LED Roadway Lighting Ltd. Signs LED Retrofit Contract with Nova Scotia Power
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia --(Business Wire)--
LED Roadway Lighting Ltd. (LRL), a Halifax-based manufacturer of
LED-based street and area lighting products, announced a contract with
Nova Scotia Power, an Emera Company, to supply up to 85,000 Satellite™
series fixtures for deployment across the province. The fixtures will be
installed starting in Q4 2012.
The new light fixtures will replace existing 70 - 400 watt high-pressure
sodium (HPS) fixtures. The installation of the new energy efficient
fixtures will provide energy savings of approximately 58% (or a total of
32,479,000 kwH per year). The LRL fixtures, which have a design life
that is significantly longer than conventional HPS technology, will also
provide significant savings in maintenance costs. In addition to the
economic benefits and improved lighting conditions, the retrofit will
yield greenhouse gas reductions of approximately 469,003 tonnes over 20
years, an amount equivalent to removing approximately 4,295 cars from
the road.
This is the latest in a series of project awards announced by the
company. Recent contract announcements have included Salford (UK)
consisting of 24,000 fixtures, the Dominican Republic consisting of
8,000 fixtures, and a 72,000 fixture retrofit over the next five years
with New Brunswick Powe.
LRL President/CEO Charles Cartmill commented, "This is the second large
scale utility retrofit announced by LRL this year. The fact that
utilities are converting to LED technology at such a scale demonstrates
that the economics of conversion are sound. We are pleased that our
products are consistently selected by clients worldwide after extensive
commercial and technical evaluations. We hope that other utilities
around the world see the feasibility of conversion and move forward with
LED street lighting conversion projects."
"LED Roadway Lighting is truly a Nova Scotia success story and I want to
congratulate the company on securing this new contract," said Nova
Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter. "This is an innovative company with a
world-leading product that is helping to strengthen Amherst's growing
reputation as an economic hub in Nova Scotia. It is because of companies
like LED Roadway Lighting that more and more Nova Scotians have the
option of living and working in the community they call home, close to
their families."
