LED Tube Lights Light Mount Everest Base Camp

Imagine replicating a hospital  intensive care unit at 17,500 feet elevation. Xtreme Everest 2 recently accomplished this at their Mount Everest Base Camp.Xtreme Everest 2, is a dedicated team of intensive care doctors, nurses and scientists that are studying health problems in hospital intensive care units. The Xtreme Everest 2 location at Mt. Everest  required rugged, energy efficient lighting that could perform well in extremely cold temperatures.The solution was RedBird Cardinal Vapor tight LED Luminaires, PG3-66W-50K-132.

Cardinal LED lighting,  from RedBird LED, a leading manufacturer of LED Linear Replacement Lamps, provide one of the highest lumens/dollar and lumens/watt of any LED lighting fixture. The Cardinal LED tubes are a direct mechanical fit into standard fixtures, operating on any voltage ranging from 110 to 277 VAC, and do not require the fluorescent ballast. Cardinal LED Tube lights deliver 7,000 lumens of light, yet only draw 66 watts.

Jonathan Eppstein, RedBird ’ s President says, ” We ’ re pleased to have been selected to light this important facility. The research being done by this dedicated team will have a huge impact on treating a wide array of medical conditions. Our LED lights, with their high CRI and low energy use fit the bill perfectly for this application. While we in the US may think our energy rates are high, just imagine what the cost of electricity is at the Everest High Base Camp, where generators running on gasoline flown in by helicopter provide all the power. ”
