51 The new lighting system, which can be partially seen in fi gure 1, is composed by six spotlights based on LED technology. Thanks to this change, the power consumption has been dramatically reduced from 400W of the original halogen lamps system to 18W without loss of lighting quality. Another important change concerns the internal structure containing the processing unit and all the additional electronic components (see fi gure 4). This new structure has been built in aluminium to ensure proper heat dissipation thanks to the direct contact of one of its faces with water. Furthermore, all the heating parts of the system are in direct contact with this structure.
