Street Light Assessment

In response to an overwhelming interest in innovations in street lighting technology among cities in its service area, SDG&E’s objective with this assessment was to: • assess both induction and LED lighting technologies, validating manufacturer claims regarding energy savings, light levels and light characteristics • perform a comparison of induction and LED technologies against traditional low pressure sodium (LPS) technology This assessment project illustrates that induction and LED light sources can provide energy savings of 32% to 39%, respectively, without compromising the light characteristics required of street lights.
