DOE Publishes GATEWAY Report on LED Area Lighting Retrofit Along Yuma Border Patrol

A GATEWAY report on a trial demonstration has been released by The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in which quartz metal halide (QMH) area lighting was replaced with LED products at three pole locations along a 7.2-mile stretch of the Yuma, Arizona’s Sector Border Patrol Area. The LED system was found to equal or better the incumbent system in terms of both luminance and uniformity, and an advanced optical system and lower pole height improved the luminance uniformity, reduced stray light, and increased projected energy and maintenance cost savings. The high-luminous-flux and high-temperature application is not unique and similar applications can benefit from the findings including correctional facilities, military bases and common street and area lighting.
