LED Streetlights - Best Practices in Energy Efficiency, Technology, and Deployment

January 21-22, 2021 | Online :: Central Time

0121-led-streetlighting

Deploying LED Streetlighting has become a very complicated process, involving many considerations and different players to effectively execute. In order to properly assess the value LED Streetlighting can offer, a utility, city, or operator must understand its benefits such as; energy savings, maintenance, longer life, and performance. Additionally, there are many questions at play: does the investment qualify for rebates or other government funded incentives? Will LEDs be compatible with my system? Is there a downside to LEDs and how do I plan for it? Are there any Codes and Standards that I will have to deal with? What about community acceptance? What color of light should I use? Will I have to add or move poles?

This course provides an overview of the current LED streetlighting technology, standards, and best practices.  The course will explain an in-depth methodology to understanding the advantages and disadvantages of LEDs, as well as the costs involved and deployment strategies. If you are interested in the capabilities and return on investment of LED streetlights, as an owner, operator, or investor, this is the course for you!

Learning Objectives

• Discuss the benefits of streetlighting
• Review the fundamentals of effective LED streetlighting
• Review and discuss when to light guidance (Warranting)
• Review and Discuss necessary standards and specifications
• Identify issues to be resolved
• Review streetlighting design elements
