The retrofit solution uses the South Florida city’s existing lighting poles along city-owned public thoroughfares.
The retrofit solution is expected to save Weston nearly $160,000 in energy costs and about $100,000 in maintenance expenses annually when compared with its previous metal-halide systems.
The new Roadstar luminaires from Philips Roadway were funded, in part, by federal Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant, which are awarded to local communities making strategic investments to meet the nation’s long-term goals for energy independence and climate change leadership.
The engineering firm of Calvin Giordano & Associates helped the city evaluate LED lighting solutions, including light levels, while the installation is being handled by Horsepower Electric.
