The Netherlands - Luxeon LED luminaires have been installed by Germany's Bocom as the sole light source in the bar of the Hotel Anna in Munich, Lumileds' LEDs creating a key attraction through the use of dynamic colour-changing light. In total over 1800 LEDs from Lumileds, housed in 12 luminaires throughout the bar area, are used to create the control and imagery needed for this designer hotel.

Harald Spilker, sales and marketing manager of Bocom GmbH, said: "The success and on-going high performance of the Hotel Anna solution underlines the benefits of Luxeon LEDs. Creatively we were able to achieve far greater control and dynamism over the lighting solution, while the minimal maintenance and on-going cost savings provide the hotel with a high-performance, cost-effective installation." Bocom is also responsible for the 35,000 Euro lighting refurbishment of the Rhein Tower, Dusseldorf's tallest building. 62 Bull-eye lamps, each containing 12 Lumileds Luxeon I light sources - four each of red, green and blue - replaced the original 100-watt incandescent lamps of the tower, which before had to be changed once every two years at a rate of 150 Euros each.

Keith Scott, market development manager at Lumileds, added: "The success and performance of Luxeon in major projects such as these underlines the advances Lumileds has made in LED technology. With the launch of the Luxeon Lighting Network a growing number of companies are now benefiting from advanced support in their development of LED-based solutions, and over the coming months we shall see an ever greater range of applications taking advantage of the creative design, energy-efficiency and low-maintenance benefits of Luxeon applications."
