Stanley Electric’
s LED Projector
to Bring Color to the Worldwide
Tourist Attraction- Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls Illuminated
1
Powered by the optical technology for automotive headlights, the super narrow LED module
has been adopted to illuminate the worldwide
landmark.
The ultra-narrow beam LED modules from Stanley Electric Co., Ltd.
(hereinafter referred to as “our company”) will be located on the
border of the United States (State of New York), and Canada (Province
of Ontario) to illuminate the famous attraction.

Ultra-Narrow Beam LED Module
■ Background
The Niagara Parks Commission has been using the xenon short arc bulb to
illuminate the Niagara Falls since 1997. The deterioration of the equipment
LED to public invitations for renewal of the entire fixture in 2014. Our company partnered with the Canadian lighting agency, Salex and 4 other specialty companies※1, and the business was awarded in March 2016.

■ Installation
The light source was placed about 600m away from the landmark. Our
ultra-narrow beam LED projectors were able to clear the needed specification utilizing the advanced optical design cultivated with the automotive
headlights and high quality optical lens technology.

Ultra-narrow beam LED Module
Given our track record in producing automotive headlights, the
modules were able to meet the challenging specifications to
withstand the harsh winter environment that the City of Niagara goes
through.
Power consumption was also a vital part in the renewal of the lighting
of the Niagara Falls. The current xenon short arc bulbs used about
4kW, totaling to about 126kW※2. By switching to LED, the power
consumption was reduced to 54kW※3, effectively reducing the number
by about 43%.
The diversity in color will be another benefit that these modules
will bring to Niagara Falls. The current fixtures are only able to
use 4 color filters to mix, but the new LED projector will be able to
express over 16.77 million colors by mixing and dimming of 4 colors.
According to the Niagara Parks Commission estimated calculation,
the installments will be operative for about 20 years.

■ Moving Forward
New Fixture
The ultra-narrow beam LED modules that are being used for the Niagara
Falls is scheduled to be available for sale during April 2017.
Our company will be exhibiting at the“Lighting Fair 2017,”in the Tokyo
Big Sight West Hall. The product and the Niagara Falls illumination will
be introduced and presented at the site.
