Keeping people safe on streets, at intersections and even in parking lots requires a variety of vehicle signals, pedestrian signals, traffic controllers and cabinets, programmable CMS signs, and advanced transit management systems.
Not only is safety a concern, but the liveability and beauty of our urban communities are impacted by lights, poles and wires. Decorative poles and lighting fixtures improve the mood of people, both residents and travelers.
Quality pays in long term, low maintenance investment. Parts cast whole or in components and welded together prior to application of finish is a sign of quality. Connecting hardware made of stainless steel socket head style bolts accessible from outside the base improves easy installation. Finish colors made with TGIC polyester powder coating can extend the life of the installation. LED lights provide lower energy costs and lower maintenance -- a real savings for cash-strapped municipal budgets.

LUXEON power LEDs from Philips Lumileds are poised to rapidly increase their presence in front-of-vehicle applications with expected European Union regulations mandating daytime running lamps (DRLs) on new cars beginning in 2011.
One of the major factors driving LUXEON use will be the dramatic reduction in DRL power consumption (Watts), on the order of 80%, made possible by energy-efficient LED technology.
Audi and VW currently offer LUXEON-based daytime running lights, and several other carmakers are
preparing to release vehicles with LUXEON-based DRLs over 2008-09 as part of a movement to improve road safety by increasing vehicle visibility during daylight hours.
This energy savings is critical because DRLs built with conventional bulbs consume more power than any other exterior lighting application due to their always-on daylight use, potentially running afoul of today’s fuel economy standards.
A typical DRL solution with incandescent or halogen bulbs uses 40-80 Watts of power. LUXEON-based
DRLs consume 10 Watts of power or less because of the technology’s low power demands and energy
efficiency.
Given these benefits, any new regulation requiring DRLs is expected to drive broader LUXEON adoption for
daytime running lamps as well as other forward automotive lighting applications. Already, LUXEON
technology is lighting the world’s first all-LED headlight on the Audi R8 supercar.
“Today LED DRLs are used on fewer than 1% of vehicles, in part because daytime running lamps are not
required in most countries. If the new regulation by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe moves ahead as expected, it will increase that number dramatically because of the low power usage,
longevity and design flexibility of LEDs compared to conventional light sources,” said Scott Kern, Vice
President, Automotive Sales, for Philips Lumileds. “LUXEON LEDs promise to lead the market because of
their reliability, high quality white light, and proven performance in the automotive industry.”
Over the years, Philips Lumileds has pioneered many automotive exterior lighting applications with its
LUXEON, SuperFlux and SnapLED products. In addition to driving the industry’s first all-LED daytime
running lamp and all-LED headlamp, the company’s solid-state lighting technology has enabled the world’s
first all-LED rear combination lamp, first single-LED stop-tail lamp, first LED front-, rear- and side-mirror
turn signals.

LED City Initiative Yields Benefits Beyond Energy Efficiency
When Raleigh, N.C., the first LED City, and Cree, Inc. turned on new LEDs in the municipal parking garage, people’s opinion of the quality of the lighting improved threefold.
Raleigh exchanged the previous garage fixtures and their dull orange light for LED fixtures with bright white light, and people felt safer. The number of respondents who perceived the garage as “very safe” increased by 76 percent after the LED fixtures were installed, according to a survey by Mindwave Research of Austin, Texas.
Cree produces LEDs that provide a new source of energy-efficient light that can serve as the foundation for cost-effective lighting solutions. Lighting Science Group Corporation of Dallas, Texas, supplied the LED fixtures installed in the Raleigh garage.
“LED technology provides a clear benefit to municipal infrastructure, as well as to the citizens it serves,” said Charles Meeker, mayor of Raleigh. “This survey shows that LEDs can do more than improve light quality. In addition to the proven environmental and energy efficiency benefits the city has already documented, the survey shows that LEDs’ bright white light can help improve public feelings of safety in city spaces.”
The survey results showed that the parking garage generated a more positive reaction from most of the respondents after the addition of LED fixtures:
Raleigh agrees to become the nation’s first LED City.
The LED City initiative focuses on installing LED lighting, based on Cree’s energy-efficient LEDs, throughout the city to save energy and money and boost the quality of life for its residents by using the best lighting technology commercially available. As a result, the city has improved the energy savings and lighting of its municipal city parking facility, the first of a series of projects aimed at delivering the environmental and economic benefits of LED lighting throughout Raleigh’s “living laboratory.”
Research Note:
The two surveys of 200 people each were conducted on behalf of Cree, Inc. by Mindwave Research, Inc. The pre-installation survey was conducted November 11-13, 2006, and the post-installation survey was conducted February 5-8, 2007.

The survey results showed that the parking garage generated a more positive reaction from most of the respondents after the addition of LED fixtures:
- Both men and women felt significantly safer post-installation: 74 percent rated the garage as feeling “very safe,” while only 2 percent did not feel safe. These figures contrast with the pre-installation numbers: Only 42 percent felt “very safe” with the original lighting, and 13 percent did not feel safe.
- The percentage of respondents who gave the garage an overall rating of “excellent” increased by 100 percent. The number of people who rated it as “poor” decreased from 8 to 1 percent.
- The lighting quality of the garage was “excellent” according to 86 percent of the respondents, a 258-percent increase from pre-installation respondents. The number of people who rated it as “poor” decreased from 18 to 2 percent.
- The cleanliness of the parking garage was perceived as “excellent” by 76 percent of the respondents, while only 58 percent rated it this way before the LEDs were installed, showing a 31-percent increase.

PAR36 Series Marker Lamps and Floodlights by LEDtronics are designed as an energy-saving
substitute for PAR36 sealed beam lamps.
These LED lamps create a bright and glowing spotlight that is perfect for many applications such as industrial vehicles, golf carts, architectural accent lighting, low-heat medical spotlighting, emergency egress lighting systems, landscape lighting, and other utilizations.
The PAR36 Series lamp can be a direct drop-in replacement for 12/14Volt DC, 6Volt DC and 120Volt AC PAR36 incandescent lamps. The LEDtronics lamp housing is a sealed unit that protects the LEDs inside and is resistant to moisture and dust, making it perfect for outdoor purposes where it can withstand exposure to harsh environments. PAR36 lamps carry a three-year limited warranty.
The PAR36 LED lights are available in Warm White (3000 Kelvin), Pure White (5000 Kelvin), and Cool White (8000 Kelvin) color temperatures. For qualified customers, the bulbs are optionally available in other LED colors (including ultraviolet and infrared), voltages, and beam angles. The lamp generates a negligible amount of heat and can brightly indicate your presence while consuming only 4.5Watts of power. An LED cluster lamp continues to provide light even if one or more emitters fail—unlike when the filament fails in an incandescent bulb. PAR36 LED bulbs are designed to perform well in systems subjected to voltage dips or surges. Integrated current-limited resistors ensure that no circuit modifications are required.

PAR36 LED bulbs are designed to perform well in systems subjected to voltage dips or surges. Integrated current-limited resistors ensure that no circuit modifications are required.
Solid-state design renders LEDs impervious to electrical and mechanical shock, vibration, frequent switching, and environmental extremes. With a white LED’s average lifespan of up to 50,000-plus hours (5.7 years), LED lamps operate more than 30 times longer than the equivalent incandescent lamp! LED lamps produce almost no heat and require 80-90% less operating power than equivalent incandescent lamps, making them as friendly to the environment as they are to the operating budget. They are already effectively utilized in applications such as can ceiling downlights, underwater décor lamps (when employed inside a sealed underwater fixture), and headlight/marker lights for industrial trucks. Used as emergency egress lighting at the APS Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, LEDtronics PAR36 bulbs meet and exceed their efficiency needs. Savings from reduced maintenance costs and downtime quickly return the capital investment expenditure!

Lumileds was formed as a 50/50 joint venture between Agilent
Technologies (formerly part of Hewlett Packard) and Philips Lighting. Hewlet Packard's LED developments had advanced to a point at which LED technology
could be thought about in lighting terms, and discussions began with
Philips Lighting. Agilent provided the technology, people, and
facility, selling 50% of its division to Philips, which in turn
provided the funding and packaging infrastructure. Lumileds and
Agilents combined LED sales revenue is currently $175 million.
Based in San Jose, Lumileds employs 700 people worldwide. 350 people work in Silicon Valley, while the majority of the rest of the workforce is based in Malaysia, in the packaging plant. Manufacturing the LEDs (by growing the crystals in a process called epitaxy) is done in Silicon Valley. Between 30-40% of its sales are to the automotive industry. Fifteen percent of Lumileds employees work in the R&D department, most in San Jose, but supported by a small team in Best, The Netherlands.
Leading the way in the development of high-flux, high-powered LED (light emitting diode) technology is Lumileds Lighting. In a few years time the company envisages our homes will be powered by LED technology, using materials that will last for 100,000 hours and run at a fraction of the energy cost.
Lumiled was the first company to specifically target the high brightness, high-power, large chip LED market. In February 2001, Lumileds demonstrated a single white LED with an output of 17 lumens a white light output four times higher than the best known white LED. In March, it announced a new solution for LCD display backlights, which will greatly change the industry.
High flux Luxeon light sources offer a larger range of real-life colour and saturation.
