Did Your Community Convert to LED Streetlights A Decade (or More) Ago?
Early installed LED streetlights are likely no longer providing light to recommended levels. Don’t keep your community in the dark. Today’s products from Cree Lighting can restore needed light levels AND operating budgets.
Where were you roughly ten years ago? If you were living in a cost conscience community that own its own streetlights, you would have likely noticed your streetlights being converted from old HID lamp technology to new LED technology. The primary motivator for these conversions was economics. A well-designed LED streetlight, like those offered from Cree Lighting, were designed to deliver significant energy savings. And, since LEDs held onto their light much longer than legacy lamps, significant maintenance savings in the form of avoiding costly and disruptive re-lamping cycles were also delivered – all while helping keep the community safe for a decade.
Unfortunately, like all light sources, LEDs also produce less light over time. And although the LED luminaires installed a decade or more ago may have provided enough light to meet the needs of communities then, today, many of these streetlights are likely no longer able to provide the light levels recommended for the streets in our communities.
