Lighting Science’s new street light is currently being installed throughout Puerto Rico.
The new street light provides a reduction in energy costs during its extended operating life, helping governments and communities avoid soaring energy and maintenance costs associated with traditional high pressure sodium street lights.
Lighting Science chairman and chief executive officer Jim Haworth said the company’s new RoadMaster LED street light represents a breakthrough in street light technology.
"The pairing of price and performance will save communities and cities around the world significant amounts of money. As a company, we don’t just speak of catalyzing a clean energy future, we lead — and light — the way," Haworth said.
In partnership with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, around 4000 high-pressure sodium 100W and 150W street lights will be replaced with Lighting Science’s long-lasting RoadMaster street lights, resulting in a reduction in energy usage and maintenance costs of about 50%.
