Los Angeles is Blazing the Trail for Connected Street Lighting
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, LED Floodlights, Philips LED
Making the city of Los Angeles a livable city
With Philips CityTouch, Los Angeles remotely manages more than 100,000 street lights to create a more livable city.
Customer challenge
The 215,000 street lights in Los Angeles include more than 400 different styles distributed across 7,500 miles of roadway. Maintenance has traditionally depended on crews who scout the streets at night to identify outages— that, and calls from citizens. The bureau handles 40,000 such calls per year. They needed to find new technology that could improve customer service, make people feel safer, and create a more livable city.
The right system
After piloting systems from several different managers, street lighting directory Ed Ebrahimian selected Philips CityTouch, “the best product at the lowest price.”
CityTouch capabilities that helped decide Ebrahimian included remote monitoring, automatic notification of outages and other events, easy installation and simple commissioning, accurate lighting asset information, integration with the bureau’s existing management systems, and futureproofing through software as a service delivery.

The EU Streetlight-EPC initiative aims to use energy performance contracting to stimulate roadlighting refurbishment
Lux Reports: The EU-backed Streetlight-EPC initiative aims to stimulate use of energy performance contracting (EPC) to drive take-up of energy-efficient streelighting refurbishment. The project hopes to get 36 EPC projects up and running in nine regions across the EU.
Most European regions have not yet seen a significant take-up of EPC, which can be a good funding mechanism in streetlighting refurbishment, where there are high energy costs and huge potential for savings. Apart from legal barriers, this can be attributed to the lack of understanding and trust in EPC and the absence of experienced energy service companies (ESCOs) and organisations facilitating the EPC market.
In Europe, streetlighting consumes a significant amount of electricity: there are more than 56 million streetlighting luminaires in operation, with an estimated electricity consumption of 35 TWh. For municipalities with older, inefficient systems, streetlighting can account for 30-50% of their total electricity consumption. The recent market introduction of LED technology for streetlighting offers high savings with comparatively short payback times.
The Streetlight-EPC project creates demand and supply for EPC projects by setting up regional EPC facilitation services. These services provide comprehensive support to both municipalities and SMEs as potential ESCOs. The nine regions in the scheme are Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Ireland, Sweden, Slovenia, Macedonia and Spain.
The project aims to implement 36 EPC projects, triggering investments worth €49 million, achieving annual savings of 32,100 MWh and €4.8 million. It aims to help 18 SMEs to become ESCOs.
A scheme in Palencia, Spain is a pioneer project. The town has a population of 81,000 and has 11,000 lighting points. High-pressure sodium and mercury lamps were being used, frequently with low efficiency and insufficient colour rendering. As a first step, 3,139 luminaires were changed to LED and a dimming control system was installed. The 12-year EPC contract will guarantee energy savings of 75%, with total savings of €2 million.
The Streetlight-EPC project started on 1 April 2014 and will run until 31 March 2017.

London Goes LED in Biggest Ever Streetlight Upgrade
Comments off · Posted by admin in LED, Uncategorized
Over 35,000 London streetlights are to go LED in a massive ‘invest to save’ project.
Transport for London is to spend close to £11 million installing a central management system and upgrading 35,000 lights to LED by 2016.
Further upgrades will be made over the next 10 years, with most of London’s streetlights to be LED by 2023, as part of a £4 billion investment in the capital’s roads.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said the project would bring lighting on the London’s roads ‘up to 21st century standards’.
Havard Engineering and CU Phosco – both winners at this year’s Lux Awards – will benefit from the work, with Havard winning a multimillion pound contract for the controls and CU Phosco picked as a preferred supplier for the post-top luminaires.
The controls system will be aligned with traffic flow and road usage, and will reduce maintenance costs by keeping track of light failures.
The programme aims to reduce carbon emissions by around 9,700 tonnes a year, delivering annual savings estimated at £1.85 million. Johnson said: ‘With tens of thousands of lights marking the way on our road network it makes complete sense to focus energy and resources on bringing them up to 21st century standards’.
‘This is the largest investment to modernise street lighting on major roads in our capital’s history and will not only cut carbon emissions and save money but it will also lead to even better and safer roads for Londoners’.
