San Diego improving Downtown District with LED street lighting with wireless controls

THE SITUATION

Looking to improve street lighting in its Downtown District, San Diego officials conducted lighting preference surveys of more than 100 residents and five key stakeholder groups that oversee the city’s maintenance assessments.

THE SOLUTION

LED street lighting was favored after the study indicated broad-spectrum

lighting was preferred by residents and business owners. Wireless lighting

controls were chosen for additional benets and savings.

™

GE’s Evolve equipped with the LightGrid approximately 3,000 high pressure sodium lamps in a move expected

to save the city of San Diego upwards of $254,000 annually—likely even

more when incorporating available dimming schedule features.

“GE worked with us to develop the perfect, functional fixture for our

city with the ideal light output. GE added a band to reduce the uplight and incorporated a frosted lens per our residents’ request. Adding in the adaptive controls took the solution a step further. It is the most beautiful light.”
