原标题:Altman Lighting Provides an LED Retrofit Solution for St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church

In 1946, more than 100 founding parishioners came together to build a community where families could worship as one, establishing the St. Rose of Lima Catholic Community. Built around a host of ministries that include a school, an early childhood center, and various summer programs, the sanctuary within the community is relied upon as part of the foundation for spiritual growth. With an outdated lighting system which needed replacement, the church worked with the Houston-based manufacturers rep LESCO Lighting Technology who installed a bright and energy-efficient worship design using Chalice LED downlights and Pegasus LED Fresnels from Altman Lighting. “This was our first time working with the congregation at St. Rose of Lima, and we were brought on to help them update their current house and stage lighting system to LED technology,” said Manuel Moran, LESCO Lighting Technology. “In this phase of updating the system, we would need to still use their existing dimmer rack, so we suggested using the Mains-Dimmable technology of both the Chalice LED downlight and the Pegasus LED Fresnel.”

The Chalice LED Series is the most diverse range of downlights available with mounting options that include pendant, recessed, aircraft cable, wall and yoke mount; and dimming choices ranging from Mains Dimming to DMX. Also available with a wide variety of LED color or white light options, plus numerous lens or reflector choices, the Chalice LED Series is the most versatile and easy to integrate downlight solution available today.

“Their existing house lights were just 10 to 12-inch recessed cans each using a 500W halogen lamp,” continued Moran. “Additionally, they also had 500W halogen PAR lights that were being used to light the alter and the cross. As these lamps were becoming more costly and difficult to find for replacements, they wanted to convert to LED lighting for both the energy and cost savings. Throughout our discussions on what they wanted, we knew the Chalice and Pegasus LED fixtures would be an ideal solution to accentuate their worship services.” Available as a 6-inch or 8-inch white output solution, the Pegasus LED Fresnel is both a Mains Dimmable and DMX controlled luminaire that replicates the soft light output that is expected from a Theatrical or Studio Fresnel. At under 150W, Pegasus meets the output of its 750-watt incandescent counterparts and is also available in four different color temperatures with a 10-70 degree spot-to-flood beam spread.

“In the end, we installed 24 Pegasus LED fixtures that are focused on the stations of the cross, and are mounted along wood beams in the sanctuary,” added Moran. “We then installed 48 Chalice LED downlights for the house lighting in the sanctuary. Since the Chalice and Pegasus are both Mains-Dimmable, we didn’t have to add any additional wiring and we could still use their existing preset lighting station at the back of the house for prerecorded looks. It was a very simple replacement on the labor side and the electrician was actually able to finish the wiring three days ahead of schedule.” Now complete, the new lighting design for St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church is exceeding expectations. Not only providing the energy-savings and brightness desired from an LED lighting system, it is also showcasing the benefits of an ideal retrofit lighting technology.

“The new system turned out perfect and they were very surprised at the brightness of the LED lighting design,” concluded Moran. “Overall the biggest advantage to this type of solution is the ability to work in either a Mains Dimmable or DMX application in the same luminaire. If you have a church that wants to update their lighting fixtures to LED, but still needs to work with their traditional dimming system, you have a one-for-one replacement solution, with no additional wiring, and the lights work great.” Built on quality and excellence, Altman Lighting is one of the leading innovators of theatrical, architectural, film and video lighting today. Founded over 60 years ago by Charles Altman on the philosophy of providing top-quality products at an affordable price, the company and family have continued on with that vision through state-of-the-art product innovations and economical lighting solutions. Our experienced design and engineering team has created a family of luminaires that both enhance and illuminate the lighting environment with fixtures that range from incandescent to LED technology.

1946年，100多名创始教区居民聚集在一起建立了一个家庭可以一起祭拜的社区，建立了St.利马天主教社区的玫瑰.围绕着包括学校，幼儿中心和各种夏季课程在内的多个部门而建立，社区内的避难所作为灵性成长基础的一部分.随着需要更换的过时系统，教堂与总部位于休斯顿的造商代表LESCO Lighting Technology合作，他们使用Altman Lighting的Chalice LED筒灯和Pegasus LED菲涅耳安装了亮且节能的崇拜设计。.“这是我们第一次与圣地亚哥的会众合作.我们被带到帮助他们更新现有的房子和舞台灯光系统，以LED技术，“曼谷莫兰说，LESCO技术.“在更新系统的这个阶段，我们需要仍然使用他们现有的调光器架，所以我们建议使用Chalice LED筒灯和Pegasus LED菲涅耳的Mains-Dimmable技术.“（图片：奥特曼）Chalice LED系列是最多样化的筒灯，可提供安装选项，包括悬吊式，嵌入式，飞机电缆，墙壁和支架安装;从调光到DMX等各种调光选择.Chalice LED系列还提供各种LED颜色或白光选项，以及众多的透镜或反射器选择，是当今最通用且易于集成的筒灯解决方案.（图片：奥特曼）“他们现有的房屋灯光只有10到12英寸的凹罐，每个都使用500W卤素灯，”Moran继续说道。.“此外，他们还有500W的卤素PAR灯被用来点亮改变和交叉.由于这些灯具的成本更高且难以找到替代品，因此他们希望转换为LED以节省能源和成本.在我们讨论他们想要的东西的过程中，我们知道Chalice和Pegasus LED灯具是强化他们崇拜服务的理想解决方案.“作为6英寸或8英寸白色输出解决方案，Pegasus LED菲涅耳既是可调光的，也是DMX控的灯具，可舞台或工作室菲涅耳所期望的柔和光输出.在150W以下，Pegasus满足其750瓦白炽灯对应产品的输出，并且还提供四种不同的色温以及10-70度的点对泛光束传播.（图片：奥特曼）“最后，我们安装了24架飞马座LED灯具，专注于十字架的车站，并沿着圣殿的木梁安装，”Moran补充道.“然后，我们为圣所的房屋安装了48个Chalice LED筒灯.由于圣杯和飞马都是可调光的，所以我们不必增加任何额外的布线，我们仍然可以使用他们现有的预设灯光站在房子后面进行预先录的外观.这是一个非常简单的替代方案，电工实际上能够提前三天完成布线工作.“现在完成了，圣路易斯的新设计.利马天主教玫瑰超出预期.不仅提供LED系统所需的节能和亮度，还展示了理想的改型技术的优势.（图片：奥特曼）“新系统非常完美，他们对LED设计的亮度非常惊讶，”莫兰总结道。.“总体而言，这种解决方案的最大优势是能够在同一灯具中的Mains Dimmable或DMX应用中工作.如果你有一个教会想要更新自己的装置到LED，但仍然需要使用传统的调光系统，那么你就有了一对一的替代解决方案，不需要额外布线，而且灯光效果很好.“以质量和卓越为基础，奥特曼是当今戏剧，建筑，电影和视频的领先创新者之一.Charles Altman创立于60多年前，致力于以合理的价格提供高质量的产品，公司和家族通过最先进的产品创新和经济解决方案继续保持这一愿景.我们经验丰富的设计和工程团队创建了一系列设备，从灯具到白炽灯到LED技术的灯具都可以增强和亮环境来自网络翻译
