INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING
LEDs illuminate a roadway
in Sydney’s CBD as part of
City of Sydney’s LED Project.
Members of the public have
commented on the high visual
appeal of the new lighting.
This LED Project installation shows
excellent illumination of a pedestrian
pathway on a Sydney waterfront.
Case study 2: City of Los Angeles
In the largest solid state lighting retrofit
installation in the world to date, the Los
Angeles LED Conversion Program replaced
over 141,000 streetlight fixtures with LED
units over a four year period. The expected
savings of the new lights has exceeded the
initial program goals. Energy use has been
reduced by 63 per cent and carbon emissions
by 47,583 metric tons a year. This proposal has
generated savings in energy and maintenance
costs that will pay for the estimated loan
amount in seven years.
Ed Ebrahimian, Director of the Bureau of
Street Lighting at the City of Los Angeles,
recently commented:
The importance of the LED Conversion
Program cannot be overstated. It is a
shining example of how green technology
can be both environmentally responsible
and cost effective. With the LED program,
we have transformed the night landscape
of the City of Los Angeles, made our city
safer and pedestrian friendly at night,
and have exceeded our initial program
goals on both energy efficiency and CO2
reductions. Angelinos have embraced the
new white LED Light, as we have received
many positive comments from citizens,
community groups, the Los Angeles Police
Department and even the Dark Skies
Association for the reduced sky glow at
night, reduced light pollution and trespass.
We have gained national and international
acclaim by leading the way with our LED
program which has become a model
program and example for a lot of cities
as we continue to get recognition and
inquiries from municipalities and utilities
around the world.
