1) The Casino Figueira da Foz sought to cut expenses by replacing 3500 halogen decorative lights with more efficient LED lights, without major construction work. 2) Plurirede's solution was to install HALOLED lights, which generate less heat, save on energy and maintenance costs, and allow for innovative visual effects like different colors. 3) The HALOLED lights provide softer, more cozy lighting while respecting the historic structure of the casino.

2. Background
Located in one of the most famous touristic areas of Portugal, the Casino Fi-
gueira da Foz offers a unique product in central Portugal. Having its origins
1. Efficient decorative lighting
back in the XIX century, the Casino is a sign of the development and progress
of the city at the time. With its noble room, the Salão Nobre (Salão Cafée), a
restaurant at the basement and other facilities, one can have access to Casino
games, meetings and conference rooms as well as several shows.
The Casino Figueira undeniably is one of the most important attractions in
central Portugal, still preserving the charisma of the beginning of the century.
Risky Challenges
While facing a structure of the XIX century, our task was both a risk and a chal- 2. Innovative visual effects – virtually
lenge: to convert the existing decorative lighting to LED lighting. As a starting no heat generated
point, we had 3500 35W halogen lamps, with a glass bulb painted
with the intended colour, making red, green, yellow and blue solutions.
The generated heat by the lighting system was massive, to the point of dramatically
increasing the amount of expenses with air-conditioning and maintenance. On the one
hand, we had the opportunity to clearly reduce the Casino’s energy bill, but on the
other hand, we had the commitment not to damage the existing structure and lighting
configuration.
Problems detected
• Disproportionate costs with energy;
• Low durability of the materials: constant increasing of expenses with maintenance;
• High heat generated by the lighting system;
• Pollution: lower durability of halogen bulbs and its non-environmental friendly
characteristics;
3. Softer light for cozy atmospheres
Our Solution: HALOLED
• Multiple colours available;
• Environmental benefits: no mercury or damaging materials associ-
ated;
• Short time investment payback: Energy savings granted with low
maintenance costs.
