The Southwestern power generating facility, which serves the electrical power needs of approximately four million people in several states, incorporated the Carmanah EverGEN 1530 solar LED lighting systems as a security improvement to facility grounds. The new solar lights were chosen as an economical alternative to traditional grid-powered lighting systems. Including time and installation costs, the company is expecting to save an estimated $2 million.
The stand-alone EverGEN 1530 solar LED light is designed for industrial-scale applications such as parking lot and perimeter lighting. Featuring the LEDway LED lighting fixture by BetaLED, the EverGEN 1530 solar-powered lights are said to deliver high performance and uniform distribution and operate in accordance with Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) guidelines. In an effort to preserve the region’s nighttime sky for residents and visitors, a ‘dark-sky’ friendly full-cutoff fixture has been designed to ensure each EverGEN 1530 delivers light on the ground while reducing or eliminating ‘sky glow’.
Carmanah will showcase its solar LED lighting technology at LIGHTFAIR 2010.
