 60% of the electric overhead.
Today’s sustainability goals must be achieved in an economical and practical manner. Port terminal illumination is uncompromising and critical for safe operation, security, and aesthetics. That is why the full spectrum characteristic of Port-Bright™ configurations is vital for bringing the shipping industry into the 21st Century sustainability. Even after a life expectancy beyond a quarter century, Port-Bright™ fixtures are completely recyclable. The solid mercury amalgam is contained in a recoverable glass appendage (the “slug”) that is clipped and sent back to Ultra-Tech. Remaining magnetic coils and glass tubes are non-toxic and disposable in any land fill or recycling center.
The superior color rendition index (CRI) exceeds .85, allowing operators to clearly distinguish colors at night. Surveillance cameras vividly resolve figures under the full spectrum produced by Port-Bright™ fixtures. The proprietary mounting rings and brackets offer flexible lamp configurations to meet any photometric standard on the ground.
The Port-Bright™ financing program eliminates the need for capital budgets since operational savings can offset financing payment schedules. From $50,000 retrofits to multi-million dollar lighting infrastructure projects, there is a Port-Bright™ program that fits the needs and financial constraints of any operation.
